An engaging and vibrant biopic

Rating: Null/10 (6 August 2008)

This film is about the rise and fall of the popular singer Johnny Cash.
Though I have never heard his music before, "Walk The Line" successfully captivates my interest to learn more about this singer. I admire his perseverance to succeed, and I am saddened by his downfall caused by drugs. Cash's relationship with his wife and with Carter are both engagingly portrayed. Reese Witherspoon is charming, showing off her trademark sweet smile in between her great range of acting skills. The songs are upbeat and vibrant, making the music performances on stage a pleasure to watch. The only one complaint I have is the accent which the actors speak in. It makes the film a little hard to understand, and it is hard to concentrate fully when the film is over two hours long.
