WALK THE LINE
_______________________________
What a great movie this was. I was really impressed by Mr. Phoenix's ability to sing like the late, great Mr. Cash.

I am really glad that Mr. Cash personaly chose Phoenix to play him in this biopic. I found the movie to be very romatic, glorifying Mr Cash for all that he was and very little that he was not. I had no idea what a wonderful lady June Carter Cash was, rest her soul. I can only hope to have as much fortitude and grace as that magnificent woman. Johnny cash was not a perfect man, not someone to look up to per se. He is one of my herores because he was just a regular man.....he fought his demons. It was interesting to see the portrayal of Mr. Cash's first marriage. The movie made that poor girl seem like quite the uppity thing. She never really stood behind him, it was always what he could do for her. As the child of a travelling musician, I watched my dad go through similar problems, and I never once saw my mother act like this woman treated him. Then again, my mother was a solid lady, and never had to worry about my dad having wandering eyes, because she was everything he needed and took care of him.
