Tim Bolton's "Big Eyes" is a vivid and full of visual metaphors. While reminiscing about their external images, it also gave them a few more romantic fantasies in their hearts. Maybe when you watch the movie, it will be very different from what you expected, because we know more about Keane in our online information? I think it is our inner reaction that makes us look at the movie more "dramatic". Perhaps this "dramatic" does not happen in the movie itself, but is reflected in our personal views of this real event. view.
This kind of "drama" also appeared in the scene where they went to the court to defend together. This scene, which seemed to us to have a certain meaning, ended in a dull, imitative and comedic performance. This scene is also the ending part of this film based on real events. The movie seems to tell us: This is Marguerite's kind of relief for this dark experience that happened to her. If this is really what Margaret thought in her heart, I think we should be happy to walk out of this psychological shadow for her. Just like "Survival in the Wild", which is also based on real events, if it weren't for the long relief of McCandless's parents in the center of ten years, they would not agree with Sean Penn to make this movie, and we too It will not be moved by them again.
There are also some black-and-white scenes about Keane in the movie. The content described in these scenes are all the social achievements that Keane achieved in that era. And we can't deny that he is indeed a marketing genius. At the beginning of the movie, there was a sentence affirming his talent: "I think what Keane did is really good, otherwise there will not be so many people like it." (I have to admit, it is precisely because of the movie. The opening sentence disturbed my thoughts on watching "Big Eyes" next?) We know that Keane passed away in 2000 before "Big Eyes" was released. To a certain extent, Tim Bolton also gave these black and white scenes in the movie some special meaning.
So is there any negative attitude toward this matter in the movie? We can always see Margaret painting scenes in a room with dazzling sunlight, most of the time she will stay all day. When Keane was not at home, her daughter secretly found the key under the porcelain. When she visited her mother who was locked in the house, Margaret looked panicked and frightened. Ryan discovered their secret, Keane yelled at him gaffefully, and yelled at Margaret: her friends are not allowed to come to his villa in the future.
At the beginning of the movie, we were attracted by the bright, highly saturated colors on the screen. These romantic colors also appeared in the initial romantic time between Margaret and Keane, and in the scenes after she ran away from home for the second time. It's just that in this special age, it has been confirmed that a woman's independent existence is not as good as she imagined. In the process of meeting, falling in love and getting married with Keane, the use of romantic tones and incoherent editing can also be said to be Margaret’s inner struggle when she broke through this social environment for the first time, and there are a large number of independent female images in the film. The appearance of is also like telling us: Women are ushering in an era of "liberation".
"It was a great time in the 1950s, if you were a man?"
