Walk the lime is truly a gem. It is a great life story of a guy I honestly had no major interest in. It starred to great actors, Joaquin Phoenix and Reese Witherspoon as Johnny Cash and June Carter-Cash. It was... Full review

I cannot argue with the superb acting (and singing!) in this film, and, of course, the soundtrack is first rate. But the story seemed to revolve around Johnny's quest to get the girl he wanted, through trials with extra-marital flings, drug... Full review

But I don't feel quite satisfied that this film has given us the real Johnny Cash, and perhaps the biggest reason is that to me, Joaquin Phoenix is not Johnny Cash.
But along the way, he had a troubled and ultimately broken marriage with Vivian (Ginnifer Goodwin), an almost deadly affair with booze and pills, and a long romance with fellow singer June Carter (Reese Witherspoon).

Lastly, the scene in which Joaquin auditions for Dallas Roberts playing Sam Phillips is an amazing and bold piece of acting....Reese Witherspoon is even better as June Carter.....love their first meeting at a diner early in the film....James Mangold skillfully chronicles the details of Johnny Cash's hard life..... ...

On the basis of its own merits, Walk the Line is a good film.
Of the two, Ray was the better executed, while I enjoyed the music of Walk the Line more.
