The challenge, Robbie explained, was to find a writer who could embrace the subject in its complexity."She's very intelligent," Robbie said. "And that's exactly what we needed for Barbie, someone who would be able to honour the legacy and also have a culturally relevant conversation with where we are today.""Number one that there wasn't a story," she said.
"We have to be up-front and let you know that we're not going to shy away from the problematic parts of this," Robbie said. "Looking at all the thorniness and stepping into what is the negotiation of what women need to be, and how to give them something other than a tightrope to walk on, is how it feels feminist to me."In the movie, Barbie's perfect pink world of high fashion and endless parties is disrupted when she suddenly finds herself having dark thoughts about death. She finds cellulite on her perfect legs and her famous feet suddenly become flat.
