Walk the Line

Walk the Line

Who's in it: Joaquin Phoenix, Reese Witherspoon

What's it about: Johnny Cash(Phoenix) started his love for music as a child. During his lifetime, he climbed through many obstacles and came out of top of the muscial charts. On his tours around the United States, his favourite childhood singer, June(Witherspoon), sang along with him. Even though he had a family back home, he feel in love with June. She didn't like him like that though. His desperate attempts to make her fall in love with him went on for the majority of his music career. He wrote songs that related to the way he felt and what he did. They were his way of communiating his love towards her.

What I Think: I don't believe in cheating or being unfaithful. Usually, I hate movies that have that in it. However, I really enjoyed this movie. I liked learning about the life of Johnny Cash. I have lost a small bit of respect for him though. Witherspoon did a great job. I thought that she portrayed June very well. Her clothes were very cute I thought. I loved her voice as well as Phoenix's voice. I loved him playing Johnny Cash. The music was great! The vintage clothing and setting were superb for this story.
