Walk the Line Movie
The biopic depicts the life of Johnny Cash (Joaquin Phoenix), a legendary country and rock-and-roll singer-songwriter. The early years of his life were saddened by his elder brother's tragic death and his father's scornful attitude towards him (his dad considered Cash to be a bad son). The soon-to-be musician served in the United States Air Force in Germany. After his discharge Cash married his sweetheart, Vivian Liberto (Ginnifer Goodwin), who gave birth to four daughters. But their marriage was not without shadows as he neglected his family duties and devoted all his time and energy mainly to playing the guitar and singing along with his two close friends. At the age of 23, he released his first hit "Cry Cry Cry" and soon went on a tour of the USA, along with Jerry Lee Lewis (Waylon Payne), Elvis Presley (Tyler Hilton) and June Carter (Reese Witherspoon). He adored June and her songs since he was a kid. When their paths crossed, he came to realize that June was a woman of his dreams. He had been trying to win her hand for several years. The critical moments in his life were accompanied by his addiction to amphetamine and alcohol. In 1968, Cash and Carter got married and lived together long and happily till death did them part.
