Walk the Line (2005)
Director: James Mangold
Writter: Johnny Cash, Gill Dennis
Starring: Joaquin Phoenix, Reese Witherspoon, Ginnifer Goodwin
This movie is about a country music legend Johnny Cash's life. When he was younger he would be picking cotton in Arkansas with his family. He went off to the army and there is where he got into music and started writing his music. Later on in life he had settled down and had some children and than decided to make a record. He became famous from his country music and he recorded with Elvis Presley, Jerry Lee Lewis, and Carl Perkins. In this movie it shows that Johnny had a drug problem and how he delt with that, also his issues with his father.
I think that the actor who played Johnny Cash did a great job. It's like he was really him and lived his life style. They did good research for this movie and acted it well.
