Une voix en or, un destin tragique

Story was pretty good but I am sorry. .. Jewel was too pretty to pull off June Carter....,June was kind of on the homely side to me. And sang a little load for me .And he was no where near a Johnny Cash ...Johnny was not good looking in my opinion but alot better looking then this guy...and his singing was the pits. I had to hit mute everytime he opened his mouth. I watched Walk the line a few years ago and those two pulled it off with a lot more eaze. 0nly someone who really likes jewel wound give this movie a five or better. They pretty much skipped over her marriages to anyone but Johnny. ..

This was a horrible, horrible movie!! The Ross dude was TORTURE to watch; they must have just pulled him in off the street!!! I loved "I Walk the Line," and I was so looking forward to a movie from June's perspective. This may be a movie from June's perspective, but I didn't think that Jewel would be the best actor in the movie!!! The director and the cameramen must have all been high or drunk. Worst movie I have seen in years!!!

"I fell for you like a child, oh but the fire went wild." June Carter (Jewel) is a member of country musics most famous family. After two failed marriages and a successful music career she finally gives in and marries country's bad boy, Johnny Cash (Ross). She then starts her new life singing, playing, raising kids and trying to keep Johnny clean. Some prove more difficult then others. Just about everyone know the story of these two icons. I am a huge Johnny Cash fan and even though this was a Lifetime movie I was still looking forward to seeing it. I do have to admit that Jewel did a pretty good job of playing June in this but no where close to how good Reese Witherspoon was. As far as the guy playing Johnny Cash...it would have been hard to even come close to Joaquin Phoenix but this guy was just bad. His acting was OK, but he looked and sounded nothing like him. In fact the whole movie I thought the guy looks more like Merle Haggard then Johnny Cash. As far as the actual movie "Walk The Line" dealt with Cash's drug problems fairly harsh but also had the music mixed in. This movie is more of a bio-pic of June Carter, but it's pretty much her helping Johnny get sober over and over. I know it's Lifetime and it does show how strong June was, but after the third scene of her telling Johnny he has to stop it becomes very repetitive and really starts to lose some of the emotion. Do not be like me and go in expecting a Johnny Cash movie with music, that's not what this is. Overall, Jewel does a good job but this is nothing like I expected. I give it a B-.

As a lifelong fan of JC, I watched this for the story, knowing the telling of it wasn't going to be good. It made me angry to watch this shamefully bad production, but that is the general feeling anyone with any sense has when watching anything Lifetime puts out. Maybe I'm spoiled because Joaquin Phoenix actually made an effort. Who is this loser playing the Master? Ironically, Jewell is one of my favorite singers after JC, so it was nice seeing her playing June, I feel like she did alright with what she had to work with. I'm glad I watched it, because of the story, but I really didn't enjoy it at all. Shame on Lifetime. As usual.

Although some readers compare this movie to Walk The Line, I disagree. This new movie focuses more on the life of June Carter Cash & the tremendous love she had for Johnny Cash. She stood by him through his addiction and helped him recover. Jewel was excellent in her part of June Carter Cash - her mannerisms were "spot on". Although I have given it 10 stars, I found that the actor who played Johnny Cash was unbelievable as the singer. Other than that I found the movie very enjoyable and recommend it to others. Get ready to shed a few tears at the end. An interesting fact is that Johnny Cash died only four months after June Carter Cash died. I think he died of heartbreak after losing her.
