Natalie's films that I don't quite agree with

I didn't read it carefully, and superficially said that I couldn't get used to Natalie Portman's later appearance. I was not used to it, because her beauty was so deep and indelible in my heart. Goya only acts as a clue in the film, Goya's Ghosts, unable to understand such a title and theme. I'm also not used to stories based on strong historical backgrounds, which make me unpredictably depressed, especially religion and revolution. There are many reasons for not being used to it. Watching movies is also habitual. If you are not used to it, you cannot like it. Recently, I always watch some movies that lack life, and whether it is dull or bright, the inherent vitality is always what we have been pursuing.

Inés: [model pointing at defaced portrait] Why doesn't that painting have a face?
Goya: Because he is a ghost.
Inés: No, he is not.
Goya: Have you ever seen a ghost?
Inés: No. But I have seen a witch.
Goya: Oh, did you?
Inés: Yes, but she had a face.
Goya: So what did she look like?
Inés: She was... all bent and creepy, and she...
[whispers:]
Inés: stank.
[makes disparaging sound]
Goya: That's interesting, because the witch that I know, she's... she's young, very lovely, and she smells of jasmine.
Inés: [smiles] She does?
Goya: She does. And I'm working on her portrait... right now.
Inés: [smiles as it dawns on her what he means] I'm no witch!
Goya: [chuckles] How do you know?

Inés: No...
Tomás Bilbatúa: Where did you go with your brothers last night?
Inés: The tavern.
[shakes her head]
Tomás Bilbatúa: Think. Did you say something sacrilegious?
Inés: [shakes her head] No.
Tomás Bilbatúa: [to his two sons] Was there an incident or something they could hold against her?
Álvaro Bilbatúa: She kissed the feet of a dwarf.
[Inés sticks her tongue out at him]
Tomás Bilbatúa: [to his daughter] You did?
Álvaro Bilbatúa: She did.
[his mother scoffs]
Inés: Everyone did.
Ángel Bilbatúa: You know... they can summon her just to... testify against someone else.
María Isabel Bilbatúa: [hoarsely] Someone else?
Inés: Is there someone you know they might be interested in?
Inés: I don't know.
[shakes her head]
Inés: No.
