"hello. I'm Johnny Cash" and the cheers would fill the stadium

Rating: 9/10 (1 March 2007)

I live in the city where purportedly Johnny proposed to June on stage. I cant recollect that, but I do recollect the time he did a show here and heard about an easter fund raising event on the radio called the 'bunny bundle'. so he called in and gave 5,000 dollars. some loser called in after that denigrating it as a 'publicity stunt', so Johnny called back, gave ANOTHER 5 grand and canceled the show.
so from that I concluded he was a generous and sensitive man of principles.
his Folsom album was the first C&W recording I ever bought. I even learned the lyrics.
and then he played Toronto at the ontario place stage before it was torn down. a very intimate setting and you could see how he had aged but still got a great deal of enjoyment from performing, another aspect of his generosity.
Jouquin Phoenix matches his voice and mannerisms perfectly, the wavy black hair and the way he would reach around the back part of his guitar and swing it around. and Reese was amazing too, especially doing the singing parts herself.
I just picked up the DVD since it has now started to hit the second hand shops.
a very outstanding film about the real life experiences of a very outstanding pair of performers.
