Yes, It's "supposedly" based on true events!!\n\nWHAT MOVIES.COM SAYS ABOUT THE MOVIE:\nTwo hundred years ago in Tennessee, a demon called Old Kate takes up residence with the family of John Bell (Donald Sutherland). It torments them, and even causes a man's death. A local schoolteacher, Richard Powell (D'Arcy), witnesses the events and writes them down for his daughter.\n\nI saw this movie tonight. I was pleasantly surprised because this movie was GREAT!!!! My favorite genre of movie is suspenseful/thrillers (psychological) movies, and this movie had the BEST ending, my jaw almost hit the floor!! LOL I would not classify this movie has a horror movie, it's more of a thriller. So for those of you who want to see a scary movie (it had a few scary moments...there were some jumps and screams in the theater) this may not be the movie for you.

The girl Audrey Tatou plays is supposed to be the end of Jesus's blood line. So wrong! It's fake. People shold not lure themselves into that fictional movie.

It's as accurate as it can get.\n\nSatan himself tried to stop this from movie from being made.  Mel Gibson speaks of all the demonic forces that came against him and his team.  But God wanted this movie to be released to bring in the harvest as the Lord's return is sooner than we think.\n\nGod bless you and I understand you getting ill.  Jesus really went through all that for you and me.

I own the DVD and absolutely love it.\nIt was filmed in his home with wife, June.\nThe flashback sequences can be found in the newly remastered DVD "Johnny Cash: The man, his world, his music". It's an early documentary that was produced under his supervision. In it he goes back to his birth place. In the film "Hurt" the old house that he is looking into was the first home that he and June had together.

Here is what a reviewer on Amazon has to say on the topic.\nhttp://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000069HSP/102-7802541-0853764?v=glance&n=130\n\n"As for accuracy to what occurred, a group of soldiers that were there appeared on The History Channel's "Hollywood vs History" program and they concurred that it was 75-80% factual. 20 - 25% Hollywood. That's probably a good ratio indeed."

Vivian Dorraine Liberto Cash Distin (April 23, 1934 – May 24, 2005) was Johnny Cash's first wife and the mother of his four daughters: Rosanne Cash, Kathleen Cash, Cindy Cash, and Tara Cash.\n\nVivian met Johnny in 1950 at roller skating ring in San Antonio, Texas three weeks before the Air Force sent him to Germany. At the time, she was still a senior at Providence High School, an all-girl Catholic school in San Antonio. During Cash's military tour overseas, the couple wrote each other over 10,000 pages of love letters.\n\nOn July 3, 1954, Cash was discharged from the Air Force. On August 7, 1954, the two were married. A brief portrait of their marriage and early life is provided in the poignant song "I Was Watching You" by their eldest child, Rosanne Cash, from her 2006 album Black Cadillac.\n\nVivian and Johnny were married for 12 years, before his addiction to amphetamines and occasional womanizing led them to a divorce. She married Dick Distin that same year. Johnny Cash married June Carter in 1968.\n\nIn 2004, Vivian fought to get a memento of her romance with Johnny, who died in 2003 — a bench into which Cash had carved the words "Johnny Loves Vivian" in 1951. San Antonio city officials declined her request, and promptly placed the bench under lock and key in a storage facility.\n\nShe died on May 24, 2005, of complications from surgery to remove lung cancer at the age of 71.\n\nShe was portrayed by Ginnifer Goodwin in the 2005 Johnny Cash biopic Walk the Line. According to Kathleen Cash, one of Vivian's daughters, the portrayal was inaccurate and unfair to her mother.\n\n\nRosanne Cash (born May 24, 1955) is an American singer and songwriter. Although she is most often classified as a country artist, her music draws on many genres in addition to country, including folk, pop, rock and roll and blues. She is one of the daughters of Johnny Cash and his first wife, Vivian Liberto Cash Distin, born shortly before the release of her father's first single. In many ways, her career reflects the changes in country music since the birth of the rock and roll era.\n\nBorn in 1955 in Memphis, Tennessee, Cash grew up Catholic in southern California, but moved to Nashville after her high school graduation. She worked in her father's road show before setting out on her own. Cash released her first single, a duet with Bobby Bare, in 1979, and two years later had her first country No. 1 (and the biggest hit commercially of her career), "Seven Year Ache" (which also became a top forty pop hit). In 1979 she married Rodney Crowell, who was to produce most of her hit records. Their stormy marriage lasted until 1992; its break-up is chronicled in Cash's Interiors and in Crowell's album Life Is Messy. Cash later married producer John Leventhal, who produced her albums The Wheel (on which many of the songs were also based on her relationship with Crowell) and 10 Song Demo. Although Cash was a prominent country star throughout the '80s, her music was anything but traditional: she topped the charts with songs written not only by herself, but by her father ("Tennessee Flat Top Box"), John Hiatt ("The Way We Make a Broken Heart"), Tom Petty ("Never Be You") and the Beatles ("I Don't Want to Spoil the Party"), as well. "I Don't Know Why You Don't Want Me", which won her a Grammy in 1985, and "It's Such a Small World", a 1987 duet with Crowell on his album Diamonds & Dirt, provided further hits. All of these songs and more are included on the compilation Hits 1979-1989.\n\nCash has had more than twenty top 40 country singles, including eleven chart-toppers, but nothing since 1990, and she has found it necessary to leave Nashville in both spirit and body to pursue her artistic vision. Although she had recorded all of her hits for Columbia Records' Nashville division, she released 10 Song Demo for the pop di

my own private idaho, cause it depicted homelessness, prostitution and drugs realistically, not hollywood glammed out version. truthfully gritty and keanu and river did excellent jobs as a rich boy/family reject and a narcoleptic male prostitute.

Reese Witherspoon for "Walk The Line"

The Notebook is a much better story.  It's a much more believeable story line and one that makes you want to believe in true love.

There is no true story or real people.  It is a work of fiction.  The movie was based on the Stephen King novella "Rita Hayworth and Shawshank Redemption".

Yes, I liked it. The story line was easy to follow and you found yourself caught up in it-time went by fast and it ended quickly. Reese Witherspoon and (I forget his name, Phoenix) both did their own singing and they did an excellent job. By the end of the movie, you could have sworn it was Johnny Cash himself saying, "Hello. I'm Johnny Cash." Very good movie-I plan on buying the DVD.

"Walk the Line" was great. "Freedomland" was good, but I was expecting more.
