Walk the Line (DVD, 2006, Widescreen)

was not a big fan of Jonny Cash's music before seeing this film, and it really does not matter if you were a fan or not the film is simply brilliant. At it's core this is a story of Cash's difficult childhood and his long running love for his backing singer June Carter. The acting by the two principal actors, Joaquin Phoenix and Reese Witherspoon is of the highest order and it was not until after watching the film that I found out they both sang thier parts. Neither stray into pastiche impersonations, which would have been an easy trap with a well known character like Cash.
For me this was even better than "Ray" (and I was a big fan of Ray Charles), which has many parallels in the story.
Deserves the accolades it has received, see it you will love it.
