Reginald Titus Jr.: Welcome to Filmmaker Commentary. I'm Reginald Titus Jr. I'm joined with...
Casey G. Smith: Casey G. Smith.
Reginald Titus Jr.: Welcome back, sir.
Casey G. Smith: Good to be back, sir.
Reginald Titus Jr.: It's been a while.
Casey G. Smith: It has.
Reginald Titus Jr.: But, uh, here we are.
Casey G. Smith: We are. Here.
Reginald Titus Jr.: So today we are going over the film Ray, directed by Taylor Hackford in 2004, starring Jamie Foxx. We're covering films this month in acknowledgement of the Academy Awards because this is Academy Award season. So we're covering films that were winners of Academy Awards and/or nominated, you know, either one.
Casey G. Smith: Yes. And this film definitely, uh, fits the bill with not one, not two, not three, not four, not five, but six nominations for Academy Awards and two wins, one for obviously, uh, Jamie Foxx for Best Performance by an Actor in a Leading Role and for Best Achievement in Sound Mixing.
Reginald Titus Jr.: Yep. 2005 Academy Awards.
Casey G. Smith: Yes, sir.
Reginald Titus Jr.: So let's jump into the synopsis real quick or do we want to go into the movies watched? Do we want to do that first?
Casey G. Smith: Let's go with movies watched.
Reginald Titus Jr.: Okay. All right. Movies watched. What are some movies that you watched? It's been a couple weeks, so we're kind of playing catch up. Um, what have you seen?
Casey G. Smith: I have seen La Bala. Uh, the recent film that came out uh with Gina Rodriguez uh in the lead. Um, nice little film. Uh, pretty much the trailer let you know exactly what the film is and and it's true to the trailer. Okay. Not not bad. Not great.
Reginald Titus Jr.: How's it performing in the box office? Is like, is it a limited release or is it?
Casey G. Smith: I think it had a main main main uh a wide, fairly wide release. And uh I looked the other day at at some of its it's performance and it seemed like it it did pretty decent the first, uh, during this first week. But, uh, the I think there's not not a lot of competition uh out aside from some of the, you know, kids movies and some things that are kind of just hanging in there. So, decent performance at the box office.
Reginald Titus Jr.: Okay, La Bala.
Casey G. Smith: La Bala. And then also, uh, non-film related, I've been watching, uh, True Detective Season 3 with Mahershala Ali. That's been nice. It's got a lot of the, a lot of similar feels of the first season. Uh, and it kind of a throwback. And and Mahershala Ali is crushing it. The themes of of of time. And you can see from the trailers, you see him at three different periods of his character's life. And when he plays like this older man, he's convincing as hell. Oh man, he is he's good. He's on it. He's on his game. He the man is about his business.
Reginald Titus Jr.: About his business. About his business.
Casey G. Smith: How about you, man? What have you been seeing?
Reginald Titus Jr.: The only thing I've kind of had time for is, uh, I finally watched Incredibles 2. Okay. Watch it, saw it on Netflix, I'm like, oh, let's check this out. And it took a took us a couple days to watch it, you know, you watch it, fall asleep, then came back the next day and watched it. But , uh, enjoyed it, but it's it looks almost too real. Like I I I favor the first one more than this one just because it's getting to that point where it's like, okay, let's stick with this let's stick with the animation. It's starting to look, it's crossing over to looking too real.
Casey G. Smith: The uncanny valley. Yes.
Reginald Titus Jr.: I can definitely appreciate it, but I, yeah, there's some parts in there that looked a little too real. I'm just like,
Casey G. Smith: Made you uncomfortable?
Reginald Titus Jr.: Yeah, it just it's it looks like it's a mixture of animation and like CGI that they use like in like say a Marvel film or something like that. And when you kind of mix it like that, it's like, okay, is this supposed to look real? Is this a style that they're going for or like, you know, what's the style in like movies like Spider-Man, the Spider-Verse? Did I say that right?
Casey G. Smith: Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse.
Reginald Titus Jr.: Into the Spider-Verse. You don't have to appreciate when they take the animation approach and then they have like a specific style for their animation. This one seems like it's kind of crossing over to CGI mixed in and the CGI looks real, so I'm not not too much of a fan of that per se. But I enjoyed the story and movie, of course.
Casey G. Smith: Already, already.
Reginald Titus Jr.: Yes. So, yeah, that's pretty much it. Also, we've been, um, you know, I do a lot of editing on my desktop. So, you know, while I'm doing editing and doing some of these other projects, I'll play like YouTube and things like that in the background. And, uh, there's a show, uh, Killer Mike has a show on Netflix called Trigger Warning. And he's been getting a lot of press, you know, a lot of promotions, um, talking about this film because it triggers you when you watch it. You know, he's talking about race and politics and things like that. So a lot of people are actually talking about that. So I'm actually looking forward to watching that in the next week or so.
Casey G. Smith: Where is and where is that?
Reginald Titus Jr.: It's on it's on Netflix.
Casey G. Smith: On Netflix.
Reginald Titus Jr.: It's original. Uh-huh.
Casey G. Smith: And again, it's called Trigger...
Reginald Titus Jr.: Trigger Warning.
Casey G. Smith: Trigger Warning. Duly noted.
Reginald Titus Jr.: Yes, indeed. So, let's jump back into the show.

Film Synopsis and First Impressions
Reginald Titus Jr.: All right, thanks for tuning in. We are talking about Ray 2004, directed by Taylor Hackford. Let's go into the synopsis. Jamie Foxx stars as the one of a kind innovator of soul who overcame impossible odds to become a music legend. Ray is the triumphant and remarkable story of one of America's true musical geniuses, Ray Charles. From his humble beginnings in the South through his meteoric rise to the top of American music charts, Ray's inspirational journey is a tale of hope, redemption, and the power of the human spirit. Ray is electrifying, hails Peter Travers of Rolling Stone. Witness the incredible true story of a musician who fought harder and went further than anyone could imagine. Ray. When did you actually, when when did you watch this film? You know, when was your first time seeing it?
