Love is all around *_^

Ray Charles(Civil Right)

Summary
Ray was not born blind this is why he knew how to play the piano very well. I said that cuz' i thought he was born blind when i saw the tittle of this movie in ethe cinema. Ray has one little brother who died when he was a childhood by failing into the tub that his mother use for her job as laundry. Ray was so confused when he saw his brother fail into the tub, he didn't know that his lil brother couldn't get out of the tub as he tried. Anyway Ray supposed that he killed his brother and he was always felt sorry about it and always in his imagination.

After while Ray became bline, I was not so clear about why he became bline but the tear kept running out of his eyes until he didn't see anything. I do adore his mother, she is the perfect mother and she's deserved to be one. Ray's mother always taught him to be strong and to help himself, Stand on his own feet as a blind. Just like one thing she said;

You may be blind but you ain't stupid

This woman is amazing, she worked so hard and always had her own motto to teach her son. I like her ^__^!.

Before Ray became blind he learnt the piano from the old guy who play piano in the pub at the place where he lived. Ray came from the south and I had some information that people on the south played Gospal music which is about God or something that put the words that about God in the lyrics.

The thing that i don't understand is why when he became famous and he wanted to play his own music with the Gospal stuffs, and some people resisted him. How could his music related to the Rock 'n Roll??

I'm still quite behind for the american music but I'm doing my best to learn..^_^!

So when it's time for Ray to go to school, his mother left him to the blind school. i didn't understand the way she did for him but anyway when Ray grew up he'd found himself as a pianist and he did it excellently!

Ray had one wife but during his music on the road he was such a playboy( i don't like this thing about him) and he used drug. He got caught once but the record company helped him out. Then he started doing his music again but he still didn't give up the drugs. Ray became more and more famous but oly one thing was drugs. Finally he tried so hard to give up the drugs by stay in the hospital did the treatment until it's done.
Ray also became accepted by the union and the other people who did't like him before. He got many reward. And he passed away 2 years ago! in 2004..i didn't know that before..lol

My opinion & What I have seen

-Jazz music + R&B music
: It's the music that Ray played I think. I'm not so sure but i guess Jazz+R&B= Rock 'n Roll music?

-Gospal Music
: I didn't know what's wrong with this type of music that made some people resisted Ray. It's the music that coulor skin people from the south play and it's about God. I don't know what's wrong with it?

-Playboy
: Even blind man, when he became famous and artist many girls wanted to be with him. I don't really agree with his idea to be a playboy. And what i have found that the guy who's truely has the artist blood, they are playboy because they looked charming in front of girls.

-Drugs
: in the movie they said he had the heroin, it was so awful time that he addictive to it. I like to seen that his wife ,Bea, came to him and told him about his son's successful with his sport. then she said if u don't give up the drug u would loss one thing that u love more than me and my son and everything that is "music"..i think that one made Ray think about and started to do the treatment for quicking the drugs..^_^

-The Change
: I'm still talking about music(cuz' in the movie it's about music) and how it change. It's like fighting between the modern attitude people and conservative people. Conservative and Religionist couldn't accept on what Ray did on his music as Ray tried to change things.

I think it's always like this for many period of time in every kind of thing for example the people who discovered science the conservative people would think they didn't respect the nature and so. But finally we need science and that make now aday people are more open with changing and innovation stuffs.
