Excellent

Rating: Null/10 (30 October 2004)

There are several reasons why this movie should be seen.First,Jamie Foxx gives a performance worthy of an "Oscar".The women who portraying his mother and wife are outstanding.The only critcism I have is that it does not go beyond the seventies and that the song selections were not long enough. Very often the song selections are heard only in the background. Another great feature is the ambiance depicted for Ray's youth.Furthermore there is a lot of poetic license used in the movie. It does not emphasize the the country and western influence Ray had in many more of his songs. Many people are not aware that he was loved but by music lovers from all over the world.The omission that he'is not shown doing America rendition is inexcusable; a bone-chilling experience.He did it on many occasions including Reagans inauguration.They could have shown it at the very end or even behind the screen credits
