A credible telling of the story of a fascinating figure.

Rating: 9/10 (16 July 2006)

The story of Johnny and June Cash is one that is worthy of a big screen presentation.Johnny's early life alone makes an interesting story,as does his his life with the angel who saved him from certain death,June Carter.It is in my humble opinion that his life would have been much shorter without her.Their love for each other was perhaps the truest of any romances that have ever been made public.Though Joaquin Phoenix looks little like Cash,and Reese Witherspoon even less like June Carter,the two actors did a credible job in capturing the public persona of the duo.though I enjoy this film,I do wish it would have gone further into their lives,such as the subject of Nashville virtually turning their back on a man who did more than his share in helping the town earn it's nickname,"Music City".In the end,his earlier life by itself,makes a good Hollywood script.This is a credible telling of a much storied life.
