Walk the Line

It’s been months since I watched a DVD at home. Last night's viewing of “Walk the Line”, the Johnny Cash story, was a welcome change of pace. I grew up listening to Johnny’s music (my mother was a big fan). The movie which documented his life from a young boy through his marriage to June Carter Cash held a few surprises. I had known virtually nothing of his early years, his marriage to Vivien or how he got his start in the music business. I certainly had no idea that he had pined for June Carter since he was a young man; they had toured together while both married to others early in his career. Joaquin Phoenix and Reese Witherspoon certainly do Johnny and June’s music justice.

I highly recommend this movie even if you are not a Johnny Cash fan.
