The Walk the Line DVD brings home James Mangold's 2005 film about Johnny Cash, with Joaquin Phoenix as the Man in Black and Reese Witherspoon as June Carter. Witherspoon won the Academy Award for Best Actress for the role, and both stars did their own singing.
This is a pre-owned copy in Good condition. It is a standard DVD, so it plays in any DVD player and in Blu-ray players as well.
Walk the Line opens with Cash's 1968 concert at Folsom State Prison, then goes back to his childhood in Arkansas. It follows his audition and signing with Sun Records, his rise in country music and his long, complicated romance with June Carter, along with his struggle with drug addiction.
Ginnifer Goodwin plays Cash's first wife, Vivian, and Robert Patrick plays his father, Ray Cash. Dallas Roberts appears as Sun Records owner Sam Phillips, Shelby Lynne plays Carrie Cash, and Tyler Hilton plays Elvis Presley.
Phoenix performed all of Cash's vocals for the film and its soundtrack, working with a voice coach to lower his voice. Witherspoon sang her own parts too and learned to play the autoharp for the role.
Besides Witherspoon's Oscar, the film received Academy Award nominations for Best Actor, Best Sound Mixing, Best Costume Design and Best Film Editing. It won three Golden Globes: Best Motion Picture (Musical or Comedy), Best Actor for Phoenix and Best Actress for Witherspoon.
The soundtrack also won a Grammy for Best Compilation Soundtrack for visual media. Fox released the film on DVD on February 28, 2006, and the DVD sold three million copies on its first day.

Great Film
A truly great film. Joaquin Phoenix should have won the Best Actor Oscar (he was nominated). Although it follows the standard tropes of this sort of celebrity bio — humble beginnings, stardom, fall into drugs/alcohol/redemption — the performances and, especially, the music, raise it above the formula. Sound and picture on the BluRay are crisp and vibrant. Highly recommended.

Johnny Cash music – what more needs to be said?
Excellent and well-acted movie (Joaquin Phoenix was deprived of the Oscar – it should have been his for this role!) Subject matter is a bit intense, with a lot of drug and alcohol-fueled pain and suffering. But, their abiding love story (all true) is one for the ages. Definite date night or adults-only movie; not for children or youth. Incredible music and performances by both Joaquin and Reese. Highly recommend. Five stars!
