Walk the line - Johnny Cash story

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0358273/

Cast overview, first billed only:
Joaquin Phoenix .... Johnny Cash
Reese Witherspoon .... June Carter

Believe the hype. It was an incredible movie. Starts off as him as a 12 year old who loses his perfect older brother and grows up feeling that his father wished that he had died instead. That there wasn't anything good he had done in his life and sets off on this path of self destruction. He marries his high school sweet heart but is in love most of his life with June Carter.

The move shows his struggle to be a father while being a singing sensation and a drug addict while in love with another singer he meets finally while on this country tour that featured Roy Orbison, Elvis, Jerry Lee Lewis (actor who plays him seems gay), and Buddy Holly.

One scene where Johnny and June are talking in this diner, back when they first met...the chemistry between the two is amazing. During a quick conversation, he tells her about his brother who died and it was probably the most powerful scene in the movie. Plus he looked FUCKING HOT!!!

If this doesn't get him an oscar nod, I don't know what would. :thumbsup
