I don’t see too many movies these days, but I did see this and I really enjoyed it. I did know about Cash’s strong religious beliefs and was disappointed it didn’t really incorporate that into the movie but I figure that’s Hollywood these days.

I guess I seen a different movie…
The Walk the Line I seen:
Had Cash questioning Sam Phillips as to whether he didnt think he was a good christian
It showed Cash singing a hymn
It showed Cash agreeing to let June bring him to a community baptist church after his first drug bout where he knew all would know him…
On a side note:
Cash’s brother talked about being a preacher…and mentioned seeing angels on his deathbed…
The movie ended in 1968…what do people expect? If you want everything read a few books on him…the movie was fine in that regard…it didnt need more religion.
The movie didnt need to show Cash praying everyday or going to church constantly to get across he had faith…but for some its never enough…if the movie would have showed even more religion, I am sure some here would say how sad it was he wasnt a catholic…

I thought it an excellent movie. Period.
Not knowing much about Cash’s life prior to June, I don’t know how he could have been “devoted” to Christianity and been chasing after June when he was married with 3 kids, and drinking and drugging.
Maybe his marriage to June brought him to his “enduring obsession” with Christianity but the film ending in 1968 would not have shown that aspect of his life, if so.
In any case, both Reese and Joaquin deserve accolades for their excellent portrayals.

Knowing his strong devotion, even pre-68, what is included seemed like a bit of pandering to me, which is unfortunate.
I read an account where the screenwriter for instance was incredulous when Cash insisted that he and June didn’t have pre-marital relations due to their faith, except for one instance they always regretted and never repeated. That one encounter, shown in the movie, leads the viewer to believe they did have premarital sex encounters, I guess in order to make it more “relevant”. Pretty sad, but that’s why I said that’s Hollywood these days.
Just my opinion.

Here we go with Hollywood yet again.
Haven’t seen it, so when I do, I’ll post.

I know, bad taste for bashing the industry during their “high holy days”
I’m sure you’ll like the film as I did - I really thought Joachim Phoenix did an excellent job. I’m biased as he’s one of my favorite actors, but to me “Hollywood” just isn’t as fun as it used to be. :twocents:

I loved the old Hollywood. I’m positive I’ll adore the film!
