watching the movie, there is no typical movie impression of "this is TIM BURTON". And there is a feeling of calming down and thinking about what the movie wants to express.
I saw three levels of ideas: 1. "Big eyes" can be regarded as "real art", 2. Is the female protagonist really so wronged, 3. Is the male protagonist really inexcusable sin
"Big eyes" is actually not very The profound artistic connotation and technique, the paintings are simple and easy to understand, let people remember the innocence, stubbornness and desire in the eyes of children, plus the printing of cheap posters and postcards, they are loved by the public. No matter how despised the critics, it cannot change the public's recognition of paintings. This is the art of life. But Walter didn't understand the actual meaning of big eyes, so his argument was pale and weak, and he could only calm down his anger at his wife and children at home.
In fact, the female protagonist realized the despicableness of the male protagonist when she discovered that the male protagonist sold paintings under his name, but just like she initially agreed to the male protagonist's proposal, what she needs is a stable family and sweet words from the man for her and her daughter. The hero did a good job on these two points. It was a talented business man who pushed his big eyes to the masses and marketed it, which was impossible for a female protagonist. He doesn't just spend money to ignore his wife and children, at least in the movies, he just loves social, not cheating. When the hostess found out that his lie was not just about big eyes, the daughter of the ex-wife, the fake painting, the hostess finally realized that the host's reputation was completely bankrupt, and she still did not make up her mind to leave her husband. It was the husband who lost his temper after drinking and fled to Hawaii with his daughter.
This is not to criticize the cowardice of the heroine. Instead, it reflects a family reality that still exists today: the wife always bears all the pressure at home and sacrifices for the success of her husband's career, but this kind of hardship is not for outsiders. Outsiders will only see whether your house is big and gorgeous, whether your life is luxurious enough, and whether your husband has a good reputation. Especially in that era, the beginning of the film reminded everyone that "it was an era when single mothers were far from popular." The hostess left her first husband without being particularly arrogant (although the husband is already so bad that everyone and gods are angry), she left alone with her daughter who was in elementary school. As an artist, the heroine does not have the kind of perseverance and radiant brilliance of a strong woman. With her, she can only rely on the hero in spirit and life. As discussed above, the male lead is still a qualified husband. So she forbeared for 10 years before escaping.
It is not a heinous husband, but it highlights the difficulty of women's self-awakening. It's a pity that TIM BURTON doesn't seem to be so good at this subject, and his expressiveness can only be regarded as mediocre. It's a pity...
