Margot Robbie Champions Barbie's Final Line Amid Studio Debates and Builds LuckyChap's Film Legacy

Margot Robbie, who is producing and starring in the upcoming 'Barbie' film, was determined to keep the movie's final line, "I’m here to see my gynecologist," despite concerns it might provoke questions from young viewers. She believes the line's importance in educating girls about reproductive health justifies any potential controversy. The film, directed by Greta Gerwig and also starring Ryan Gosling as Ken, is described as a hero's journey with a blend of silliness, surrealism, and sentimentality. It has become Warner Bros.' highest-grossing domestic release and the largest opening for a female director, with Gerwig becoming the only woman to solo-direct a billion-dollar movie. The production focused on practical effects and a vibrant pink aesthetic, aiming to evoke a sense of gleeful anarchy and childhood nostalgia.
