I Walk the Line I also found in our personal DVDs. It is the story of
Johnny Cash (Joaquin Phoenix) and June Carter (Reese Witherspoon). I
assume the actors are singing the songs in the movie, and do an
admirable job. I get carried away by the music, but more so by the
characters of John Cash and June Carter. John Cash was tormented by a
poor relationship with his father, and by the death of his older brother
in an accident with a saw. I guess this combined with the stress of his
career lead to drug addiction. Another consequence of his lifestyle
was the dissolving of his marriage. June is instrumental in helping
overcome drugs for a period, and following his being sober for six
months they become engaged. Drug addiction was a lifelong struggle for
Johnny Cash, and the movie portrays the consequences drugs can have.
