The movie was political, in the sense of Reagan's life-long dream to defeat communism, but not political in the modern, hateful, sense. The politics was far overshadowed by the love story with Nancy.
It was a hero-worship movie, but Lord knows, we could use a few more American heroes these days. When he rode off into the sunset, I cried.

Started crying at "Mr Gorbachev, if you want peace, ... Mr Gorbachev tear down this wall!!!" (Well, teared up - I wasn't actually disturbing anyone around me.) Managed my last eye wipe as I drove out of Lake Sumter Landing.
