Based on a true story? It better be. Coming out November 18 is the story of The Man in Black. I'm looking forward to the movie Walk the Line. I don't know much about Johnny Cash, not even much about his music, but hopefully this movie will help to shed some light for me. The one song I do know is Ring of Fire. Unfortunately, I wasn't able to find it as sung by Mr. Cash (or even Social Distortion for that matter), so just suck it up and deal with what is linked.

This is being brought up due to my recent viewing of Ray, and learning more of the life of Ray Charles. The only thing I didn't like about the movie was the ending. I guess I was just expecting more. But that fact non-withstanding, it was a really good biopic. One of my favorite parts of the movie was a club scene and an impromptu new song, What I say.

And I'm not the typical biographical movie watcher. To me, movies are more of an escape. Under normal circumstances, any movie with the tag line "based on a true story" will not get viewed by me. But for some reason, I really wanted to know more about Johnny and Ray.



edit: Had I only done a little more searching, I would have found the Social Distortion version of Ring of Fire. Requires quicktime.  ¶ 5:21 PM
