Walk the Line Review

Johnny Cash was a genius and the story of his life is definitely worth telling. 'Walk the Line' does the job and then some.

Joaquin Phoenix not only acts and looks like a young Johnny Cash, but mimics his singing voice so accurately, it’s hard to tell the difference. If that's not enough, Reese Witherspoon's imitation of June Carter is even better.

It was an amazing movie. so sad, inspirational and moving.

It tells the life story of Johnny Cash (Joacquin Phoenix) as a musician, from his depressing childhood, to starting his career as a musician, to his downfall on drugs and his love June Carter (Reese Witherspoon).

I thought the acting was extrodinary by both Phoenix and Reese Witherspoon, allong with all the ot... read more

An amazing movie about some amazing people. I'm glad I got to see it.

View all Walk the Line reviews

The love of a woman, given reluctantly, saves a man from addiction and self-destruction. Traces the life of Johnny Cash from his boyhood, with loss of a brother and of his father's affection, to 1968 when his outlaw side and his unhappiness give way to the twin triumphs of his concert at Folsom Prison and June Carter's acceptance of his marriage proposal. Along the way there's his first composition, first recording, first marriage, daughters, being smitten with June, divorce, pills and booze, an empty life, and the Carter family's nursing him back to health. June eases Johnny out of a ring of fire.

Also known as the Man in Black, Cash's career was an historic one in the country music scene, even with rivals like Elvis Presley and Jerry Lee Lewis.

2020: Others (340 movies items)

"Dalla vita non certo banale di Johnny Cash (e dai suoi ricordi travasati nei libri) Mangold ha tratto un biopic davvero notevole che racconta gli anni più difficili dell'Uomo In Nero. Certo, per molti tratti è convenzionale (il successo, la caduta, la redenzione attraverso i sentimenti), ma è recitato alla grande con Phoenix credibilissimo malgrado la differenza fisica, il nucleo narrativo è forte (la storia d'amore a lungo negata) e la parte musicale vibra. Get rhythm when you get the blues"

Miika's Movie Diary - 2019 (137 movies items)

"3.10. Elämänkertaelokuvaksi Walk the Line noudattaa hyvin tuttua kaavaa, ja vaikea uskoa että tämä olisi ollut näinkin mielenkiintoista seurattavaa ilman Phoenixia. Mies tuntuu vetävän tämänkin roolin täydestä sydämestä. Reese Witherspoon puolestaan aiheuttaa lähinnä huonossa mielessä kylmiä väreitä etelävaltioiden aksentillaan."
