English For me, the movie that showed me that biographical films can be and are interesting, which has been confirmed in recent years to some extent, although of course not with every piece. Just remember "Behind the Candelabra!" Joaquin Phoenix inexplicably did not win an Oscar, despite his brilliant performance in which he managed everything, including singing. By the way, another reason why the film is excellent - Johnny Cash's songs. ()

English Walk the Line is a musical biopic in the mold of Ray, but it’s a bit more sincere and concise, without so much Hollywood artifice, which can only be a good thing. Plus the superb duo of Joaquin Phoenix and Reese Witherspoon. If only they would start making such movies about directors, which are closer to my heart than musicians, with the same degree of love… ()

English I guess I've waited too long, because I've been sucked in a lot by various biographies or other films from the country and early rock and roll scene. I no longer see Walk the Line as above average anymore. I'm more bothered by the fact that the filmmakers only chose the romance with his second wife June from Johnny Cash's biography. It may have been enough for Oscar-winning performances by Joaquin Phoenix and Reese Witherspoon, but it said almost nothing about the breadth of the phenomenon. ()

English In the world of cinema, there is perhaps nothing more perfect than when life itself writes the story. I was never a huge fan of Johnny Cash, finding his work somewhat outdated for its time, but after watching this film, everything changed in an instant. Much of the credit for this surely goes to the mesmerizing Joaquin Phoenix, who seems to have blended into the character of the famous musician, so fully and truly putting himself into the role. Most likely, his fascinating performance also spurred Reese Witherspoon on, as she gave her best and became his equal partner in the role of his fateful love. I have to give a huge shout-out to both of them, as they shone not only as actors but also as singers and indelibly imprinted their hearts on Walk the Line. The soundtrack has such a laid-back vibe that I'm tempted to get it. From a filmmaking point of view, there is virtually nothing to fault with this spectacle. (90%) ()

English Some movies will thoroughly change you, even with a proper distance. I mocked the country at the time of watching, Reese I more or less ignored, and everything was suddenly different after the screening. Although I don't actively listen to Cash, I took all the life warnings that Walk the Line subtly throws one after another to heart, and (however pathetically it may sound) I would like to believe that they helped me several times to turn correctly at the most important crossroads. This biographical spectacle is not among my top ten, not even among my top fifty. However, there is so much truth in it regarding temptations, difficult decisions, love, and career, that I once put Phoenix's portrait from the cartoon poster in my avatar - and I have kept it there until today. A personal film in the most obvious sense of the word. ()