Casey G. Smith: So my first time seeing it actually was on DVD. Uh this came out at a time where I wasn't, uh, I wasn't going to the movies a lot. Actually you and I, we had made a run through a half price books that was that was had a sale on all kinds of DVDs and whatnot. And I saw it there and I said, yes, I think it's time. And so I scooped it up, watched it and was was blown away. Uh absolutely mesmerized. And and I grew up, my dad played Ray Charles, again I grew up in a household listening to everything. But my dad was always making tapes for every occasion. He would have stuff, you know, by Ray Charles that even now, I'm still I'm I'm trying to find on different streaming sites and still having uh trouble finding stuff. I can find it on YouTube, but like finding some of the albums like, you know, look what they've done to my song and, you know, singing a song for you and, uh, God bless the child that's got his own, uh, his renditions of some of those songs. But uh, but yeah, this this film just, yeah, just floored me. Jamie Foxx's performance and then when you when you see the behind the scenes footage of him and and Ray together, like when he's kind of like almost like auditioning with Ray. That it's it's it's it's pretty powerful. It was uh, yeah, just it's an it's an amazing cast also when you look at all the people that are in it and uh what they're able to to pull off and Jamie Foxx absolutely deserved the the Academy Award for this. But the director as well.
Reginald Titus Jr.: Yeah.
Casey G. Smith: He, I mean, they this is quite a feat and that you hear that it's a it's an independent film, uh, and that he was working on this for years.
Reginald Titus Jr.: Speaking of which, dude, I totally forgot to go into the budget and box office.
Casey G. Smith: So, what I've got here, I don't have anything, so yeah.
Reginald Titus Jr.: I don't have anything.
Casey G. Smith: No worries. We got you. Uh, so it looks like we've got according to IMDb Pro, we have a budget of 40 million dollars. Okay. Opening weekend, 20 million. Okay. Uh, gross worldwide, 124 million 731,534 dollars. That's a win. And then literally, I remember in the commentary, the director saying that literally there was like almost like I think a single person that bankrolled the whole thing. That's crazy. Indeed. But that's that's his belief. I mean, again, he had this, he had the rights to this film, you know, 15 years prior. Wow. And the fact that again, Ray Charles, Ray Charles literally literally has his hands and imprints on the on the film. is is amazing and and it's felt. So.
Reginald Titus Jr.: That's crazy. That's crazy.
Casey G. Smith: Yeah. True.
Reginald Titus Jr.: How about you, man? When when did you first see Ray?
Casey G. Smith: Um, so this was around 2004. There was a lot of buzz going around with Jamie Foxx at this time. So around 2004, he was, you know, doing a lot of singing. He had his album. He had the uh the Gold Digger song that had came out with Kanye West. So, uh, Jamie Foxx was using his Ray Charles voice to make other music. So that buzz around Jamie Foxx was just everywhere. He was on fire that year. That's true. And, uh, I don't know if we went to the theater. I don't even remember. I saw it while it was still new. Uh, I just don't even, I probably just went to the theater to see it. I just don't remember the story behind watching it. Um, but I do remember watching it when it was hot at the time and was blown away. You know, it was the buzz. Everybody was talking about it. When they were getting nominated, it was everybody was talking about it winning Oscars and things like that. So once it happened, everybody started watching the film. So I remember being caught up in that. Uh, truly enjoyed it and, uh, yeah. This time around, did you, did you watch it again or did you just jump into the commentary?
Casey G. Smith: Oh, I watched it again. I wanted to. I want to watch it again. Uh, just again, it had it had been eight years or something like that. Yeah, so I was like, you know what, let me let me check it out again and see what I, you know, may have missed. Uh, and I I I enjoy these kinds of movies that are autobiographical and and and based on singers and performers kind of like, you know, Cadillac Records and even non-fictional ones like The Five Heartbeats. I just I I dig when they go back to those eras. 40s, 50s, uh, 60s. And yeah, enjoy hearing the music. And again, Ray wrote so many songs. And again, just to watch Jamie Foxx's performance. And it literally is he becomes Ray incarnate. Yeah, he becomes young Ray Charles and you're like, yeah, okay. Like, you know, sometimes in in a performance you can still just see the actor. Yeah. In this, it's like, no. And again, having your eyes closed and having shades on, I think that that definitely helps because you can't see their eyes and so many times about acting is about being able to see in somebody's eyes. So the fact that he had shades on the whole time. I think definitely makes a difference. But the just the performance.
Reginald Titus Jr.: It's been a while.
Reginald Titus Jr.: Yeah. Dedication, man.
Reginald Titus Jr.: This time around, this is my first time watching the film. I was like, I want to watch the film because this is how long was this movie?
Casey G. Smith: Uh, it clocks in at 152. Yeah, so did I. I I did I did the theatrical.
Reginald Titus Jr.: And I watched the theatrical version. So I like to look at the extended version or whatever. But this time around, I was like, I can't. Like, the last two weeks, I've been limited on time. So, this is my first time watching the film. Even though I wanted to watch it and then go back and watch the commentary, I was like, I just didn't have the time. So, I just dove right into the commentary.
Casey G. Smith: Straight into the commentary.
Reginald Titus Jr.: But Taylor is his commentary is so refreshing that I didn't really need to. You know, he's like walking walking you through this thing.
