Walk The Line (2005)
March 3, 2006 by randomguru
My Rating: 9/10
I am obviously a sucker for movies about musicians and entertainers. And though I like Country music, I was never really a big fan of the Country & Western genre. Granted, my Father loved Country & Western, and I remember when I was little… riding in the family car while listening to KSON (the local Country & Western station) on the car radio.
But I also remembered that LIVE recording from Folsom Prison, because my Dad had the album…
So, I just finished watching “Walk The Line” yesterday. It’s an excellent movie, and Joaquin Phoenix and Reese Witherspoon both give Oscar calibre performances respectively as Johnny Cash and June Carter.
Actor Robert Patrick (Terminator 2, X-Files, Ladder 49, Firewall) gives a great performance as Johnny Cash’s Dad.
I didn’t know that June Carter wrote the song, “Ring of Fire”, one of my favorite songs that Johnny Cash turned into a big hit.
the taste of love is sweet
when hearts like ours meet
i fell for you like a child
oh, but the fire went wild
—-Ring of Fire, by June Carter & Merle Kilgore
Anyway, I recommend this one if you haven’t seen it yet. I wasn’t really interested in the movie when it was out in the theaters… and I’m glad I finally got to rent it on DVD. Two thumbs up!
