Walk the line (2005) - Opening Scene (High Quality)

[@fancomiczilla4275]

I used to repeat this scene over and over again. That iconic beat..the clapping of the inmates..the raw epicness of it all. It's amazing how 3 musicians can create such a loud, booming beat

[@pedrinelastronauta]

Yup.. same here,... here i am for the 297th time.. i did juvie time in TX in the ‘80s and that kid def feels that beat..

[@hellskitchen7853]

It really is dude. One of my favorite opening scenes ever

I envy people that got to see this in theater. That must've been insane.

[@mavx318]

Absolutely. One of the best scenes in the entire movie.

[@pedrinelastronauta]

That beginning scene is just powerful.. This is how u open a movie. Wish i had seen it in the theater to absorb the music...

[@tylerwedell3750]

I think Bohemian Rhapsody takes the title

[@funnytoyvideos]

Tyler Wedell If only the rest of BoRhap was as good as that intro.

[@amandahowat6107]

It was such a great experience in the theater. It is truly a powerful scene

[@Goodwill42]

Saw it three times in the Theater. The walls were shaking.

Walk Hard: The Dewey Cox Story does it better 😂

[@blpalv15]

The nervousness of his band, wondering where he was, and the yellow water vibrating with the beat next to the table saw. Amazing

[@andrewliddell234]

I don't know why but this scene has always fascinated me Edit: its amazing to know im not the only one

[@JordanDavila]

Especially when they're stomping their feet to the beats of the music

[@Cooler1017]

Just the music playing in the background

[@guarachero123321]

Let me tell you my friend, you're not the only one.

[@pedrinelastronauta]

I thought i was the only one..

[@pedrinelastronauta]

i know right... i get goose bumps... i swear i feel the beat and feels of the prisoners... can u imagine being there in person and witnessing history... jeez what a feeling.. i bet these prisoners at least felt human there for that one special concert...

Chills every time!

[@MateoSolis96]

I remember watching this in the theaters and feeling the beat through the theatre. I went with my girlfriend at the time and we were both stoked. It’s a movie you wish you could watch in theaters all over again.

[@underonecover]

I saw it in the theater too and I did not see that coming it was so powerful that booming sound man it was amazing

[@Tommi6810]

Unfortunately I didn't see it in the cinema, I definitely would have had tears in my eyes at the opening.

[@EnemyAce88]

I saw this in the theatre with my wife when we were still dating. She had never really heard Johnny Cash before and didn't get why I was such a fan of his. But 2 years later when we got married, Johnny & June were a good chunk of the music at our reception.

[@JuanTorres-ow2ob]

What I love about this scene is the vibration of the instrumental song in the wood shop.

[@David-hn7zm]

I LOVE HOW THE GUITARIST DON'T SMILE IN ANY OF THE SCENES HE DO A GREAT PERFORMANCE NOT SMILING AT ALL !!!! LOVE HIS STYLE !!! INDEED 💯

[@Rockyasmr]

that was how luther perkins was :)

[@billyd7882]

Johnny Cash once said jokingly Luther was dead but just didn’t know it yet. Very stoic but he nailed that beat down.

[@southernpride2003]

That's the great Luther Perkins for you

[@BandasPalette]

Goosebumps everytime I watch this scene. So much symbolism behind it. Thanks for posting this.

[@Paches92-]

That rhythm and beat is infectious, *chicka boom chicka boom chicka boom chicka boom chicka boom! :)

[@lilbuckarooski4834]

IKR

[@justindelaney4142]

When I saw this in the theater, they had the speakers set perfectly. The drum beat. You could actually feel it vibrating in your chest.

[@Catceptionv2]

Greatest opening scene of all time imo

[@crookedman5896]

The beginning is probably what people heard passing by the theaters when this was showing.. the rhythm and bass. LOVE IT!

[@kinaroxxz6996]

2020 and I'm still watching this lol

[@EnemyAce88]

When I die, that's what I want my funeral to sound like.

[@Catceptionv2]

Amen brother same here!

[@PurpleNinja-vn4hv]

As long as you didn’t die of a cocaine overdose, or else this song might be coming a little too soon!

