MCT:May 15, 2008Apparently Cash is a cheat'n drug'n low down dirty son of gun. The whole movie is just about Cash trying to get in this girl's pants, who was not his wife. Snooze.

MCT:May 15, 2008I loved this film. Joaquin Phoenix and Reese Witherspoon are awesome. I love Johnny Cash and would take him over Elvis any day...

MCT:May 13, 2008I didn't really know much about Johnny Cash other than he played country-style rock prior to seeing this movie. So I'm not exactly sure how accurate the story was regarding his life. Still, I personally feel that the film was just awesome. I just love movies with "many layers". Aside from that, casting Joaquin Phoenix to play Cash on screen was such a terrific choice. Lastly, as biased as this may sound, casting Reese Witherspoon to play opposite Joaquin in this movie was a great decision on the director's side too. I would've never thought that Resse's bubbly and exuberant nature would create a good contrast against Phoenix's brooding and gloomy mien.

MCT:May 12, 2008For those of you out there hating biopics: this one is for you. Wisely enough, instead of trying to show in a matter of 3 hours (because those damned biopics are long!) the whole existance of a human being, from troubled childhood to drugs and tragic death, James Mangold focuses on Cash's torrid relationship with his wife June Carter and the struggle of June to save his best friend and future husband from the abyss of failure, drugs and self-torture.
Thanks to Joaquin Phoenix's flawless abilty to go deep into Cash's dark soul and creating such a delicious and innocent, yet dark character, the movie is more than just a biopic and it's almost as if Mangold had created a deep love story out of two tridimensional characters, famous or not. Joaquin's out-of-this-world voice (a homage to Cash instead of just an impersonation) completes the circle of perfection and makes this one of the truly best films ever made about rock and roll or simply music in general.
It's clear that Reese Witherspoon's performance is terrific and reaches extraordinary depths and peaks (and what a voice she has!) but I'm still sore about her undeserved win at the 2005 Oscars when it was clear Felicity Huffman's ability and talent were absolutely bigger than Reese's. She's great but there were better female performances that year. Fortunately, that's not important when watching her in such a lovable, cute, mature performance.
This is a masterpiece. Maybe just because of the two leads' voices and performances or maybe because it's better than almost every single biopic of the last 20 years, but there's no doubt about this movie's charm and magic. Johnny Cash is proud. -

Finally got hold of this. Wanted to see it as I've just finished Johnny's autobiography and got into his tunes too. It was very good. Yes i was disapointed that it ended when he and June got married, but was still very moving from the start. Great acting, but could have had more of the strange and funnt tales from his life in there. Also could have been more on his Christian faith. But it had to sell at box office. Very entertaing and good biopic.Not just for country or Cash fans.

This movie really had me involved in Johnny Cash's story. It entranced me with all the musical numbers and the two main characters Cash and June Carter. What a pair they were and made fantastic music together. Joaquin Phoenix did a great job portraying Cash. But who stole the show and did a phenomenal job was Reese Witherspoon. I just loved her in Vanity Fair and new she had talent. What also is great about this film is that they do their own singing which makes it even better to watch. A wonderful soundtrack to back up the film of the year in 2005. 4 1/2 stars

Brilliant amazing acting and singing from Jaoquin and Renee could've focused a little more on the life of J.C for me though and gone on a little longer i wanted to see up to when he records with Rick Rubin of Hip Hop fame.

I totally love this movie!!! Joaquin Phoenix is so great! When you watch this film you totally forget that he's not really Johnny Cash and that he's only playing him - his performance is so, so, so fantastic! I can't believe he didn't the Best Actor Oscar - what were they thinking?!!!
