Ray

Ray a film played by Jamie Foxx was magnificent. Jamie Foxx did a wonderful job, he showed the aggressiveness, soft hearted and talented Ray Charles well. Directed by Taylor Hackford , screenplay by James L. White, produced by Hackford, Stuart Benjamin, Howard Baldwin and Karen Baldwin collaborated and made a film that got Grammy award.
Ray Charles mother played by Sharon Warren(Aretha Robinson)played a fiercely independent mother who insisted that he make his own way through the world. She kept pressing on young Ray to be independent. Which prove well because in one scene when Ray Charles mangers tried to play him like a fool he realized it and left. Also when he first met Della Bea, going back home he mesmerized the direction from her house to his.
Kerry Washington played as Della Bea Robinson, Ray Robinson wife was great. She played a God-loving woman but also a woman of heart. She stuck with Ray Charles despite his adulterous acts. But when it was time for her to speak her voice she did and she was powerful and fierce with it.
C.J. Sanders played as little Ray did a magnificent job. He showed the fear of turning blind, watching his brother die and seen his mother go through a struggle to support him.
One factor of this film was lighting, in one scene was when Della confronts Ray the lighting was dark and the only thing you can see is there faces and reactions. It was a factor because it shows the expressions well enough, to the point where you don't even have to listen to the words to know whats going to be said. You automatically know what they're feeling.
Music by Ray Charles obviously was played through out the whole film. But Jamie Foxx singing sounded just like Ray Charles. The jazz, and gospel sounding came natural to him.
