"Music is the space between the notes."- Claude Debussy

Walk the Line (James Mangold, 2005), being a biography of Johnny Cash’s life and its realistic elements makes the film very realistic. The smooth editing and directing makes the audience feel they are truly getting an insight into Johnny Cash’s life. It uses classic Hollywood styles and techniques such as the three act narrative structure, known lead actors, and invisible editing. The actors have done a great job with portraying the people in the film. Both Joaquin Phoenix and Reese Witherspoon's performances are exceptional. Phoenix sounding much like Johnny Cash. Walk the Line is a feel good movie with the Rock and Roll music track, while at the same time exploring the themes of love, drugs and stardom. Even if not a fan of Johnny Cash a great film to see the acting and music.
