Introduction Social work involves the understanding of people’s behavior and why they behave in a particular manner. This often involves the use of various theoretical frameworks to conceptualize cases. Hutchison (2008) also provides three dimensions of human behavior in his multidimensional model to aid in understanding people’s behavior. These include the biological, environmental, and spiritual dimensions. These dimensions have to be considered alongside several theoretical frameworks to be able to understand factors surrounding an individual’s pattern of behavior. This paper thus utilizes Hutchison’s multidimensional framework in conjunction with three theoretical frameworks: biological, feminist and cognitive to analyze the character Johnny Cash in the film Walk the Line . Background to the film and the character (extracted from IMDb my knowledge of the movie) Produced in 2005 by James Keach and Cathy Konrad with James Mangold as the director, Walk the Line is an American biographical drama film featuring the early life of Johnny Cash, a country music artist. The film is based on the lyrics of a song written by Johnny Cash in the 1950s titled I Walk the Line . The role Johnny Cash in the film is played by a renowned American movie star, Joaquin Phoenix. Through Walk the Line , James Mangold narrates the life of Johnny Cash right from his childhood experience in the rural cotton farms in Arkansas through his career in air force in Germany not forgetting his marriage life with Vivian and his long courtship with June Carter ( Walk the Line , 2005). The film takes a flashback structure, which opens with Johnny’s historic Folsom Prison Concert before the viewer is taken through the “line” Johnny had to walk to achieve his fame.

He keeps on listening to a radio even after receiving a series of reprimands from his father, Ray Cash. At the age of 14, Jack is seriously wounded by a wood saw while Johnny is out fishing and eventually dies (YouTube, n.d., scene 1). Ray is angered and blames Johnny for not his absence during the incident. He even out rightly tells Johnny that he should have been the one dead and not Jack. The first scenes of the film present a troubled relationship between Johnny and his father; something that eventually compelled him to join the air force and leave home for Germany ( Walk the Line , 2005). While in Germany, Johnny still dreams of becoming a musician. Johnny buys his first guitar and soon starts to write songs for his wife to be, Vivian Liberto. John eventually marries Vivian after only one month of courtship. His contract at the air force elapses, then Johnny together with his wife and daughter moves to settle in Tennessee where he works as a salesman to support his family. Johnny later becomes serious with his music, but his wife finds difficulty in adjusting to being the wife of a musician. This does not deter Johnny from pursuing his dream especially after meeting someone willing to help him. Johnny auditions for Sam Phillips and is awarded a recording contract with Sun Records.
