Walk the Line Blu-ray
Extended Cut 20th Century Fox | 2005 | 153 mins | Rated PG-13 | Nov 09, 2009
Walk the Line(2005)Biography | Drama | Music | Romance     In 1955, a tough, skinny guitar-slinger who called himself J.R. Cash walked into the soon-to- be-famous Sun Studios in Memphis. It was a moment that would have an indelible effect on U.S. culture. With his driving freight-train chords, steel-eyed intensity and a voice as deep and black as night, Cash sang blistering songs of heartache and survival that were gutsy, full of real life and unlike anything heard before. That day kicked off the electrifying early career of Johnny Cash. As he pioneered a fiercely original sound that blazed a trail for rock, country, punk, folk and rap stars to come, Cash began a rough-and-tumble journey of personal transformation. In the most volatile period of his life, he evolved from a self-destructive pop star into the iconic "Man in Black" facing down his demons, fighting for the love that would raise him up, and learning how to walk the razor-thin line between destruction and redemption For more details about Walk the Line on Blu-ray, see the Walk the Line Blu-ray Review Walk the Line Blu-ray, Video Quality  Presented in its original aspect ratio of 2.39:1, encoded with MPEG-4 AVC and granted a 1080p transfer, James Mangold's Walk the Line arrives on Blu-ray courtesy of 20th Century Fox-UK. Please note that similar to the French release, the disc contains the extended cut of the film running at approximately 153 min. Also, please note that unlike what many online UK vendors claim, including Amazon.UK - that this is a single-disc - Walk the Line is actually a 2BD set. This transfer looks practically identical to the one Fox Pathe used in France for their local release of James Mangold's film. Detail is excellent, contrast very good and clarity strong throughout the entire film. As I noted in my review for the French BD release, many of the outdoor scenes look fabulous. The color-scheme is also very convincing - greens, blues, browns, yellows, reds, blacks and whites are rich and well saturated. Furthermore, macroblocking, edge-enhancement and excessive filtering are not an issue of concern. There are no disturbing stability issues to report either. Finally, there are no disturbing scratches, debris, or stains plaguing the transfer. All in all, this is a fabulous presentation that, in my opinion, does this wonderful film justice. (Note: This is a Region-Free disc. Therefore, you will be able to play it on your PS3 or SA regardless of your geographical location. Please note that there is no PAL content preceding the main menu). Walk the Line Blu-ray, Audio Quality Once again, as it was the case with the French release, there are three audio tracks on this Blu-ray disc: English DTS-HD Master Audio 5.1, French DTS 5.1 and German DTS 5.1. The disc also contains the same subtitles options: English HOH, Dutch, Danish, Finnish, French, French HOH, German, German HOH, Norwegian and Swedish. Again, the DTS-HD Master Audio 5.1 track is identical to the one heard on the French release. Dynamically, it is very aggressive, particularly during the numerous live performances (two songs I pay close attention to are Elvis Presley's "That's Alright Mama" and Johnny and June's singing "Time's a-Wastin"). On the other hand, the dialog is crisp, clear and very easy to follow. There are absolutely no disturbing pops, cracks, or hissings that I detected with it either. There are also no balance issues to report. Walk the Line Blu-ray, Forum Discussions