Casey G. Smith: He's just nailing it. Yeah. Covering covering like every scene. Yeah. He he was on point. So it was still powerful visually. Um, watching even though he was talking, it was like, the scene when, um, uh, Ray's mom, she's crying, she just loses it at the the old school church, like, man, like, tears coming out like, yeah, you you take me one of them old churches and you play piano, you give me every time. Oh, Five Heartbeats, you know, you you take me to take me to some old school gospel and you're singing like, that's gonna that's gonna make make my tears fall. So yeah, so like parts I like how he captures emotion. So, uh, those scenes were still powerful even though I couldn't hear the dialogue.
Reginald Titus Jr.: Yeah, he's like, oh, man, like, tear just tears coming out. Oh, that's what he was doing.
Casey G. Smith: Wow. Okay, that's cool, man. That's cool. Yeah, that's cool. Yeah, that's I I went back and I did watch it again. Uh, again, I wanted to take it all in. Mm-hm. But that was about a week ago. I was watch it let it set and then this time dropped it in and again, I put it at 1.5 and let it go. And again, and this guy and man, Taylor is just banging out this information. I was like, man, I might have to slow this down. But but it was just enough for I could I could listen, I could still do it. I was like, all right. But yeah, he was just rolling. And I I give praise to this director because I I love when I hear director commentaries when they are very when when they're just doling out credit left and right to people and trying to make sure they give everybody their their just due. I love hearing that when they're just, oh yeah, this this person did this and then when they can name each actor that shows up in the scene and, uh, I yeah, I marvel at that.
Reginald Titus Jr.: Yeah, he was fast.
Reginald Titus Jr.: Was that Brad Bird that did that? Um, that was, um, you know, the first Incredibles when he was just like, shout out to the animation department and this, this, this.
Casey G. Smith: Yeah, yeah. Brad Bird was doing that. Um, there's a couple, uh, of other directors that are just really good about just sharing sharing the praise and sharing the credit.
Reginald Titus Jr.: And when you get a win too, it also helps.
Casey G. Smith: Doesn't hurt at all. This is also, this I mean, clearly this is a passion project though for this director. Dude. Uh, and he talk about a perfect storm. He even says that. He's glad that he had to wait 15 years to make it. You know, he wouldn't have had a Jamie Foxx.
Reginald Titus Jr.: True.
Reginald Titus Jr.: So yeah, so it was strange to see the commentary in this way and I actually I I got lucky, you know. Yeah, I was able to enjoy it with him. Um, do you have like any favorite scenes or anything like that this go around?
Casey G. Smith: Yeah. So it was a good one.
Casey G. Smith: Oof. Man. Um, there's a lot of good scenes in this in this film. So the one that that that was one that stood out to me the first time I saw it, that I was, you know, I'm sure you got to laugh in the theater too, was, you know, when he's when he's grabbing the wrists of the ladies to kind of feel. Just grab grab grab, hold the wrist. I like oh oh yeah, that's nice that's real nice. I dig that. I dig that right there. Yeah. Him grabbing the wrists of of of the women. Uh, just me out. When he, uh, when he's, you know, he makes sure that he gets his money counted out in singles and when he's think thinks he's being cheated by the guy and he literally jumps across the table and gets into a fight, I'm like, man, this guy is not afraid. Um, man, I I love the scene when he has to do all the voices, all the parts for the song. Yeah, man. There's just there's a lot of there's there's a lot of good scenes in here. Him carrying Carry Washington across the the threshold, you know, she looks concerned. Yeah, yeah. And she's like, what what's going on? Yeah, yeah, man. Just, uh, it's just it's just continual. And I know I'm missing some, but those are some that kind of popped in my mind. How about you?
Reginald Titus Jr.: Yeah.
Reginald Titus Jr.: This scene is the uh he's going to play for like a country band or whatever. He's like, we don't play boogie woogie. Yeah, like, what is that? I want to hear it. What are you blind? Oh man. Like, yeah.
Casey G. Smith: Yeah.
Reginald Titus Jr.: Yes, sir. Ever since I was seven years old. Yeah, like, oh, okay.
Casey G. Smith: Well, this here is a country.
Reginald Titus Jr.: I like how they're how they show how he's adapting, you know, as a, uh, um, as a kid who's losing his sight, you know, how he's adapting to everything and, you know, starting to experience the world. That was like, oh, we're on the journey.
Casey G. Smith: Mm-hm. He rolls the journey.
Reginald Titus Jr.: And this flawed, this flawed hero. Yeah.
Casey G. Smith: Um, but I pre I appreciate the openness and honesty that again, that Ray Charles was willing to let them show about himself. Uh, and again, though, the director even said that he feels that if this hadn't been an independent film, they wouldn't have been able to to show Ray in all his complexities. And all all sides, you know, all the all, you know, him being the heroin addict and also a womanizer. Oh, you know, we can't be sympathetic to him. And it's just, no, that's not true. We just see all of his flaws and and we see things, people will see different things that they relate to. You know, good and and bad within within him as just the human experience.
Reginald Titus Jr.: Mm-hm.

Themes and Technical Details
Reginald Titus Jr.: What are some of the themes in this film? I got a few.
Casey G. Smith: All right. Kick it off.
Reginald Titus Jr.: Making the choice between I said art and death. You know, or you know, death kind of like it could be symbolized like through like sins. You know, you gotta make that choice. You know, are you gonna go, are you gonna live for the art or are you gonna let these sins and and these things that that you're indulging in the flesh kind of bring you down. You know, you gotta make that choice, whether that be, you know, you know, cheating on your wife or going after the drugs, like, this is gonna be your downfall if you just don't break free from it. Um, so that, isolation. You could see with, uh, with, uh, Jamie Foxx what, well, with Ray that he was isolated just being a person that couldn't see. The director talked about him being an isolated person. But they would show that visually with him being, you know, in the bus, you know, kind of in his own seat while the guys are gambling and stuff like that. Then you would see like Kerry Washington, her feeling isolated as well because they're just in their own world. So, you got this big old house, but she's just in one room by herself and it's just real spacious, but she's still isolated because of the things that's happening. Um, so isolation being part of that and then, uh, a little bit of exploitation, you know, they're exploit, they call them race records for goodness sake. You know what I mean? Like, in Cadillac Records.
