Best movie of 2004

Rating: 10/10 (7 June 2005)

I have watched this movie now on several occasions, and it is simply a gem! The type of movie where if they aired it 1000 times, I could watch it 1001! The cast was impeccable, and seeing Jamie play the role of Ray Charles leaves you with the impression that he is, in fact, Ray himself. The soundtrack will keep your fingers snappin' and your toes tappin' for the duration. It's also an unforgettable lesson about the way in which people lived and the things the black population endured in the south during that period in history. I highly recommend this movie to anyone who has the slightest admiration for Mr. Charles and/or the music he gave the world! You will not be disappointed!
