‘Barbie’ Ending Explained: Margot Robbie’s Plastic Protagonist Finds Home
Editor’s Note: The following contains spoilers for Barbie.The journey that is Greta Gerwig’s Barbie is one that is defined by its influences. Everything from the enduring The Truman Show to Jacques Tati’s magnificent PlayTime is interwoven into a world of plastic that is often quite fantastic. Most interestingly, the story then becomes about a character forging her own identity.
As a brief background, Barbie is a film that does follow the general conventions one would expect from the types of films where the journey is a literal and emotional one. At the same time, it also injects some unexpected subversions that attempt to poke fun at the nature of it being a film that is being produced by Mattel that will inevitably benefit from its success.
To assist her in this decision, Handler presents what are essentially glimpses of what it means to be alive. We and Barbie see young girls growing up in home video-esque memories, creating an emotionally reflective sequence that hammers home what it is that Greta had been getting at all along. Beyond the jokes and the light satirizing of the nature of the movie itself, the filmmaker was also building towards a more heartfelt realization.
Barbie Goes Where She Has Never Gone Before After she leaves behind the world of Barbieland to be reborn into our own, a now Birkenstock-wearing Barbara reunites with Gloria and Sasha who drop her off at the gynecologist. It is this closing line on which the film ends, making it seem like it could be a throwaway gag just to send audiences out into the world chuckling, but it also brings with it one final needle at Mattel.
