quick view on walk the line

Rating: 10/10 (22 February 2006)

basically this film is about the life of johnny cash. it starts as him as a boy and then travels over his life but mainly focuses on his time travelling on the Sun Records tour with other known artists like Elvis Presley, Jerry Lee Lewis and Carl Perkins. it then continues to deal with the problems he faced on the road and the issues he had to deal with off it.
i loved this film. i thought the leads were played really well by both Joaquin Phoenix and Reese Witherspoon. although Reese accent in it made me laugh a couple of times. i loved the songs and i loved the way they went with the films timing. in short i just thought it was an amazing film and i haven't stopped recommending it to people since i saw it! my friend who went to see it with me had never heard any Johnny Cash songs but really enjoyed it. she saw it as just a film rather then a biopic. plus i don't think the fact that the lead is played by the very handsome Joaquin Phoenix did any harm in it either. it was really nice to see him play a "manly" role as the only other thing that I've seen him in is Gladiator and he plays the character Commodus who's a bit wimpy.
