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.

Ray quotes

  • Oberon: You know, Marlene and Gossie's the ones running the game on you, Ray. They sliced up the pie the first night you played. Thirty-five percent off the top. Plus Gossie's double scale as leader.

    Ray Charles: Leader. If anyone's leadin' the band I'm the leader! You know what? Forget the bohumps. I'm goin' my own way.

    Oberon: Who's gonna book your gigs? Marlene's got you locked up and she ain't about to let her golden goose go.

    Lady in Rain: [singing] Straighten up and fly right. Cool down papa don't you blow your top.

    [Speaking]

    Lady in Rain: Ray Robinson you are fan-tastic.

    Oberon: There you go man. Gimme some skin.

    Ray Charles: [Feels card in his hand] What's this?

    Oberon: Jack's card. I got his number at the hotel

  • Jack Lauderdale: So Ray, we got to talk about your name, man. Robinson. I mean, Sugar Ray got to Robinson franchise all sewed up. So I'm thinking we go with your middle name: Charles. As in "Ray Charles."

    Ray Charles: I don't care what you call me, man, just as long as my name is on the record.
