Is there a significance to Maria's winking eye?


???

You are probably referring to the wink after the android was given instructions from Rotwang. I just thought it was a "Roger that Sarge" to her new creator. The Machine "Man" was just transformed, malleable, got the orders from the mad scientist and in her halting infancy was simply acknowledging her task at hand. I may be wrong but that' what I thought.

I took it as an easy way to distinguish the two and a sign that something was wrong with her, she was evil.

Yep, pretty much that too.
