Walk the line

MaltaGirl finds inspiration from the life story of Johnny Cash despite the interruptions at the cinema:

After looking up each and every film on imdb.com (and dismissing most of them in the process), the clear winner was Walk the Line. It's a biopic about the country singer Johnny Cash. I didn't know much about him but the main draw for me was the music, for the same reason that I wanted to watch Ray last year. Also, Reese Witherspoon is in it, and she is one of my favourite actors, so there you go, two very good reasons for us to go watch the film.

When we sat down in the cinema, the audience composition was very similar to that when we watched Memoirs of a Geisha, i.e. average age was 50 or so. I suppose most of them were there because they grew up listening to Johnny Cash. There was a party of five sitting behind us, and one of the people was a woman who just would not shut up. Michael identified her for me as a popular Country singer...Now, I don't object to her knowing all that trivia, really I don't. What I object to is the running commentary that she kept up throughout the movie. My goodness. She just would NOT shut up...
