Greta Gerwig Explains The Film’s Last Line, Calls It Emotional
The Margot Robbie starrer ended with Barbie saying, “I’m here to see my gynecologist.” In an interview with USA Today, talking about the film’s final line, Greta revealed that she wanted a “mic drop” ending for the film.
She says, “With this film, it was important for me that everything operated on at least two levels. I knew I wanted to end on a mic drop kind of joke, but I also find it very emotional. When I was a teenage girl, I remember growing up and being embarrassed about my body, and just feeling ashamed in a way that I couldn’t even describe. It felt like everything had to be hidden.”
She further added, “And then to see Margot as Barbie, with this big old smile on her face, saying what she says at the end with such happiness and joy. I was like – if I can give girls that feeling of, ‘Barbie does it, too’ – that’s both funny and emotional. There are so many things like that throughout the movie. It was always about looking for the levity and the heart.”
