Film | Keira Knightley For Coco Mademoiselle
/
Keira Knightley is setting hearts aflutter this week in her new Coco Mademoiselle film set to the Joss Stone tune ‘It’s a Man’s World’. My initial reaction was ‘Great, this is all I need. Another reminder that it’s a man’s world. How progressive!’

After three minutes of man has done everything that counts in the world — granted while Keira Knightley holds court, racing through the streets of Paris on her Ducati, into the romantic vision of her photographer — the Joss Stone lyrics end on a different note — not included in the shorter video I first watched, not included in the James Brown original lyrics, based on three search results and listening to James Brown sing his hit song; and not in Joss Stone’s singing the song on her own album:
He’s got to have a woman
Man, he needs a woman
He’s got to have a woman
Man makes everything he can
But you see a woman makes a better man
A woman makes a better man
This is a man’s, a man’s world ooh
But it would mean nothing
Not one little thing no
Without a woman or a girl, no
Without a woman or a girl, no
It would mean nothing
This is a man’s world
I don’t know that woman makes a better man, but I’ll take this Joss Stone, Coco Mademoiselle note of female empowerment.
Most of the women hearing the commercial won’t get that long message, but I feel better. Anne
