Walk the Line, 2005

THURSDAY MOVIE CONNECTION!
Reese Witherspoon--Robert Patrick




Director: James Mangold
Stars: Joaquin Pheonix, Reese Witherspoon, Robert Patrick, Ginnifer Goodwin




The story of the life of Johnny Cash (Pheonix). From childhood to marrying the love of his life June Carter (Witherspoon). It's mostly about the relationship between he and June. It's not the happiest of movies, but it has it's redeeming qualities. I nearly cried when June and her family chased a drug dealer off Johnny's property, trying to save Johnny when he was completely helpless on drugs. That was a beautiful intervention, in my opinion. But otherwise, I liked the music and didn't like the story. It was too sad. The music is excellent, however! I was already a Johnny Cash fan, but it definitely made me like him more. And Pheonix and Witherspoon do a great job singing! :)
