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.
Thank you. Thanks for watching/commenting!
My whole growing older goal in life is to end living and ending in Jamaica.
And I felt this may have let down a large amount of people.
Jah ❤!
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.
Cindy can stay. We nu want har in de😂😂😂.
I agree. I feel Rita and Ziggy left out his love life because of their personal feelings about Bobs many women, in which is very understandable. Don’t get me wrong it was a good movie, it just felt incomplete.
Thanks for watching/commenting.
Nowadays you just can’t please ppl they find all kind a moogamhole to say about the movie…
I was not let down and I am Jamaican
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❤💛💚🖤
EXACTLY!!! 100%. Thanks for mentioning that! And thanks for watching/commenting.
They were not left it … if you paid attention or understand the history the movie was showing and time period…. Bunny and Peter left the group in mid ‘70s and movie was the late ‘70s…
@@THATGUYTALKSMOVIESdo you know the history of the music?
@camiesims7589 You do know that Peter and Bob co wrote many of Bob's hits. Also, Peter, Bob, and Bunny were going to record again, but Bob passed before that could manifest. The song is called Back Together Again, and there is a bootleg copy of it on the Internet with Peter and Bunny singing the song. You must also know as you asked if I know the musical history that the I Threes
Sang backing on one or more of Peter's songs. So I give you a little bit of music history. Please tell me what you claim to know before erasing part of your comment.
Bollocks. He could be what he was after these ego trippers left him .
sounds like a Netflix series would be better for the amount content bob life had going on
Correct
Jamaican women ago loathe him. So no! Let it stay as is
Pretty much. Good point. Thanks for watching/commenting.
Looks like they shot it with a Netflix camera
@@Hoolagans Yeah, I didn't mention it in the review but, I wasn't too impressed with the cinematography and overall look. They didn't truly work to capture the 70's feel from a color perspective and all. I thought he production design was pretty average as well. Thanks for watching/commenting.
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.
YOU NEED TO GET OUT OF YOUR FEELINGS.
YOUR FEELINGS ARE WRONG WHEN IT COMES TO MY MASTER.
ONLY BECAUSE THE MEDIA AND THOSE NARLEYS ARE HIDING THE TRUTH.
BOB MARRIED RITA FOR TRAVEL PAPERS FEBRUARY 10 1966.
THE NEXT DAY MY MASTER BOB FLEW TO DELAWARE TO VISIT HIS MOTHER CEDELLA.
AND BOB GAVE MANY INTERVIEWS WHERE HE SAID HE DENOUNCED WESTERN MARRIAGE.
AND BOB DIVORCED RITA AND LEFT HER FOR CINDY😂😂😂.
RITA WAS A NIGHTMARE TO BOB.
AND THERE IS SO MUCH MORE.
LIKE RITA WRITING IN HER BOOK "NO WOMAN NO CRY" THAT BOB ABANDONED HER AND THE KIDS FOR MONTHS AND NEVER SENT THEM A DIME.
THAT'S AFTER THEY SHOT AFTER HIM.
BOB FOUND OUT SOME THINGS ABOUT RITA THAT WOULD MAKE YOU CRINGE.
RITA IS CIA FROM CUBA AND STEPHEN LOOKS JUST LIKE HIS DAD MORTIMMO PLANNO AND CEDELLA BOTCHED HER FACE AND UNDERWENT FACIAL RECONSTRUCTIVE SURGERY AND BLEACHED HER SKIN AND SO DID ZIGGY, KYMANI, STEPHEN, SELAH, ROHAN, JO MERSA, JULIAN AND SKIP AND ROBBIE AND YG AND MANY MORE.
THEY ARE NOT MARLEYS😂😂.
THEY ARE NARLEYS
DAMIAN IS BOB' SON.
THE REST ARE COUNTERFEITS AND HE TELLS YOU AS MUCH IN HIS SONG "HERE WE GO".
HE IS THE ORIGINAL GONG.
LOT OF LIES THEY TOLD ON MY BOB STARTING WITH THE BOOK "CATCH A FIRE" THAT WAS WRITTEN BY CIA AGENT TIMOTHY WHITE.
THAT BOOK BECAME THE BIBLE OF BOB MARLEY.
😂😂
MOSTLY LIES
czcams.com/video/-kUCbwZtt90/video.htmlsi=1puJVJ9FaI-z7tcD
NOT A GOOD IDEA TO TRUST ANYTHING FROM THE MEDIA😂😂
Well said that is my take!
