Walk the Line Storyline

J.R. Cash takes an early interest in music while growing up on an Arkansas cotton farm in the Great Depression. He is very close to his elder brother Jack, who dies in an accident involving a table saw in 1944 when J.R. is out fishing. His guilt about this event is not helped when his father blames him as well, so it comes as a welcome escape when he is old enough to enlist in the air force and is sent to Germany. Inspired by a film he sees there, Inside the Walls of Folsom Prison (1951) he composes a song, “Folsom Prison Blues.” Leaving the air force Cash marries and attempts to succeed as a door-to-door salesman in Memphis, Tenn. but his heart is in music and he succeeds in an audition with Sam Phillips at Sun Records. Soon Johnny is touring and meets June Carter, who has been a country star since childhood. Although they are drawn to each other, they are married to others. Touring takes a toll on Johnny’s marriage, and in the 1960’s he becomes addicted to amphetamines. His marriage ends and June helps him beat the drug dependency. Reading fan letters from prisoners inspires Cash to perform a concert at Folsom Prison, which leads to a very successful album. June finally accepts Johnny’s proposal of marriage given as they perform together on stage in Ontario in February, 1968.

Walk the Line Movie Reviews

Superb

I do like biopics a lot, I find them interesting, and not only was Walk the Line interesting, it was also truthful and compelling. The cinematography and editing are top notch, and the costumes/clothes and location work are nigh on perfect with a real sense of elegance about them. The songs and music are absolutely wonderful, the script is of exceptional quality, the story is well paced and easy to get into and the direction is excellent. And to top it all, the characters are portrayed in a truthful and sincere manner, while Joaquin Pheonix and Reese Witherspoon for my mind give career-best performances. In conclusion, a superb film and out of the movies of 2005 only Brokeback Mountain beats it. 10/10 Bethany Cox

Great biopic love story

This is biopic of the great Johnny Cash (Joaquin Phoenix) from him picking cotton growing up in the Great Depression era to his marriage to Vivian (Ginnifer Goodwin) and to his romance with June Carter (Reese Witherspoon).

Joaquin Phoenix puts in an excellent performance. It’s not the music development that’s put upfront. It’s not really about Johnny Cash climbing the chart. This is a love story between Johnny Cash and June Carter Cash. Reese is also great. Don’t get me wrong. The music is great. But it’s the amazing love story that will make you fall for this movie.

What a Story!

I have never been a fan of Johnny Cash (Joaquinm Phoenix), therefore I have not followed his career; but the story of his life is really an excellent theme for a movie. There are drama, rejection, music, drugs, romance and love. The screenplay begins when he was a boy, being raised very close to his brother Jack in a cotton farm in Arkansas; the tragic death of Jack in an accident with a saw, generating a process of rejection of his father; the period in the air force in Germany; his wedding with his sweetheart and the financial difficulties of the beginning of his marriage; his success with music, touring with Jerry Lee Lewis, June Carter, Elvis Presley, and Carl Perkins, and becoming addicted in pills; his fall in the world of drugs, causing the end of his marriage; his passion for June Carter (Reese Witherspoon); his raise, with the support of June, with a concert for the inmates at Folsom Prison in California; and his proposal of marriage to June on stage in Ontario. In addition to the wonderful screenplay, the stunning performance of this great actress Reese Witherspoon deserved the Oscar of Best Performance by an Actress in a Leading Role. Last but not the least, the wonderful songs are fantastic. My vote is nine.
