FRUSTRATINGGGGG

Rating: 8/10 (6 February 2019)

I've only heard of Johnny Cash one other time before watching this movie. In one of Katy Perry's songs, "The one that got away", to be exact. The plot of the movie is basically that Johnny Cash is in love with June and he will stop at nothing. He wants to spend his days with June rather than with his wife, Vivian.
For the history part of the movie, I feel the clothes they were wearing was very accurate to the time period the movie was portrayed to be in. The time period the movie is set in allowed for the beginning of the rock and roll era, which is not as popular now among current music.
Rock and roll then sounded very different from rock and roll now. It use to be a little more mellow than it is now, in my opinion.
James Mangold is the director of this movie, the only other movie I've watched that was directed by James Mangold as well is Girl interrupted. Girl interrupted and walk the line were both equally good movies in my opinion. The main actors are Joaquin Phoenix and Reese Witherspoon. They both did a good Job with the acting throughout the movie, but they could've done so much better. They've both grown and have starred in much bigger movies. For example Reese Witherspoon in "legally blond" and Joaquin Phoenix is "Her." So good for them. Their acting has definitely improved.
I liked the entire movie over all, what I didn't like was that Johnny was drunk at ALL TIMES POSSIBLE. I think it was annoying if i'm being honest. He would get drunk, act out and then June would have to save him over and over again. I didn't like that he was cheating on his wife and she sort of knew and never directly brought it up, she needed to step up. I didn't like that he stopped talking to his daughters, and started paying lots of attention to Junes' kids for a part of the movie. The only way id watch this movie on my own time would be if someone suggested it, but if it just popped up while I was scrolling I probably would not watch it on my own time.
I would recommend this movie to my friends because it was a good movie, it was just super frustrating to watch Johnny dig himself deep and then having to be dug out by June all the time.
