My wife and I had an opportunity to watch Walk the Line yesterday and enjoyed it. Though it didn't win a lot of Oscars last night (Reese Witherspoon notwithstanding), I think that's more due to the fact that it was an interesting year for movies. Particularly independents. I was fortunate enough to see many of the best picture contenders and I honestly wouldn't have been upset if any of them had won. They were all very well-made.

Here's some dialogue from Walk the Line that stood out to me. It was delivered to a young Johnny Cash after an uninspiring, run-of-the-mill performance. I think it can be applied to the way any artist should approach his/her craft -- and perhaps how we can all approach life.

"If you were hit by a truck and you were out in that gutter dying and you could sing one song -- one song people would remember before you're dirt -- one song that would let God know what you felt about your time here on Earth -- one song that would sum you up, you're telling me that would be the song you would sing?

Because I'm telling you right now, that's the kind of song people want to hear. That's the kind of song that truly saves people. It ain't got nothing to do with believing in God, Mr. Cash. It has to do with believing in yourself."

My family watched that movie last week. My older daughters gave it mixed reviews. They said it was OK. My husband liked it. Do you think it appealed to older viewers more than the younger crowd?
