The goofy, deadpan performances of Barbie obviously work on screen, however what have been they prefer to movie? Properly, a brand new video has surfaced due to Atlantic Data answering that query and extra. It’s a full music video for the film’s standout chart-topping bop “I’m Simply Ken” by Ryan Gosling, however it’s crammed with behind-the-scenes footage.
So that you get to see Gosling laughing at his absurdity off-camera. You get to see co-writer and director Greta Gerwig geeking out at every thing that’s happening. Manufacturing assistants throwing tennis balls, actors singing backup vocals, choreography rehearsals and, sure, freaking Slash from Weapons N’ Roses. Test it out:
Nobody may’ve predicted Barbie would’ve been the hit that it was, so it’s straightforward to look again at footage from the making of a film that’s now grossed over a billion {dollars} and go “After all it’s successful, look how a lot enjoyable everyone seems to be having.” And but? We nonetheless need to say it. After all Barbie was successful! Have a look at all of the enjoyable everyone seems to be having!
This video is simply a superb illustration of how your entire manufacturing purchased into Gerwig’s imaginative and prescient for the film. Every part on this video screams “production worth” and “passion”—a number of which is from Gosling, who clearly needed to have a humorousness about Ken, particularly with this music.
I feel my favourite half although is seeing all of the Kens within the recording sales space, crooning their harmonies, after which the short shot of Gerwig on a Zoom name, visibly in shock on the reality she’s being paid to do that. It’s simply excellent.
Barbie is now in theaters and, should you haven’t, you must completely see it. Maybe for $4 later this week.
