Two Views of 'Walk the Line'

The new Johnny Cash-June Carter Cash biopic earns enthusiastic kudos from one of my favorite bloggers, Danny Miller. But another fave, Charlie Lehardy didn't care for it.

Interestingly, Charlie, a devoted Christian and a liberal Democrat, felt that the movie gave little attention to Cash's faith. Danny, who is Jewish, was by contrast, attracted to his perception of the film's portrayal of the tough and tolerant love of Christian faith.

I guess I'm going to have to go see Walk the Line now and make up my own mind. But one of the things I love about the blogging world is that it engages people in dialogue who otherwise would have never known each other. And that, I think, is a very good thing!
