Walk The Line: Movie review (7/10)

Hi my name is Chulupu. I know you all know me, its a just a qoute from the movie "Walk the line", just replace chulupu with Johnny Cash and you would get. "Hi my name is Johnny Cash".
Now apart from the above phrase which for some reason I love it, for a famous performer going on stage everytime stating the same phrase despite people knows already who is, shows style and humblness.
Otherwise the movie overall was okay, a bit above average, and if it wasnt for the superior acting skills from both Reese Witherspoon and Joaqin Phoneix, it would have probably fail. First of all the movie was long, I managed to keep my eyes open through out, my wife slept halfway though.. But again its the acting that made it worthwhile.
But alas, a strong message came out from the movie, that being a star, it takes twice as much hard work to walk the link of stardom than of it from the a normal person. And I think I belive that, let see
1) Elvis Persely, was a junkie and eventually died
2) Maradona, start sniffing, gained weight and lost his limelight
3) Michael Jackson cant decide whether he is black or white. Thus he settled to go after kids instead
And the list continues, so did Johnny cash managed to walk the link, well as far as the movie is concerned he did and very well at it as well.
for those who appreciate good acting and storyline, the movie is definetly for you.
