A small gem

Rating: 10/10 (6 July 2006)

I still remember how I saw this film for the first time!...I went to the cinema with my parents having a bad taste in my mouth because of this film's plot...But instead, I was very excited abut the film and when my parents bought the DVD, I watched it again for three times...The actors are great especially Reese Witherspoon in the role of June Carter...She's an excellent actress and the film shows this 100% and it seems that the Academy saw this too and gave her the long-awaiting Oscar...Joaquin Phoenix is also excellent in the role of Johnny Cash, a legend for the country music...The music is superb and it's burning inside our hearts even after the film's ending....James Mangold, the director of the film, creates a world of music, love, downfall and finally resurrection, with a sharp sense of humour...What excited me most about this film was the musical duet of the two actors....They are very convincing in their roles and they make the audience feel like they are right there beside them...The love story is very subtle and a little strange and this is one more thing that makes this film a small gem...Per total, this is an excellent film worth seeing more than once...Take my word for it!
