LouHomey From my favorite movies..
Huievest Instead, you get a movie that's enjoyable enough, but leaves you feeling like it could have been much, much more.
Gurlyndrobb While it doesn't offer any answers, it both thrills and makes you think.
ddianchiikk Walk the Line is a fantastic success. The main film of the year 2005 is « Walk the Line » by the producer James Mangold. The movie is not only about the life of Johnny Cash, it's about the love in his life. Walk the Line tells about the life of the singer who had to move past the ravages of addiction, the temptations of stardom and other difficulties , in order to become a legendary person.The script here is simply remarkable, every scene was true to life. This movie is also unpredictable , there wasn't a moment where I thought I could predict what anyone was going to say or do next. It is a beautiful love story of two people who support and defend one another, despite all the obstacles on their way. The lovers are here played by Joaquin Phoenix and Reese WitherspoonJoaquin Phoenix is very charismatic actor, that's perfect for the elusive Cash, a quiet figure with a piercing gaze and a deep voice. She's just incredibly charming and feminine. Their transformation is astounding. "Walk the Line" follows the story line of many other musical biopics, maybe because many careers are the same: Hard times, obscurity, success, stardom, too much money, romantic adventures, drugs or booze, and then love and reaching a more lasting stardom. This story of Johnny Cash's career was well done. It is well known that Phoenix and Witherspoon perform their own vocals in the movie. Their outstanding performances help make it the strongest country-music film in years , their the songs are so perfect.Walk the Line is as good an explanation about role as a musician and star. By showing his flaws as well as his strengths, the film becomes a stirring example of a peculiarly success story, as well as a vivid reminder of the price of fame. The movie shows the bad consequences of bad behavior and the good consequences of good behavior. That it's all true made it even more touching. It is really an inspiring film! The story line, acting and directing were all excellent.The film is about his search for happiness. This is a special film, more than a biographic it's an emotional masterpiece and one of the best movies for me. Highly recommend!
karina_k_a This movie tells the story of the famous American singer and songwriter Johnny Cash, performed in the style of country, gospel, and made a great contribution to the development of rock'n'roll. Events occur at a momentous time, and it formed the era of a completely new wave of the evolution of musical art, to emerging rock-n-roll. This time, the fifties of the twentieth century, it differs special style, the post-war world came to life and bloomed with bright colors of new life, a new generation. All modern music was born in those glorious days when the first enthusiasts and revolutionaries of the musical world took up their guitars. Among them, Johnny Cash, whose contribution to the development of rock and roll, is undervalued, but this is simply explained, all the attention to himself took Elvis Presley. The film was very bright and stylish, and looks at one go.
aleesilvia I have just finished reading Johnny Cash' autobiography and this movie has disappointed me to much that I wanted to stop it half way but my wife wanted to see the end and watching it was my idea, so I had to see the whole thing. It swings from being unrealistic to being in plain contradiction with the reality of events and character of people (first of all, his father, June Carter and his relationship with both) as Johnny Cash describes them. I honestly think it insults his memory by pretending to be biographical. This is not a biographical film by any means, it's a hollywood style romantic/soap opera kind of movie about an artist who had indeed a very interesting and unique life, just nothing to do with this movie.
Olesya Gumannikova Walk the Line is a delightful and plausible biographical music drama of 2005. This movie reveals the life story of the great musician Johnny Cash. We see his childhood and the way he became a star. In the picture we witness his relationship with his second wife. We see an amazing life story of a talented man, whose life was full of different events: incredible ups and downs, the tragic loss of his beloved, and the meeting with true love ...The film is interesting and atmospheric. I really liked this musical drama. I enjoy biographical films and this one is inspiring, and the story of John Cash is shown realistically. Joaquin Phoenix is a talented and good actor, and starring in this drama he looked decent and acted gorgeously. The role of talented Cash is extremely complex and contradictory, but Phoenix coped with it with a bang. Reese Witherspoon fascinated me in this movie. She acted so charmingly and cleanly that she even got an Oscar for this role. I liked the duet of these actors and it was nice to watch them together. Walk the Line is a strong, beautiful, and clean film that revealed to us a bright and realistic life of an excellent musician, and it's definitely worth watching.
