Last night I was trying to decide which movie I wanted to watch...I decided upon "Walk the line." Sometimes I forget how truly amazing this movie is (to me at least). Years ago I saw it in movies and the minute it came out on DVD I was right there to buy it. But somehow over the years it got buried in the back of my DVD's. Lucky for me I dug and found it last night!!! And may I just say...Johnny Cash is a legend. He is simply one of the best. I grew up listening to him (my Grandpa is a big fan) and to this day I am in awww of how truly different his sound is. In a brilliant way!! When I origianlly heard that they were doing a movie about his life I was a bit worried. Those are some big shoes to fill. But I think Joaquin Phoenix potrayed him very well, and Reese Witherspoon can never do any harm. They did an amazing job.
I am in LOVE with her style in this movie!! |
Johnny Cash struggled with so many things in his life. Seeing the love between him and June was really what he needed. Seeing the 2 of them together really makes you believe in true, can't live without, do anything for love. When she died he died only 5 months later...that's love.
Now that is music.
Today just so happens to be Johnny's 80th Birthday if he was still alive.
I love Johnny Cash! And that film too.. that was where I discovered him :)
