Makes you want to listen to Johnny Cash all the time

Rating: 9/10 (8 February 2008)

I usually didn't listen to Johnny Cash but after i saw this film i downloaded his album and never regret it. Joaquin Phoenix and Reese Witherspoon give not just Oscar worthy performances but cinema history performances. The film's story line is pretty simple but still very interesting. Not only is their very impressive acting but incredible singing especially by Reese Witherspoon. The film only covers a short period of his childhood on when his brother died in an accident and a short period of before he became a big star. Most of the film is covered on when he became addicted to drugs and fell in love with June Carter even though he was married and had two children. It also covers his rivalry with his father Ray Cash(Robert Patrick) when he blamed Johnny for Johnny's brothers death. The film is great one of the best film since 2000 and clearly film you would easily find on a 500 top movies.
