Platoon director Oliver Stone says he criticized Barbie in haste as he was proven wrong when he saw the film in theaters.Stone has clarified his comments about Greta Gerwig’s Barbie in X (formerly Twitter), where he praised the film after acknowledging his initial criticism against it was unwarranted. The director’s previous rant about Barbie resurfaced and made its rounds in recent reports, which quoted his comments about the prospect of helming that film’s sequel. “Ryan Gosling is wasting his time if he’s doing that sh*t for money,” he said at the time. “He should be doing more serious films. He shouldn’t be a part of this infantilization of Hollywood.” Greta Gerwig directed the 2023 film, which co-starred Gosling opposite Margot Robbie.Stone, whose impressive filmography includes contemporary classics like Scarface, Wall Street, Natural Born Killers, and JFK, has only reinforced Barbie’s critical acclaim with his praises. “I found the filmmakers’ approach certainly different than what I expected,” he remarked. “I apologize for speaking ignorantly.” He also commended Gerwig for Lady Bird, which he ranked among his favorite films of 2017. That film was also met with overwhelmingly positive reviews from audiences and critics, who gave it multiple nods including Best Picture and Best Director at the 90th Academy Awards.
