 Big Eyes is based on the true story of Walter Keane (Christoph Waltz) and Margaret (Amy Adams).A film that was directed and produced by Tim Burton and the main subject is intellectual property theft, and the subjugation of women. However, the sincerity of the artist is fascinating and Alexander and Karaszewski’s Big Eyes script has a tendency to be heavy-handed at times (especially in its use of voiceover narration). Despite of the development of the story that begins in the late ‘50s, California; this reflects many social issues such as abusive marriage, repression, lies and ambition for money. Obviously this films makes it more interesting through a series of sequences that shows how Amy Adams’ Margaret life and work, before and after her marriage with Walter Keane (Christoph Waltz). She keeps quiet while her husband takes all her glory, keeping that secret for over a decade; secret about her career, talent and great sensibility for art.

Burton’s films always have fantasy but this one particularly surprises with respect and passion for a woman that reflects great talent in her art work and quality that intrigue viewers. Margaret can’t explain her paintings beyond saying that they express a part of her being in the deepest way. Definitely is a great movie season in which emotions, the absurdity and comedy are elements that makes it entertaining for 106 mins.