Casey G. Smith: Yeah. Yeah, Cadillac Records, with R&B. Good grief.
Reginald Titus Jr.: Yeah. Yeah, they were just like that. They were just playing like a jungle music. I can't remember.
Casey G. Smith: Rhythm and blues. Race to replace race records. And Cadillac Records, you know, these are race records. Yeah. Playing that jungle music, you know, calling that jungle music. Boogie woogie.
Reginald Titus Jr.: Yeah. Jungle music.
Casey G. Smith: Oh, man.
Reginald Titus Jr.: Got to love America.
Casey G. Smith: America.
Reginald Titus Jr.: So yeah, that's a couple themes that that popped out to me.
Casey G. Smith: So I I, um, I think actually Taylor mentioned this one, the theme of ghosts. Uh, because throughout most of, uh, Ray's life, you know, up until up until he goes into rehab, you know, he's haunted by the the ghost of the of the past, not only his his mother, but also his his, uh, before I say it, if this is your first time listening to Filmmaker Commentary, we're gonna let you know that there will be spoilers. You've been forewarned midway. It's okay. So, uh, his dead brother, uh, is a ghost that haunts him throughout the the entirety of the of the film. So definitely there are themes of ghosts. Uh, also what his mom says to him at the beginning and the end of the movie, handicapping yourself, which kind of plays into what you're talking about as far as whether or not you're going to give into the sins or or or things that can kill you or killing you on the inside from pursuing your your your dreams and ultimate goals or the things that you love. Um, because he loves his music more than anything else, but he also loves his family and so handicapping yourself and then under underestimation. You know, throughout throughout the entire film, people constantly underestimate who he is and what he can do. And he he breaks past their expectations every single time. Um, even even, you know, getting off drugs, like that's just, I mean, the man's willpower. Once he sets his mind to something, it's like, he's gonna accomplish it, whether it's whether it's walking around New York City or whether it's cooking chicken, cooking fried chicken. Uh, you know, or whether it's, you know, being able to get the the the masters of his of his music. Uh, the master copies. It's like, wow. So, yeah, those are some themes I I saw.
Reginald Titus Jr.: In the dark.
Reginald Titus Jr.: In the dark, right?
Reginald Titus Jr.: Got it. For you filmmakers out there, you know, we got a few bullet points that we were we were able to take away from this commentary. So hopefully you can use it on your own productions.
Casey G. Smith: Real quick, do you have any quotes that stood out to you?
Reginald Titus Jr.: Uh, no, outside of the boogie woogie one, I don't have any. What about you?
Casey G. Smith: I I had two real quick. There's there's one when he, um, when he's first at that that first club and he's having to sleep with that woman all the time. And he tells the other guy, you lay the pipe. You want me to say, you you lay the pipe. And he's going on. Yeah, yeah. That one cracked me up. I'm like,
Reginald Titus Jr.: That's hilarious. I missed that one because I was looking at commentary. I didn't hear it.
Casey G. Smith: Yeah, cuz cuz they said to him earlier when they were driving in the car somewhere and he's like, I'm just so tired. She's she just won't leave me alone. And like, man, Ray, you got to keep laying that pipe, Ray. You got to keep laying that pipe. And so when he's ready to leave, he's like, he's like, you lay the pipe. I'm I'm I'm done. I'm out of here. And he's going down the road with his suitcase with with Quincy. And then one one line that stood out to me. I had I had a coworker quote this to me about a year ago. And I hadn't seen the movie Ray in a long time and and I just it hadn't stuck with me, but she's like, I'm gonna I'm gonna make it do what it do, baby. And like this coworker said it to me and I'm like, I was like, what's that from? Cuz he was saying it quite often. She was like, are you serious? You know, and she was like, she's like, look, she goes, I'm, you know, you know, Caucasian female, blah, blah, blah. She goes, don't make me have to school you on what what, I'm like, I was like, I said, I watch a lot of movies. So, she's like, Ray, and I'm like, oh, man. I'm like, okay.
Reginald Titus Jr.: She got you on that one. But because on top of that, uh, Jamie Foxx did a song. I'm gonna do what it do, baby. And so like, why this was all on fire, he made it a song. I make it do what it do, baby. Like that.
Casey G. Smith: Yeah. She got you on that one.
Reginald Titus Jr.: Yeah.
Casey G. Smith: So these are quotes. I took notes this time. I will not be caught sleeping again. Uh, any any, uh, before the the tips, any kind of special trivia that you saw? I had a couple things I had I had noted. Couple little tidbits. Uh, number one, shout out to the to the, uh, the other co-writer of the film, uh, James L. Wright, who helped who helped with a lot of the African-American dialogue. And I thought it was cool that that Taylor Hackford gave credit to him saying, you know, we had him him write that dialogue because he has African-American experience, you know, I don't. Uh, I'm like, oh, that's pretty cool. Um,
Reginald Titus Jr.: That was that was actually gonna be one of the bullet points, but yeah, yeah. Yeah, my phone.
Casey G. Smith: Jump into the gun.
Reginald Titus Jr.: It is okay.
