Alright, let’s talk about this Zoolander movie, you know, the one with that fella who can’t turn left. I saw it on the TV the other day, kinda silly, but it got me thinkin’.
First off, this Zoolander fella, he’s a model, a real pretty boy. Always posin’ and poutin’. He’s got this look, they call it “Blue Steel,” I think. Looks like he’s got a fish stuck in his mouth if you ask me. But hey, them fancy folks in the city, they eat that stuff up, I guess.
The story, well, it’s about this Zoolander losin’ his top spot as the best model. Some new young buck comes along, all muscles and hair, and steals his thunder. Zoolander, he gets all sad and mopey, goes back to his home, I think it was some kinda mine or somethin’. His family, they’re all miners, rough and tough, not like him at all. They don’t think too highly of his modelin’ stuff, ya know? Makes ya wonder why he went off to be a fancy city boy in the first place.
- They tried to get him to work in the mines.
- But he just ain’t cut out for that kinda work.
- He’s too soft, too used to the good life.
Then, this crazy fella, Mugatu, a real weirdo with white hair, he hires Zoolander. Mugatu, he’s a fashion designer, but he’s also got some evil plan, somethin’ about brainwashin’ and killin’ the Prime Minister of Malaysia, I think. It’s all very complicated, too much thinkin’ for my old head.
Zoolander, he’s too dumb to realize what’s goin’ on at first. He just wants to be famous again, to be on top. He meets this other model, a gal named Matilda, and they team up, tryin’ to stop Mugatu. There’s this other fella too, Hansel, Zoolander’s rival, but they become friends later on. He’s “so hot right now”, they say.
There’s a whole lot of runnin’ around, and silly fight scenes. They even have a “walk-off,” like a gun fight but with model poses. It’s ridiculous, but kinda funny, I gotta admit. Zoolander, he finally figures out Mugatu’s plan, and they stop him just in the nick of time.
In the end, Zoolander becomes a hero, kinda. He saves the day, gets the girl, and even learns to turn left. He opens a school for kids who can’t read good, which I think is a nice thing to do. Though, I don’t know why anyone wouldn’t want to read good. Seems important to me.
I heard they made a second Zoolander movie, but it wasn’t very good. Folks didn’t like it much, said it wasn’t funny like the first one. And somethin’ about Zoolander’s wife dyin’ in a construction accident. That’s just sad. Sounds like they shouldn’t have bothered makin’ it if you ask me.
Anyway, that’s the Zoolander movie for ya. It’s silly, it’s dumb, but it’s got a good heart, I guess. It’s about findin’ yourself, and doin’ the right thing, even if you’re just a pretty-faced model who can’t turn left. It ain’t Shakespeare, but it’ll keep ya entertained for a couple of hours, I reckon.
Now, I gotta go make some supper. All this talk about fashion and models has made me hungry for some good ol’ meatloaf and mashed potatoes. That’s real food, not like whatever those skinny models eat.
And that fella, Ben Stiller, he plays Zoolander, I think he’s a funny guy. He makes that silly character kinda likable, ya know? Even with the fish face.
Oh, and they say you can find the script for the movie online, on some kinda “movie script database” thingy. I wouldn’t know how to do that, all that computer stuff is too complicated for me. But if you’re interested, I guess you could look it up.
