The Barbie collection that “terrified” the Mattel team was recently revealed by Margot Robbie.
The Barbie screenplay ends with a lighthearted yet provocative note. Barbie moved out of her self-discovery quest and into the real world, assuming the name Barbara Handler.
Viewers discover in the last scene that she has taken a significant next step by making her first appointment with the doctor.
“I’m here to see my gynecologist!” is Barbara’s statement, delivered by Margot Robbie with her trademark bright smile. Astute viewers, nevertheless, will remember a previous prank in which Barbie claimed that dolls were not sexually active. This callback challenges preconceptions by demonstrating Barbie’s acceptance of her gender status.
Robbie said, “I always wait for people’s reactions on the gynecologist line because it takes a second.” “Like, your brain picks up on it and comprehends after you hear it.”
Robbie disclosed the following about Mattel’s response to the last line: “There’s not one voice at the studio and one voice at Mattel.” Thus, while some say, “It’s brilliant; let’s do it,” others say, “I’m terrified.” What happens if children yell “gynecologist” and ask their parents what it means? And I thought, “Maybe the best thing that comes out of this is for little kids to ask questions and learn about gynecologists at a young age.” It is truly our gift to the world.