Casey G. Smith: Um, you know, he talked about not shying away from conflict, which definitely helped the film. Uh, the fact that Jamie Foxx played piano throughout this whole production. Uh, and finding out that he actually went to school on a piano scholarship. Mm-hm. Yeah, I was like, yeah, I knew he played by I didn't know he went on a piano scholarship. I was like, oh, that's pretty pretty amazing. Uh, Ray Charles actually composed, um, some original music for the film itself. He said Ray was actually the first to use a a a three girl background group. Like, he was like the first to do that. I'm like, huh. So when he had the the Raelettes that was like, he was like kind of pioneering that and then others began to follow. Um, they mentioned one little tip that, you know, before American Bandstand, a lot of dances were were regional. Yeah. And then, you know, TV began to kind of homogenize them. Uh, when Ray gets arrested in Indianapolis, he said that's, you know, I was surprised because that was actually home home to the clan. I didn't know they were based in Indianapolis. I'm like, huh. Uh, and of course he said, you know, Taylor mentioned that he actually walked away from the film twice. Because because because they wanted to have the PG-13 rating on it. Tripin. Yeah. And then, but then Ray told him, said, look, man, I I, you know, you're a professional, uh, he said, I'm a professional, he goes, you know, you're gonna have things you don't like. He goes, but I I've made all my records work even though through disagreements. So you can, you can make this film work. And, uh, he finally came back to him, did it. And he said that, you know, he was still able to make things racy, but still work out and, you know, not not have to change the dialogue again. And Ray told him like, you know, look, you know, back in the 50s, you know, I didn't use that. Even though I said the F-word now, I didn't use it back then. Right. And I was like, huh, that's that's fascinating. That that just again, that just transparency. And then, yeah, 96 musical cues that, uh, Jamie Foxx had to learn and be ready for.
Reginald Titus Jr.: I was tripping. That's a trip.
Reginald Titus Jr.: Man. Man. Yeah, I can definitely appreciate it. It being PG-13, but I was like, you're walking, you're gonna walk away from the film just cuz you can't get the rating. Like, I don't see it needing to be rated R. You know, even with, um, you know, I mean, you can be explicit if you wanted to and show like, you know, sex stuff like that, but it's kind of unnecessary.
Casey G. Smith: Well, he brought up a good point of saying, in the in the in the scene where where Ray and, um, and his wife, future wife, are in bed, Ray and Kerry Washington are in bed, and he says there's a difference between showing intimacy and sex. And I thought that was that's really smart. I think, you know, for filmmakers, knowing that difference because there are some movies that have just sex scenes for like no reason at all. Other other to be honest, to be honest, other than just to have an actress naked. Yeah, exploitation. Yeah, exactly. It's just it's just exploitation. And when it when it doesn't make sense, that that does bother me in in in a film.
Reginald Titus Jr.: Exploitation.
Reginald Titus Jr.: Most horror films kind of do that for you.
Casey G. Smith: Well, yes. A lot of a lot of horror films do it. That's a that's a quirk of the genre. Yep. Yeah. But it's like when it's just like just I'm like this doesn't serve any any purpose. It's just
Reginald Titus Jr.: But yeah, for him to walk away, like to walk away twice. He's like, ah, like, come on, bro. You had to Ray Charles had to school him a little bit like, there's more things to to fight for.
Casey G. Smith: Yeah.
Reginald Titus Jr.: Pick your battles, baby. Pick your battles. And and it's also another point, you know, it's like, hey, if you want to make rules, cut the check. You know what I mean?
Casey G. Smith: Yeah.
Reginald Titus Jr.: The person that made the rule was the person that was cutting the 40 million dollar check.
Casey G. Smith: And they were more conservative.
Reginald Titus Jr.: Yeah, it's like, break, like, you cut the check, then you can make your rated R, Ray Charles film.
Casey G. Smith: You can go raunchy Ray all the way.
Reginald Titus Jr.: If you got that money.
Casey G. Smith: They were saying that they call them the Raelettes and that means you gotta let Ray. Let Ray. Like, dang. What? That's some trivia for your butt.
Reginald Titus Jr.: What?
Casey G. Smith: One of the deleted scenes, it's right right as he's on the road, right as he's grabbing, you know, he's showing him grabbing the lady's wrist. There's a a montage scene of women coming in and it's it's weird cuz like it's like a bunch of images where they're showing an image in the right hand corner and then an image in the left hand corner, like these fading images of women like opening the door to his place coming in. And it's like a maybe 30, 45 second scene of women coming in, women like just kind of, you know, getting up out of the bed, women women leaving. And it's a lot. And I'm like, oh, it would have been too much. It would it would it would I think it would have made you say, oh, this man, this guy. Yeah, so it's smart that they that they cut it. Cuz yeah, it doesn't make him look like, it doesn't yeah, it's like, yeah.
Reginald Titus Jr.: Yeah, she looks concerned.
Reginald Titus Jr.: Revolving door.
Reginald Titus Jr.: Little too real.
Casey G. Smith: Yeah, yeah. Little too real. Yeah.

Filmmaking Tips and Academy Award Discussion
Reginald Titus Jr.: All right, so here's some tips for you guys. So, um, the director, he mentioned that this is kind of like a horror film. Like, yeah, there's like some bits of horror in it, you know, when you're talking about the ghost. And it's it's kind of creepy, you know, when you first see, uh, Ray in the water that starts creeping up and you see this little kid's arm out of nowhere. Was it, uh, a tub that he was reaching into when his little brother's, um, arm is popping out? And it's the first time you see it, so you totally don't expect it.
Casey G. Smith: Suitcase. It's his suitcase.
Reginald Titus Jr.: Suitcase. That's right. Because he has Quincy to close him.
Casey G. Smith: Yeah. Yeah, yeah.
Reginald Titus Jr.: Dude, that was so creepy. And you you don't expect it cuz you you're just in this musical world and you see a little baby arm. You're like, whoa.
Casey G. Smith: What is that?
Reginald Titus Jr.: So, um, you can find ways to blend another genre into your autobiographical piece or whatever you're shooting. You can kind of cross genres and and have a reason why you're doing it, though.
Casey G. Smith: Yeah, make it make sense.
