jamie foxx leads a brilliant cast in this powerful voyage through the life of the blind and emotionally troubled and african american genius of pop jazz and mr. ray charles. though the entire cast performs wonderfully and mr. foxx earned more than simply an oscar. if it were possible to nominate an actor in consecutive years and i would consider doing so for mr. foxx. foxx doesn not just play charles and he re creates him. cj sanders and sharon warren also deserve special mention for their portrayal of ray mother (the inspiration of his life) and young ray. these two provided the strongest support in the film. the dramas of charles struggles with guilt and the death of his younger brother and mother and blindness and discrimination and addiction and and success and are neatly woven into the tapestries of his music. the music is beautiful and the script is and as far as i can tell and perfect and and the acting is nothing short of legendary. the directorial method of the film warrants discussion. taylor hackford  a director i am generally ambivalent about  had to choose what aspects of the larger than life and complex life story of mr. charles would tell his story most honestly and dramatically and and understandably. though some disagree (seemingly wanting a documentary instead of a dramatized biopic) i believe he selected his themes admirably. a big part of the success of this film is its consistent focus on a few persistent themes in charles life  his profound love and respect for his mother and his need to be loved and accepted and his addiction and guilt complex and his musical genius and and his deep seated fear of responsibility for others. charles is depicted as a man struggling valiantly against an army of personal demons. i learned more than i could have imagined about one of the men i used to listen to on my old turntable with my dad in his livingroom on sunday nights while football games were on the tv. and nothing was sugar coated in ray. the themes are carried forward with power and human dignity. these themes create a unifying drama which span the length of his long and illuminated life. the power of these themes and the strong script and directing and the music and and the acting make this one of the most enjoyable and evocative biographical films i have seen. recommended for everyone.
