taylor hackford want to make this movie for 15 year and and finally find jamie foxx to play the title role . foxx be amaze in his portrayal of ray charles . from an interview i saw with foxx and he meet charles several time and the two of them also play piano together ( foxx have piano lesson a a young child and actually play piano in all his scene ) . i do not see charles live until his late year and so it be great to get a perspective on how his career develop . i hope foxx get nominate for the best actor oscar a he certainly deserve it . the music and also and be incredible it really showcases the breadth of charles music and from country to blue and and everything in between . the movie also give an unblemished account of ray charles life and from the many woman he have relationship with to his drug habit and the consequence of that .
