TBS 2 FILM REVIEW

Walk the Line (Movie)




I usually enjoy watching movies based on true to life story and listening to country music. So I can't really forget the movie "Walk the line." I've watched this movie recently. I'm still fascinated about good and touching stories. Walk the Line is an American biographical drama film directed by James Mangold in 2005. The cast of the film are Joaquin Pheonix and Reese Witherspoon. This is base on the life of country music artist Johnny Cash.

In this film, they highlighted his life story from the scratch until he become  famous from music industry. Even the bad things happened to him like habitual taking drugs and alcohol, afterwards his behaviour became erratic. He was a good husband and provider for his family but eventually fall in love to June Carter. However, this is the reality of life in which most of the artist in the music or movie industry turns into something  that you would not expect.

The acting is very good, especially the key scene or script line they convey in the film through the title of the song. Joaquin and Reese portray the characters really great as well as the song. Not only they are lookalike with real person but also they are the best suitable artist for that kind of film.

I would definitely recommend this film because of moral values that could get by the viewers. It's really a good movie and touching story. This was proven by being nominated for five Academic Awards. Joaquin and Reese won as the Best Actor and Best Actress in the Leading Role, along with many other recognitions.

If you get a chance, see the movie.
