While the movie is definitely called Barbie , it’s Ken who unexpectedly provides its emotional center. RyanGosling and GretaGerwig opened up to The Times’ IndieFocus about how Ken became the subversive center of ‘Barbie.’
A through line in his work is that, for all of his brooding intensity, there’s often a lightness underneath.
“I do remember everyone, including Noah, was like, ‘What is this dream ballet you want?’ ” Gerwig says. “And I was like, It’s going to be great. I just felt like it was just right there. It was exactly what the moment wanted to be.”Times entertainment staffers circled these 15 summer movies on their calendars. So should you.
Gosling also gives an uproariously straight-faced performance of the 1997 Matchbox 20 song “Push,” getting to the emotional manipulation underneath the song’s lyrics — including “I want to take you for granted” — while strumming a guitar by a campfire as he and the other Kens are driven to jealousy by Barbie and her friends.
“There was such a synergy between what I was watching happening in my own house and then also the brilliance in the way that Greta was using these characters to do something similar,” Gosling says. “I walked into my backyard and I saw Ken laying face down in the mud next to a squished lemon. And I thought, she’s right. This story does have to be told.
“It was kind of terrifying because when we were shooting, it was totally euphoric — such an act of anarchic, gleeful imagination,” she adds. “But then it was also these big choices.we were doing was bananas. And then also the core of it was this heady thing, but it was also a confection. But then I thought, ‘Well, they’re so great and all of this is so great and I’m enjoying it.
