Rating: 8/10 (3 January 2011)

Johnny Cash's music is truly unique. That legendary man will always be membered by as the one the greatest country singers ever. Johnny Cash's life was full of success. It was marred by personal problems such as drinking, drug addiction and unstability. Nevertheless, it doesn't reduce the influence he has had to the country music.
Walk The Line follows John's life through tough childhood to the frenzied success all over the America. The film focuses mainly to his relationship with his beloved singer June. James Mangold does a great job here. This is just not a movie which circles around the love relationship. It still has space for music. The movie offers some great on-stage music performances. Joaquin Phoenix (Johnny) and Reese Witherspoon (June) does have a great match here. It works well.
The man who sang that love is burning thing, really knew what he was singing about. Johnny Cash walked the line almost entire his life. His music is called classic nowadays. Watch the movie and listen to the music and you may get it.
