Big Eyes (2014)
Big Eyes (2014), a biographical drama film directed by Tim Burton and written by Scott Alexander and Larry Karaszewski, stars Amy Adams and Christoph Waltz. In 1958, Margaret Ulbrich moves with her daughter Jane to North Beach in San Francisco, where she finds employment painting illustrations at a furniture factory. At an outdoor art show, she meets Walter Keane, who sells paintings of Parisian street scenes but earns his living through real estate. They develop a strong bond. However, Margaret is upset when her husband requests custody of Jane as part of their divorce agreement. Walter proposes to her and they get married, going on a honeymoon in Hawaii. Margaret keeps custody of Jane. Facing difficulties getting their artwork displayed in a high-end gallery, Walter persuades Enrico Banducci, the owner of a popular jazz club, to let them exhibit their paintings on one of his walls.
Frustration sets in when the designated space is located in the back by the bathrooms. A heated exchange with Banducci escalates to Walter forcefully pushing the man’s head through one of Margaret’s canvases. This incident garners attention from a local newspaper, drawing crowds to the club out of curiosity for the art that caused such a commotion. A renowned gossip columnist, Dick Nolan, expresses interest in learning more about the artwork, but instead focuses on Margaret’s paintings of young girls with big eyes. Walter decides not to correct this misunderstanding and goes along with it, neglecting to clarify that these paintings are Margaret’s creations. Later on, he reveals to Margaret how much money he made from selling her work and proposes they team up as a couple – with her staying at home painting while he takes credit and handles publicity and sales.
