A natural performer onstage (and later, on camera), she brings maternal warmth, wholesome sex appeal and relentless good cheer to their itinerant ministry. This optimism, and the worldly ambition that comes with it, appeal to Tammy. Jim preaches a version of the prosperity gospel, insisting to his flock that God wants them to be rich. When she meets Jim Bakker ( Andrew Garfield) at Bible college, it seems like a providential match. We start out in Eisenhower-era Minnesota, where Tammy Faye (Jessica Chastain) grows up in the shadow of a pious, unsmiling mother (Cherry Jones).

вЂњThe Eyes of Tammy Faye,вЂќ directed by Michael Showalter from a script by Abe Sylvia, tells this story dutifully, following the familiar showbiz biopic sequence of rise, ruin and redemption.

His wife (who had divorced him a few years later) was razzed by talk-show hosts and standup comedians across the land for her gaudy makeup, her big hair and her full-throated singing voice. In 1989, Jim Bakker was convicted of fraud and sentenced to federal prison. Upbeat evangelists with the upper Midwest in their voices, they helped expand Christian broadcasting from a niche into an empire via their PTL satellite network.Д®ven if you missed them in their prime, you couldnвЂ™t avoid the spectacle of their downfall - an end-of-the-80s tabloid scandal involving adultery, hypocrisy and financial shenanigans. If you were watching television in America in the 1970s and вЂ™80s - the old three-network days that now seem as distant as the horse-and-buggy era - you could hardly miss Jim and Tammy Faye Bakker. You know, weвЂ™re all-вЂќ вЂњThat central conflict that is sort of ignited in this scene between her and Jerry Falwell ends up being the central theme of Tammy FayeвЂ™s arc throughout the entire film.вЂќ I just think of them as other human beings that I love. And if she is, sheвЂ™s certainly not letting on.вЂќ вЂњYou know, I donвЂ™t think of them as homosexuals. I made a pledge to continue to expose the sins in this country.вЂќ вЂњI think Tammy doesnвЂ™t pick up on some of the tension that sheвЂ™s creating. And so we are focusing in on this brewing rivalry of ideologies between these two characters.вЂќ вЂњGod is my witness. ItвЂ™s time for a reversal of these trends and the only hopes in saving America.вЂќ вЂњGet back to the good old days.вЂќ вЂњWell, I love our country, but America is for them too.вЂќ вЂњWell-вЂќ вЂњOne of the things in this scene thatвЂ™s creating a lot of tension is that Jerry Falwell, Vincent DвЂ™Onofrio, is sort of the alpha dog in this group of people. Everything that sheвЂ™s doing is disrupting this kind of insular boys club thing that theyвЂ™re all having with each other.вЂќ вЂњNow, God has a voice in this fight.вЂќ вЂњAmen.вЂќ вЂњMm-hmm.вЂќ вЂњMm? WhatвЂ™s he fighting?вЂќ вЂњLiberal agenda. Meanwhile, Tammy is really behaving like a bull in a china shop, kind of overcompensating for the awkwardness by grabbing a chair, and the sound of the chair is very loud. A lot of it, in terms of just setting the scene, is to try to throw as many looks around the table as possible of how uncomfortable it makes them feel just to have a woman wanting to sit down at the table with them.

I wanted to show the extent to which Tammy is trying to operate and be seen and heard in a manвЂ™s world.вЂќ вЂњAs you were saying, Jerry. And Tammy Faye is going to crash the party. In this scene, Jim Bakker is excited to be sitting at a table with all of these BMOCs and wanting to make a good impression. вЂњMy name is Michael Showalter, and IвЂ™m the director of вЂњThe Eyes of Tammy Faye.вЂќ So in this scene, our two main characters- Tammy Faye Bakker and Jim Bakker, played by Jessica Chastain and Andrew Garfield- are attending a barbecue hosted by Pat Robertson, which is also being attended by a whoвЂ™s who of the big names in the evangelical community. Transcript вЂThe Eyes of Tammy FayeвЂ™ | Anatomy of a Scene The director Michael Showalter narrates a scene from his film featuring Jessica Chastain and Andrew Garfield.
