Big Eyes

True art story about the theft of authorship. Tim Burton reveals the story of art fraud that occurred in the US in the 50s. It's also an insight into the ugliness of a marriage gone wrong and the powerlessness of the 50s woman to some degree.

I remember that artwork lingering around in my childhood. It was mass produced.

Soundtrack by Lana Del Ray.

The Sapphires

I finally watched this film this week. It's very good. Based on a true story about a group of Australian girls who toured Vietnam to entertain the troops. The relationships and family scenes are gold. The music is wonderful. I highly recommend this. Others do too, it won awards.

I was kind of amused (because I've never been thrilled  with how the US treats Australian film), but mostly offended at this article: The Age: Furore over 'sexist, racist' Sapphires DVD cover for US release. How can they get it so wrong?
