Trivia:
The orange long-sleeved gown with accordion-pleat trim on the over-sleeves worn by an extra in the square at the end of the film is the same costume worn by an extra in the Pump Room when Anne talks with Mr. Elliot in Persuasion (2007) (TV), by Lady Willoughby when she meets Lady Russell in the Pump Room in Persuasion (1995), and by the dance teacher during the fan-language lesson in "The Regency House Party" (2004). more
Goofs:
Anachronisms: In the first scene (dated 1792), it is stated that prints of Goya's anti-inquisition paintings are sold "even as far as Mexico". The use of the name "Mexico" is incorrect here, since at the time, it was actually a Spanish colony, not a country, and was known as "The New Spain". It was not until 1810 that the colony began fighting for its independence (on sept. 16th) in a war that lasted until 1821. Then it was known as "The Empire of Mexico" with Agustin De Iturbide as its emperor and included not only its present day territory but also the southern US states of Arizona, New Mexico, California and Texas among others, as well as the central American territories which later became Guatemala, Belice, Honduras, Nicaragua, El Salvador and Costa Rica. Later, in 1824 Iturbide was executed, the Central American territories became independent, and the first Mexican constitution was issued which established a republic as the form of government and for the first time used "Estados Unidos Mexicanos" (United Mexican States), or in short form Mexico, as the official country name. It was also at this time that the green, white and red flag with an eagle in the center was adopted (though the eagle was different from the present-day eagle on the country's flag). more

Hollywood will have to wait for long time to see again films of such quality,films that are condemned not to have a big commercial success but films that will remain in the history of art of cinema.The "ghosts of Goya" is taking us back to a past time showing with incredible reality the conditions of this time,and helped by a great performance of the actors,Milos Forman gives us another sample of his rare directing talent.In the question which film i like most "Amadeus" or "the ghosts of Goya" i can't decide which is more great,Mozart-a genius of music composing,Goya-a genius of painting,aspects of their lives under the unique look of Milos Forman.When i went to see this movie,here in a small town of Greece,there were only 25 people in the cinema,while films like "300" were played here for 2 months with the halls full of people.What can i say?History will judge us all...
