I love Reese Witherspoon and Walk the Line!!! She was AMAZING in this movie among with all the other movies that she as played in. I think it's so amazing how much talent a person like Reese has. She's awesome and I think she deserves to know it. Joaquin Phoenix was also great! Playing Johnny Cash was a major role and both Reese and Joaquin did a wonderful job.
