Brilliant movie with a brilliant performance

Rating: 10/10 (7 June 2005)

Ray is one of the best movies of 2004 and possibly the best I have ever seen. There were so many emotional scenes that are too sad to see. The music is outstanding that is played throughout the movie. Jamie Foxx deserved to be in this movie. There probably couldn't have been another choice to play Ray Charles other than Jamie Foxx. Ray couldn't have been made without Jamie Foxx being in it. Ray is a movie that can be compared to a painting by Picasso. Ray is excellent. The music is excellent. Jamie Foxx is excellent.
There might be people who might get bored from this movie because it is 2 hours and a half. But it needs to be long, so everything can be explained. The scene when Ray's brother George drowns in one scene is just bizarre. Also when his mother finds out and she bursts into tears, its just emotional. Absolutely no one should hate this movie for any reason. I don't like watching scenes like that. Scenes that can be disturbing to some viewers. Also when Ray keeps thinking back because he didn't do anything as he watched his brother drown. He feels really guilty. There's nothing more I can say about this film. It's incredible and powerful.
