Thank you for a great interview. The feelings that America Ferrera expressed helped me understand the character even more, and her portrayal was outstanding. Ryan Gosling, oh gosh, so genuinely fits, and his continued performances reflect the ability of an auteur
Ryan Gosling made this movie. Ken was the star in the end, not Barbie. (Sorry Margot. Love you, and Barbie was so perfect, but Ken stole the show 😆) The Kens dance is it for me. I could watch that all day long. So many levels of brilliant humour and a really fun dance number. Kudos to Greta for casting this awesome and down to earth actor. I'm still trying to work out why Ryan hasn't won an Oscar to date. He's been in some amazing films.
This was an amazing conversation. I really appreciate the BFI and the host Anna for giving me the opportunity to ask Ryan my question about the Ryan gosling literally me trilogy!!! Ryan answered it really well!
I was lucky enough to be there in the 3rd row and it was a really great talk. A very special event once again at the BFI, one of my favourite places. And the questions from Anna Smith @annasmithjourno were very good and kept the conversation going in a very entertaining way. I hope in the future the BFI get Margot Robbie for a talk. She was due to be at this one but wasn’t able to on this occasion.
When she was talking about the Gloria speech it reminded me of my experience. I was 14 when Barbie came out and I was never really interested in dolls. I played football and stuff. In Jr-Hi, I would go after school and run jumpers with my dad at the telephone co. I took our phone apart and couldn't get it to work again. I had a few semesters of college and came home to work at the telephone co and I wanted to run jumpers, but I could be a clerk or an operator. I finished all the tests that they didn't think I would. And we were paid $30-$50 less a week. I was told that was because someday the guys would get married and have to support a family and I would just get married, quit and have kids. I was bored everyday for 7 years in accounting before they finally decided we could bid on the jobs that men had. Then all of a sudden because I was making a lot more than most of the guys I knew, especially at church, and I climbed 14ft ladders and fix electronic equipment then I must be a lesbian. Girls were supposed to be teachers, secretaries or nurses. By the way, even if a guy never married he still got paid more. I actually met my husband in telephone co. school in Dallas, I was from Houston and he from Oklahoma City. We had the same job, the same pay and the same religion (we don't go anymore). We met on Jun 1 and married on Oct 14. He was the McGyver of Oklahoma City and 2 of his bosses said that if he moved to Houston they would kill me. I am 4 years old, had more seniority than he did, but I wanted to be a mother, so I quit. We now like in Portland, OR with our daughter and grandkids. We have been married 47 years and I am such a Gosling fan and wish he were the brother my daughter never had. She is 2 years older than him.
From 50s motivational research test groups to 70s feminist encounter groups and back into 2010s diversity marketing in the age of "progressive neoliberalism." Beach Ken bears the brunt in this film of post-Trump era ( working-class ) "deplorables" that liberals use as scapegoats to justify their New Democrat centrism. Warmed over Cold War liberalism. An easy to love film for all of the wrong reasons in a world of authoritarianism, war, class inequality and ecological doomsday. If that is the merit of the film, then someone should attempt to express that, which, to a small extent, the Barbenheimer meme succeeded in doing. Liberals should celebrate AFTER they have succeeded in a real measure of progress beyond DEI-mandated business models. 🥸
Ryan talking about him having to connect with the childhood version of himself in order to be Ken is the sweetest thing ever.

And the questions from
Anna Smith

ken is perfect!!!!!
Oh, the privilege of saying “Hi, Ken!” in a room with Ryan Gosling. Jealous of the audience honestly.
It was difficult to understand the conversation without the context of the clips which were cut for copyright 😨
Interesting and great interview! Also I'm the 100th like on this vid lol! But anyway, I love the film so much!! 👏👏👏👏👏

Did they cut out the guy who asked if Ryan/America could spill the beans on whether Barbie's getting a sequel?
