Walk the Line

I liked the movie also.  However, I didn't think Joaquin Pheonix sounded much like J.C.  I'm a big fan of Cash so maybe I'm a little biased.

LOVE the movie, saw it 3x in theatres, now own the DVD. (get the one with bonus features!)

It is accurate. Reese sounds SO much better than June ever did, may she rest in peace. I don;t think ANYONE could have played Cash better than Joaquin.  And their onscreeen chemistry was, to me, very convincing and very close to what I remember reading and seeing between JC and June.  I am a huge fan of both Johnny and June, and I was prepared to  hate the movie, but, obviously, I love it!

Just saw it last night.  I thought it was good.  I read Ebert's review and he said the scene where he proposes sounds like it was written for the movie but he did some research and it actually happened that way.  That's all I can attest to as far as historical accuracy.

I thought Witherspoon was excellent.  I said to my wife while we were watching it that I was aware that I was watching Phoenix playing Cash, but that when she was on screen I just thought of her as her character, not as Witherspoon playing Carter.  I don't know if I'm explaining it right but to me that was a sign of how good her performance was. 

Haven't seen the movie, but I can confirm this statement is correct.

I have to agree with the above post from Rich.   So if I remember it right, Elvis was the one who got him hooked on drugs?  AT least that's what I remember seeing in the movie.  

Dennis Quaid does a WAAAY better Jerry Lee IMHO.

Like I said, I just saw it last night.  Someone else first offered him the drugs, the guy just said something like, "come on, Elvis is doing it too." 

Hangloose, I agree with you about Reese being the character.  I thought she did a fabulous job.

I thought the movie was great.  The only issue I had was I thought the drug abuse story was too long.

I think I heard that either Jonny, himself, or his son gave an okay for the movie so I would think it would be close to the truth.

Anyone know if there is a sound track CD for this movie?  Yes, I'm old school still buying CD's.

there is a soundtrack and it is great. My fave song though, is not on it

(Time's a Wastin, which she recorded w/ her first husband)
