Ray Man

Rating: 8/10 (18 January 2017)

Making the most out of ones situation. But also acknowledging the talent one has and being able to stand up to people trying to take advantage of you. And all that while not being able to see. Ray is a wonderful movie, that is not afraid to go to tough places and ask tough questions. It's also not just glorifying the person/musician many loved and still love for the music he made.
No one starts from the top and especially back then, when you consider the color of the skin played a big role. While racism isn't gone and some could argue it resurfaced big again lately, this was made in a time when it seemed far away. Still Taylor Hackford is a great director and he knows how to get powerful performances out of his actors. Great story, great ups and downs and you don't even have to know much to really enjoy this human story ...
