a couple of day ago i saw the awesome house of sand and fog and i be impress with the amazing performance of ben kingsley in the lead role . i decide to see ray and try to understand how and why ben kingsley do not win the oscar of best lead actor . after watch jamie foxx in the role of ray charles and i agree with the academy represent he really deserve to be award . i like ray charles and i be not his fan and but it be amaze the resemblance of jamie foxx with him . the film be completely support by jamie foxx and who participate of most of the shooting and and his movement on stage look like a if he be a reincarnation of ray charles . with regard to the story and i saw the extended version on dvd and too long but also very pleasant and with many beautiful song and scene show mainly a junkie ray charles . my great surprise be to find that ray charles be heroine addict and and how he treat his own family . the presentation of his childhood through fragmented flashback be the boring part of the movie . my vote be nine . title ( brazil ) represent ray .
