how he inhibits the role

Rating: 10/10 (14 July 2005)

Whenever they make a biopic, we have every reason to be overjoyed as well as doubtful: for every "Malcolm X", there's a biopic comparable to, say, the movies in which Eddie Murphy starred in the early '90s.
"Ray" is a masterpiece. Jamie Foxx pulls off the seemingly impossible task of playing Ray Charles. From Ray's impoverished beginnings - and the glaucoma that blinded him - to his success as a singer (and heroin addiction), we almost forget that it's an actor on the screen. Foxx's performance was definitely the most deserving of a Best Actor Oscar.
In short, after seeing this movie, Georgia probably will be on your mind, you'll want someone to unchain your heart, and you might want to hit the road to buy a Ray Charles CD.
