Came in with a negative attitude

Rating: Null/10 (30 October 2004)

I just saw this movie at 4:45 with two of my friends. I had seen the movie Saw with my other friend the night before. I had gone into this movie loving Jamie Foxx and thinking that this movie was going to be good, but i thought it was going to be too long. I love movies, don't get me wrong. But i went and sat down, and once it started i was hooked. This is a movie that will tell a story about an icon that i have always known, but didn't give much about. I felt that this movie was incredible and that even though it tried to bring the negative side to Ray Charles career and his life, it was a tremendous inspiration to myself and to the ones with whom i went to the movie with. I am too young to understand the impact of Ray Charles, but there has been many opportunities for myself and friends to be influenced by his music. This movie is beyond any other "documentry" that i've ever seen, if you could even qualify this as a documentary. I believe that this movie is phenomenal and that he does deserve an Oscar. Coming from his In Living Color days and as a comedian, he has really improved his acting skills, from being in booty call, to probably being an Oscar nominee, to a winner in that category. Please seee this, as a tough non emotional kid, Foxx will bring a tear to your eye plenty of times, its a great movie. Banner
