110.28 -> that out I think that's part of what
112.2 -> made this project exciting and part of
114.36 -> the reason that we wanted to make a
115.92 -> Bobby movie to begin with was
118.86 -> a she's so well known she's so it's such
122.1 -> a globally recognized name but more than
124.92 -> that I I was both scared of and excited
128.28 -> by the idea that people were going to
129.959 -> come into this movie already feeling
132.78 -> very strongly about the protagonist were
135.239 -> you immersed in Barbie world at all

144.959 -> and dressing them up you know they have
147.54 -> all have names that aren't Barbie they
149.879 -> all have very complicated
152.18 -> backstories it's very involved Barbie
155.16 -> with its vibrant colors offers a big
157.86 -> message challenging stereotypes all part
161.22 -> of the vision for oscar-nominated
162.9 -> director Greta Gerwig were you reluctant
165.36 -> at all given the roles that you've
166.98 -> played over the years I admire Greta and
169.68 -> Margo so much that it was really just an
172.86 -> opportunity to work with them was was
174.78 -> too good
176.099 -> I if I was reluctant it was I doubted
178.86 -> Mike energy
180.68 -> but Canada had to trust that they this
186.06 -> is that they would guide me there's a
189.599 -> real story here about men and women in
192.54 -> your place in power was that important
194.76 -> to you in terms of making this movie I
198 -> that's exactly why I wanted Greta to do
200.099 -> this movie I think in a lot of other
201.54 -> hands this a Barbie movie would remain
204.36 -> surface level but I knew Greta was going
207.18 -> to have a lot to say and I knew she was
208.98 -> going to kind of Trojan Horse a lot of
210.78 -> big issues within a very fun world
213.9 -> there's a lot of talk in the movie about
215.819 -> the patriarchy that word is used a lot
218.04 -> in the film The Supreme Court is all
220.68 -> women there's a woman president turn to
222.959 -> the Barbie next to you tell her how much
224.34 -> you love her compliment her reporter

227.519 -> want how come you're so amazing no
229.86 -> comment I mean I love seeing the Barbies
232.5 -> but it's also a a way to look at
235.2 -> something Through The Eyes of the Kens
237.18 -> where you think oh I see what they've
240.06 -> done there yeah it's not so great when
242.34 -> you're the accessory with its campy
244.56 -> humor the film budgeted at about 100
246.959 -> million dollars goes all out while also
250.14 -> reflecting the diversity Mattel has
252.12 -> incorporated in its Dawn line in recent
254.34 -> years you play president Barbie what did
257.76 -> you make think of that and was it
259.019 -> significant to you that this film was
261.299 -> sort of one that was all about
262.44 -> inclusivity and it's not the classic
264.3 -> stereotype just The Stereotype of Barbie
266.699 -> the only hesitation was just like oh
268.74 -> where do I fit in this in this
270.24 -> particular Barbie world and how like
271.68 -> what will the Barbie world look like
273.12 -> because you know no one wants to be kind

277.38 -> onto that that said that was part of the
279.9 -> beauty was that there was just
282 -> so much of so much representation there

310.979 -> the splits I have a funky haircut and I
312.6 -> smell like basement but America Ferreira
314.639 -> has perhaps the most memorable scene as
