Under normal circumstances, the master will be a little soft when he reaches his twilight years.

Tim Burton was never a mainstream director, and even Burton is not a mainstream filmmaker now. Compared with some of the early works with handsome Johnny Depp and his wife, "Big Eyes" is actually more of a "Big Fish" type of work. But most of the imagination is in the scene, not in the depths of the work. But on the other hand, he still maintains his own standard, which is a little gratifying.

SO. . . The legend told by the film itself is very powerful, but I personally think that there is nothing to discuss about feminism. This is not a film about feminism in itself. Nor does it express the so-called supremacy of art. Actually. . . It is a commercial operation piece.

1. The male protagonist is quite proficient in event marketing. It has to be said that he is a marketing genius. If the male protagonist uses his talents in art appreciation and sales, he will definitely become a successful art dealer. It's just that this guy seems to have climbed the wrong skill tree and created a mixed bucket man, which has to be regrettable.
2. The main point of the heroine is that she did not climb the skill tree at all, but chose only violent soldiers from the beginning. Such a choice makes the male protagonist feel like a duck to water in the parasitic relationship. Of course, it cannot be said that she finally chose after enduring for a long time. transformation.

Therefore, the most important theme of this film is the sentence "Men are afraid of entering the wrong profession, and women are afraid of marrying the wrong man" + the two sentences "Being honest and doing your duty", there is no fantasy like the old man used to, only the proper of warmth.

    Even if it is a real story adaptation, it is still Tim Burtonian fantasy. This feeling is due to the protagonist of this movie-the paintings with big eyes, who are also the children of female painters. Compared with how this film talks about how women's rights move from repression to liberation, what matters more is, who can prove that our work is ours? And survived to be stolen by plagiarism. The anxiety about signature and identity reminds me of those big sad eyes.

    I can't trust Uncle Bolton anymore. The feature film is probably an extended version of the trailer, without any exciting plots, or any exciting paragraphs. From the way the story is told, to the graphics, color, and rhythm, there is nothing well-designed. The only thing that saves the film is probably the two actors and the occasional stunning image composition. The trailer is the rhythm of the feature film, and the feature film is the rhythm of the documentary. Occasionally it feels long and sometimes the plot jumps are staggering, and the overall mediocre.

Big Eyes quotes

  • Walter Keane: You have an amazing talent. You can look at someone and capture them on canvas. You can paint people. I can only paint things. Yeah, my street scenes are... charming, but at the end of the day, they're just a collection of buildings and sidewalks.

  • 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.
