Bob Marley One Love | Gone Wrong 

Jamaican here, i agree with you 100%. This would have been better if they made a Netflix series breaking down his life from his earlier days in St Ann, to when he moved to Kingston and started his music career and forming the Wailers.

Peter Tosh and Bunny Wailer left out. There wouldn't have been the Bob Marley Bob manifested into without Peter and Bunny. The part with Peter Tosh was cut and that has upset many globally. A Peter Tosh movie would be sensational❤💛💚🖤

sounds like a Netflix series would be better for the amount content bob life had going on

As a Jamaican who grew up in Jamaica (Disappointed)

As a jamaican your critique was spot on. There is a big controversy in Jamaica with this story line. Most Jamaicans were let down. Alot of things were left out.

I saw the movie yesterday. My interpretation is this. The movie is called Bob Marley “One Love” not Bob Marley: “His Life”. I feel like this was a movie based on the accounts of Ziggy, Stephen, Cedella and Sharon as it pertains to their mother’s life with Bob. Mentioning the other women may have been too hard for them and disrespectful to their mother Rita. That’s why it’s called “One Love”. They’re showing the love their parents had for each other. If anyone wants to know more about Bob Marley they should just check out the movie Marley or the many documentaries out about him. But I feel like this was for how they saw their mother Rita with their father.

Too many cooks were in the Kitchen. The quality of this movie seems unfinished and shallow, and It falls way short of an enduring presentation, and does little to contribute to Bob's legacy. In other words it was amateurish. Just saying! Wheel and come again.

Bob Marley should have been one of the biggest movies ever

Dam of you do, dam if you don’t! 🙄 I am puertorican and I am a long fan of Bob Marley. ♥️ The movie isn’t the life story of Bob Marley & Rita only. It’s meant to shine the love and passion Mr. Marley had for everyone. He wanted for everyone to love and care for each other. If you know the “ true story “ as we know it, the biopic depicts exactly that. The years represented ( 2 years) in the movie are his most crucial years of when “ real hate “ for him started to unveil. He wants love & peace, cero hate & WARS!!! Unfortunately, no one listen to him, since that’s exactly how we live today! The actors and film were amazing! 🇯🇲 ✌🏽🙏🏽

The movie was good. As a rastaman that never wanted a bob marley movie. The biggest mistake that many biopicks make is trying to cover too much time. I liked that it focused on these two pivital years. It focused on bob and making the music not family drama.

Complete waste of my money and time, im Jamaican and they didnt even show the beautiful parts of island..it was all guns and violoncel

I seen it and I disgree with most of what you said. I lived with is music knew most the characters because I was involved in the music industry of Jamaica for 2 decades plus some years. I will say this I left that movie theatre in Brazil in tears since about the last 15 minutes of the film. I knew the characters, I knew the story. We knew the story since we were kids. I knew the characters and knew what to expect. We didn't come to watch it to be taught who he is, Rasta, Revolution etc.. We've seen all that already. We didn't come for a documentary we've seen thousands hince why we know the story so well. We came because of ZIGGY and RITA we came to see their side and I was not disappointed. Rita fingers is all on this this is HER story. If you want to be taught youtube Bob Marley, that is not this film. This Film is Rita Marley telling her Story about the man she loved. I could not see it until it got praises from Jamaica and it did so your opinion is your own its OUR culture and we are proud

Movie had absolutely no direction. Flat all around. I knew it was gonna be some BS when the first thing you saw was Ziggy introducing the film

Spike Lee was who they needed to direct that film. You see what Spike Lee did with MALCOM X Spike Lee is a more a detail director when it comes to getting all the info (history) in a short amount of time. Even in MO BETTER BLUES shows his talent and creative awareness. This has to do with his experience and talent as a top director. But with Spike Lee he would want to do that film with all the info which I think the Marley family wouldn't want in the movie. That is why they stay away from a big top director cause they wanted to control the narrative, stay away from certain subjects, like his womanizing, etc..so you get a smaller not so great a director who needs that kind of opportunity and you can control his directing on what to show and not show.

