Movie Review: Walk the Line

Went and saw a sneak preview of Walk the Line tonight...it was fantastic. It was much more about the relationship between Johnny Cash and June Carter than I expedted. It only focused on part of his life (1944-1968), but I guess that is when the most dramatic bits happened. The movie did a good job exploring the creative process; little flashes of something became inspirations for songs, and then the songs developing more fully. Jaoquin Pheonix and Reese Witherspoon were great and mesmerizing, and I still can't believe that it was them singing in the movie...absolutely amazing---but they had great material to work with also.
