An overall great movie...

Rating: 9/10 (17 February 2005)

After hearing all the hoopla about this movie and how amazing it was, i took the chance, went out purchased it and watched it, the extended version and was pretty much in shock of how well Jaime foxx depicted ray charles so well.
I am still a young person and never really had a real chance to grow up with his kind of music or followed his career but after watching this movie it helps me a younger generation understand how hard he worked in his career to accomplish what he wanted. He was a true genius, and Jaime foxx is one also for how well he played this role.
If you look at pictures of ray charles in his young days he very much resembles Jaime Foxx and i thought he was perfect for the part and the movie was excellent i would recommend it to anyone of any age. It's hard to believe Jaime Foxx being an academy award winning actor after some of his earlier pieces of work, but he definitely deserves tons of credit for his work on this movie.
