Walk the Line

Starring: Phoenix, Joaquin and Witherspoon, Reese

Product Description

Before Johnny Cash was the Man in Black, he was just another musician struggling to make something of himself. 'Walk the Line' chronicles the extraordinary rise to fame of a musical legend. Overcoming early hardships such as the accidental death of his brother, Cash (Joaquin Phoenix) stormed Nashville with his innovative blend of rock, folk, blues, gospel and country. But even as his creativity blossomed, his heavy drug use took a toll, leading to a period of destructive behavior and the failure of his first marriage. It was June Carter (Reese Witherspoon), daughter of the first family of country music, who lifted Cash out of his emotional chaos and helped him to become the man and the musician he was meant to be.

Customer Reviews

This is a redemption story.

I have always enjoyed both Johnny and June. But I was not too interested in their lives. And I must admit that this film was a bit depressing at first. It reminded me too much of Steinbeck. I started to question my purchase, but before I could finish the thought, I was sucked into their lives and this movie. This adds a new perspective on classic songs. We see that they were just people and subject to personalities and environments, as we all are. You will find these songs going through your head days after viewing this movie. Note at the end credits the real thing, as the real duo sings “Long Legged Guitar Pickin’ Man”
