Walk the Line (Extended Cut)
Love is a burning thing.
"One of the year's best movies" (Access Hollywood) is now one of the year's best DVDs! This definitive 2-disc Extended Cut includes an all-new cut of the film plus extended musical sequences featuring Joaquin Phoenix and Reese Witherspoon, an audio commentary by Co-Writer and Director James Mangold, deleted scenes and seven in-depth featurettes about the film and the Man in Black.
Academy Award Nominee Joaquin Phoenix (Gladiator) is Johnny Cash, the legendary Man in Black who rebelled against convention, revolutionized the world of music, and always walked his own path. But his troubled childhood, outlaw persona and unbridled talent led him on a path of reckless self-destruction. Reese Witherspoon (Sweet Home Alabama) won an Oscar for her brilliant performance as June Carter, the love of Johnny's life and the woman who ultimately must save him from himself.

Joaquin Phoenix deserved an Oscar for his portrayal, but it was just his bad luck. Not only did he have to compete against Phillip Seymour Hoffman, but also against the fact, that one year earlier Jamie Foxx had won an Academy Award for the portrayal of Ray Charles ... two Oscars in a row for playing in a biopic about a musicians life? Not a chance, although it would've been more than appropriate.
I didn't know much about Johnny Cash, before I watched the movie, I have to admit, so I'm sure other people can comment on how accurate this depicts the real events. But still I was amazed by the life and struggle of this man. Watch it, if you can (-> have the time).Fantastic Singing - Survivor
This was a very good movie. I learned alot about Johnny Cash that I never knew although I did know who he was and some of his songs. The two main characters were superbly acted and the singing was absolutely phenomenal. The movie took several months to come but was worth it. After the movie I was so intrigued that I did some further research on Johnny Cash and listened to some of the songs played my both Johnnny Cash and as a duet with his wife. I have to admit that I liked the songs and the singing but almost preferred the singing in this movie. It was that good!