[@fakeninja697]

Same with me

[@rafaelsoto4742]

Dude my dad took me to see this in theaters. I was 14 years old and my mind was blown

[@Kal_El1994]

0:32 I love how the bass breaks through more dominantly when Phoenix's name appears on the screen. Resembles Cash - dominant, powerful yet slightly subdued - a steady rhythm. Reese's name appears when the guitar becomes more prominent at 0:40 - slightly more upbeat, jolly-ish and lighter in tone. God this movie is amazing.

[@mitchellmyers5350]

Cool how Robert Patricks name comes up as the camera passes through the bars , just like he did in T2

[@andrewliddell234]

Mitchell Myers lol

[@jeremyrichards8098]

I imagine that Joaquin Phoenix drew upon some of his real life experiences when portraying Johnny Cash, such that he, like Johnny Cash, also lost an older brother at a young age.

[@TheEyeOfOdin1]

What an intro to such an amazing film.

[@pedrinelastronauta]

i know right... hypnotizing...

[@noseyrosie2419]

I can only imagine how this part sounded in a movie theatre

#Amen🙏🏻 Clearly the BEST!

[@alejandrobasaldua5930]

And this is how you start a movie with the right foot.

[@adalynnshorrorworld2242]

This is one of my favorite opening scenes, which is more awesome since “Walk the Line” is one of my favorite films! It’s also a scene I kind of examine in how the sound design works. I love how, with each cut, the music of “Cocaine Blues” gets louder and louder and more epic and classic. Impeccable filmmaking!

[@noorrougelewis6704]

The clapping and stomping simultaneously gives me goosebumps.

[@vulicity2718]

this scene was so fun to watch in theaters!

[@aviation62yt39]

1:08 everytime I arrive at school walking pass my classroom, I always think of this music and Joaquin Phoenix walking, like me walking to meet my friends again!

[@tigerheart6]

I love this tune, it’s so perfect

[@vanncarter6391]

I love how they captured the “steady like a train, sharp like a razor” sound that June mentions later in the movie

[@kikuczijo]

One of the best movie scenes ever, can't get that beat out of my head! Love the rhythm, getting louder and louder, the boots stomping! Liked it from the first time I heard it, when saw the subtitle that T Bone Burnett is responsible for music, I instantly thought (even though I didnt know the guy) that he is a true master at this.

[@Elixus]

Heard it in theaters the first time and the bass with the boot stomping was phenomenal

[@chucklos391]

Please Hollywood bring us another movie of this caliber!!

[@QuEsT_X]

Elvis is on the way

[@chucklos391]

@@QuEsT_X I just saw the trailer. Had no idea. Think it'll be good? An Elvis biopic seems next to impossible to pull off.

[@QuEsT_X]

@@chucklos391 I think it will be good .... the actor who's playing elvis is very good.. and I think it all depends on the "structure" the most amazing thing about Walk The Line" is how it's story telling is structured ... so my fingers are crossed for the Elvis film

[@chucklos391]

@@QuEsT_X Well obviously Phoenix nailed the performance and singing. Off the charts. Witherspoon really help carry the film too and it was actually a good love story. So many elements will be needed for this movie to have the same effect Walk The Line had. And tackling Elvis is a bigger task than Johnny Cash. Fingers crossed for sure.

[@QuEsT_X]

@@chucklos391 well the actor playing Elvis I've been following for a while so 👍🏿 fingers crossed he will kill it in his performance and not be overshadowed by Tom hanks

The best biopic movie, even better than Elvis. The opening of the film is so fascinating, I can listen to it countless times and immediately get goosebumps. It's a shame that Mr. Cash couldn't see the film anymore, I'm sure he would have liked it. R. I. P. Johnny

joaquin should of got best actor and the movie should of got best picture....wasnt even nominated

[@musicaltheatergeek79]

I remember it was a shock when it wasn't nominated for Best Picture! It was a good film and was a big hit at the box office. It would have been #1 for an entire month, but it had the misfortune of opening the same day as *Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire,* so it had to settle for second place.

[@TheBeachAndTheNelson]

I wonder if those were actual folsom prison inmates that they were performing for on set

[@augustinelopez2907]

LUkEdUkE I read they were extras but Joaquin Phoenix and James mangold didn't let them have simple rights to go to the bathroom or things like that so they got a real prison feel

[@TheBeachAndTheNelson]
