I love this movie, it's one of my favourite documentaries about a singer/musician. Ray Charles Robinson is a man who went beyond his limitations and became a star. Ray Charles was just an ordinary man, same as anybody else, that all turned down-hill when he went blind at a young age. Even though Ray was blind, he still had one passion in life, and that was to play the piano. Jamie Foxx deserved the Academy Award win for this movie, and I was very proud that he won. Jamie does an awesome job at portraying one of the greatest musicians of our time. I was very saddened at the loss of Ray Charles. Ray is an inspiration in many, many ways, because he went beyond his own expectations, his families and the doctors that tried to help him cope with his blindness. One of my favourite songs by Ray Charles is, "Georgia On My Mind" and I was very happy to hear Jamie sing it in the movie, oh and of course, everybody's favourite, "Hit The Road Jack", it was wonderful.
I gave this movie 10 out of 10, because yes the story was wonderful, the talent unbelievable. Jamie was incredible, and it's amazing how he portrayed Ray Charles to a tee. This movie is definitely one of my favourites, and I invite anybody who's heard Ray Charles or who's a fan, even those that aren't but they love great soul songs to watch this, it's incredible!