I loved it and it almost made me cry and I am going to see it again and again I really loved it

It's usually a red flag when you have multiple production companies at the beginning of the movie. That means they didn't have enough money and they had to bring more production companies. The actors were great but they didn't have a good script. Bob Marley needed an Oliver Stone level director.

It was a money grab!!

This biopic was not about the truth of Marley's life. It was a 2.5+ hour advertisement to re-brand all things Marley and elevate Rita Marley to an icon status. Bob and Rita's relationship was "close, but complicated". It was not the love affair her children with him wants us to walk away with.

Bob Marley’s life can’t be summed up in 100 minutes.

you're right, it's a flop. the family sold out

BOB Marley deserved a FILM, not a MOVIE. I worked with Reinaldo Marcus Green on a miniseries and found him to have very little vision and passion for his craft. He is a producers best friend. Even the way he got into directing was kind of by mistake... and it is noticeable. Very strange choice of director if you ask me..

I’m not Jamaican but I am a huge fan of reggae and of Bob especially and I was very let down with the movie.

YOU ARE SO RIGHT 👏👏👏👏 AS A JAMAICAN 🇯🇲 THEY LEAVE OUT A LOT OF THINGS ❤

Dude you nailed it! It’s easy to just throw in a slow motion moment on screen where bob does something we know he did and then play music behind but there was ZERO emotion behind it! The actors were great but the writing couldn’t help them. Everything was so superficial and it was just a caricature of Marley. So bland! I hate how cookie cutter this was!

I’m insulted. I left the theater early in disappointment.

I think Ziggy and Rita left out a lot of important things in his life. It felt like they didn’t want to cover his relationship drama in his life because of who Bob is. If they added a little more on Bobs love life, especially with Cindy Breakspeare it would have made the movie more dramatic and interesting. Don’t get me wrong, it’s a good movie, it just felt incomplete.

As a person of Jamaican decent and growing up in a fully Jamaican household also having my Uncle that did par with Bob Marley and him being a rasta as well l already knew a lot was going to be left out of this movie for more obvious reasons. I haven't seen it yet until this weekend and no matter what anyone says about the movie I'm still going to see it and l can tell you I haven't been to the movies in over 14 years but I will support this family, cast and the story they will bring.

Exactly man. I was disappointed in this representation. When it was over I thought to myself that Ziggy may have been way too high when he ok’d this. In Jamaican and Bob influenced me a whole lot plus I always felt special to share his birth date. One Love

Saw The movie ! It should have started with Bob growing up! It goes back an forth! But I'm glad they made it tho!

The fake Jamaican accent is a turn off for me.

This is only part 1 of Bobs life. More to come. I think Kingsley did a great job myself…Oscar nomination performance

As a fan of bob marley I️ felt like the movie was actually disrespectful to the legend himself . The movie felt like it was half way written, not detailed and unfinished and rushed . It felt like they set up this to not really show the biography of Bob Marley . I️ wished they showed more scenes like how did the The Wailers get the title of their name , the behind the scenes of his top songs like three little birds or One love , him becoming a father , did he go to school ?,What happened to the guy who was stealing money ? Showed him finding out he had cancer? showing more clips of his childhood . I️ was even sad they didn’t even play my favorite songs like Could you be loved and played One love and is this love in the credit scene . The movie was mainly about the album Exodus . The positives of this movie I️ would say is the costumes are beautiful , the cinematography is beautiful , the actors were great . Other than that I️ also wish there was sub titles as of some scenes I️ drifted off bc I️ didnt understand what they were saying .you can tell this was filmed during the writers strike

Without Rastafari they wouldn't be Bob the Legend and they left that out. Rastafari was his Life

Ziggy Marley stated that the movie was centered around Bob's life during just the two years of 1976-1978, so for people who went in expecting to see more of his life events, you would not. As a Jamaican (born and raised), I was not disappointed with the movie and was able to identify scenes from the movie where they touched on his introduction to Rastafarianism, his relationship with Rita, his involvement with Cindy, his compassion for helping others, and the influence he had worldwide through his music. While obviously not an expert or even knowledgeable on how the movie business works in my opinion there is only so much that can be done for a movie and I believe the director and writers captured the essence of the message well.

