Goya's Ghosts (2006) or: How We Learned to Stop Flipping Coins and Love Fernando Tielve




























↑ Milos Forman cast Natalie Portman after noticing her likeness to the girl in Goya's painting "Milkmaid of Bordeaux". well well well...



When asked why a film about such a quintessentially Spanish artist was made in English, the director replied "I don't speak Spanish."





修道士口操鱉腳英文,背景則是毫不忸怩的西班牙文,娜塔莉波波看不下去,大方示範長春藤猶太女如何說一口漂亮美語,為什麼我得為語言不統一感到不適?至少看完電影可以了解雙面葛妮絲 笑點。好影評給觀眾不同的觀點,時代雜誌影評就是好影評。



Cheer up. Remember what the Monty Python boys say.

"Always look on the bright side of life"? 

No, "Nobody expects the Spanish Inquisition." 



TIME



By analogy, Goya's Ghosts has much to say, largely through this character, about such current issues as torture, terror and the fact that some people can profit hugely by making up ideological justifications for the anarchy they loose upon the world. If you find yourself thinking about, say, Abu Ghraib while you're watching this movie, that's OK with Forman and Carriere. 



What I found myself thinking about, curiously enough, was Les Miserables. Whether you steal some bread or casually decline a slice of pork, in certain situations terrible consequences can ensue from such seeming inconsequences



not to mention a narrative of epic proportions. I'm not saying that Goya's Ghosts is ever going to be regarded as a world-historical masterpiece. But it has grand scale and grand ambitions, and in the midst of our annual silly season at the movies I would like to suggest that, flawed as it is, the film does reward our serious attention.

Javier Bardem ...  Lorenzo 

Natalie Portman ...  Inés / Alicia ← totally redundant

Stellan Skarsgård ...  Francisco Goya ← bears a (not so) striking resemblance to Colin Firth and once lived in Dogvile as an apple farmer who slept with Nicole Kidman in his own truck (so did every man in the village except Paul Bettany of pallor)  

Randy Quaid ...  King Carlos IV 

Michael Lonsdale ...  Father Gregorio 

Blanca Portillo ...  Queen María Luisa

Fernando Tielve ...  Álvaro Bilbatúa!!! 





 



Lásky jedné plavovlásky (1965)

奧斯卡最佳外語片提名



Horí, má panenko (1967)

奧斯卡最佳外語片提名

威尼斯金獅提名,老話一句:Criterion 出品榮耀同入圍柏坎威。













Fernando Tielve, having enough of Natalie Portman, we're always looking for new faces, here he comes along.









B000066C6I.01.jpg Fernando Tielve won a Young Artist Award for El Espinazo del diablo, directed by Guillermo del Toro. Guillermo del Toro The Great is the epithet of Guillermo del Toro; in other words, Guillermo del Toro The Great was a later appellative.
