Speaking aboutthe inspiration behind the film, directorGreta Gerwigtold PEOPLE in a recent interview, “Of course, I’ve known who Barbie is for forever, and there’s some sort of collective memory that I wanted to tap into, something about: We invent things like dolls to explain to ourselves what it means to be human.”