Had they shown Bob Marley constantly smoking weed and sleeping with every Women in the movie along with some graphic violence and nudity then, some people would call it a hit . Why shoot down his family for their views on a life we know nothing about. We never support. We are addicted to the drama.

OMG, I’m so grateful my dad sent me your video. I went to see the Bob Marley movie, it was okay. After God, Bob Marley is my dad‘s greatest hero. growing up, my dad made sure I listened to Bob Marley, understood his lyrics, and became obsessed with him. However, they should’ve incorporated the following: his relationship with his father his relationship with his mother His love for music his concubines and their children The cheating on his wife Fight for love and unity Lastly, one of the biggest downfall is that the movie was one-sided to favor Rita and her kids. I understand she was the wife, but come on they should’ve had all his children come together to make a fantastic contribution to their father

It wasn’t made or billed as a full biopic . It was made specifically for the period leading up to his shooting and its aftermath , because that was a tumultuous time in Jamaica’s history . The Smile Jamaica Concert , Marley going into exile then lured back to Jamaica for the Peace Concert , Cold War politics being played in the streets of Jamaica . An undeclared civil war . Everything else is filler . The flashbacks etc . It’s a similar concept like One Night in Miami

As a Jamaican well said, didn’t even tell how the political leaders tried to kill him they are trying to commercialize him and also downplay the movement in being a revolutionist

Bro am listening go ahead…am a real born Jamaican now living in the US 🤦🏾‍♂️…u know what I could tell that they wasn’t gonna put his life story together properly because in life when these iconic figures living or dead these a$$ holes just never portray them as they should..& believe me I hate that Ziggy & the crew did that I all so think that they could find some real actors from Jamaica all so to make this movie look I just know that they was gonna water down this man life & legacy..bottom line all because of some damn money ..give thanks for the info brother 🤛🏾

Amateur hour. Bob must be turning in his grave at this travesty. Just seemed so canned and lacking.

No Rastafari no bunny no Peter Europeans have white washed bob Marley

They even left out Peter tosh wow how?

I wanted to see more about Cindy!!! Say what you want but that woman was EXTREMELY special to him!! Also they left out an extreme amount on bob life my God he has 13 beautiful children! TELL HIS LIFE CORRECTLY or leave it alone. It’s disrespectful to halfway tell a story!! Rita’s heart oh no poor her all the crying but she accepted his lifestyle so tell the story correctly. She’s a soldier right?

that guy who played Bob is not Rasta himself and many more things Africa should be the focus Why they never spoke the truth about the way they get rid of Bob and Peter

I watched the movie yesterday and I loved it. It was a very emotional film. In one sense you are right when you said that more substance was needed but how much can you out in a time limited movie? You can only capture the essence of his life that stood out. Yes I loved the movie and felt proud to be a Jamaican. I left the theater with others only after the last credits were displayed. People were applauding. Never did that before.

I honestly kept saying the movie was lacking depth!!! Bob Marley was such a legendary being so how could they possibly tell his life story so vaguely!! We need remake….period!! I was so disappointed. 😢

Sir you are right. This is bullcrap just watch it, Insulting to real Jamaican

Don't even want to see it and I'm Jamaican.

I just got back from the theater. I agree with you

So glad its the #1 movie in America!

I totally agree with you they dropped the ball. I wanted so much to love this movie. I was excited, I went in open minded but I was not moved like I wanted. The actors who played Bob and Rita they are very talented. The moments that made me happy was when they played his music but other than that nothing. It was flat.

