Foxx gives a perfect portrayal of an imperfect genius.

Rating: 10/10 (4 February 2005)

In all the films I have seen that have been based on the lives of real people,this film about the life of Ray Charles now tops the list of my personal favorites.Jamie Foxx portrays Ray with absolute perfection.The portrayals of his perfect musical genius,as well as his imperfect personal life are solid as a rock and Foxx is very well deserving of his Oscar nomination.Anything short of a win would be outrageous.Having enjoyed Ray's music all of my life,I,along with any other fan,certainly did not want to be disappointed with any film on his life story.The film impresses this Ray Charles fan with flying colors.You will come away appreciating his triumphs over personal tragedies and struggles on his way to becoming the musical genius he was.Thumbs way up!
