>ITT: God tier portrayals of real people
Is there any better than Joaquin Phoenix as Johnny Cash? Witherspoon did an amazing job as June Carter, but Phoenix fucking killed it.

yeah he did kill it, as in it was SHIT
Joaquin looked like a skinny, "hot" version of Johnny Cash and Witherspoon looks nothing like June Cash.

One of my favorite movies OP.
And I doubt anyone knows who Dorothy Parker is, but JJL did a flawless portrayal of her.

Denzel Washinton as Malcolm X left me speechless.
Gandhi was great
>>71821918
I think acting wise Denzel had Malcom X down pack but look wise he look nothing
Iike him man.
Also Malcom X is Spike Lee few good films before he went full on shit.

Johnny Depp as Ed Wood and Robert Downey Jr. as Charlie Chaplin.
Before both of them went off the rails.

Cate Blanchett as Bob Dylan is probably my favorite. Good movie but I wish we had a full movie of just her doing the character