Yes, this movie felt rushed and didn’t do him justice. The musical however is amazing!!!!! Magical And touchs every part of his life. However, I appreciate Bob Marley having a movie it has been a long time coming, Legend forever. ❤

You are right I am Jamaican and that film gave no justice to our legend 👍🏾

I agree with you bro, that movie have been whitewashes.

Unortunately, I was not expecting much from this film. Bob was such an inportant figure for those of us who came of age in the 70s and 80s. He was like a god in places like West Africa where I first was really introduced to regggae music. I mean talk about a legend! Infact, his album which holds the same name still charts on Billboard until this day. I will not be seeing the film. I will not allow Hollywood ruin my memories or the huge impact that this man and his music had on my life.

Ummmmm...it was based on TWO YEARS of Bob n Rita's life NOT his entire life...if you can verbalize this, why are you whining about it not being enough😳. Bob Marley did more in his short life than 10 ppl put together, so to truly cover his entire life it would have to be a mini series depiction like The Crown. C'moooooon Maaaan can we not just enjoy a likkle bit of him n Rita thru the eyes of their children. Sekkle down, nuh😃

Man know weh him ah chat bout still

Totally agree with comments regarding the script and screenplay. There didn’t seem to be any evaluation of the depth of relationship with Jamaica (or even Black people) amongst the writers chosen for this task. I would wager that some of them (four, including the director) knew little about Marley until their agent told them they had secured the contract for this movie. It actually seems criminal that with four scriptwriters on board, no-one thought it relevant to mention that none of them were Jamaican? All of this taps into your observations on the paucity of detail surrounding the support cast; none of whom have extended spoken contributions. This may indicate that the writers knew so little about Jamaicans and Jamaica that they dared not go beyond simply filling in the storyboards involving exchanges between Bob and Rita. This perceived Jamaicaphobia at the heart of the venture may be the reason why the saga drags after approximately 50 minutes screen time. The writers lacked the requisite regard for Marley and his culture to hold up their hands and say: “hey, I don’t know enough about the Jamaican identity to do this story justice. Other than the consultants, we need a seasoned Jamaican scriptwriter in the room with us to do this tale justice.” We can only assume that the scriptwriters assumed they knew enough (about the Jamaican psyche) to get the fable over the line. They failed. Kingsley and Lashanna save their asses. If they were similarly ill-prepared as the scriptwriters, people would abandon this movie after the opening weekend. Also, the cinematography sucks almost as badly as the script. A pity that Kingsley and Lashanna were required to bring their A game to prop up such an underwhelming squad

I agree with you a 💯 and actually share the same sentiment it was like a empty vessel, there are so much things about Bob they could make a great movie

You are so right!! As a true Bob Marley fan, I was disappointed. The music was great but the content was very much lacking. The actors were fine but this was a bit of a letdown 😢! Would’ve been great as a concert movie.

Thanks from the bottom of my heart. This should have been given to the greatest filmmakers and storytellers in the world is correct. I’m so hurt by this film it’s unbelievable how in the history of motion pictures how you can make a shooting scene so dull. I’ve never seen such a dull action scene in any film besides one love. The fact that his own son co-signed this speaks volumes. Thanks for your honesty.

My words exactly. The movie is way out of Bob Marley's league. I'm sorry but to portrait a creative genius you need a team of creative geniuses. And unfortunately it was not the case, except for the music.

It would have helped for authenticity if they had a Jamaican actor to play Bob Marley

No biopics are ever 100% accurate. There are documentaries to watch that can answer many questions. I took my 17 yr. old son to see the movie and the most important thing about this movie is the timeless music that is being carried on to new generations. Unless you were really there no one knows the whole story.

