Laikals The greatest movie ever made..!
GazerRise Fantastic!
KnotStronger This is a must-see and one of the best documentaries - and films - of this year.
Cissy Évelyne It really made me laugh, but for some moments I was tearing up because I could relate so much.
wikanet The film «Walk the Line» is based on the true story of the life and formation of the American singer and songwriter, a key figure in country music of the 20th century, Johnny Cash. I like starring actors in this film: Joaquin Phoenix and Reese Witherspoon. The film reveals the history not only of his musical path with all the ensuing consequences, but also the history of child-parent relations and how they affected in adult life. Also here between the lines it is well read that there is true Christianity. I can't say that I liked the movie. First of all, I can not understand why he was nominated for the award for best editing, because the first half of the film is mounted frankly bad, and all the sudden leaps in time and the complete absence of logic transitions spoil the impression. Well, personally for me, watching this movie was just as hard as reading the biography of Elvis Presley in 13 years. Perhaps for those who are well acquainted with the work of the singer and are involved in the time period, about which the film was shot - he will prove to be good. For me, this film is "passing through". Of the positive points: Naturally, many moments were predictable. And what's new in a musician's life? But that's what pleased me, so this is the end of this story. Usually, such characters end their lives sadly and early. This is not a musical, but music is present here, in large numbers. And of course, a great acting, worthy of their awards and nominations for this film, was pleased.
merelyaninnuendo Walk The LineThe feature clocks for more than 2 hours where the actors and the characters suffer for art that is achingly good and pleasurable to watch but unfortunately it chews off way too much to make the same predictable point that it easily could have quite earlier. James Mangold's brilliant execution and depiction of Johnny Cash clearly displays his love and emotion for him that James doesn't fail to express it in here on any level. Joaquin Phoenix is stunning on his portrayal of Johnny Cash and is supported nicely by Reese Witherspoon throughout the course of the feature. Walk The Line has stellar performance on its side along with brilliant execution, but lacks completely on other factors like gripping screenplay, better editing and a fresh intake on biographies which it had a window to go for.
Olesya Gumannikova Walk the Line is a delightful and plausible biographical music drama of 2005. This movie reveals the life story of the great musician Johnny Cash. We see his childhood and the way he became a star. In the picture we witness his relationship with his second wife. We see an amazing life story of a talented man, whose life was full of different events: incredible ups and downs, the tragic loss of his beloved, and the meeting with true love ...The film is interesting and atmospheric. I really liked this musical drama. I enjoy biographical films and this one is inspiring, and the story of John Cash is shown realistically. Joaquin Phoenix is a talented and good actor, and starring in this drama he looked decent and acted gorgeously. The role of talented Cash is extremely complex and contradictory, but Phoenix coped with it with a bang. Reese Witherspoon fascinated me in this movie. She acted so charmingly and cleanly that she even got an Oscar for this role. I liked the duet of these actors and it was nice to watch them together. Walk the Line is a strong, beautiful, and clean film that revealed to us a bright and realistic life of an excellent musician, and it's definitely worth watching.
mani_ch This film describes the time when rock 'n' roll was a new trend in music. The author was able to accurately convey the atmosphere of that time. The film reveals the history of not only the musical path, but also the history of child-parent relations and how they affected in adult life. Songs Joni Kesch wrote from the experiences of life. The film is collected from the most significant moments of the singer's life. At an early age, strict education of the father and the tragic death of his brother. Further service in the army, the first wife and the beginning of creative activity. Getting acquainted with June Carter became a turning point for the singer both in his personal life and in his work, they start touring together and they have a romance. Then the black strip of Kesh's life is shown, this is the departure of the first wife with the child, the drug addiction of the singer and how Jun Carter and his family help get rid of it. The ending of the film was the moment when the beloved agrees to become his wife. The singer had to wait for a positive response for ten years. The film is at least a long one, but I liked it thanks to the actors' play.
