Movie update!

My cinema sessions have decreased lately, mostly because of the money and time shortage. Time and Money, actually two of my favorite songs from Pink Floyd. I bet they didn't go to the movies a lot too. They couldn't, must have been quite sad.

The last movie I saw was Goya's Ghosts. I got really curious about this movie ever since I found out Francisco Goya's paintings, which are the most both bizarre and horrific... a third classifier would be "magnificent". A truly remarkable and surrealistic vision about the Spanish Inquisition, quite surprising especially for it's own time.

The movie features Stellan Skarsgård as Goya, Javier Bardem as an odd brother (Lorenzo), and the beautiful Natalie Portman as Inês / Alicia (she plays two roles). The main plot begins in a very simple way. Inês becomes an inspirational Muse to Goya, who keeps relating her to an Angel. She represents the state of the art of pureness to Goya. But, the inquisition soon declares Inês to be a heretic, against the wishes and fights of both Goya and her family. But the film is not a story of love... in fact, the sequences are as real as they can get. The plot develops mainly around these three main characters, and Goya does not get a major part of the plot here, like one would think.
Goya's Ghosts is not meant to be told, but to be seen. There is much beauty in all the scenes, as they're easily pictured as paintings. It's harsh like life sometimes is, so justice doesn't play a particular role here. You can find more information about the movie here.
