"We've been on cloud nine since October when they agreed to come to our school and do a concert." "We're so stoked about this," Theine said. Second, and more importantly, the community will be able to enjoy a toe-tapping good time April 10 at River Ridge's gym. Army Field Band Jazz Ambassadors coming to Lacey was a double blessing.įirst, Theine, the band director at River Ridge High School who scheduled the concert, will be able to hear the jazzy sound himself in person. Like the film, this song is entertaining, sweet, and more intelligent than frequently given credit for.For John Theine, the news about the U.S. Ring of Fire and Jukebox Blues allow the audience to get their toes tapping, but my favourite number is the performance of Jackson, where their unmatched chemistry is showcased in one of my favourite songs of all-time. There's also great fun to be had in the musical numbers. Each of Reese's costumes captures the mood of her characters. The dressing of Cash is inspired, but it is June's clothes floral print, pink, domestic, or snazzy, that, again, steal the show. The look and feel of Johnny's time are captured well in the set design and T-Bone Burnett guitar-led score, and the costumes are nothing short of sublime. Witherspoon here radiates a strong, feminist, yet effortlessly lovable vibe, and every scene she appears in, she steals. For the audience, she can be goofy and lovable, but alone, with Johnny, she displays a vulnerable side. She makes June a truly memorable, Crouchesque, person. Although many have disliked Witherspoon's work her, I simply adore it. She plays the singer-songwriter-country music star that grabbed the attentions of Johnny Cash, but proved a hard win, forcing him to quit his narcotic dependence and violent self-destruction before she'd consider him. But the shining star of the film is Reese Witherspoon, as June Carter Cash. His singing voice resembles that of Cash's, yet he never resorts to downright imitation, which only adds to the viewing pleasure. Phoenix captures the tortured soul of Cash eloquently in one of his finest performances, and one that exudes that dangerous yet enthralling edge of danger present in Cash. When they're together, they both dazzle, gelling perfectly, whether it's a bout of verbal jesting, they're doing a duet, or just chatting. Holding the film together are the Oscar-nominated and Oscar-winning figures of Joaquin Phoenix and Reese Witherspoon, and their chemistry pretty much carries the film. In real life, Johnny and June didn't get together until 20 years since their first meeting, and that they could wait that long for each other, is quite poignant. It is as a romance that Walk the Line truly shines. Covering 20 years of his life, including Cash's rise into fame and delve into near-self-destruction, James Mangold concentrates on the key things in his life his music, the drugs, and his all-consuming, untameable love for the very special June Carter Cash. As it turned out, Johnny gets the film he deserves, and, what's more, Walk the Line got me extremely interested in the work of his wife, June Carter Cash.
Johnny Cash is one of my favourite country singers, nay, singers of all time, and I was unsure as whether, as with other mediocre biopics, namely the flashy Ray, could do him enough justice. Before watching this film, I had my doubts.
