Ella creó. Él lo vendió. Y lo compraron.
'Big Eyes' está basada en el caso real de Margaret y Walter Keane. La historia gira alrededor del enorme éxito, durante los años 50 y 60 del siglo pasado, de las reproducciones de los cuadros de niños con grandes ojos, creados por ella pero firmados en su momento por su marido, Walter, supuestamente porque él tenía una gran facilidad para el marketing, consiguiendo así ampliar la popularidad de la obra de su esposa.
"Big Eyes," a 2014 biographical drama directed by Tim Burton, delves into the captivating true story of artist Margaret Keane and her tumultuous relationship with her husband, Walter Keane. Produced by The Weinstein Company and Silverwood Films, the film is set in the vibrant backdrop of 1950s and 1960s America, where Margaret's distinctive paintings of wide-eyed children catapult her to fame—albeit under her husband's false claim of authorship. The film masterfully captures the essence of Margaret's struggle for recognition and the societal constraints placed on women during that era, making it a poignant exploration of identity and artistic integrity. Amy Adams delivers a compelling performance as Margaret Keane, embodying the artist's quiet strength and internal conflict with remarkable nuance. Christoph Waltz, portraying the charismatic yet deceitful Walter Keane, adds a layer of complexity to the narrative, showcasing the manipulative dynamics at play.

The supporting cast, including Krysten Ritter and Jason Schwartzman, further enriches the storytelling, providing a well-rounded depiction of the era's cultural milieu. Tim Burton's direction brings a unique visual flair to "Big Eyes," with his signature style subtly woven into the film's aesthetic. The use of color and composition pays homage to Margaret Keane's artwork, creating a visually engaging experience that complements the narrative. The film's score, composed by Danny Elfman, adds an emotional depth that enhances the storytelling, making "Big Eyes" a sensory delight. Burton's ability to balance the film's dramatic elements with moments of levity ensures that the audience remains engaged throughout the journey. "Big Eyes" not only sheds light on a lesser-known chapter of art history but also serves as a testament to the resilience of the human spirit. Margaret Keane's eventual triumph over her husband's deceit underscores the importance of standing up for one's truth, making the film a powerful narrative about empowerment and the pursuit of justice. Through its compelling performances, striking visuals, and heartfelt storytelling, "Big Eyes" leaves a lasting impression, reminding viewers of the enduring impact of art and the courage it takes to claim ownership of one's creations.
