This year, it looks like Big Eyes might be the film with the best chance to snag multiple awards and after looking at the trailer. Directed by Tim Burton and starring Amy Adams and Christoph 
Waltz, the film tells the true story of Walter and Margaret Keane, artists who revolutionized the art industry with their distinctive style, but it later came out that all of the art was painted by Margaret and not Walter. While Burton is known for his bold choices and flamboyant style, it would appear that he reined it in big time for this film and allowed the story and art to be the showcase of the film.
Big Eyes hits theatres on Christmas day in the USA and the Indian release will take place on 9th January, 2015.
“Big Eyes” was unveiled at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art, the same museum that recently presented a career-spanning exhibition of Burton’s work. “Big Eyes” adds something of a change of pace to that career, though it also contains lots of the things audiences have come to appreciate about the director’s work: It’s got flashes of creepiness and abundant humor, it puts outrageousness side-by-side with emotion, it’s populated by misfits looking for a place in a sometimes hostile world, and like Burton’s 1994 film “Ed Wood” (written, as was “Big Eyes,” by Scott Alexander and Larry Karaszewski) it tells a true story that sometimes seems too weird to have actually happened.
B4U Movies is geared up to bring in the New Year with some great Hollywood films which is assured to keep the theatre going audience engaged.
The biographical film examines how, during the 1950s and ’60s, Margaret (played by Amy Adams) and her husband Walter (Christoph Waltz) made a bundle selling artwork of figures with enormous doe eyes with Walter taking the credit for his wife’s work, based on the idea that her paintings wouldn’t sell as well otherwise. However, when the couple eventually decided to get divorced, it led to a legal battle over who was actually responsible for creating the “Big Eyes” portraits.
