Don’t Cry Honey, The National
"IF YOU'RE LOOKING FOR MICK DUNDEE, HE'S GONE...
The film was obviously made in order to introduce another culture (albeit a retarded one) to New Yorkers; because New York City is notoriously starved for diversity. Mick doesn’t learn much about American culture, but he gets to know and positively influences everyone he comes into contact with.
There are fabulous racial stereotypes. Every African American talks ‘jive’, they have 5 minute long...

EVERY TIME YOU CLOSE YOUR EYES (LIES!)
There came a time when we decided to live with the unspeakable.
It is cold, but not unfeeling. Certain thoughts are kept hidden with our bodies underneath the covers. We work hard at keeping warm, and at keeping secrets.

STAND BY ME
Someone tapped me on the shoulder, and as I turned around he came closer. “I love you,” he said into my ear before turning and disappearing into the slow dancing crowd.

One girl couldn’t stop crying, even at parties. As her reddening eyes became wet, she would look down slowly, closing her eyes. She would...
