In Reply to: Walk the Line... posted by mkuller on December 5, 2005 at 11:39:38:
there are just too many notes that ring false, that are done for obviously cinematic reasons. Example, the audition in the Sun studios, where Sam Phillips says play something of your own, where the sidemen protest "but we don't know that", and where the signature sound comes together over the course of the song. Example, the rock and roll show where he followed Jerry Lee Lewis and the audience was cool at the beginning, but standing and yelling at the end. Is there any music biopic that doesn't have the same scenes? Probably in fact I would have enjoyed a real documentary more. Fictionalized history rarely rings true. But then you've also got Capote, which is fictionalized biography, but which impressed me on every level. Walk the Line seemed quite superficial in comparison. Yes, you see the drug use, but do you ever really understand the drug use? Similar to the Elvis Presley miniseries that was on TV a few months ago. Well, the music was fine and the performances were very good, but I found this a little disappointing.
