   Saw it last night. Finally. Great. Loved it. Reese Witherspoon was
   fantastic. Her singing blew me away. As did Joaquin Phoenix's. He was
   terrific. Best role I've seen him in.
   I like the idea of taking a portion of a subject's life for a biopic
   instead of trying to do someone's whole career. The only thing is I
   wish that maybe they could have played up other parts of Cash's life
   instead of the drug abuse part. Behind the Music has killed the music
   star arc of struggle, make it, abuse drugs, get clean, come back. I
   mean, we get it, you know?
