Based on the autobiography by Johhny Cash,it is a story of the legandary singer and the woman who would become his second wife.

Johhny Cash (Joaquin Phoenix) was born as the second son of a poor Dyess, Arkansas sharecropper.When he was young, he lost his elder brother in a tragic accident. In the early 1950's he joined the Air Force and spend sometime in Germany. Shortly after he returned to USA, he settled in Memphis and married Vivian (Ginnifer Goodwin). She had big dreams of living a happy life with kids in the suburb but Johnny was strggling to make a living as a door to door salesman.

Whenever he had time Johnny used to compose some songs and formed a band with two of his friends. They managed to get an audition with Sam Phillip (Dallas Roberts) of Sun Records who was impressed by their gospal tunes. But Johnny delivers Sam a beautiful song that he wrote a while ago, that paved the way for his successful singing career. In the meantime, Johnny meets June (Reese Witherspoon) and they become friends. But he start to develope some drug habbits as a result of the pressure created by his own success. He also felt guilty about not spending any time with his family.

The rest of the film deals with his romance with June who helped him to get out of his drug problems and achieve an ever lasting stardoom.

Director James Mangold has skillfully crafted the rags to riches tale of the legendary Johnny Cash. He puts emphasis on Johnny's tough childhood life and the hardship he went through before he became a legend. He has selected a group of brilliant characters and let them grow with the story. He did mix some symbolism with the story to give the film a serious outlook.

Just like any other biopic of a successful star, this film also deals with hardship, misery, romance, drug dependency as well as stardom.

Joaquin Phoenix and Reese Witherspoon deliver a brilliant, Oscar worthy performance. Together they look great and have good chemistry. Phoenix sings very convincingly and very well portray Cash's compassion and gentleness. The music is great and the film is a good entertainer. It is emotionaly vibrant and a great tribute to legendary singer, his music and his life.

Even if you are not a Johnny Cash fan, you will enjoy this film. This is one of the best films of the year.

We rate this movie GOOD.
