The film is a parallel of, if not an imitation to, "Ray" (Dir: Taylor Hackford, 2004) in that both are biopics portraying the childhood hardship of famed singers in the States in the 1960s and both render a focal point on drug addition of the characters. Director James Mangold begins the story with Johnny Cash (Joaquin Phoenix)'s performance in Folsom prison and immediately cuts back to a 2-hr long flashback (the backbone of the narrative) of his childhood nightmare and his subsequent rise and fall in his career. As a generic motivation to the backstage musical genre, the film features many frontal, profile and back shots of the key characters, Cash and June Carter (Reese Witherspoon), in singing performance as well as a deluge of diegetic songs in dominant loudness. In cinematography and editing, it is far less virtuosic than "Ray". In terms of diegesis, the film is shallower and less touching in depicting Cash's hardship and low mood than it is in yielding the audience's sympathy to Ray Charles' childhood panic and anachronistic addition to drugs in "Ray", though both have a woman behind their salvage and both are incandescent approbation to the musicians.
