Curiosidades
Margaret Keane: Reading a book on a park bench behind Margaret and Walter, when they paint in front of the San Francisco Palace of Fine Arts. The end-credit photo of her sitting with Amy Adams was taken when this scene was filmed.

Pifias
"Tomorrow Forever," the UNICEF painting Margaret Keane painted for the 1964 Worlds Fair, was never actually mounted in the Hall of Education. Robert Moses, who had control over everything that was included in the fair, hated it. Once New York Times critic John Canaday trashed it after seeing a photograph of it, Moses had it thrown into the garbage.

Citas
Ruben: What's that with the big crazy eyes?
Walter Keane: Oh. Well, I believe that you can see things in the eyes. The eyes are the window to the soul.

How manipulative can a person be?

I had never heard of Margaret Keane or her paintings before "Big Eyes" got released, making the story all the more forceful. My interpretation of Keane's story is that she was afraid to stand up for herself. Walter manipulated her into accepting his shenanigans.

Amy Adams puts on a really good performance as Margaret. Much like her roles in "Junebug", "Enchanted" and "Doubt", her character's idealism collapses when faced with reality. Christoph Waltz turns Walter into a mixture of smooth and terrifying, but a real creep more than anything.

This is a very different turn for Tim Burton. Far from his homages to horror flicks and swipes at suburban America, he takes a serious approach to the subject matter. I recommend the movie. Whether you know of the story or not, you're sure to be impressed with the movie. Margaret's paintings might not appeal to you - they don't appeal to me - it's important to know what she went through, and the movie does a good job looking at that.
