      Write to myself "the attraction of third- and fourth-rate art like big eyes to me"

      Regarding the art of big eyes,

        some art is not a masterpiece. If you insist on putting it on the palace, it will be counterproductive. It will be criticized and slandered by various media and public opinion. It is also a good art. A good positioning depends on hype. The thing that is popular is that it is admired by everyone and does not make people feel that there is anything worthy of respect.

        "Art should be sublimated instead of blindly catered for" This sentence is...

      Female painters under the oppression of the three major mountains (7/10)

      Big Eyes (2014) is the new work of "Batman" director Tim Burton, based on real history. The director, accustomed to the gothic and weird style, presented a light and bright sketch this time. The plot is simple and easy to understand, and the colors are clear and lively, but the theme has its own profoundness: after the war, abstract expressionism, pop art In the tide of modern art, how traditional realistic painters, especially female artists, survive and develop.

      love and deceit fairy tale

      The first time I saw the big eyes staring straight at the world on the poster, it was like a fairy tale. When I saw Director Tim Burton again, I always thought that the big eyes in the film would come to life. After watching it, I realized that I ignored it. The fact that this film is a biopic.

             The movie sets are indeed Tim Burton's long-standing style. The combination of various solid-color sets makes San Francisco in the middle of the last world like a fairy tale. Compared...

      With your big EYES and your big LIES

      Watching this movie as an artist makes people hold their breath until their blood bursts, then finally comes down and calm down, smile for a second, and the movie is over.
      The pace is good, it's a true story, but at the same time there's a fantasy feel that reminds me of big fish) because it's real, it doesn't need any tricks of big ups and downs in Hollywood, not that kind of movies, if you want to watch you can watch the dark knight, steel man. . .
      Amy Adams is still a delight. I...

      【Big Eyes】: Bolton's practical work

      After 12 years of "Dark Shadow" box office and word of mouth double fiasco, Tim Burton, who has been dormant for two years, brought us his new work "Big Eyes" at the end of 2014. This time, his golden team has gathered screenwriters Scott Alexander and Larry Kraszewski, who worked together on "Ed Wood" 20 years ago, Oscar winner Christopher Watts, and actress Amy Alexander. Adams, and his spearhead, pointed to the American painting world in the 1960s.

              The film is based on the...

      It certainly wasn't like the grotesque Bolton before, but the courtroom confrontation fit his style. But the disadvantage of the film is that the performances of the male and female protagonists are not very good. The audience will not only sympathize and even question the behavior and cowardice of the female protagonist for a long time, but the male pig is still a funny face after being exposed. , which indirectly weakens the disgust that lies bring to...

    The whole story of "Big Eyes" is so weird and interesting, so the film will attract the attention of the audience. However, this attention did not make the story of the film shine ( reviewed by the Arizona Republic) . This is a wonderful story, a mixture of art, artist, emotion and intellectual copyright. The feminine theme makes it even more outstanding ("Philadelphia Inquirer" review) . In the film, the work and life of the artist...

    Waltz’s performance directly made Adams uncomfortable, and this is to be blamed on the film, because Adams’s role is a character that has no fun and shows itself ("Boston Globe" review) . The film gradually became lifeless and lifeless, which is exactly the same as Big Eyes's illustrations ( reviewed by the Wall Street Journal) . Bolton fainted one after another, leaving his film in a situation where he couldn't get better. It neither...

    Movie quotes

    • Walter Keane: What are you afraid of! Just because people like my work, that means automatically it's bad?

      John Canaday: No, but it doesn't make it art either. Art should elevate, not pander. Particularly in a Hall of Education.

      Walter Keane: You have no idea! Why does someone become a critic? Because he cannot create!

      John Canaday: Oh, dear. That moldy chestnut.

      Walter Keane: Don't interrupt! You don't know what it's like to put your emotions out there, naked for the whole world to see!

      John Canaday: What emotions? It's synthetic hack work. Your masterpiece has an infinity of Keanes, which makes it an infinity of kitsch.

    • Walter Keane: What is wrong with the lowest common denominator? Huh? That's what this country was built on! I'm gonna sue everybody.

    • Jehovah's Witness #1: We have something to share with you about the wonderful things that God's kingdom will do for mankind.

      Margaret Keane: Well, from where I'm standing, I don't see much good anywhere. Just a lot of pride and thievery and people treating each other poorly.

      Jehovah's Witness #1: Do you know what it says in Timothy 3:1-5? "In the last days, critical times hard to deal with will be here. For men will be lovers of themselves."

      Margaret Keane: Sounds like my ex-husband.
