Ray is a biopic about Ray Charles, one of the most popular jazz musicians of all time (who also happens to be blind). Jamie Foxx plays the part of Ray Charles.
Some comparisons I found between Ray and Citizen Kane is that they both start off with Ray and Charles as children. Throughout the movie both of the main characters get something they want in life, for Ray is was to become a popular musician and for Charles it was to get lots of money. In the end both Ray and Charles lose someone they care a lot about. They lose that someone because they were both corrupted because of an addiction of theres; Ray was addicted to heroin and Charles was addicted to money.
The movie Ray took 15 years to produce, mainly because they needed to financial security. During the production of the film the real Ray Charles was given a Braille copy of the script to make sure everything was okay with him.
