                    [Summary] => Film review: Walk the Line


Translating the lives of music stars into film is a huge challenge for any director and this holds true whether the subject is Mozart (Amadeus) or Patsy Cline (Sweet Dreams). Milk the unfortunate events and you get a tearjerking melodrama. Tone it down and you lose the essence of the remarkable persona that made the legend. Hit a happy middle ground and you end up with a mediocre product, a sort of VH-1 Behind the Music documentary.

On paper, it seems exciting and inspired: focusing on the defining period of one man’s life to capture his entire being.
