Zoolander is a 2001 American satirical comedy film directed by Ben Stiller and starring Stiller, Owen Wilson and Will Ferrell. The film contains elements from a pair of short films directed by Russell Bates and written by Drake Sather and Stiller for the VH1 Fashion Awards television specials in 1996 and 1997. The short films and the film itself feature a dimwitted male model named Derek Zoolander, played by Stiller. The film involves Zoolander becoming the pawn of corrupt fashion executives in order to assassinate the Prime Minister of Malaysia.
A satire on the fashion industry, the film received generally positive reviews from critics and was a box office success. A sequel, Zoolander 2, was released on February 12, 2016.
The dim-witted but good-natured Derek Zoolander (Ben Stiller) is ousted as the top male fashion model by the rising star Hansel (Owen Wilson), and his reputation is further tarnished by a critical article from journalist Matilda Jeffries (Christine Taylor). After his three roommates and colleagues are killed in a "freak gasoline-fight accident", Derek announces his retirement from modeling and attempts to reconnect with his father Larry (Jon Voight) and brothers Luke (Vince Vaughn) and Scrappy (Judah Friedlander) by helping in the coal mines. Derek's delicate methods make him an impractical miner, and his family rejects him.
Your mouth moves a mile a minute, nothing wise in it.
can't live your own life, cause you're busy being a
critic,
spreading what you saw, spreading what you heard,
but we all know those events never occurred!
it's absurd what you do to get under our necks.
hate all you want. we'll still show you respect.
time to realize enough is enough.
hate all you want you'll never get the best of us.
you can talk you're talk, let your tongue run free.
you won't change the man i try to be.
turn my back to my enemies.
you'll never get the best of me!
your jaws always moving, criticizing what we're doing,
hopin' that we stumble in this road we're pursuin',
so you can justify the hatred in your heart.
pull all you want. you'll never tear us apart!
the strength we possess is not our own.
your hippocratic ways we don't condone.
time to realize you fix your bad habit,
till then,
heres my back, you can take a stab at it.
you can talk your talk, let your tongue run free.
you won't change the man i try to be.
turn my back to my enemies.
you'll never get the best of me!
talk your talk, let your tongue run free.
you won't change the man i try to be.
turn my back to my enemies.
you'll never get the best of me!
