And while plenty of people have been left shocked at the scene, Margot Robbie, who is a producer on the flick, was the complete opposite. She said: “It didn’t feel that shocking in the script, because Emerald immerses you into a world so quickly.”
She added: “She’s so masterful at tone and plot; she gets you into it so quickly — you’re just immediately like, ‘I’m in this world.’ So by the time you get to something like the bathtub scene, she’s primed you for it. She’s got you, you’re, like, picking at a scab; you’re like, ‘I can’t help myself,’ or like popping a pimple: ‘I know I shouldn’t squeeze but I’m gonna.”
Barbie star Margot then noted how she felt that Emerald’s script. was “intentionally disgusting and satisfying.” She then said: “I think she wanted you to be equally as disgusted as you are titillated, and equally as shocked as you are by finding that depravity in yourself.”
