As stated in my previous two blogs, my sympathy for those addicted to drugs is not very high. And while Johny Cash was addicted to pills, I want rant about that again. However, Cash is one to feel sympathy in relation to his life. I don't remember where the movie says he grew up but obviously his family was poverty struck. Cash and his brother, Jack, were forced to work long days as kids for his dad in order to provide for the family and his dad was a raging alcoholic. Cash confided in his older brother when his father would rant but after Jack died, his father, in his drunken stupors, would proclaim that the devil took the wrong son, obviously scaring Cash and giving him a feeling of unworthiness. Never the less, he presses on, joining the air force, getting married and producing his first record. He struggled throughout his career attempting to please his wife but also June Carter at the same time. His relationship with his wife comes to an end after a fight and eventually, after Carter rids him of his pills, they marry. The actors did a good job of fulfilling the relation between characters, ultimately dragging the viewer into the film even more.
