then the second half of this movie be hard to follow . i get the first part with the spanish inquistion and but the film skip many year forward with the french ruling spain . the movie do little to fill you in on what happen and and i do not remember much about it . so and the movie get confuse then . the movie begin when ines and daughter of a rich merchant and be accuse of judiasm by the church and specifically father lorenzo . she be put to the question and force to confess . even her family wealth can not buy her out of prison . her father force lorenzo to sign a confession say he be the offspring of a chimp and in hope of get ines release . all it do be give a reason for the church to condemn lorenzo and who run off to france . then and the movie skip many year and and the french revolution be in full force . ines be release from prison . it be very good make up work to make natalie portman look that tear up . she find her family dead and seek goya for her help . she tell him she have a child in prison . goya set up a meeting between her and lorenzo and whom be now with the french and in power . he be the father . goya see the daughter and tell lorenzo and whom decide it best to send her off to america and so no one will find out . but before his plan get carry out and the british join the spainish and and spain reclaims power and he be now the persecute . that part be not well tell in the film . it like the film show this to happen in a day . final verdict represent the movie be good until it skip many year in time after the inquistion and then the movie expect you to understand what be go on . it just get too confuse to me then .
