@John S Very nice, dramatic hollywood scene. However not real. Never happened. Johnny Cash never debuted ''Folsom Prison'' at his audition for Sam Phillips, nor did they argue about God. lol Sam DID say he couldn't market gospel, however, Cash then brought out his original song at the time ''Hey Porter!'' which impressed Sam, because the lyrical writing was clever, and quite ''grown up'' sounding to him, versus all the lovey dovey stuff constantly being sung about in both hillbilly and blues up to that point. But it wasn't ''Folsom Prison'' with the dramatic scene looking at Luther to make up something because they weren't prepared. Although 'cute' in the movie, not based on reality. It was actually ''Hey Porter!'' His very first single at Sun Records was ''Cry Cry Cry'' bw / "Hey Porter!". Johnny Cash wrote about life, as well as love, but Johnny Cash's original writing is what won Sam over in the end. Just not like how the movies portrays it. lol

Great movie scene, however Johnny Cash's audition with Sam that day at Sun, did NOT go down like that. ''Hey Porter'' was the original song that Johnny Cash showed Sam Phillips that day. They didn't argue about God. Sam did let them know that they couldn't market gospel music like that and that he needed something real. Johnny Cash's original writing style is what won Sam Phillips over that day. Whether about a train song, life, or the typical love song, Johnny Cash most certainly had his own style.

Sam Phillips has had enormous and lasting influence on popular music. The record company he founded recorded what many people regard as the first rock and roll song, by Ike Turner, “Rocket 88”. He recorded songs for people at pivotal times in their careers, including Elvis Presley, B.B. King, Howlin' Wolf, Jerry Lee Lewis, Johnny Cash, Roy Orbison, and Carl Perkins. This one man changed the world; he came along at the right time, the right place, and had the wisdom to see an opportunity.

And this dramatic argument whether Cash really believed in God or not didn't go down. All Hollywood. What IS true is that Sam Phillips didn't think he could market gospel, however Johnny Cash would still go onto record an all Gospel album, a couple of them actually, but not till he signed on at Columbia Records.

“It ain’t got nothing to do with believing in God Mr.Cash,,,, it has to do with believing in yourself “ Most inspirational line ever.

That first verse I shot a man in Reno just to watch him die That grabs you for the rest of that Iconic song..Nothing like it.!Still gets people tappin there feet.🎸🎼

The satisfaction face with the producer Is incredible... This Is one of the scenes of this movie i like a lot... He got the Best of Mr cash on a very short time, with a few words of direct wisdom

I love how in these biopics Johnny Cash, Buddy holly, Elvis, they all had that moment in the recording booth where the producer tells them to come up with a new sound because nobody wants to hear the old stuff again.

This movie and scene is so damn legendary that I need to rethink how saving thyself will come about. And this time we have on earth is only defined by what we can, feel, see, touch, smell, hear, listen within and it's only god that will save him, save his soul but if you don't believe it and can't see it then you better go and touch it to save your smell. How Cash brought it home was one of the greatest pieces of musical history. Not the opera or some concert with Hugh Jackman or an audition or mozart. This is real raw brilliance that will never ever be forgotten. And if this actually happened it was one of the greatest mentorships. Bass was a defining factor too

Love Joaquin Phoenix but this part by this guy is such an incredible performance. It's like "I have just this one scene, so I really need to nail it the way I'm preaching to Cash right here..." His cynicism/wisdom is so spot on.

And it still gives me goosebumps

If there was a moment that made people feel frisson and the passion of moments, its this scene

When Sam asked for raw emotion Joaquin's acting became magnificent

just love the pick up in tempo at 4:30. like Philips was willing him on. top class acting and direction.

Some artists need to be nurtured, some need to be challenged, Johnny Cash every time he got challenged he came through.

When Johnny says “I do” you could see the subtle change in Sam’s expression that said “Oh damn, this guy has something to say.” It was brilliant acting. That’s the moment a star is born. And Sam knew it.

That transformation of singing style is fantastic in this moment! Watching Johnny Cash struggle with his 'own' feelings put into song is incredible, and then to watch Sam Phillips ever-so-slightly perk-up with this 'new' direction is almost emotional..... this scene really touched me....I felt it when Johnny really let go....real nice! acting!!!

One of my favorite scenes. Historical.

this is always the stand out scene for me! Love how he says to believe in yourself and sing something real that people can feel! powerful. 🙏🏻

That thunder at the end. what an amazingly directed scene

I remember being convinced Joaquin should and would win the Oscar after seeing this movie... glad he finally got his moment years later with Joker.

So did I ! He really deserved an oscar for this movie. He does not play Johnny Cash, he IS Johnny Cash.

There are two types of people in this world. Intelligent people and people who think some actor winning some worthless award for some performance actually means a goddamn thing.

It's worth stopping by Sun Studios in Memphis where it happened. You can feel the history in the air... Cash, Presley, Perkins, Orbison... the list is longer but you get the idea.

My best friend and I made that dream come true, after saving for 3 straight years: 2015 we went to Graceland and Sun Studios. We made our dream come true. Hallowed halls....

it was also the night that the skeletons came to life
