Walk the Line.

Growing up, I never understood just why my Dad enjoyed listening to Johnny Cash when his songs came on the radio.  I never got hooked.  This movie, though, with the influence of my Dad, may have helped to change my mind.  Just saw Walk the Line.  You may say that I generally have positive reviews of movies on this here worldsareforming blog.  This is true, but just because I am picky about what movies I see.  Joaquin Phoenix and Reese Witherspoon did an amazing job of capturing Johnny Cash and June Carter Cash.  Both skillfully sung all of the songs in the movie.  Many painful elements within the story, but ultimately, great redemption.  Walk the Line has great quotes, especially regarding Christian faith.  Favorite song: Get Rhythm.  For being a nominal Cash fan, I really enjoyed this movie.  Probably will win an award or two, and rightfully so.  Not perfect, but a well done period piece.  Check it out.

I totally agree. This movie was a whole new world opening up to me - I've heard his music - I've heard the name - I've heard the hype. But until I saw this movie, I knew nothing of the man. Awesome, have-to-see-it kind of movie, for sure. Academy, nominate!!
