It can be assumed that the majority of people have seen Greta Gerwig's film "Barbie" since its release last summer. In the film's final moments, lead character Barbie, portrayed by Margot Robbie, is seen wearing a brown blazer, blue jeans, and Birkenstocks.
This outfit symbolizes Barbie's transformation from a perfect doll to a woman, representing a stark contrast to the pink gowns and cowboy hats seen throughout the rest of the movie. Barbie enters an office dressed like someone from the real world, radiating excitement. However, instead of being there for a job interview, she surprises the receptionist with her last line in the film, saying, "I'm here to see my gynecologist.
" While this statement startles some executives, Robbie revealed that her favorite dialogue line is actually the last six words of the film.
As a producer, she faced many challenges and had to navigate unease and nervousness from the studio and other companies involved in the Barbie project. However, the final line in the film was something she felt strongly about and was willing to stand her ground on. Robbie believes that this punch line may open the door for candid discussions about gynecology, an important topic for younger viewers.
Despite concerns about the line potentially raising too many questions for younger audiences, Robbie believes that it could ultimately save lives by promoting awareness. With an impressive revenue of $1.44 billion and breaking several records, "Barbie" officially became the highest-grossing film of the previous year. Gerwig, the film's director, wanted the movie to end on an emotional note, using a clever farewell joke as Barbie's last line. Overall, "Barbie" has received phenomenal reviews and exceeded expectations at the box office, becoming the biggest opening weekend for a non-franchise film.
Robbie's portrayal of the title character alongside Ryan Gosling's Ken explores Barbie's journey from Barbieland to discovering the realities of the real world.
