Cinephile No. 476 "Big Eyes"
"Big Eyes" reminds us that even today the work of women is being discounted. Amy Adams and Christoph Waltz ensure we understand this fact with superb acting. Tim Burton drives the point home with supreme directing. The story line for this movie may have been set in motion 50+ years ago, but it isn't a stretch to understand its modern day relevance. While we argue about wages and who makes household decisions, this movie and its powerful story reminds that women are just as talented and capable as men. In a lot of ways, even more so.
