It's my favorite costume theme. Well... as a biographical film of a classical artist, perhaps no one can surpass "Mozart". (Actually, if you look back, you will find that acquired power is limited in the end, and most of the moving power comes from the soundtrack of the movie, that is, Mozart himself.) Although it is a bit unfair, Goya's paintings are also powerful, but unfortunately they are used in movies. After all, the impact is not as intuitive as music.

But as far as the film itself is concerned, the plot is flat. Two men who were supposed to be good friends were moved by the same woman, the painter of Plato and the priest who succumbed to the flesh. The woman then went to the Inquisition, and a few years later became a lunatic and was released to find her lost daughter. In this process, the original two men, one good and the other evil, each embarked on a different path.

Fortunately, it does not focus on boring sensationalism like "Beethoven", but focuses on exaggerating the historical trend and the fate of the country and the country, and it has a corresponding sense of heaviness. Used the background of the Spanish Inquisition and Napoleon's invasion of Spain. The tone and lensing are also very similar to those large-scale oil paintings with historical themes.

In short, it is a film with a PASS plot, suitable for watching pictures.

    In fact, the film depicts Goya very little. In fact, it is these narrations of events other than Goya that really bring the audience closer to Goya's heart and feel how kind and meaningful those "black paintings" are.

    The story is not bad, the family of three looks like the last one. It would be better if it wasn't for Goya as a gimmick
