Originally, I didn't know which movie to choose as the final assignment for the class "Western Culture". Because the teacher mentioned "The Spirit of Goya" in the last class, I chose this movie out of curiosity. For two hours, the left hand has been pinching the flesh of the right hand, and I kept praying for the end, because I couldn't bear to see the misfortune of Inness and the success of Lorenzo's villain. As the plot develops, I slowly see the end. , the whole person entered the plot of the movie, until the little girl's song began to sound and gradually weakened, and finally the picture was fixed on Goya's self-portrait, and it was suddenly pulled out of the story. Because it is a movie to be reviewed, I have a lot of utilitarian intentions when watching it. I have always told myself that if you want to dig deeper and grasp the main theme, you must watch it deeply... but it affects the viewing effect. This is the worst thing to do, so I plan to watch it again, just for the movie and nothing else. Influenced by the title of Goya's ghost, I have been thinking about what role Goya has in the whole story. After reading the whole story, I feel that the central character of the movie is not Goya. I think that if Goya's spirit must be expressed in a figurative form, then Innes is his spirit. Goya's frescoes used her as an angel, and he devoted all his energy to painting her frown and smile, and he affectionately called her "the witch" . Even in the more than ten years that Innes was in prison, even if the society was in turmoil, the forces of revolutionaries and royalists were separated, and the war was endless, even if Goya gradually lost his hearing, no matter where he went, he could always see Innes. Nisi's face is smiling, struggling, out of control, and resolute. The picture of society came into his eyes, and it turned into the ever-changing expressions of Inness. He used her to see the world, and he kept drawing portraits of the times on the drawing board. Goya is a devout Catholic, at least in this movie. He has always maintained a delicate relationship with the church. On the one hand, he faithfully exposed the ugliness of the church and refused to deal with the Inquisition; on the other hand, he maintained a good personal relationship with Father Lorenzo, a top figure in the church. As for the darkness inside the religious court, I believe that he did not see clearly. In fact, he was just a recorder of the times. He was not reckless, radical, or had no special political opinions, and he simply adhered to the heart of man. Innes was imprisoned for injustice, and Goya was begged by Innes' father and decided to ask Father Lorenzo to mediate and inquire about Innes's news. Obviously, the priest is not a suitable person. He met Inness and passed the news of the family, but he did not change his mind and took advantage of Innes when she prayed. In the end, Innes They gave birth to their daughter, Aisilia, in prison. Of course, this is something that will be discussed later. One of the episodes that fascinated me was the brutal torture of Innes during her trial. Unable to withstand the torture, she was forced to confess to the charge of being unfaithful to Christianity. At Inness's house, Inness's father Tombs took the opportunity to have a conversation worth exploring between Lorenzo and Goya. Tombs asks, can such a (brutal) punishment by the church really be conclusive evidence? Of course, Lorenzo said, there is also doctrinal recognition of the guilt of the proceeds of punishment. Goya said that if he was tortured, he would have pleaded guilty on the merits, because the torture was too difficult. Lorenzo said, Goya, you will not do this, because you believe in God, you will not confess unwarranted sins. Goya said, what if I can't bear the pain, if I lose my mind, in the face of the pain, what is my devotion to the Lord? Lorenzo said that God will give those who are pious the power to relieve pain. Seeing this, I am really angry, is idealism really a panacea! Does it really make sense to trade happiness in this world for an unknown afterlife paradise? Can anyone really believe this kind of self-deception unconditionally? Unfortunately, the religious era did not think so. Although the soup Booth coerced Lorenzo to save his daughter by forcing Lorenzo to be tortured and irrational to sign the "admitted to be a chimpanzee hybrid", but this did not change the final outcome. Even as we all know, the most iron-willed will succumb to cruel punishment. But in the face of the truth, most people chose the will of the Lord. Lorenzo must be the darling of the times today. Because he is too duplicitous to follow suit. This sly monk turned into an instigator of the Declaration of Human Rights when the revolutionary wave swept across Spain after the French Revolution, and everywhere he went was cheered by the people. complacent. He can deceive Innes, who is already insane, and hide the whereabouts of Innes from Goya. After learning that the British army invaded Spain and the Royalists made a comeback, he arranged to escape as quickly as possible. Unfortunately, he died tragically in the end, and the agency was too clever. Hateful as it may