I just watched "Ray" and I was ready to tear it up

[johnnie]

But, it was a great movie. I loved Brother Ray and thought no one could do him justice, but Jamie Foxx did a great job and deserved his award.
If you haven't seen it, please do.
It was sad to see what junk can do to you, but I have seen it in person and it never gets easier to watch people drown in that shit.
I just wanted to put in my 2 cents for the flick. It was well worth the watch.

1. It is a great movie.

Ray Charles is an immortal, the "genius."

[johnnie]

11. He was a genius

I never questioned that. This movie just helped to show it to people who didn't know.

[Donailin]

2. It's on my top ten list.

The music. . . can't ever say enough about the music. And the movie didn't play a 100th of it.

[johnnie]

12. Brother Ray's music is classic

I have a lot of it, but yeah..your right... the movie didn't have enough.

[jdots]

3. he was Ray at times it was frightening

One great movie.

[johnnie]

4. Yeah

Sometimes I had to do a double take to make sure. Foxx did a great job.

[Robb]

5. I watched it for the first time last night

Really, really well done. And I agree, Jamie was superb. :thumbsup:

[johnnie]

7. I'm watching the bonuses now

Great movie

[Snap]

6. I had my doubts

But the movie was terrific.
I did tire however with the drugs at the center, I know, lots of damage done, but so it is.

[johnnie]

9. Well ...drugs can make or break a person

I have seen it happen. I think the purpose of the dope in this film is to show another hurdle crossed. Junk is just no good, I have lost friends to it. Maybe I might have a different perspective as to why it was a center of the movie.

13. 23 years clean

I hear what you're saying, drugs grind many into little pieces.
I'm just tired of the puritans.

[johnnie]

16. Good going

It's a tough one to shake.

8. Definitely my favorite movie this year

And Foxx was great in Collateral too... who knew when he was playing Wanda on In Living Color he'd turn in such great performances in serious roles?

[johnnie]

10. I thought the same thing

From "I'm gonna rock....your....world..." To this is a stretch..LOL

[DS1]

14. what kind of stuff was he doing?

drug wise

[belladonna]

15. Heroin mostly

At least that's what they showed the most of in the movie
