An Excellent Performance by Jamie Foxx mostly due to a great director in Taylor Hackford makes this into one of the best bio-pics of all time.

Rating: 8/10 (7 February 2012)

A Very Fittingly Acted Movie due to an excellent portrayal Of Ray Charles Raymond by Jamie Foxx (who is not naturally an actor for these intense roles), and he just suites the character in the movie perfectly,and also great work from the supporting staff and great work from the director who probably had a major part in the excellent acting in this movie, to make this movie a very good bio-pic.
The Story is on the Blind Piano Artist Ray Charles, shows us how he became one of the top superstars of his time, showing how he joined a band at first and played the Piano for them,but then quit them and decided to become a solo artist. Shows us how he became one of the best of his time after most of the people loving his type of music,and also shows us his personal life, in which he had some difficulty due to an addiction to Heroin, having after-marital affairs,and also a guilt about his brother's death.
An Excellent Performance from Jamie Foxx as Ray Charles and the amazing fact is that he usually does not do many intense roles like this,but did this extremely well and he became the actual character throughout the movie,and the songs in the movie benefited him as he is a musician also.He did the real Ray Charles justice by producing one of the best bio-pic movie performances of all time. Also good work from the supporting cast which helped the film being a great bio-pic.
Taylor Hackford does a great job in directing this and he probably had a big role in Foxx's great performance as Ray Charles,he also did the other things fittingly to make this into one of the best bio-pics of all time.He also had a role in writing the script of this movie which was quite good and he shows the tough life of this truly great artist quite perfectly.
The Background Music and Songs in this movie are very good and entertaining and due to this movie, i can appreciate the great songs and music of this great artist.
An Excellent Performance by Jamie Foxx mostly due to a great director in Taylor Hackford,and also great songs and music makes this one of the best bio-pics of all time.
My Rating: 8/10.