be, the character is actually pretty good for the film as a whole. In him I smelled a touch of romanticism instead. Lorenzo once said to Goya: I am better than you, after all, I have made a difference and found my true faith, and you have nothing but money in your eyes. "For Goya at that time, this sentence was appropriate. After all, Lorenzo followed the changes of the times, and when the revolutionaries occupied Spain, Goya introduced himself to the outside world as "the painter of the king", which shows that he has a deep understanding of the times. The indifference of development. The film deliberately downplays Goya's other characters, but highlights his love for Inness. It is a kind of pure appreciation and selfless help without any blasphemous color. Even if he is deaf, he has worked hard Hard, all he tried to do was to hope that Innes would meet his daughter again. In his opinion, regardless of status or occupation, the bloody bond was hard to let go, precisely because Inness was his spirit , he does not want to see her suffer. It is precisely because of his "unchanged" that he has always adhered to the original virtue. Between Lorenzo and Goya, such a contrast between change and change makes one feel that even if The political situation is changing, but the original virtues of human beings are still as firm as ever. The love and kindness that we have will not betray with the tug-of-war between religion and political power. This is the most precious wealth of human beings. The fate of Lorenzo and the profound changes in society Are closely related, and Innes adheres to a mother's heart, and Goya is guarding his spirit. The fate of the characters in the big era is so insignificant but enough to bear the unique mark of an era. Daughter of Innes and Lorenzo , Aisilia, was born in 1793. The most violent and turbulent era. She is also as lively as this era, full of naive girlish flavor. The meaning behind this character is unknown, but until the end, the mother and daughter did not recognize each other. What kind of feeling is this trying to express? I think the next generation's life is up to you. The film does not want us to see her future, but leaves a young smiling face. Christianity plays a key role in this film. The immediate manifestation of the political struggle in Spain was the survival of the Inquisition. Religion emphasizes faith, philosophy emphasizes doubt. From a certain perspective, the French and even European revolutions at the end of the 18th century were also a tug of war between religion and philosophy. Since Constantine issued the Edict of Milan, after the legalization of Christianity, religion began to fight back, and the power of philosophy was almost exhausted in the Middle Ages. The Enlightenment re-examined rational values, brought a new understanding of philosophy and human nature in all directions, and lit a bright light for Europe in the dark. Voltaire, Darwin, the names of these great figures all appear in the film, albeit in a disdainful tone from the church. This film does not particularly pour emotion into philosophical science, it just presents without rendering. I like this kind of narrative atmosphere very much, not emphasizing, not sensational, just narrating quietly. I think the reason why Christianity has been impacted by philosophy is that, in addition to the scientific nature of philosophy itself, it is also inseparable from the corruption and darkness of the church. Tolerance to other religions has rarely been heard since Catholicism took hold. Religion emphasizes tolerance and equality, but has zero tolerance for the existence of other beliefs. What a great irony. It is to give the power of love to all believers, but to pin it on happiness after death. Now think about how groundbreaking Thomas Jefferson's emphasis on human happiness in this world was in the Declaration of Independence! The old forces made a comeback, and Lorenzo was sentenced to death amid the scolding of the crowd. Among the thousands, only Innes shouted to him holding the daughter she thought she thought, the father she always thought still loved the child. Mandela said that the greatest love is forgiveness, and when she suffered so much, Innes still did not lose her noble and innocent kindness. At the end of the film, the carriage with Lorenzo's body lurches forward, and Innes holds the child and holds the dead Lorenzo's hand tightly. It was dusk in the alley, and there were little girls singing unknown nursery rhymes around the carriage. Goya was not far from the carriage, followed, standing. His soul is immortal, and the goodwill of mankind lives forever. This reminds me of Hugo's famous "93". Although Guo Wan and Simurdan had different camps and positions, the swirling wars and fierce political struggles could not erase their kind hearts. The more turbulent times are, the more we strive to pursue these beautiful qualities that give us the meaning of life. This is different from religion, nor can it be explained clearly by various philosophical books. As long as there are these rays of light, no matter how faint, we can see our soul clearly. This is the essence of Goya's spirit. This reminds me of Hugo's famous "93".
