00:00 Barbie director Greta Gerwig says Jokoi wasn't entirely wrong when he said Barbie is a plastic
00:05 doll with breasts. Gerwig is referring to Jokoi's jokes during the Golden Globes last January 8.
00:11 During the awards show, Jokoi said, "The key moment in Barbie is when she goes from perfect
00:16 beauty to bad breath, cellulite, and flat feet, or what casting directors call character actor."
00:21 He also said Barbie was about, quote, "a plastic doll with big boobies."
00:26 Jokoi was heavily criticized for his supposed sexist remarks on the film.
00:30 In a BBC Radio 4 interview, Gerwig says Barbie, quote, "by her very construction has no character,
00:36 no story. She's there to be projected upon." She adds, "Barbie was the first doll that was
00:41 mass-produced with breasts, so he was right on." Barbie received numerous awards during
00:45 the 2024 Golden Globes, including Best Director for Gerwig.
