Incredible performances by Joaquin and Reese

Rating: 10/10 (13 August 2006)

In the last two years Hollywood has given us many good movies like Good night and good luck, Brokeback mountain, Syriana, King Kong , The constant gardener, Crash, Star wars, Capote etc. but no one of these movies beats Walk the line.
Walk the line tells the true story about country-rock singer Johnny Cash life with such style and elegance that it make it one of my favourite movies.
The movie follows Johnny Cash (Joaquin Phoenix) from he is a little boy, his first wife, his first record, his drug addiction, up to his marriage with singer and comedian June Carter (Reese Witherspoon).
The movie features INCREDIBLE performances by Joaquin and Reese. They also sing the songs too. Joaquin does a really good job of portraiting Johnny Cash. But it is Reese that steals the show in this movie. She's not just beautiful, she really outdo herself in this movie. Ginnifer Goodwin, Robert Patrick, Dallas Roberts, Dan John Miller, Larry Bagby and Shelby Lynne also does good acting.
The movie is directed by James Mangold, the man behind Girl, interrupted and Identity. James does a really good job of putting Johnny's life to the big screen.
The script is also good. With good dialog and good story.
I recommend this movie for everyone that likes good movies.
