A masterpiece that successfully describes history with a personal cut

Natalie's "Black Swan" made me pay attention to her superb acting skills, and then I learned that she was actually the little girl in "This Killer Is Not Too Cold".
When she grows up, like the last scene in Black Swan, it makes people feel suffocated.
It was because of her that I downloaded this film to my computer so that I could watch it when I had time;
it was because of her that this film, in the context of its long history, described the absurd era of chaotic wars to myself. The ultimate in thought.
Involuntarily, I was reminded of Chinese historical genre films.
The traditional emphasis on scenes, capital investment, and unreasonable generalities. Seeing that so much real money has been spent, there is always no suitable entry point to perfectly present the theme.
But this "Spirit of Goya" has shocked me many times, and I couldn't help but applaud many times.
entry point. Whether it's writing or filming or any form of description, the entry point is very important.
If it is not found, the whole will be greatly damaged.
The name of the movie is Goya's Spirit, which is also translated as Goya's Soul in some places.
Anyway, the title of the biased phrase bluntly suggests that the main thread is Goya.
A Spanish painter who specialized in painting portraits of important court officials and nobles at that time.
The director doesn't tell you exactly what kind of story he wants to tell.
However, through the vision of the painter Goya, he successfully described a naive young girl Maja (played by Natalie) at that time, how was it ruined by two different eras?
One is religion - God is the head of all power, and the king is only a nominal puppet era; the
other is the era of the great revolution when the king woke up and competed with the Catholics for power.
Natalie's performance in it can definitely light up the whole movie, and let us see clearly how the development of Europe was realized in such a big era, what kind of life the common people lived in that era, What kind of pain did you go through.

    The title of the film is a bit strange. Does the spirit of Goya refer to his painting or the girl in the painting? In short, it is a bit far-fetched to use Goya to string up this human comedy or this piece of history. ps, why is the revolution so similar no matter what time and space it takes place in? . . .

    Ignoring the title discrepancy, the movie is still pretty good
