Last night I headed to the movies with my parents for a 'family night' (fact check: yes, I am 19 years old...they just thought that us getting together now needs a 'title') Regardless, I took advantage of the free dinner/movie combination and we went to see 'Walk the Line', the biography of Johnny Cash (and June Carter Cash)... In brackets because she is obviously not the main character, but a very strong supporting character..
The movie was AMAZING, I totally fell into the trap of loving the country music of both June and Johnny, but I was amazed at the similarities between Ray (Ray Charles biography) and this film. Look at it like this: both were artists, from a family of two boys (less fortunate families), lost a sibling, went out on their own (military...can't remember what Ray did), started recording music, became addicted to drugs, and fell in love (with many trials along the way)...
that aside, the movie does tell a story that really does give you an idea of what the 50's was like (the audience's response to June) and it made Reese Witherspoon finally show some amazing talent...
Joaquin Pheonix (most likely spelt wrong) is creepy, but he did play a great 'man in black'...
Given that three huge movies are coming out over two weeks, this blog is going to be movie filled... (this, harry potter, rent)...
love it...
