Artistic and Touching

The music video for Johnny Cash's cover of "Hurt" is not only a wonderful example of artistic expression, but also a touching memoir of the life of Johnny Cash. By including images of Christ from a movie that Cash produced, the video refers to the works of Cash as well as coincides with the theme of sacrificing everything to go back to what he once was. The action on action shots and the cuts of the piano playing gave quality of smoothness to the overall effect of the video. My favorite part of the video was the poignant nature that it portrayed in a short amount of time.
