@@felipe87912 that's exactly what he is saying. "he deserved that oscar", meaning the Oscar that he DID get. If he hadn't received an oscar, you would say "he deserved THE oscar".
My guitar instructor in college played with Ray Charles. He once told me about a time where he had forgotten his pass and security at a venue didn’t believe he was Ray’s guitarist. At the same time he was arguing with security, Ray was being walked past them. So my teacher says “Ask Ray, he’ll tell you who I am” Without thinking, the security guard asks Ray: “have you seen this guy before?” Without missing a beat, Ray says “I haven’t seen that man a day in my life....yeah that’s my guitar player, let him in.” 😂
5:03 I love this moment because it establishes a humanity while also keeping him 100% professional. Of course he was blind, with no way he could tell the mic was backwards. Still he fixed it literally without missing a beat.
With no way he could tell? Bud SOUND was different. Prolly felt different too. And with other senses being heightened to make up for the lack of vision, it makes perfect sense...
Jamie Foxx really committed to this role by gluing his eyes shut throughout the filming of this movie, which is awesome imo. I think after a party or after filming, they accidentally left without him on set, forgetting that he couldn't see.
Can confirm, there's interviews where fellow cast and crew admit to forgetting Foxx couldn't see and they accidentally left him behind at lunch breaks.

At this point I don’t even see Jamie Foxx anymore, all I see is Ray Charlies. A true embodiment of what an actor should be. A complete transformation of the soul.
4:34 “What’d I Say” was Ray Charles’s first Top 10 pop single and the greatest improvised song in rock & roll history. After playing every song he knew and still having 12 minutes to fill, Ray Charles composed this amazing piece of music, on the fly, at a club in Brownsville, Pennsylvania during December 1958. The depiction in the movie is quite accurate. Genius.....
“Ray” and “The temptation” are the best movie portrayals about the musicians. Master pieces! But Ray is in my opinion the best biopic movie about a musician ever! Plus the casting is on point!!!
4:36- 6:47 now that's talent! Do you know how insync this man was with his band for him to make up a song on the spot and everyone is on point like they already rehearsed it.
"NONE".....other than Jamie Fox could play Ray Charles in a movie....."And Win An Oscar Award" for his portrayal of Ray....It was uncanny watching Jamie as Ray
I watched this movie so many times and I'm just realizing how much he embodied the legendary Ray Charles Oh btw Michael b Jordan is a extra in this movie.

You only get goose bumps when it’s the right time. Ray Charles just does that to me every time, he broke so many boundaries as a musician and as a man.
It's odd for me, that you would use the word "scary ", because I've always used scary to describe the affect on me regarding how "very" much Jamie Fox resembles Ray Charles,....a doppelganger even !!
Jamie Foxx gets all the credit for this film, and he deserves it. But rarely is director Taylor Hackford mentioned for his outstanding direction, and he also deserves it.
So beautiful a performance and the story - brings to tears... He did this without using his sight, and he played those notes, at the coaching and approval of Ray Charles. Spiritual, if you ask me.
I was a senior in college during the height of the Viet Nam war and went to one of his concerts. The first song he sang was "America the Beautiful" and I had NEVER heard it sung that way before. I don't know what happened but I found tears streaming down my face it was so powerful.
Did y'all know they had to glue Jamie Foxx eye's for this roll! His eyes were glued shut as long as 12 hours. Anyone else would of said ,eff this BS I'm not doing it. The way Jamie embodied The Legend Ray Charles, no one else was fit for this roll. Now we know why Jamie Foxx was born. Please get well Jamie, although we don't deserve you, we love you. You still have work to do.🙏❤️💪
Jamie Foxx deserves every award there is...golden globe, Oscar and whatever else is available...wow what a great performance....Jamie had Ray Charles moves and voice down , amazing 👌👍👏😎
jamie foxx is the most talented human being ever lived. He can act like an oscar winning actor, sings like a grammy award winning artist, and a world class comedian
Not being funny he can do stand-up ,act drama ,impressions ,sing in his voice and imitate others and hes in great shape ,shit he one of the rare blessed men on earth
if there is such a place as heaven I hope Ray Charles gets in. Him and Freddie Mercury have got to be some of the best singers and performers to ever live.
I am not a Jamie fox fan at all but if u watch this and watch Ray Charles hit the road jack 1996 u can't tell me the difference. Well done Jamie on this 1
His music is timeless and so utterly brilliant truely one of the if not the greatest recording artist that ever lived. What a legend. And Jamie foxes performance is so perfect u almost forget that it isn’t ray Charles.
I remember back in Highschool. Our music teacher (God Bless her) put for us this biopic. I had the best time of my life watching it, since basically my family raised me listening to Ray's song.
The Hit The Road Jack tells you almost everything you need to know about Ray's life. Everything's around him burning, his love life in shambles, drugs have their grips on him, but he cuts through all of that to perfect his music. It's his first and last true love.
I dicovered "What I'd Say" a few years ago and loved that song from the first second. When I discovered that this bloody genius improvised it on stage I couldn't believe my eyes !!!
Mr Ray Charles, one of a kind, was created to bring God's musical genius to mankind and sooth the hearts and minds of His people (The Negro) during their times of racial, economic, political and spiritual trials and tribulation in America. ❤ All PRAISES TO THE MOST HIGH 🙏🏽
It is a 100% true story, Ray Charles himself said that he wrote the song in the spot one night when they finished the set 20 minutes early so in order to fulfill the contract he played What’d I Say on the spot. After playing it couple more nights he called Atlantic Records and told them he had been playing this song on the road and that they needed to record it as soon as possible because people were going crazy for it.
That is Not Jamie singing. They just do a very good job in making it look that way otherwise the movie would not work. No One and I mean No One Ever and Never Will Sing Like Ray Charles!

Can only imagine what it was like to see Ray Charles Live on Stage. I never got a chance to see him at a Concert before he left us. I'm sad that I never did but happy that we still get to enjoy His Music.
