In an interview, Greta Gerwig talked about her Hollywood career. Recalling that it was actually his frenemyChristopher Nolanwho inspired her to find her own sense of movie making, Gerwig compared small-time movies and the big-budget magnum opuses. While talking about her future of making big-budget movies, Greta Gerwig gave the example of Christopher Nolan’sThe Dark Knight Trilogywhich was a big-budget franchise but also Nolan’sThe Prestigewhich wasn’t that budget-heavy movie and yet, left people talking about it for years.
“I think probably every director has a fantasy baseball league in their head of what movies they want to make. And there’s some movies I’d like to make that require a big canvas. At the same time, I’ve seen so many directors move between bigger movies and smaller movies.”
The director further continued,
“Chloé Zhao doing Nomadland and making Eternals. Or Steven Soderbergh, or even my weekend buddy Chris Nolan. He made the Dark Knight trilogy — and they’re wonderful — and then made The Prestige, which is not a tiny movie, but it is also not the same thing. I want to play in lots of different worlds. That’s the goal.“
With the upcoming release ofBarbie,director Greta Gerwig talked about the philosophy involved in the movie. Talking about the topics of feminism and some real-life examples, Gerwig revealed that people would notice Ryan Gosling while they were shooting the movie while Margot Robbie was only getting peculiar looks from the people.

During the run of the movie, a heavy emphasis on Barbie and not Ken has been observed. Since the film is indeed based on Barbie, it is only natural that Margot Robbie should have received attention for her role in the movie. Well, it wasn’t the case so asGreta Gerwigrevealed that people were actually noticing Ryan Gosling more while Margot Robbie received awkward glances and stares from the people while shooting the movie.
“When we were actually shooting on Venice Beach, with Margot and Ryan in neon rollerblading outfits, it was fascinating because it was actually happening in front of us. People would go by Ryan, high-five him, and say, “Awesome, Ryan, you look great!” And they wouldn’t actually say anything to Margot.”
She further continued,
“They’d just look at her. It was just surreal. In that moment, she did feel self-conscious. And as the director, I wanted to protect her. But I also knew that the scene we were shooting had to be the scene where she felt exposed. And she was exposed, both as a celebrity and as a lady.”
With her inspiration Christopher Nolan releasingOppenheimeron the same day asBarbie,both movies are set for a release date of 21st July in theaters across the U.S.
