Walking the political line?

I read a reasonable review of "Walk the Line" over at Libertas. I was not amused with the politics injected into viewing Cash's life and was compelled to leave this comment:

To all who would diminish Cash’s story to a treatise on politics, don’t do it.

All good stories deserve more than that. Cash’s life, above all else, was a damn good story: the principal human struggle to see oneself accurately (that is, not all-bad, not all-good) and then taking that accurate vision, living a life humbled by failings and hopeful of the future. The film’s fulcrum is Cash’s having given up the drugs, but still despondent in viewing himself that all-bad little boy from Arkansas. At first he borrows the hope of another, June Carter, but eventually makes that hope his own as he learns to believe it.

This is good stuff. Don’t miss this message in the attempt to make Cash a posthumous member of your party.
