1905 Movie Network News Recently, foreign media reported that Oliver Stone said that Ryan Gosling's filming of "Barbie" was a waste of time and contributed to the infantilization of Hollywood. The report triggered heated discussions among netizens. On January 23, Oliver Stone himself issued an article criticizing the media for taking his remarks out of context before the film was released.
I am very disappointed to see that my respected Deadline has published sensational and out-of-context remarks that I made a few weeks before the release of Barbie. I was busy promoting my documentary in Europe at the time and knew almost nothing about the project other than the title Barbie.
In the article, Oliver Stone also apologized for his ignorance. In July last year, I watched "Barbie" in a theater and admired its originality and theme. The way it was made must be different from what I expected, and I apologize for my ignorance. Greta Gerwig's 2017 film Lady Bird was one of my favorite movies of the year. The box office performance of Barbie is a welcome morale boost for our industry. I wish Greta and the team the best of luck at the Oscars.
