The film narrates the turbulent times like flowing water.
It reminds me of "Alive". The
new era replaced the old era.
Carlos IV was replaced by Napoleon.
The church was replaced by the revolutionary committee
. The system
changed
. It's the same darkness.
In the end, I haven't seen the light.
In a turbulent society, swaying left and right, who is the bitch
priest Lorenzo mocks Goya for painting for money
But from the details in the film, we see that
Goya's works are always Realism
(even when painting a portrait of the queen still expresses the queen's appearance without any modification),
this is precisely what Lorenzo slapped himself in the face of being
hypocritical, cunning, and obscene
. This film satirizes cunning politicians. It
has to be mentioned that the performance of Spanish actor Javier Bardem is impeccable
. This man who looks like Pirlo shows the insidious cunning of priests and politicians to the fullest,
which also wins him a golden statue.
The film is named after Goya's Spirit, but neither Goya nor his works can serve as the main line of the film.
What drives the plot development is a turbulent society.
The painter Goya just silently recorded this history, the blood and tears of the Spanish people's resistance to foreign invaders.
In the end, the mighty Great Britain acted as Interpol and drove out the French army in Spain.
Another protagonist of the film, Elise, was thrown into prison for 15 years for trumped-up charges and gave birth to Lorenzo's daughter in humiliation.
And her daughter became a prostitute.
In the eyes of the painter, Elise is not just his model,
but an angel, a goddess
, he is in the tavern, on the street, in the studio, when you close your eyes, you can think of beauty incarnate
The roulette of all destiny is manipulated by the giant hand of the times It is this source of beauty that is ruthlessly destroyed.
In the last scene of the film, Elise is holding her dead husband's hand tightly and disappears from the painter's field of vision.
The director may want to say that it is the war that destroys the beauty of the world and reminds people to cherish peace.
