The music is good enough!

Finally got to see it! I didn't watch this movie as a movie, but as a jazz assignment.

As for the plot, I don't need to comment much, the whole orientation is more the main theme, and it continues to the dream where the mother who is the light of life and the younger brother who is a shadow of childhood appear at the same time. Like the teacher before the exam, the director gave us a key point: remember ,classmates! This is the source of his strange character, and the doubts in life are solved in this scene~ Don't go into the reasons, just remember the results anyway, you must test!

But for me, the music part is fascinating enough. Some of his most influential tracks are presented one by one with the development of the plot, and even the creative process makes people want to go high with them. Jamie Foxx is absolutely amazing, he plays and sings well and his acting is amazing!

For me, this movie can be revisited, for those musical parts.

    Jimmy Fox's best actor deserves his name. Li Binghui is also one of those emoji action biopics. What you should do is to restore people instead of creating gods. This film obviously achieves the ratio of music and story. The first half is too full of flashbacks. There's nothing to backtrack halfway through.

    I have no love for Sao Ling, it's just a biography, I know the life story of Charles Xia Lei, and there are not many remarkable deeds in this singer's life. Jamie Foxx's acting skills are only passable.

Ray quotes

  • [after Ray accuses Jeff of stealing]

    Ray Charles: How could you do that? We've been through so much. We were like brothers.

    Jeff Brown: Ray... if we were like brothers, why are you paying Joe more than you're paying me?

    Ray Charles: Damn all that. You broke my heart.

    Jeff Brown: Well you know what, Ray? You broke mine a long goddamn time ago.

    Ray Charles: Well, there it is.

    [Jeff walks away]

    Jeff Brown: You know something, Ray? You're gonna get yours one day. And I pray to God he has mercy on your soul, you son of a bitch!

  • Della Bea Robinson: [talking about Ray's drug problem] You have got to stop this now because there is something you love more then me...

    Ray Charles: No, don't say that, Bea...

    Della Bea Robinson: ...there is something you love more then me, the children, and every woman you ever slept with.