I seen it yesterday and your absolutely right. It's like a beautiful pie with no filling

Huge Bob Marley fan here; finally saw it & I still can’t believe what a let down that was. That was a joke. I wouldn’t know where to begin to critique this film but it hurt me to my core & I’m still hurt behind this one. My baby boy (1year old) loves to watch the live performances & now every time I watch (everyday/multiple times) I’m reminded of how BAD the film was. I almost had a moment with the “Natural Mystic” scene but they ruined that by cutting it short. I’m just still in total disbelief at the lack of information & how rushed the film seemed and how it only covered 1 moment of time in his life. I would’ve been pissed if I’d paid money to see that. I agree with you 100% bro. I simply had to go watch a couple reviews just to make sure that I wasn’t being too harsh but I honestly can’t pick out one part of the movie that stands out as a favorite part or moment that sent chills through my body. I simply expected so much more & It’ll take me a very long time to forgive who gave this film the green light. I couldn’t believe my eyes. You let me & my son down big time!

I am Jamaican,I will never watch this rubbish,, firstly it’s a travesty using English actors to play the main roles.. the little dialect I heard in the trailer was terrible.. obviously Ziggy and Rita in my opnion sold out. I think paramount bought the leverage and chose who they wanted to play the main characters.. this is terrible, I knew the movie would be terrible thanks for confirming

I’m glad that didn’t spell out his whole life story, go watch a documentary if that’s what you want. Everyone knows that Bob give Rita bun and Rita give Bob bun she raised his outside children like her own and he adopted hers. I’m glad they didn’t reduce Bob Marley to baby mama drama. After a while Bob and Rita didn’t have a romantic relationship (which has been said multiple times in multiple documentaries) and it became more a companionship which I think the movie represents well. This movie was about the events that led up to and immediately after the Exodus album. The flashbacks that it again was just to put things into perspective. Many are upset that they didn’t use Jamaican actors but if you check it alot of the roles were played by the children of his band members who were there between 77-79. And I think the two leads knocked it out of the park with their Patois and accent, the dialect coach on set really applauded them on how hard they worked at getting it right. I think every scene in this movie was very deliberate and purposeful. The ending was a bit abrupt I will admit and there was one storyline that I thought was a missed opportunity but aside from that I loved the film.

I worked on a Biography film called "Rebel music" and we were nominated for a Grammy for it. I spent a very long time learning about Bob and his life. From my opinion it was a very compressed story with Bunny, Peter Tosh and many other people and moments left out. I agree, a longer series with more detail and more truths told and not left out BUT, many of the important sentiments were there, but briefly covered. I think anything that elevate the ONE LOVE concept Bob was trying to share with the world is important. Remember Rita and Ziggy were running the show. I remember when the Marley family was thinking about opening a burger chain using Bob's name, so this far better than that!

I have not yet seen the movie and up to the point that I stopped watching what else you have to say, you said nothing to deter me from going to see it this evening.

I and my wife joked that since it was Ziggy Marley (Rita's Son) who produced the movie and was on set daily, they deliberately ignored other women in Bob's life. I mean, Damien Marley is one of his most popular children but nothing about him was mentioned. Must have been a family thing.

Fake... No real Jamaicans? This move is a insult to BM and the people of Jamaica. You are not wrong.

I think Ziggy has a massive ego that makes him believe that he is right and needs no other creative input. Also, there seems to be a vendetta against Cindy B which is probably because she was the only woman of the many he was with that he chased for years and seemed to have loved the most. So much negativity has been unleashed and the family is going to come under microscopic speculation.

Your review is TRASH 🗑..... it's a biopic about 4 to 5 years of Bob's life!!!

Although I pretty much agree with everything you said, I still enjoyed the picture on a surface level. But yeah, Bob definitely deserved better and more than this

Sick and tired of all these armchair critics as if they can do better. It’s a damn good movie. Period!

You are wrong. Rita and bob marley relationship was rocky I dont think his family and rita wanted to point that out. This movie was about making about his album. His life was cmpacted in 1hr and 40 minutes. please do not pretend you know about our culture and who Bob is and was. We all have opinions. Do not speak for us Jamaicans

You expected too much. No writer, actor, or production team - no matter how ‘top-shelf’ they are, can give everyone what they want to see from the sheer volume of the man’s 36 years in this earth. The movie concentrated on art and creativity - how life experiences engender the fire to drive creativity. Perhaps terming it a Bio-pic was a mistake. People should go to enjoy a movie about a creative genius and key events that led to the creation of his music. Could it have men better? Sure, but it is nowhere as bad as you are making it out to be. Let people see it and judge for themselves. You don’t like. We get that.

