Ray (2004)
La vida de Ray Charles es una alternancia de triunfos y fracasos personales que se suceden a lo largo de una dilatada y galardonada carrera en el mundo del espectáculo. Pero estamos hablando de un hombre que sintetizó sus luchas, su dolor y su oscuridad personal con la misma efectividad con la que supo fundir en su arte una miríada de estilos musicales: el jazz, el rhythm & blues, el rock & roll, el gospel y el country. Su historia tiene entonces un sentido muy distinto: la cadena de logros se transforma en el vibrante y conmovedor trayecto de un genio único con una visión propia que enseñó al mundo a escuchar música de una forma nueva. RAY es la biografía, nunca contada antes, de esa leyenda de la música americana que es Ray Charles. Se centra en el período más explosivo de la carrera de Charles, que comienza cuando este joven negro ciego se sube solo a un autobús en Florida y cruza el país para refinar su arte en la floreciente escena jazzística de Seattle.
