Ray Charles & Mom

I thought it was interesting how the movie kept referencing back to Ray Charles' mother. It's very interesting to see how his mother has shaped him; teaching him to survive and overcome his disability. When his mother quit her job, she emphasised on how important education was. Ray, although blind, learned to read braille, which is not only commendable during the time period, it also makes you wonder where he learned to read braille from? Another thing that I would like to mention what the parallel between the mother and his behavior. When Ray quit his first job, you cannot ignore how the director referenced back to the mother.
