Have you seen this movie yet, starring Jauquin Pheonix and Reese Witherspoon? It's the life story of the singer Johnny Cash. Hubby and I saw it for the first time last night. It was a very intersting story. It showed him as a boy, and some of the trials he went through, straight through till he became a star. His struggles with drug addiction and his love for June Carter, even though he was already married with children.
I really enjoyed this movie. There were parts of it that made me hang my head, such as the drug use and sleeping with younger girls while he was married, but that was the life he lived.

Over all I give this movie a thumbs up. If you haven't seen it yet, go and rent it. If you have seen it, what did you think of it?

No, I have never seen this movie before. It sounds like an documentary movie. I would like to see this.happy

It's not really a documentary, it's a movie, it's just based on Johnny Cash's real life. It's worth checking out.

Yes, I saw it a while back. Apparently the guy in it Jauquin Pheonix wants to give up acting to persue a singing carreer. I don't know why he can not do both. The movie is pretty good though. I felt sorry for his wife she got a raw deal in the marriage that is for sure. He certainly did some shady things. But the movie was well done over all.

I heard about that, but I don't think it will pan out. I think he'll be back to movie making before you know it.

This is my husband's all time favorite movie. He loved Johnny Cash, so I bought this for him on DVD almost as soon as it came out. I liked this movie too. I don't think anyone could have played the part of Johnny Cash better then Jauquin Pheonix. It's sad though because it seems in real life Jauquin Pheonix is going down the same road that Johnny Cash once did. Maybe he too will find his June Carter & become clean & sober once again.

I sure hope he does. He's a talented actor, and rather cute too. I've loved all the movies I've seen him in.

It is indeed a good movie. I've seen it a couple of times, a bit of a different "love story" in that you end up being sympathetic to a guy cheating on his wife.

LOL, how true is that? I actually felt like the wife was being mean when she told June Carter to stay away from her kids, I was rooting for June and John to get together. It was wrong, I know, he should have stayed with his first wife, she was a good woman... but that's not what was meant to be.

I thought it was really good too. And it supported all the stories I have heard about Johnny Cash and June Carter. I would really like to see it again.

After I saw the movie I looked up the 2 of them on the internet to learn more about them, and discovered the movie was quite true to their stories. It's nice to see that, and it didn't leave much out really.

I have seen the film . It was great. I only knew a little of Johnny's story. I had to see Reese won the Oscar. It was a perfect role for her.What was a great plus is that both Reese and Joaquin did their own singing. The only song with the real Johnny and June is the one at the end during the end credits.Amazing.
