A biopic in the lead of great ones

Rating: 8/10 (30 March 2008)

Walk the Line is the story of Johnny Cash and June Carter, two people I have never heard of.
However, Phoenix's and Witherspoon's acting gave me an idea of who these two were.
Speaking of acting, I praise this aspect of the movie. Joaquin Phoenix gave the performance of his life. I like his acting here, especially in the scene where he performs after being dosed with a lot of pills. His face alone spoke three lines of dialogue.
Reese Witherspoon's tough cookie acting also got me there. She definitely got the spirit of the '50's and makes it look easy.
One thing I did not like in the movie is that the vocals didn't match the lip sync. But anyhow, it doesn't matter.
This movie is in the lead of great biopics such as Selena and La Bamba.
