i’m currently trying to pay attention to this but 30 seconds after i started my best friend texted me “joaq the line” and now all i can think about is that pun
anyway long story short is the subject of this film should have been june
reese witherspoon and joaquin phoenix BECAME june carter and johnny cash. their chemistry is one of the most beautiful things i’ve ever seen and i could watch them sing together forever. honestly - the performances of an absolute lifetime. this completely blew me away. wow
johnny cash at some point in his life probably: they always say yeehaw but never ask haw yee 😔
joaquin phoenix 🤝 daniel day-lewis 🤝 philip seymour hoffman

Couldn’t stop laughing because I would watch a scene and remember the Walk Hard scene it inspired 😪
Reese witherspoon: *sings*
Me: The Academy Award for Best Actress is an award presented annually by the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences (AMPAS). It is given in honor of an actress who has delivered an outstanding performance in a leading role while working within the film industry.
While there are a ton of simplifications to the story, this is probably one of the most well-done music biopics (that take the traditional route) that I’ve seen. The performances by Phoenix and Witherspoon are fantastic, and the movie wouldn’t be the same without them.
Johnny Cash is a jackass and an arsehole towards his first wife. But doggone it, Phoenix really nailed it down well, even to Cash’s mannerisms, and Witherspoon was pretty captivating at times.
Did you know that Phoenix and Witherspoon performed all of the songs themselves? They also played the auto harp and guitar themselves, too. That’s impressive.
Since the story focused heavily on Cash’s rough side, I can see how this will be unlikeable to certain viewers. If you can get past its character flaws and focus on its strong central performance, you’ll find it entertaining.
This is a solid music biopic and because of the music genre (country) the appeal and connection will certainly vary from person to person. I love both I Walk the Line and Ring of Fire songs.

On stage he was a legendary outlaw of music ... but off stage he was still just that silly carefree little boy who loved to sing.

I knew nothing about Johnny Cash when I went to see this in the theater, and wow was I blown away as an all-new fan of 'The Man in Black'. I was surprised how much more I liked Joaquin Phoenix's versions of the songs, when I first listened to what Cash actually sounded like. I adore every moment of the music in Walk the Line, but the home life stuff bummed me…
