After weeks of high-budget lurid pink publicity, it’s easy to forget that Barbie director Greta Gerwig is the indie writer and producer behind Frances Ha, Little Women and Lady Bird. Now, Gerwig has revealed the films that inspired the candy coloured sensation. One of the most prominent influences is The Wizard of Oz, the 1939 Judy Garland classic which a US Library of Congress exhibition described as “America's greatest and best-loved home-grown fairytale”. Gerwig said during her interview with Letterboxd it is an “extraordinary, beloved” movie. “It does something which I wanted to emulate which is these incredible sound stages and these painted skies, and this sense of authentically artificial, which I think is very beautiful and emotional.

Greta Gerwig’s Official Barbie Watchlist www.youtube.com The film centres around two young lovers in the French city of Cherbourg, separated by war. It is entirely sung-through, similar to a musical or an opera. Gerwig said she “loved the use of colour” in the film. “The surrealness of the colour was a big part of it”, she added, saying that Barbie’s use of “five different shades of pink or red in one shot and not have it overwhelm anything” was influenced by the film. Other films on the list of influences include Saturday Night Fever, The Truman Show and The Godfather (yep, you read that right). Of Saturday Night Fever, she said: “I always had a sense of wanting this to be a movie with an amazing soundtrack. “Saturday Night Fever obviously has this incredible soundtrack by The Bee Gees. I had watched a documentary about them and was so touched by The Bee Gees and Barbie seemed so disco to me. Actually in her heart. Because Barbie and disco are a little bit dorky, in the best way. “It had that quality and Saturday Night Fever was a kind of movie that was driven by music but was not a musical.” The whole list is as follows: The Wizard of Oz The Umbrellas of Cherbourg Saturday Night Fever The Bee Gees: How Can You Mend a Broken Heart The Godfather Grease 2001: A Space Odyssey The Truman Show The Young Girls of Rochefort Oklahoma!

Bad Bunny is among the highest-paid entertainers in the world

Joe Biden critics are accusing the president of 'groping' actor Eva Longoria during an appearance at the White House to promote her new movie Flamin' Hot. 48-year-old Longoria pitched up at the most famous building for a screening of her directorial debut which is about the true story of the Mexican caretaker that invented the beloved snack Cheetos. According to Biden, it was the first time that a film had been shown at the White House that had focused on Hispanic characters. Biden and Longoria have been friends for many years with the president joking that when they first met: "She was 17, I was 40." Sign up to our free Indy100 weekly newsletter After Longoria had introduced the film the pair briefly embraced and right-wingers have zoned in on a tiny moment which they think Biden overstepped the mark. The president very momentarily placed his hands on Longoria's side after they had hugged before she moved his hands down as they continued to talk. This was enough for conservatives to criticise Biden and ask Longoria to address the incident. However, as it has been pointed out the real-time clip of the moment shows nothing untoward at all from Biden and further highlights some of the hypocrisy from Trump supporters. Elsewhere, Biden caused more confusion after he signed off a speech in Connecticut by saying 'God Save the Queen' despite the monarch having passed away in September.

"Flamin' Hot," a crowd-pleasing, chips-to-riches story, marks Eva Longoria's directorial debut with a movie inspired by the feel-good tale of a Frito-Lay janitor who rose into the executive ranks and highlighted an underserved community.

Normally, the weeks heading up to Friday’s release of the DC film “Blue Beetle” would be a triumphant, celebratory time for its filmmakers and Latino-led cast
