Transcript of Featured Review

Hi this is Daniel with my review of Walk The Line available on DVD. This blockbuster hit stars Joaquin Phoenix and Reese Witherspoon. Walk the Line is basically a retelling of the Johnny Cash story. It's a biographical movie and features a lot of the original music by Johnny Cash as he goes through his life and his life story. Reese Witherspoon and Joaquin Phoenix did a wonderful job portraying their characters although the movie itself I felt was a little disinteresting especially those that are probably not fans of Johnny Cash nor really want to know or relate to the story behind his life story or his life history. As such the movie has mixed reviews depending on who you're asking. In my opinion it was fun and interesting to learn about Johnny Cash but nothing that I really wanted to see that long on the big screen. As such earns away a 3 in my book but well played that is one thing that I will give it. It's rated PG 13; it's available on DVD. This is Daniel with my review of Walk the Line.

Summary
A solid and entertaining biopic, Walk the Line works less as a movie than an actors' showcase for its stars. Joaquin Phoenix's total immersion into the skin of singer Johnny Cash is startling--watching it, you can't believe this is the same guy who whined about being "vexed" in Gladiator . As he evolves from a farm boy to gospel croonin' plunker to the Man in Black, Phoenix disappears into Cash's deep baritone, his way of slinging the guitar onto his back, and his hunched-up style of strumming. But it's more than just picking up mannerisms: Phoenix also sings as Johnny Cash, and it's quite impressive. The story of how Johnny Cash became Johnny Cash traces from his childhood under a distant father (Robert Patrick) to his early attempts at a music career, during which he married his girlfriend Vivian (Ginnifer Goodwin). During a tour with the likes of Elvis (Tyler Hilton) and Jerry Lee Lewis (Waylon Malloy Payne), he encounters singer June Carter (Reese Witherspoon), and his love for her--and her rejection of him through the years--spurs him into drugs, drinking, and depression. As with most movies based on real-life singers, as his popularity grows, the women come a-flockin', and the childhood demons surface. Witherspoon, who matches Phoenix drawl for drawl, plays June both as a sassy spitfire whose charm breaks your heart, and as a sympathetic friend who tries to help Cash get over--well, her. The love story is what endures, but the movie comes most alive during its musical numbers, and even if you're not a country fan, it may just get you to run out and buy a Johnny Cash album. --Ellen A.
