Synopsis: Jamie Foxx (Collateral) stars as the one-of-a-kind innovator of soul who overcame impossible odds to become a music legend. Ray is the triumphant & remarkable story of 1 of America's true musical geniuses, Ray Charles. From his humble beginnings in the South through rise to the top of American music charts, Ray's inspirational journey is a tale of hope, redemption & the power of the human spirit. "Ray is Electrifying" hails Peter Travers of Rolling Stone. Witness the incredible true story of a musician who fought harder & went further than anyone could imagine.
Amazon.com Jamie Foxx's uncannily accurate performance isn't the only good thing about Ray. Riding high on a wave of Oscar buzz, Foxx proved himself worthy of all the hype by portraying blind R&B legend Ray Charles in a warts-and-all performance that Charles approved shortly before his death in June 2004. Despite a few dramatic embellishments of actual incidents (such as the suggestion the accidental drowning of Charles's younger brother caused all the inner demons that Charles would battle into adulthood), the film summarizes Charles's strengths as a musical innovator & his weaknesses as a philandering heroin addict who recorded some of his best songs while flying high. Director Taylor Hackford gets most of the period details right as he chronicles Ray's rise from "chitlin circuit" performer in the early '50s to his much-deserved elevation to legendary status as one of the all-time greats. Foxx lip-syncs to Ray Charles' classic recordings, but you could swear he's the real deal in a film that honors Ray Charles.
