It’s all there, the naked truth about one of the most influential artist of all time and how his partner truly was a partner, not content to watch Johnny squander his immense talent under the burden of drugs and drink.
The movie ends with June finally accepting Johnny’s marriage proposal and if that doesn’t leave you in tears, nothing will.
The film is also completely open about that, his pill addiction and his alcoholism.
What makes Walk The Line so great is its brutal honesty about June and Johnny’s relationship, which for years in the beginning was a real rollercoaster due to Johnny’s drug abuse.
