Walk the Line (2005)
Absolutely Wonderful!!
We went to see the film "Walk The Line" to hear the music, but were smitten by the acting of Joaquin and Reece - they WERE Johnny Cash and June Carter. We never realised the love story between the two and it was amazing. It really captured the era, and brought the 1950s and 60s to life. What amazing people they were, and their love for one another was the overriding message in the film - no one anywhere could come between them - they were one! We had to go back and see the film again, and since then have bought the CD of the film and three other Johnny Cash/June Carter CDs. We are eagerly awaiting the release of the DVD in May 2006. If you haven't seen this film, then GO! It's a MUST!
Some People (1962)
A great film of its time and now historically relevant too.
I first saw this film when I was 14 years old and have loved it ever since. It captured the atmosphere of the early 1960s perfectly and is a true snapshot of the times.
I can remember sitting in the cinema surrounded by other teenagers all dressed in black leather jackets, tight blue jeans and winkle-pickers. I can also remember seeing countless trails of blue smoke rising to the ceiling, as everyone smoked in the cinema in those days.
The music is also very typical of the time, and I am lucky enough to have the 45rpm E.P. of the soundtrack by Valerie Mountain and the Eagles.
I would love to see the film again, but I have only seen it on television once, and that was probably about 20 years ago. It was filmed in Bristol and I know that the city has changed considerably since then, so it is now of interest not only for the content and story, but also for the location in which it was shot.
I think this film is priceless and I cannot understand why it seems to have disappeared altogether. Perhaps it will be shown on TV again sometime?