Reginald Titus Jr.: Uh, he mentioned casting. Casting is always crucial. Literally, I mean, I don't see anybody being able to play Ray outside of Jamie Foxx, like, like, seriously, like, having the proper training to do that. Mm-hm. And the way that, uh, it's almost like he was made to play, he was born to play this role in a way because his musical background and him being a comedian. A lot of comedians mimic and look at how people talk and like mimic that to make things funny. Uh, but because his ear is trained, he can do it even better.
Casey G. Smith: Yes.
Casey G. Smith: So there's an interesting part too that again, when you watch the behind the scenes, when he and Ray, when he when he gets to meet him and they sit down, they they're both by pianos and then Ray's trying to like show him how to play the the the first part to Yeah, the eight bars, yeah. Yeah. Like, come on, baby. It's just just a couple, just a couple bars. And and like, and but Jamie doesn't shrink away. He he he rises to the occasion. But then after the fact, like, they wanted to step some more meetings, they have him come and meet with them and Jamie was like, Jamie didn't show up. And he's like, no, he goes, you know, I'm he said, I'm a sponge. And so if I'm hanging, if I'm hanging around old Ray all the time, then I I won't be able to give you young Ray. Mm-hm. And so he had to have that separation, got, you know, got to know him, got the blessing and then then he had to go and he found an old interview and used that to be the the template to to give birth to young Ray. But the fact that he could play piano like he could, fact that he could sing, but not so I mean not so much the sing aspect, but yeah, but the mimicry, just I mean, yeah, he was he was perfect. This this may be one of the the the best castings of all time.
Reginald Titus Jr.: Yeah. Yeah, he had to tell him that.
Reginald Titus Jr.: True. And people that like Quincy Jones, the people that were around Ray saying like, it's like, it's him. Is that Ray over there? Like,
Casey G. Smith: Even his son.
Reginald Titus Jr.: That's creepy.
Casey G. Smith: His son said, he said, there were there were times where I'd see I'd see Jamie in the live with him just white he would look and turn a certain way and I would think it was my dad.
Reginald Titus Jr.: For Jamie Foxx to tell the director that, that's kind of eye-opening because, you know, the director kind of got more excited about it, you know, you need to talk to Ray, you need to talk to Ray. Maybe that was from, uh, Jamie's training, you know, especially talking to Al Pacino back on Any Given Sunday and finding out some tricks of the trade on how to, you know, develop your characters and things like that. So that was smart on on Jamie's part, figuring out that little trick to tap into the old, the younger version of Ray.
Casey G. Smith: Younger version. And the director even said, he said, you know what? He said, Jamie was right. Yeah. Going with that decision. Jamie was was absolutely right. Like, again, I like this director. He's so he's humble, man.
Reginald Titus Jr.: He was like, what what else has he directed? I didn't even look at his uh, you know, his um, catalog of films.
Casey G. Smith: Mr. Hackford. Parker, Love Ranch, The Devil's Advocate?
Reginald Titus Jr.: What? He directed that?
Casey G. Smith: Uh, that looks a little bit more...
Reginald Titus Jr.: That looks a little bit more. Devil's Advocate is very stylized. This this film didn't seem as stylized as Devil's Advocate.
Casey G. Smith: Yeah. He did direct that. Yeah.
Reginald Titus Jr.: What? Yeah. He did direct that.
Casey G. Smith: He's the director.
Reginald Titus Jr.: What? Yeah. I'm gonna cut that out. Sorry, Taylor. It is what it is, player.
Casey G. Smith: Don't don't hate the player, hate the game, baby.
Casey G. Smith: Blood In. Oh shoot. He directed Blood In Blood Out?
Reginald Titus Jr.: No, man.
Casey G. Smith: Dang.
Reginald Titus Jr.: No wonder why he wanted to be rated R. Like, he did Devil's Advocate for goodness sake. And Blood In Blood Out. Man. He's a Chuck Berry. He's a Rated R land. Oh wait, he was a producer for The Boondocks. I was like, you He was like, you know, yeah.
Casey G. Smith: He's in the Rated R.
Reginald Titus Jr.: He's in the Rated R land.
Casey G. Smith: Oh wait, he was a producer for The Boondocks.
Reginald Titus Jr.: Yeah.
Casey G. Smith: He's he's got a strong tie. He likes he likes music. Definitely music based, uh, films. Okay. Cuz he's he pops up on on quite a few things that involve, uh, music.
Reginald Titus Jr.: Okay.
Reginald Titus Jr.: Another tip is, um, having your players, like your musicians, play like the actual songs while you're recording them. We talked about that in Godfather. Uh, but it gives that certain energy and then two, from a camera standpoint, you know, Jamie Foxx is actually playing the piano. You can see the hand movements and you can kind of just tilt up to him. So, you know, have your your musicians actually play the music. You know, it just gives a different energy versus you're just playing along and pretending.
Casey G. Smith: Definitely, especially if you're doing a a live scene with an audience and you're trying to have them, uh, engaged. And it's going to give you just more coverage as a as a whole, more things you can do because initially, again, Hackford was concerned before he before he even knew Jamie could play. That's the other thing. He didn't know Jamie Foxx could play the piano.
Reginald Titus Jr.: Yeah, that to me.
Casey G. Smith: When he brought him on.
Reginald Titus Jr.: I was like, bruh, what, Taylor? Come on, bro. Come on, how did you know that?
Casey G. Smith: He had he had seen some of his some of his acting stuff.
Reginald Titus Jr.: Who's this Jamie Foxx guy?
Casey G. Smith: Yeah, he just seen some of the acting stuff.
Reginald Titus Jr.: Sing first, bro. He was like, that's what he before any of this stuff. Anyhow, god dang it. But, hey, it just, uh, worked worked in his favor.