I completely disagree with your take. I think it was a great movie. It went in a different direction than the traditional biopics by focusing on a particular period in bob's life rather than retelling a story that couldn't be done in 2 hrs. It uses flashbacks to fill in the audience like "man of steel" did. The movie was more focused on the message of bob than Bob himself which I believe was the essence of who Bob was. It was more about the message than the messenger. And lasana lynch killed it as Rita Marley. As a Jamaican I couldn't tell she wasn't Jamaica, her mannerisms, choice of words and accent. The movie was great.

Jah & Jahes love brother. Thanks for giving us your honest and thoughtful opinion of the "One Love" movie. I'm not surprised that the film lacked depth because the documentary was the same. I'm a proud RastafarI and I'm dissappointed in the fact that His Imperial Majesty and the livity (lifestyle) were not well represented. I don't have money to go watch it in the theatres so I will wait for it to watch it online for a small fee. I will keep watching your reviews. Blessed love.#1804#Ayiti#ToutMounseMoun#AbolishCPS#AbolishPoverty#DefundFosterCare#ProChoice#RawVeganforLife#HRES40NOW#220YearsFREE

the movie won't resonate with alot of western audiences because honestly it was made for jamaicans. I watched it today in Kingston jamaica and the audiences in the cinema were laughing, crying and gave it a standing ovation. We understood the movie wasn't about telling his whole life story. We knew it was to highlight the civil war in the 70s and and how it impacted bob. the movie was telling a story about a specific period in his life that led up to making the exodus album. You have no idea how impactful it was to see the Nyabinghi drums and the Iyaric language that the rasta's speak in full display. when they cut to the scene of young rita and bob and rita said they called her blackie tutus, I nearly cried cause I can relate. And most importantly this was the best interpretation of our accent. the mannerisms were so down to the bone. I got goospe bumps. I know it may seem like it's all about making him look overly good but in truth this is the typical behaviour of the jamaican rasta, they walk with a message of love and peace and that's the image we know of bob. Yes we know he had multiple baby mama's and was never faithful. but do we know who bob really was? In this movie we could see that bob was scared, he didn't want to come back to our island because of what happened to him. We saw that he was conflicted about being half white and not being accepted by his white family. its so much I can say but honestly if you're not jamaican grown and immersed in the culture it may not be for you. I was sitting there while watching and the first thing that came to my mind was that I don't think the global audience would understand the message. And based on the reviews I'm seeing I was right. But I am happy they chose to please the jamaican audience by telling this story the way we want it to be told. It's not supposed to be a history lesson. one thing to note is that Bob didn't cry. All is friends and family will tell you this. So to see them display his emotions while still trying to maintain his toughness was amazing.

I won't lie, I wasn't too mad at the movie, 2hrs isn't enough, I get that, but the movie being released on Valentines and titled one love only to make Rita look angry almost all the time. The couple never kisses, it's not about Rita, but I feel they portrayed her as a typical angry black woman, They could have done better Also as a South African, and we have many movies about Nelson Mandela, and they find non South African actors always butchering term Amanda, I understand how the Jamaicans feel

I am a Jamaican and I DISAGREE with you. The movie was spectacular.

Y’all complaining about the movie when it only depicts a period of time from 1976 -1981 I think. It’s not about his entire life. Ziggy And Rita Marley and other Marley families are behind this project. They know their father better than you and any of us. They were 💯 percent hands on. How can any one of y’all criticize this movie when it’s own family especially his wife who been with him basically wrote the movie. Stop. Y’all can criticize anything else but this one. I’m not gonna second guess his family’s work.

