 Heart was something that Cash was never short on. In fact, the heart holds a major part in telling the story. And if you’re wondering what I mean by heart, I mean the love shared between John and June. Before the Walk the Line project was put into the works, and before Johnny gave the project his blessing, Joaquin had chance to meet the Cash family. After they had eaten a hearty meal, everyone sat around as Johnny began to strum his guitar with that one of a kind “twang” associated with his style. Johnny then turned to June and asked her to sing with him, On the River Jordan as Joaquin recalls. “I’m cynical about duets, and married people singing songs, cause think of Sonny and Cher. And there was such truth and honesty and beauty and you really got the sense that this is what they’re really like.” The spirituality of their relationship, the purity of it was something that Joaquin took away from their time spent together and was later able to use in preparing for the role of Cash. “It was amazing meeting him. What I really took from it, what really helped me with the film was seeing John and June together and this very special dynamic they had… For me what I was most surprised about was their relationship and their enduring love and their romance which I knew so little about, which was unbelievably inspirational and beautiful and true.” This love provided the foundation for the film and gave it strength and passion from beginning to end. So, where to next for Joaquin Phoenix? Only time will tell. As for now, Walk the Line will be playing to audiences throughout the nation, and the music and the story of Johnny Cash will be the topic of conversation for years to come. “Whenever I listen to John’s music, I feel like I’m right there with him.” And I have a feeling that from this point on when people think of the life and music of Johnny Cash, they’ll not only see Johnny, they’ll see Joaquin Phoenix as well.
