Goya's Ghost Synopsis

       Milo Forman's movie is about the famous Spanish artist Francisco Goya who witnessed the government and religion abuse of power during the 18th century. The drama starts when Goya's muse named Ines Bilbatua was accused of practicing Judaism and tortured by the Spanish inquisition. Goya get involved when the exasperated muse's father, a wealthy merchant asked him for help. At this time Goya was the royal official artist and also he was painting a portrait of the an important Catholic religion member known as the Brother Lorenzo. Even with the cleaver plan of the muse's father they could not free the girl because of the king's cunning advisers who were religious spies. The brother Lorenzo had to disappear. Sixteen years later France army invaded Spain and abolished the inquisition and jailing the General inquisitor, and at this time Goya lost his hearing. The  prisoners were released. Ines found all the members of her family death, after that she went to ask for Goya's help to look for a daughter that she had on jail. Brother Lorenzo who was part of Napoleon's invasion and part of France government in Spain, helped Goya to look for Ines' daughter. The movie concluded when British army helped Spain to recover the power and the Brother Lorenzo was executed by the inquisition. 

       The movie has a good drama among a beautiful woman, a famous artist, and a powerful man. Even though the movie is not about the Goya's biography it helped to understand why Goya draw horrible people and degrading situations in the last stage of his life. Milo Forman shaped Goya's paintings on his movie like war scenes, inquisition tortures, and all the characters of the movie. Also the movie shows how the human life at that time and now is the same. All the time is the same history when few people make the decisions provoking wars, sicknesses, oppression, but the worst is that the majority is living unconscious, caught in fear, comfort or vain illusions.
