The Eyes of Tammy Faye / int_1779f10e	type	"Well Done, Son" Guy
The Eyes of Tammy Faye / int_1779f10e	comment	"Well Done, Daughter!" Girl: Tammy is frustrated and haunted by her mother's lack of approval of her activities, as Rachel believes making money from faith is immoral and is disturbed by the headlines of Jim's embezzling. At one point, Tammy outright demands her mother say she's proud of her, but Rachel instead presses her on the headlines, which Tammy casually dismisses as fake. After her mother's death, her stepfather presents her with the fur coat that she bought for her, saying that she hid it so that the IRS couldn't take it, implying that for all her complaining, she actually was proud of her, deep down.

The Eyes of Tammy Faye / int_396e1c2a	comment	Face Death with Dignity: Ultimately subverted. Steve Pieters, the gay minister with AIDS, is shown to be very accepting and prepared for what he believes is his impending death. This was a reasonable assumption at the time the interview takes place, but the epilogue showed that as of the film's release he is still alive and doing well.

However, the show's finances come under fire especially because the Bakkers' lifestyle is extremely lavish. Jim is eventually accused of and arrested for fraud.

The Eyes of Tammy Faye / int_3e8d9cd3	comment	Historical Hero Upgrade: Some critics have taken issue with its treatment of Tammy Faye as a well-meaning naïf who turned a blind eye to her ministry's frauds; YMMV on the truth of that. Jim Bakker also comes off more sympathetic in the movie, presented as a man repentant after being humbled by prison, than he would in real life, where he has become an apocalyptic preacher promoting conspiracy theories.

At the very least, it's very infrequent—at one point, she reminds him "it's been two months", and as Tammy tells her mother, when it does happen, it's more out of obligation than love and lacks true intimacy—she almost weeps at the tenderness her friend Gary shows her when he makes advances to her.

The Eyes of Tammy Faye / int_d52d28b6	comment	Hypocrite: After the birth of their son, Jim declares that he suspects "something depraved is going on here", regarding Gary and Tammy's tryst. Pretty high and mighty for a guy who's likely been unfaithful himself, and with another man at that. But Tammy's the one who's forcibly separated from her lover and later has to publicly humiliate herself by confessing on television (though her remorseful attitude luckily makes people support rather than condemn her). He also blames her indiscretion as the reason for his, even though the very reason it happened was because of his neglect of her.

(He's also portrayed by Andrew Garfield, who has a bit of a gay following.) The film itself doesn't take a firm stance on it, instead leaving it up to interpretation.
