Synopsis (with spoilers): This is an account of the life of singer Johnny Cash, who was born in a rural area and lost his brother at an early age, then got married and had kids, and then fell in love with fellow singer June Carter,which spent a long time rejecting him, initially because he was married, then because he became addicted to pills, and finally accepted his marriage proposal, which ended the period covered by the film.
Appraisal: In my opinion, this film's sin is that it never really convinces us that there is enough in this story to justify the making of a movie about it. This is not these lives' faults, in my opinion, but, I repeat, the film's; even the most banal of subjects can be made into an interesting film, given the right treatment. Here the basic motif is summarized in the image of a tractor stuck in the mud; likewise, the main character's life gets 'stucked', possibly due to an unfulfilled need for love, both from his father and with the woman he loved. This basic conflict gets diluted in the shallow biopic approach.
