“Walk The Line”

Posted by Jonah Weiland in Movies

I’ve been looking forward to this movie for a while now. My expectations were very high. I’ve tried to see it once before tonight, only to find the showing sold out. My anticipation grew even more. I was certain that I’d end up disappointed with expectations that high, but you know what? They weren’t. “Walk the Line” is a great, great movie.

I really don’t have a lot to say about this movie other than it was thoroughly satisfying for me. The last film I saw was “Good Night, And Good Luck,” which I enjoyed, but it was one of those movies where my expectations were super high and the film didn’t meet all of them. It’s good, but it’s not Johnny Cash good. The performances are great. The writing is great. The directing is great. It’s all great. What’s really great about the film is that you don’t have to be a Johnny Cash fan to enjoy it. His is such a compelling journey that you can’t help but become engrossed in it.

I hope one thing that comes as a result of this film is more people get a little Johnny Cash in their lives. It’s a worthy addition.

    I really enjoyed it.

    Mr. Phoenix is really an actors actor. He looses himself inside his characters. You know he isn’t the best looking man out there and maybe some were hoping for a more doppelganger Johnny Cash looker but if it’s true that talent is more than attractive then he is a total babe.

    Reese was great as well.
