Everybody's Fool - The Evanescence Reference

Everybody's Fool - The Evanescence Reference

I have a strange fascination with that band. The music is dark, yet melodic. But I'm a bit hypersensitive to portrayals of negative emotions and their reactions, at times.For example, take this video, "Everybody's fool". The pain expressed by Amy Lee (lead singer of the band) is great, and identifiable to anyone who has ever been lied to in a big way, and made a fool of.But when Amy smashes her hand through the mirror and pulls it back to bandage it up, bleeding profusely, I not only cringe, but almost feel the pain. (As you can imagine, I haven't been watching many horror movies in recent years.)http://evanescencereference.info/wiki/index.php?title=Everybody's_FoolVideoEverybody's FoolThe video, directed by Philip Stolzl, is a live action video that portrays the life of a glamorous superstar (played by Amy Lee) who is really unhappy with the way she portrays herself in the media. She sells Lies consumer products (perfume, pizza, energy drink, and a little doll). Towards the end of the video she expresses deep regret for selling Lies in the first place.The video was filmed in Los Angeles in mid-April 2004. It quickly became a fan favourite. a..
