Walk the Line

Is it just me or did Reese Witherspoon look absolutely gorgeous for the entirety of this movie? Meanwhile, Joaquin Phoenix, alternated between looking like crap and a badass. I am having a hard time figuring out how to critique this movie. There really weren't any sore spots that I could point out. Yet, on the flip side, there aren't that many blatant strengths to point out either. Dispite these facts, I would say that the movie was very good. I believe the reason it garnered so many nominations was due to the incredible performances by Reese and Joaquin, not the storyline/plot. I found myself feeling sorry for the majority of the movie for Johnny's wife Vivian (played by Ginnifer Goodwin). She knows full well that Johnny doesn't love her like he does June (Witherspoon), yet for some reason she stayed with him. My favorite scene from the movie is during the detox period for Johnny in his large cabin-style home. The Carter family makes temporary residence there to aid Johnny through the process, and as the pill-pusher shows up to proved Cash with his next fix, he is ran off by June's father with a shot gun. Now that's family.
