the 60's

I have always liked watching foreign biographies, and this one is not bad. In the United States in the 1960s, people began to pay more attention to fighting for more rights for women and all kinds of people. Margaret is a typical representative, and of course he was successful in the end. Walter Keane is a modern scumbag. He is comparable to the successful man who has been on the Internet some time ago who has been with 17 women and cheated money and sex. We are under pressure from all sides in our work and life every day. We are constantly busy. We all regard hobbies as luxury goods, but Margaret still insists on painting every day until she is old. Maybe she didn't expect her paintings to be famous at the beginning, it was purely her hobby. (personal idea)

    That part of the court trial is just bullshit...but the movie is very feminist, but it's still boring because the ending is unexpected.

    Adapted from real events, it's hard to imagine that this is Burton's work: it's not dark and gothic, and there's no Depp involved. I really don't know why he made this kind of subject matter. Does he want to transform? The color tone of the whole film is very bright, with a slightly "Edward Scissorhands" style, and once discussed the tragedy brought about by commercialization. Without sincerity, there will be no good works of art. Painting is like this, and movies are also if so

Big Eyes quotes

  • Margaret Keane: I think people buy art because it touches them.

    Walter Keane: Yeah, you're living in fairyland. People don't get to discover anything. They buy art because it's in the right place at the right time.

  • Hipster Lady: I think it's creepy, maudlin and amateurish.

    Hipster Man: Exactly. I love it.
