The Oscar-nominated 'Barbie' movie, co-written by Greta Gerwig and Noah Baumbach, has become a significant cultural phenomenon, generating a chart-topping $1.4 billion at global box offices in 2023 and competing for best picture at the Oscars. Actor Simu Liu, who played one of the Kens, found the film's commentary on patriarchy impactful.
