she does not need to be introduced as 'Barbie's' Greta Gerwig...she has an amazing career and has directed some great films. this is 73 questions with Greta Gerwig.

[@DL3MMA]

Also this video was released 3 years ago. I'm pretty sure she wasn't known for Barbie back then either. So they Deliberately changed the title recently to get more views.

[@Ella-gb7no]

exactly

[@FilmDebatingens]

Preeeacccch

[@Lavender1985]

Amen!

[@thecutteralicia]

Exactly!

[@emilymildner]

I mumble, stutter, and take an uncomfortable amount of time to think when answering questions just as Greta does. I often feel unsure of myself because of it, but knowing that a person as sharp and wise as Greta does the same is so comforting! I think it’s because I’m the type that values thoughtfully strung words, which means I’m always trying to find the perfect way to put things. My brain’s constant revising makes for nervous and disjointed conversation, so it’s both a blessing and a curse! Anyone else?

[@BeautifulWords5]

Emily MILDNER yes yes yes!

[@abrilmolina5012]

Yeeeeeeeeeeees

[@uzzymuzzy4312]

[@crazychailady4762]

And then the person who interviews him needs to be interviewed as the guy who interviewed the 73 questions guy and then an interview with the guy who interviewed the guy who interviewed the 73 questions guy and I am tired now.

Well she is a writer....

[@melanindripping1740]

Dont kill me!!!! but this is the most natural unrehearsed interview .... i love all your interviews i enjoy watching them. But this one seem so natural, like she was literally thinking of her answers.... the other people seem to know the answer right away which looks so staged. EDIT: WOAHHHHH!!!! MY VERY FIRST 1K IN 5 HOURS THANKS GUYS❤❤❤❤.

I agree!!💛

[@salvadorruiz3692]

If Greta Gerwig did her version of Joan of Arc, it would be the greatest film of any decade.

@@BrettAllbritton It is! Do whatever it takes to have her see it. Tag her, tweet her and all actresses and actors she worked with.

[@wendyl0v3]

I love how she stutters thinking about her answers . This is one of my fave 73 questions interviews ever because you can tell it’s so genuine.

[@carolinekim6648]

Wendyl0v3 you took the words out of my mouth. Real humans are awkward, real humans take their time, take pause, stumble, stutter when trying to carefully articulate their words, especially when asked a thoughtful question because real life is off script. I found her awkwardness to be absolutely endearing and genuine

[@cameronleehorace]

It seems this is the only one that is natural and it's great for it. The others seem very staged.

[@phoebexxlouise]

@@cameronleehorace I think everyone gets sent the questions ahead of time so they can formulate their answers. I'm sure they did this for Greta too but she forgot her answers

[@shravastimisra6793]

@@carolinekim6648 i thought maybe she genuinely has a stutter?

[@uptown3636]

Ms Gerwig seems like she still has the personality of a young, ambitious girl who someday hopes to make it. She hasn't been hardened by success. So charming.

[@cqdunham]

She seems like the type of person who would rather have an engaging conversation than answer a series of questions on camera.

[@ollieols2064]

As a 16 year old girl who aspires to be a filmmaker, she is a huge inspiration to me❤️

[@elleyeah746]

[@encaucen222]

the fact that he didin't ask a single question as she's the "wife of", such a great decision

[@HD_Simplicityy]

Because asking about her husband is wrong.

[@Team3stripes]

because she didn't need to

[@thetramp123]

I don't think they're married

I love how she unapologetically references things in her life that she loves or loved as a kid, cereal, Mac and cheese, her favorite dress because it was the color of California poppies…. So many time people try to say things that they think are cool or will make them seem more sophisticated. The things she references are so real and so sweet and true. Also shout out to the fab 40s! Loved this interview

[@e50e1]

"i cry while directing almost every single day" i'm so happy we get to publicly see new ways of doing things that have been done for centuries its very exciting!!!!

Greta should have gotten the Oscar nomination as Lana Del Rey should have gotten her grammy, can't believe that award shows nowadays don't recognize true art

[@padipadi8293]

and you decide what is true art and what‘s not? I loved Lanas album and I would have loved for it to win a Grammy but Billie deserved it as well. But I do agree, Greta should have been nominated. But hopefully there‘s many more wonderful projects of hers to come for which she will finally get nominated and win.

Little Women was AMAZING! I love it as much as I love Lady Bird. And this is just my opinion, but to have her actresses nominated, costumes, screenplay and score nominated, along with BEST PICTURE, but not having a Best Director nomination herself...that a slap in the face. Greta made that classic piece of literature modern and relatable, but still stayed true to the book.
