They couldn't have done it better

Rating: 8/10 (6 March 2006)

WALK THE LINE (2005)
directed by: James Mangold
starring: Joaquin Phoenix, Reese Witherspoon, Ginnifer Goodwin, and Robert Patrick
plot: The story of Johnny Cash (Joaquin Phoenix), his rise to fame, and the love of his life, June Carter (Reese Witherspoon).
my thoughts: I was just getting into Johnny Cash (I'm only 17) when I heard this film was coming out. I usually can't get into movies about a famous person's life, I don't know why. But this one pulled me in from the beginning.
Joaquin Phoenix is absolutely amazing as Cash. He goes through so much emotion in this film and does really well in the music scenes, especially with Witherspoon.
Reese Witherspoon was very cute as June Carter, also adequately showing her underrated talent. Her and Phoenix totally made be buy the love story, and not just because it really happened.
Ginnifer Goodwin and Robert Patrick also lend their presence as Cash's wife and father.
This film also includes other famous music stars of Cash's time such as Jerry Lee Lewis and Elvis Presley.
Definitely check this out if you are a fan of Johnny Cash or June Carter, or just great movies.
