(Source: Act da Fool by Harmony Korine) "The world want us to be happy. And, I trust the stars. They ain't never lied yet. Every night they say the same thing. The stars ain't never going to leave us." The fashion label, Proenza Schouler, commissioned this experimental film, Act da Fool, which explores a group of girls in a poor, Southern town. Despite their surroundings and their shortcomings, they stay strong -- they stay together.There are no boys -- all they need are each other. They have hope they will be able to leave their small town. The video plays on the Oscar Wilde quote, "We are all in the gutter, but some of us are looking at the stars," which was recycled in The Pretenders' song, "Message of Love." Now the reason we're here As man and woman Is to love each other Take care of each other When love walks in the room Everybody stand up Oh it's good, good, good Like brigitte bardot
Now look at the people In the streets, in the bars We are all of us in the gutter But some of us are looking at the stars Look round the room Life is unkind We fall but we keep gettin' up Over and over and over and over and over and over
Me and you, every night, every day We'll be together always this way Your eyes are blue like the heavens above Talk to me darlin' with a message of love
Now the reason we're here Every man, every woman Is to help each other Stand by each other When love walks in the room Everybody stand up Oh it's good, good good Say I love you, I love you, I love you, I love you, I love you, I love you
Talk to me darlin' Like the girls in "Act da Fool," may we keep gettin' up and looking at the stars when life is unkind. Over and over and over.
