Movie Reviews of Johnny Cash: Hurt
Movie Review: Its Worth the Cash...
Summary: 5 Stars
I have always liked Johnny Cash, but the recent movie biography of his life and his love for June Carter really sparked a renewed interest for me.
I never watched the Country Music Television Channel, but I stopped channel surfing to watch a one hour biography of Cash and this video was part of the show.
This is the best music video I have ever seen. As others have pointed out here, there is a special quality to the symbols used in the video. I bought it because I know it will be a collector's item. (Save the outside wrapper and seal.)
One other point, I never listen to Nine Inch Nails, but this video sparked my interest in thier genre, particularly the lyrics. In one of the recent cd covers, Cash mentioned that songs are timeless, now he too belongs to the ages.
Movie Review: It's a good "film" or video... not a good value, though
Summary: 5 Stars
This is probably the most passionately eerie video I've ever watched. Blending old footage of Cash with the new, this video "Hurt," seems a melodic retrospective of Cash's life. The juxtaposition of "my empire of dirt" and images of Cash's awards, plaques and tributes is especially poignant. Just to note, though, this "film" is really only a four-minute video, nothing else. For value, this DVD should at least contain an interview, behind-the-scenes footage... something, anything, not just the video. As an avid collector of Cash music and film, it's a cherished DVD, but not worth much from a consumer's point of view. BTW, consumers can get this video with The Man Comes Around cd/dvd release.Movie Review: For about the same money, you can get the DVD and the album.
Summary: 5 Stars
As noted in a previous review, those interested in owning this DVD can buy the special edition of Johnny Cash's AMERICAN IV: THE MAN COMES AROUND that includes a bonus dvd containing this video. The Amazon number for it is B00008IAMD; it would cost only a few dollars more than this dvd alone. However, it may have been the case that those who bought the CD before the commercial release of the dvd may be interested. This DVD has no frills; it contains only the video. A real value would be the release of all the Cash videos made for his American album releases; it's a shame that the UNEARTHED compilation does not include such a disc.Movie Review: Well done
Summary: 5 Stars
I have always loved the orginal version of this song that was written back in the 90's by Trent Reznor of Nine Inch Nails. But Johnny Cash did it justice because it really shows how he had aged over the years and it was fitting to since it showed old and new footage of him. It is and was a very profound and powerful song no matter which version you hear it really gets to you. I cried the first time I saw the video just due to its sincere imaages and the use of the nearly delapidated Johnny Cash museum. It is a video that will be around for years to come.Movie Review: MAKES YOU THINK
Summary: 5 Stars
In this DVD, Johnny Cash is more powerful in the frailty of age than he was in his youth. His voice is scratchier and less strong than in times past, but it only adds to the theme of his song. The images that flash past are the memories of a man with many regrets intermingled with the only thing that makes his life worthwhile in the big scheme of things - redemption.
