American Dreamers - Old Home Movie - Goran Bregovic[00:00:00]

One thing I was sure of[00:00:00]

That my uncle Leo was definitely the hero of my childhood[00:00:02]

The smell of his old spice cologne carried me[00:00:07]

Back into that lost childhood more than the home movies did[00:00:09]

My uncle didn't know it but it was the sweet[00:00:13]

Cheap smell of car dealers that took me back[00:00:16]

And made me dissolve into a dream of the past[00:00:18]

Leo was the last dinosaur that smelled of cheap cologne[00:00:22]

And he believed in the American dream[00:00:26]

I was crazy about him because he believed in miracles[00:00:29]

And Even though he lived inside of life and sold Cadillacs[00:00:32]

He always looked like a ten-year-old boy whose sleeves were too long[00:00:36]

When I was ten Leo gave me this great movie camera[00:00:41]

And my mother always hoped I'd become the next Milton Berle[00:00:44]

But dreams of houses and cars and fresh-cut lawns[00:00:47]

Aren't dreams when they become real[00:00:50]

And somehow I understood what my mother[00:00:52]

Meant by good morning Columbus[00:00:55]

And even if my mother didn't like[00:00:57]

What I was doing with my life[00:00:58]

I think she'd understand[00:01:01]

When I was 11 I got this really weird earache[00:01:06]

That wouldn't go away[00:01:08]

I went to about a hundred doctors[00:01:10]

But none of them could help me[00:01:12]

So what Leo did was he went into Mexico[00:01:13]

And brought back this fat lady witch doctor[00:01:16]

Who did this mumbo-jumbo and fixed me right up[00:01:18]

I was grateful but somehow I thought[00:01:21]

I might've been better off mute[00:01:23]

All in all I had a very happy childhood[00:01:26]

My father was a border guard who spent most of his life[00:01:29]

Trying to keep people from crossing lines[00:01:31]

Every night for 15 years he'd go out and smooth[00:01:34]

Down the road between Mexico and Arizona[00:01:36]

And every morning he'd be out there[00:01:39]

Looking for footprints in the dirt[00:01:40]

But my father always said that work was like a hat[00:01:43]

You put on your head[00:01:45]

And even if you didn't have pants[00:01:46]

You didn't have to walk[00:01:48]

Down the street ashamed of your a*s[00:01:48]

So long as you had a hat[00:01:50]

And if somebody was to ask me[00:03:06]

Why I don't get up right now[00:03:07]

And take the next train back to New York[00:03:08]

It's because you can't say no to your childhood hero[00:03:11]

I decided to be his best man[00:03:14]

But one thing I was sure of[00:03:16]

No matter how much I loved the smell of cheap cologne[00:03:18]

I was never going to become my uncle[00:03:21]

And I was never going to sell Cadillacs[00:03:24]