Reginald Titus Jr.: Lucky for him.
Casey G. Smith: Yeah. Cuz he was talking about, yeah, well, well, you know, we'll cut to this and that and you know, he's thinking about the tricks he would have to use. And he was like, no, man, I I play. I I play piano. I went to college on a piano, I think a classical piano scholarship. I was like, wow.
Reginald Titus Jr.: That's just part of the Jamie Foxx story, man. That's a hometown hero, you know what I mean? That's probably why we know about it, but like, man, you see when the country boys make it make it in Hollywood. Yes, sir. Using color. So when he when they would flashback to the scenes, uh, from when he was a a child, they were used a saturated look to make it look like it's a glowing, it's lively, vivacious. And, um, it's like this orangey kind of feel to it. Um, just to kind of remind us that, you know, he at one point in time he did see.
Casey G. Smith: Yes. And so these are literally literally his most vivid memories. Mm-hm. And so be able to use colors to be able to visually tell your story. And it's something that you notice it right away, you know, when flashbacks are like, okay, we're in we're in this world now.
Reginald Titus Jr.: Mm-hm.
Casey G. Smith: And what it was, it's an opposite process of what we normally see. When normally when there are dream sequences, usually they are darker and more Mercury and and and murky and and and cooler. And then you come back to reality and it's more saturated. But in this film, it's reversed. The flashbacks, the memories are again, bright, but then the main scenes of him calls are are are more more little more desaturated. Uh, kind of just remind you again that he's in the state of blindness. And and the director throughout the film does different things to, you know, he fades to black a lot just to remind us again that Ray is in a, you know, lives in a in a in a dark dark world, you know, and he's blind. He mentions that in the commentary.
Reginald Titus Jr.: Did it feel that way when you saw it, when it kept fading to black? Did you did you pick up on that or?
Casey G. Smith: I wouldn't have, yeah, if he had to say anything, I wouldn't it didn't it didn't I didn't catch it.
Reginald Titus Jr.: I think about that sometimes, but yeah, even with him saying that, I was like, you fade to black too much. That's also a thing, you know, from a from a visual standpoint. Like I could appreciate cuz I saw the film just visually. So I can I can appreciate the film, I think where it's strongest is getting the the story right, getting the screenplay right. Uh, since it was a huge ensemble cast, making sure everybody, you know, was on point. The music, make sure that was on point. Like all that stuff was right. Uh, but it felt like it was, um, from like an auteur like director, visually, I didn't really see that there, you know, it was just like, let's let's get the meat and move on of the scene.
Casey G. Smith: Yeah, I'm not sure how many, um, how long the shoot was as a whole. Again, most of it was shot in Louisiana. Yeah. Uh, and he only had about maybe four days or so that they did in LA. But the majority was in Louisiana. And with that, you talk about, you know, having the story down and the facts down. One of the tips that he mentioned is that, you know, throughout he talks about when you talk, he describes different scenes of different people meeting. He's very up front about saying, okay, this didn't actually happen in real life. Like these people didn't make this decision here or this this wasn't actually said to Ray. This was said maybe to another person that maybe Ray knew or was in the same company. So, he he talks about, you know, taking facts and condensing them into fictional stories. Yeah. That's what he tried to do. Take some things that are factual, but condensing them into fictional stories throughout. And so certain elements will change because again, it's still a movie, it's still fiction, it's not a documentary. Um, but just taking piece out of work to make to make to make them work within fiction. Um, yeah.
Reginald Titus Jr.: Yeah.
Reginald Titus Jr.: Yeah, I think that was smart because even though it's not a documentary or anything like that, we still will quote it as if it really happened. Like that's how powerful these movies are. Um, I know some of the same issues was was in that movie, uh, was it Monster with, uh, Charlize Theron? Some of some of those facts were a little bit, you know, some were made up and, um, it can cause issues, you know, because people think some of these things were true when they really weren't. Um, they just take a little bit of liberty.
Casey G. Smith: It's a fictional piece. It's again, not it's not, um, it's not a documentary. But this
Reginald Titus Jr.: But this one is I think this one is probably closer to being more authentic, though, because you have the person whose story it's about being involved in the process, telling you what happened. Um, even things that you think are true, but because he lived it, he can tell you are, you know, are not true. And like his wife, was it his wife that they say, no, his, uh, his mistress, um, saying that she was like a heroin addict or something like that. He's like, no, it's not true. But it was reported as it as it in the in the media that she was. But he was saying, no, it's not true. Just tell the truth, baby. Then we'll be cool. So, so this is just showing how powerful this medium is of, you know, when we're making movies. So, yeah, a movie like this is I think it's a little bit closer it is closest to reality. But then you have movies that are based on a true story where they have a lot more liberties.