The movie was wonderful. To each is own. myself and some doctor friends thoroughly enjoyed it. Happy to see my hometown Trench Town and plan to go see it again

I believe this movie was a big money grab..the movie is called "One love" whixh was marketing genius to come out on Valentines Day knowing that this movie will sell out for a good while..it wasnt that good to me, pretty Mid...the Notorious movie about Biggie was better in my opinion and Bob was one of my fav artists especially with a west indian background and bring from Brooklyn, you automatically have a connection growing up with him his story from the beginning

We didn’t like it

Bwoy, its just a shame. Joke ting, i don't know what Ziggy was thinking. We have to resurrect Bob's ideology of "Blackman redemption" and Rastafari.

Read good sir. NOBODY EXCEPT CINDY WANTED TO SEE CINDY IN THE FILM AS THE SIDE CHICK. Jamaicans do not like her. We rather not seeing her in the movie becahse she does too much as a side gal. Rita dont want to relive that era of so much embarrassment. As for watching it I will pay my money as a Jamaican to support my people trying. Sorry I will watch other movies at home like Beekeeper and Dune

Everything is fake and soo false..

Great analysis. 💯🇯🇲 Thank you

3 days later...the movie is a box office hit surpassing all expectations, its not the second coming of "Schindler's List", but its not just another failed singer biopic. This review didnt age well lol

I’m a die hard fan for 30 years plus of Bob - and I agree with you 200%! I left the theater in tears. It was like a collection of trailers for me - did not capture his essence. I immediately went home and watched Time will tell and other documentaries to soothe my soul 😢 new fans or people who are not familiar with him like it because they can’t compare to anything else. So many things left out and didn’t build his essence ugh still frustrated and disappointed about this… I’m very comforted in a weird way to hear your rant and know I’m not alone - I felt so sad to know that many people will have no idea how amazing he was. I’m telling anyone who asks me and doesn’t know him to please, watch some Documentaries after the movie to get a better idea. When it ended I was like no way- you’re ending it like this??? Very confused how they could be satisfied with it

I agree with everything you said about this movie. I feel like they were trying to protect his image instead of allowing us to see him for who he really was. And he was a human that left a major positive impact on the world through his life and music.

I went to see the movie with my partner. When the movie was over, I was sitting kind of stuck. I said to my partner, I would like to have seen more about his journey through cancer. How did he maintain all of what he did while going through this struggle? Her reply was that since his kids did it maybe they wanted to save some dignity. Now, she is in the filmmaking world, so I left it alone. Then I stumbled onto your video, and what you said about the experience of a seasoned filmmaker and a great in-depth script, is when I said ah hah, these are the words I needed. Especially when I am a person who does study musicians, is a musician, and I have been a follower of Bob Marley for 30 years. The movie fell flat for me because I do know a lot about Bob Marley. It's interesting, that in every interview leading up to this film, that involved the leading actors, they both said, until I started doing this film, I knew nothing about Bob Marley. That tells you something within itself. I think that because the family is involved people will give it a pass, but I have seen a couple of great documentaries that can take one deeper than this film. Thank you for your channel and I'm a subscriber.

Saw it last night great movie - I was a little dismayed on all the reviews but I cant disagree with them all - Bob Marley was a leader of the people and made a huge impact both politicly and spiritually -so just how do you capture that in 2 hours ? (or about) it seems that two movies could have been made. One about his life and one about the impact on unity and peace he had as in the movement. Just my take I did enjoy the movie it was worth the price of admission.

I guess they even forgot to put when The Jacksons went in Jamaica and had some times with Bob Marley and his people...a real important part.

The movie failed at encapsulating the essence of his life. I mean it was a great movie but this iconic man's story was not really told. Great actors but storyline extremely limited and also misguiding. Bob was not a saint at ALL! Then again neither of us are. The truth can be brutal at times.

I was chomping at the bit to see the first showing of this, even though the trailers left a sour taste in my mouth...........thx 1❤️

Your analysis was more or less exact to what I told my friend who did not come. Did not depict the greatness of the Legend of Bob Marley. Disappointed.😢
