Walk the Line

I just got back from seeing that movie. I am someone who knew barely anything on the history of Johnny Cash and June Carter Cash. I found it to be slighty long but interesting story and a true one at that. The best part I felt was at the end of his facial expression when she accepts his offer. You could feel that love. Overall, amazing movie. What did everybody else thought?

 

I actually cannot wait to see that movie It looks really good and Joaquin Pheonix is one of my favourite actors so that is a big plus sign right thur

One thing people got hyped up about in my town is that in the movie they say in the movie that the lovely couple got engaged in Ontario, Canada and dont mention that it was LONDON! Ontario is pretty fucking big...how could they not say that it was London....that pissed a LOT of ppl off.

Still cant wait to see it tho

 

i saw it. it was prettygood. i didn't know much bout cash but learned some stuff.
i had fun picking their noses.
and dancing to the tunes

 

I cried twice i felt like a sissy I knew some about mr cash but i didnt know that june had died three months before he did made alot more sense

 

The movie was great but, as a HUGE Johnny Cash fan, I was dissapointed that the movie was centered around his relationship with June Carter. I expected to see a movie about Johnny Cash, not a movie about him and June. I just felt that they should have had more about him alone. But i suppose without June's love there wouldnt have been much of a story to tell.

 

I thought the movie was great!! It is one of my favorite movies now.

 

rules hard. Especially impressive that Joaquin Phoenix and Reese Witherspoon both did all the singing...

 

:sunglasse :sunglasse I saw the movie walk the line 3 times..know im waiting on the dvd 2 come out...great movie..i was raised on J. C. know looking forward 2 the oscars sun.. nite 3/5/06???Go Johnny!!!!!!!!

 

Great movie, indeed. Joaquin's acting is amazing in it, and he and Reese are very good singers!!

 

Ive seen it twice on dvd I really liked it.

The whole movie when ever I saw all those big names like elvis, jerry lee, cash, just kept thinkin, what would it have been like for them I guess they couldnt have known that they were all going to become big names in the future.. just cool to think about

if it made scence

 

I bought this movie the day it came out, because after I saw it in the theatre I was in looove. I love everything about it. The acting is AMAZING.

;laksdjf !! Yay for Johnny Cash.

 

Great movie, Reese richly deserved her Oscar. Hopefully the movie turns lots of people on to Johnny Cash, one of the absolute giants of American music. Incredible singer, songwriter, and just an extraordinary man.

 

ah ya that was a wicked good movie best id seen all 2005, i would love to buy the dvd now that its out. acting was good story was good and it turned me over to johnny cash. the only country id ever listen to and like!

 

I liked it, and have always liked Johnny Cash, but it was a little slow I had to watch it 2x cause I kept falling asleep the 1st time. My kids watched it too and it really reinforced the Johnny Cash music we listen to at home! The talk about him like they know him so well now. (also had to explain all those pills)

 

Loved it, thought Phoenix was robbed of the Oscar. Ok, Hoffman was great as Capote, but I think Cash was a more complex character to portray, with a lot more rawness and emotion -- not to mention the singing! This is a story with a lot of highs and lows, as well as a slowly building undercurrent of intensity... whereas I thought Capote was more of a character study.

jm2c, keep the change

 

I just saw it not even 1 hour ago hahaha, unfortunatly enough, I didnt like it much.

Ray Charles, Johnny Cash, Jerry Lee Lewis, all musicians that had biopics, definatly didnt live the same life, so why are all their movies the same? Its formulaic and annoying, I saw Ray a few months ago, tonight, I felt like I was watching it again.

Im not talking about the details of their lives such as bad family relationships, tragic loss at an early age, drug problems, relationships, Im talking about the way the movie is filmed, and how every scene is just the same shit, tied together with them playing a show.

 

Dude you aren't even old enough to drink!

 

Nice observation, lucky for you, me being 17, I have no opinion now do I, or you would have to come up with a response for what I said.

 

You can have all the opinions you want, but are they informed? If you play critic, at least give a basis for your statements. What standard are you comparing these films to? Why don't they measure up as biographies?


Both Ray and Walk The Line were pretty well done as 2-hour Hollywood films go, IMO.

 

I was actually disappointed in the movie, given all the 'hoopla' about how great it was. It was no "Coal Miner's Daughter". Even the casting - I mean Reese is from Tennessee so her playing this character wasn't too much 'acting' on her part, and though she can sing, if they'd lip-synched the movie I think it would have been better, with that said, finding out Sissy Spacek could really sing like Loretta Lynn was fabulous. Poop poop to the voting Academy.
