Greta Gerwig celebrates the deft work that Margot Robbie put in while filming the Barbie movie, crafting a complicated character with a strong arc.
Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT Margot Robbie's performance in Barbie has been broken down by director Greta Gerwig, who also co-wrote the movie. The smash hit Barbie stars Robbie as the titular iconic doll, who travels to the real world when she discovers that her life in Barbie Land is no longer as perfect as she originally thought.
I think about the work Margot did as an actor, because really at the beginning of the movie, she doesn’t have any desires [or] interior life at all. Her interior life is completely continuous with her exterior life. There’s no distinction, really, between her and her environment. That’s a really hard thing to figure out how to do as an actor. She’s not vapid, she’s not stupid, but she’s not alive… She’s got to activate it somehow and act it.
The truth is, I really only understand it by how she did it. Her realizing it in herself and us working on it together was how… If she hadn't done it, I don't think I would have understood it in quite the same way. She unlocked it and I felt like we sort of unlocked it together, but it was it was not obvious how to do it. And it's deceptive. It's almost deceptively simple, the way she's gone about it, because it was a tricky one.
