Walk the Line

In the movie Talladega Nights: The Ballad of Ricky Bobby, film stars such as Will Ferrell, John C. Reilly, Michael Clarke Duncan, and Jane Lynch headline the cast of the well-known comedy. Their interaction with one another, along with their fellow cast mates, makes for a hilarious film. Talladega Nights: The Ballad of Ricky Bobby is the paragon of comedy not only because of the cast that was selected to be in the film, but also because of the comedic dialogue which fuels interaction between cast members.

Recorded on April 2, 1956, Johnny Cash’s first hit, “I Walk the Line,” features lyrics in which Cash wrote to explain his devotion to his first wife, Vivian Liberto. At least, that was the original intent. Vivian later divorced Cash due to his use of drugs and affairs he had with other women. With the separation, and the lack of faithfulness to both his wife and to the lyrics of this tune, the lyrics obviously do not hold up in Johnny’s case, however the song still serves to explain one’s unwavering love for another (Turner).

Overall, I thoroughly enjoyed the movie, however, I did have some small issues with the film. The movie was entertaining with a fun plot line and quality

I was lucky enough to be able to view the film two weeks before its release, and I can tell you first hand that there are a great amount of changes to the movie. I think that some of these changes positively affected the quality of the movie, whereas other changes affected the movie in a negative way. I also think that some of these changes did not aid in expressing the important message of the story, which is that freedom of choice is important, and we shouldn't take it for granted.

There were some reactions that I experienced when I watched this movie a couple times. The first time that I watched the movie, I thought it was sad and predictable. The very first scene shows the two men just missing each other at the Texas Market, than the rest of the movie was about their life being sad. I pretty quickly saw that the two would eventually run into each other and find the love they were missing in their life. It was sad to see that they were so unhappy in their lives. Since I was a kid, I grew up with a family that believed in equal

     If I were a film critic I would give this film four and a half stars. It was well made and the actors were excellent. Although I have little to no experience living in a situation such as the one in the movie, I feel as though the lifestyle of these particular characters were portrayed truthfully. It was a culture shock to me, and the fact that it was most likely taken from real life is amazing in my mind. This movie not only made me think about the world as a whole but made me realize how incredibly lucky I am to have grown up in the environment in which I have lived in my entire life.

In conclusion, I really enjoyed the film. I have even considered buying the film. Henry Fonda’s role as a dissenting juror in a murder trial slowly manageing to convince the others that the case is not as obviously clear as it seemed in court was supurb. Taking film as a course, made me enjoy the film even more because I paid close attention to the film making aspects also. Filming in one room, for partcality the whole movie was noteablly stressful for the actors, who on screen proformace of yelling

Some of the things that were wrong; the actor’s accents were not very strong, they were poor, no public stasis, and many Irish wouldn’t have gained a higher station after gaining land. Its final flaws, a love story which kinda of takes away from the history of immigration of Irish people, and the Oklahoma land rush. The film leads you to believe all immigrants could have gone west, and fulfill their dreams. I sure Ronald Howard did some research on what happen, the movie is put together great. I liked it a

He showed up unannounced and asked the owner, Phillips, for an audition. Philips gave in and Cash and the boys soon returned to show off their skills. Phillips liked their sound but not their gospel-driven song choices, which he felt would have a limited market, and asked them to return with an original song. Right after the audition, the trio worked on the song “Hey Porter”, written by Cash. The owner of Sun Records like the song and the follow up, “Cry,Cry,Cry.” He then signed the newly branded Johnny cash and the Tennessee Two. In May 1955 “Hey Porter” was released and later that year, “Cry,Cry, Cry” hit no. 14 on the Billboard charts. Other hits followed, including the Top 10 tracks "So Doggone Lonesome" and "Folsom Prison Blues." But true fame arrived in 1956, when Cash wrote and released "I Walk The Line," which catapulted to No. 1 on the country music charts and sold 2 million copies. He released his debut album, Johnny Cash with His Hot & Blue Guitar in 1957.

From the time he could speak, Johnny had been singing whatever little tune he could gather. As a youngster, he sang gospel hymns his mother taught him each day. His first original songs were titled “Hey Porter” and “Cry, Cry, Cry”. Subsequent to his signing with Sun Records came the one of his most recognized songs of all time, “Folsom Prison Blues” in 1955. In 1956, he then produced “I Walk the Line”, followed by “Ring of Fire” in 1963. Each of these signifies a different battle in Johnny’s journey. After his second marriage, a new chapter began and his life would change forever. The best writers pull from their feelings, emotions, and ideas. All of those changed for Cash, when he recommitted himself to the Lord preceding his second marriage. Shortly after the wedding, Cash released a new album titled Sunday Down South encompassing his reaffirmation as a man of God. However, not only was Johnny able to reinvent himself, but through his time with The Highwaymen; he was able to introduce the other members to

Safety issues on campus a raised a huge red flag over the course of the movie. I feel as though a lot of issues could have been avoided , for instance the shooting on campus. I feel that the security could’ve had handle that situation more professionally. The police beat Malik but let Remi go , when they should have separating and questioning both of them . It showed that there was no care for students or students safety that are not white, once Malik and his roommate told them about the young man with the gun they didn’t do much to try and find him or keep the school protected resulting in a

But having the relentlessness attitude, he went back and sat on the steps until Sam Phillips would listen to his song (4). Phillips must have seen the diligence Cash had because Phillips finally let him in and listened to the song “Hey, Porter”. Phillips liked the song but wanted another song that had a more sentimental tone. Cash, with his hard-working spirit, went home that night to write the famously known song: “Cry, Cry, Cry” (5). This was the beginning of his long career. He had the amazing opportunity to tour with Elvis Presley around the southern states, along with other musicians (3).The song “Cry, Cry, Cry” became a hit on the Billboards Top 20 at number 14. Along with that, two more songs followed to the top 10. But then there was the sensational song, the song that everybody knows: “I Walk the Line”. This song was like a surge and became number one on the Billboards Top 20 for a remarkable 44 weeks. After this Cash’s career sky rocketed. He got invited to the Grand Ole Opry in 1956, which was a colossal event in Cash’s life. He then switched from Sun to Columbia Records, which was located in California. Cash then took himself and his family to move closer to the recording studio in California. Although he sold over 6 million records he switched so he could be more open with his musical style (5). Over the next decade he created many songs that hit the record charts and appeared on many television shows. Mid 1960’s Johnny Cash broke down mentally,
