jamie foxx be the epitome of ray charles . after a few moment you stop see a film and see a biography play by the great man himself . ray charles be truly a genius of music and the movie excellently depict that . no one have ever or will ever write and play and or record music like this musical giant . when he pass the flesh and the world lose one of it great american hero . as far a the movie and the fact that jamie foxx receive a classical music scholarship to college and could play like ray be an asset to the director . what could be good than that . you do not have to have a double play piano and then try to split the screen from someone else hand to jamie face . it work beautifully . i love the fact that it also pick up how difficult ray be . he wasn not always a nice man . you do not also root for him . he be a drug addict and a womanizer and and sometimes just plain hard head . but i guess that what make him genius so i can not fault him for that . i pick jamie for best actor .
