Walk The Line
The chronicles of country crooner Johnny Cash. Overall the story was not as interesting as the movie Ray, although I was extremely impressed by the vocal talents of both Joachin Phoenix as Johnny Cash and Reese Witherspoon as June Carter.
I think Phoenix did a superb job of getting into the mind of Johnny Cash, and it shows in the intensity of Phoenix’s eyes. However, I have to admit that I was distracted by Phoenix’s lip scar. Yeah, I tried to overlook it at first but with all the closeups it’s kinda hard not to think about it.
They could also have cut out about 30 minutes of the movie, as it tended to drag a lot in the beginning. I expect Phoenix will still get at least a nomination or two for his work.
