An Unforgettable Performance!

Rating: 10/10 (2 February 2005)

An amazing thing happened to me while watching "Ray". After ten minutes I completely forgot I was watching Jamie Foxx play the great Ray Charles! Jamie Foxx became Ray Charles and it wasn't until the end of the movie when he took off his glasses and opened his eyes that I remembered it was Jamie Foxx and not Ray Charles I was watching. This incredibly personal and intimate look into the life of one of my favorite entertainers of all time was not very easy to watch at times. I almost felt as if I were a fly on the wall seeing the events depicted in the movie as they were happening. One of the best movies I have seen in a very, very long time! I only hope the Oscar voters agree!