Casey G. Smith: That's true, yeah, based there's there's no minimum of what based means. Um, but speaking of like true footage, one of the things that, uh, Hackford talked about doing and did was to use stock footage to show the different time periods. You know, one of the things that they liked about shooting in Louisiana was that they had kept a lot of the histori a lot of history, a lot of historic buildings around so they can emulate things that would have been around in the 50s or 60s. And then they would just use live footage from, you know, New York and other cities Ray would have traveled to and then all sudden now they just cut to, you know, an interior or or a set and the right kind of clothing or costume design and you're ready to go. And it's it's it's simple, but it's it's a I think very, very effective. Yeah. You can tell even though they had 40 million bucks, um, they were still he still seemed like he was approaching like independent filmmaker. Like, how can we? We can't shoot all this stuff. So, um, there's something called second unit. Second unit is when not you as a director, but you have other directors that go shoot the pickup shots or, you know, the cars driving up the street or the forest or whatever. The stuff that's not the meat of the movie, but you need to kind of insert. That's called second unit. And when he there was a movie called Devil in the Blue Dress, uh, I think that was star was it Denzel Washington in that? Yes, sir. So they used the stock footage from that film and inserted it into this film. Right, he did mention that. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I was like, man, that's pretty cool. Like, you have the liberties to go through some of this other footage and other movies when you probably have a studio, some kind of studio system and putting that in there. That's awesome. So he mentioned this is a musical. Do you believe this is a musical? Cuz I cuz when when I think of this film, even though it's based on a musician, musical doesn't pop into my head. No, not not in the traditional sense. It's uh, not in the traditional sense. But, um, define musical. So, again, typically when I'm defining a musical, a musical is a a production where the performers will not randomly, but spontaneously break into song during dialogue. Mm-hm. Not to sing a song that is being recorded or used for a show or because they're rehearsing something for a show. They are literally conveying emotions, conveying feelings in song and dance. And other people will join in randomly with the song and the dance and then it will come to an end and it will it will it will it will cap off a scene or dialogue will continue. And it's and it's but it's a normalized thing. People breaking into song, song and dance spontaneously and it's normal and then they go right back into dialogue. Like the song, like the song didn't happen. They just start talking. Yeah, it's like no big deal. Honestly, there's a scene from Anchorman, you know, where they sing, uh, Afternoon Delight. Like, that's that's that's a little musical piece where they literally are, you know, let me tell you what it's like, you know. And then bam, they go and start singing Afternoon Delight and that that that's Afternoon Delight and then bam, they just go right back to what they're doing. I'm like, that was a musical number like within this movie. Um, with Ray, no, I would not call that a musical. Um, they have times where they're singing and it transitions into some other scenes, but they're not it's it's not Dreamgirls. Dreamgirls is a musical. Mm-hm. They are they are singing to each other. I don't know the definition like, I just, he he said it was a musical. So, I'm just like, no. Dreamgirls is a musical. When they when they Grease is a musical. Right. When you you when you sing your lines. But do you have to go by those rules? Like, do you have to go by that rules? Absolutely. Absolutely. There are there are there are there are movies that are based off music and have musical performances and musical numbers, but those are always done for a crowd, for a recording. Um, or if it's a movie that's about a movie that's getting set for a play where they're performing on stage, it's in a context, you know. Uh, where versus you know, the singing is is a part of our our everyday life. We we are communicating again spontaneously in song. The music that's playing to this is not coming from a a a you can't see the band members playing it. It's just there. It it invades. Mm-hm. Yeah. And then it's gone and it's done. And we're just back to yeah, to me that that is a musical. So, Taylor, you lied to us, it's not a musical. It's a movie with musical pieces in it. Yeah. That's a that's a musical. So, Taylor, you lied to us, it's not a musical. It's a movie with musical pieces in it. Pre-recorded. I don't know. And I guess I guess cuz when he says that, he's talking about the part right right as Ray's coming up with Hit the Road Jack. Mm-hm. And as he's talking about, he he he gets, uh, Regina King's character, you know, he's already made her angry because Well, cuz he's he's asking her to say maybe get I think get an abortion. Yeah. From her baby. And so he's got her riled up and now he's got her singing the song, you know, Hit the Road Jack. You know, and she's bringing all this energy and anger. But again, that's the context of he's playing the music on his keyboard. They're rehearsing the song. Mm-hm. And then they're cutting to them singing it, you know, in concert. That's that's totally not a musical. That's I don't know. Wow. That's I don't know the definition like, I just, he he said it was a musical. So, I'm just like, No, Dreamgirls is a musical. When they when they grease is a musical. Right. When you you when you sing your lines. But do you have to go by those rules? Like, yes. You have to go by that rules. Absolutely. Absolutely. There are there are there are there are movies that are based off music and have musical performances and musical numbers. But those are always done for a crowd, for a recording. Um, or if it's a movie that's about a movie that's getting set for a play where they're performing on stage, it's in a context, you know.

And I guess I guess cuz when he says that, he's talking about the part right right as Ray's coming up with Hit the Road Jack. Mm-hm. And as he's talking about, he he he gets, uh, Regina King's character, you know, he's already made her angry because Well, cuz he's he's asking her to say maybe get I think get an abortion. Yeah. From her baby. And so he's got her riled up and now he's got her singing the song, you know, Hit the Road Jack. You know, and she's bringing all this energy and anger.

From her baby. And so he's got her riled up and now he's got her singing the song, you know, Hit the Road Jack. You know, and she's bringing all this energy and anger. But again, that's the context of he's playing the music on his keyboard. They're rehearsing the song. Mm-hm. And then they're cutting to them singing it, you know, in concert. That's that's totally not a musical. That's I don't know. Wow. That's I don't know the definition like, I just, he he said it was a musical. So, I'm just like, No, Dreamgirls is a musical. When they when they grease is a musical. Right. When you you when you sing your lines. But do you have to go by those rules? Like, yes. You have to go by that rules. Absolutely. Absolutely.

Um, or if it's a movie that's about a movie that's getting set for a play where they're performing on stage, it's in a context, you know. Uh, where versus you know, the singing is is a part of our our everyday life. We we are communicating again spontaneously in song. The music that's playing to this is not coming from a a a you can't see the band members playing it. It's just there. It it invades. Mm-hm. Yeah. And then it's gone and it's done. And we're just back to yeah, to me that that is a musical. So, Taylor, you lied to us, it's not a musical. It's a movie with musical pieces in it. Pre-recorded. I don't know. And I guess I guess cuz when he says that, he's talking about the part right right as Ray's coming up with Hit the Road Jack. Mm-hm. And as he's talking about, he he he gets, uh, Regina King's character, you're gonna he's already made her angry because Well, cuz he's he's asking her to say maybe get I think get an abortion. Yeah. From her baby
