Jamie Foxx was so good in his characterization of the man himself, it was eerie. Everything looked & sounded (lip sync & otherwise) like the real thing! |

The plot and general tone of the movie was kinda a "made for TV" type level. The ending was especially weak. But YMMV, as they say. I'm sure many folks will enjoy the movie. |

BTW, I know that I'm OCD'ing on minutiae, but I noticed the quick clips on the Telefunken U47s at the Atlantic studios. Did they have quick clips back then? |

One thing I always enjoy in films like this are all the old instruments, cases, recorders, etc. In the studio scenes, Ray and the background singers sang into U47s. Lovely! But after a while, I realised that the shock mounts used with the 47s were not from that period, though they are very simaler to the original article. Also, the mic clips are setup with quick-releases that AFAIK, are more modern devices not yet invented in the 50s and 60s. Am I right in this (admittedly small) detail? Can anyone tell me when those quik releases were first invented? Mark Lemaire |

Actually.... there was a scene just like that. He starts singing and you can't hear him, and he spins the mic around and he's good. -Tom |

Since Foxx was a piano major in college (I understand), and played his own piano in the movie, I'd say it was the real thing. |
