Walk The Line



My Mom -&- Dad grew up while Johnny was in his "prime" -&- they shared their love for his music with me!?!
I grew up when Johnny was a legend -&- I still love his music!?!
This movie was based loosely on the life of John R. Cash -&- it has been said he had final approval of it before his death!?!
It is an awesome movie -&- it is a movie I can watch time -&- time again!?!


Joaquin Phoenix as John R. Cash
Reese Witherspoon as June Carter
Ginnifer Goodwin as Vivian Cash

"While growing up in the Great Depression era, Johnny Cash takes an interest in music and eventually moves out of his Arkansas town to join the air force in Germany. While there, he buys his first guitar and writes his own music, and proposes to Vivian. When they got married, they settled in Tennessee and with a daughter, he supported the family by being a salesman. He discovers a man who can pursue his dreams and ends up getting a record with the boys. Shortly after that, he was on a short tour, promoting his songs, and meets the already famous and beautiful June Carter. Then as they get on the long-term tours with June, the boys, and Jerry Lee Lewis, they have this unspoken relationship that grows. But when June leaves the tour because of his behavior, he was a drug addict. His marriage was also falling apart, and when he sees June years later at an awards show, he forces June to tour with them again..."


Today I am thankful my parents shared their love of great music with me!?!
