Title: Johnny Cash - The Legend Of Johnny Cash
Post by: Rud on June 27, 2006, 02:17:40 AM: well, i watched Walk The Line early this year with no pre-conceptions and little knowledge of JC, just some of his famous tunes and was amazed by the film (Joaquin Phoenix deserved an oscar imo) - and recently downloaded and then bought the album "The Legend Of Johnny Cash" - love it, really thoroughly good album....just wondered if anyone else was an old fan or a new one as a result of the film? Im more than happy i got into it through the film, proves that a great story and well adapted movie can do wonders for latecomers to an artist...

I'm gonna go rent the movie this week...I might end up buying a JC album.

Post by: Trauma-san on June 27, 2006, 04:38:26 PM: Country music is very misunderstood and underrated, Johnny Cash was of course 1 of a kind, but there are several country musicians with similarly moving stories that would instantly make you fans if you got into it. Great movie, I loved it, especially Reese's portrayal of June Carter.

i think the movie is twice as better as "Ray" even tho they kinda remind me of each other.

Post by: Trauma-san on June 27, 2006, 10:02:40 PM: "Walk The Line" I would consider the best musical biography-type film I've ever seen. It's better than Ray, the Buddy Holly Story, La Bamba, Elvis & Me, Deadman's Curve, Great Balls Of Fire, The Temptations, honestly it's the best one anybody's ever done. The genius in it is that they made it about Johnny & June's love life instead of just about the music.