That should have been a vanity project for them then , but the world was waiting on a proper movie that is an honest portrayal .
@@dope03pope I understand. I thought this would be a movie from start to finish about the late great Bob Marley. But once I saw the movie, I said “oh, I get it”. This is why it was released on Valentines Day also. I think it was a sweet explanation, put on the big screen, to show the power of their parents love and all that their mother went through. Because she is so often overshadowed by his greatness and the affairs. Rita, actually was the glue that kept Bob together and contributed to his success. If it wasn’t for Rita pushing Bob to us in America, after he died, we wouldn’t have known him. Only a few people knew who he was or was even interested in what he stood for and his music.
Bob Marley should have been one of the biggest movies ever
Exactly! Thanks for watching/commenting.
Exactly!!
This wasn’t a movie, it’s just a 90 minute commercial for the Disneyfication of Bob Marley. The man was a real revolutionary, his sons are nothing but domesticated cats twerking for the oppressors. What would Ziggy know about one love when he’s help raise 60 million for a military committing genocide and posing in photos with a military that’s killing babies.
@antoniusdesir5585 ?
Exactly caused 14 million is not good at the box office
As a Jamaican who grew up in Jamaica (Disappointed)
Thank you. Thanks for watching/commenting.
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.
And that’s what a lot of these critics aren’t getting. To me the most impressive parts of the movie was the representation of Rastafari and Bobs relationship with it. To see these kinds of themes depicted in Hollywood is unheard of and I’m glad they took the route that they did
I agree with this. Personally I enjoyed the film and felt we saw Bob go from a musician to a messenger. There is no way every one will be happy as Bob is so loved.
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! 🇯🇲 ✌🏽🙏🏽
Well said and nail on!
👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
Well said.
You said it exactly, dammed is you do, dammed if you dont
Bob Marley’s life can’t be summed up in 100 minutes.
Did you see Ray, the biopic of Ray Charles?
@@BushaBandulu yup
I don’t think that was their purpose.
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
Glad you enjoyed it. Thanks for watching/commenting.
Well said!
But wouldn’t you want the whole world to embrace this movie the way you did? I told people the only reason I could understand what was going on. I followed the action and not the dialogue, and it wasn’t edited anyway, that someone who wasn’t involved from the beginning could get a clear picture of the magnitude of the man.
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.
Thank you for that
I loved it and it almost made me cry and I am going to see it again and again I really loved it
YOU ARE SO RIGHT 👏👏👏👏 AS A JAMAICAN 🇯🇲 THEY LEAVE OUT A LOT OF THINGS ❤
Exactly just saw it last night and felt it was a little short of a movie and also thought that they could have added more information
Yep. Thanks for watching/commenting.
@@b.p4958 Definitely. Thanks for watching/commenting.
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
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
100%. So glad you made it here. Thanks to your dad!!! And thank you for watching and commenting. I agree.
FINALLY SOMEONE SPEAKING TRUTH!! About this film. 🙏. Thank you.
This is all I been saying and people want to tell me bout Rita is the queen the wifey. Mi no business, the movie is bout Bob, not Rita. This is a Bob Marley love story, dropped on Valentine's day.
Thank you for your comment you are right . Bob recognized all of his children . I’m going to see the movie . I loved Bob grew up in the islands listening to him.
@@Gojo.608 I'm ok I will pass this 1. Plus the only Jamaican that will benefit from the profit will be Ziggy and Rita. Not 1 major Jamaican actor. Therefore if my own culture won't benefit from its own culture. Then I'm not for it.
You are right I am Jamaican and that film gave no justice to our legend 👍🏾
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.
👏👏👏 it felt like some black feminist bs rather than telling Bob's story without biasis.
2.5 hrs,,,,nooo, it was only 1hr and couple minutes
@@user-dx5mg9by9y no it didn't. Go get therapy.
Lol yeah way to undermine the movie
Rita was a big part of his life and you think its to elevate her when the movie is literally about him shes his wife ofc shes going to be in the damn movie
@@gambit5667 Yes it was ,
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.
So glad its the #1 movie in America!
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.
They did cover that
Incomplete...exactly. Thanks for watching/commenting.
@@leoneforte444they covered the love between him and his wife. And I loved that because Rita got to share her part of the story. But I feel they should have added more of Cindy Breakspeare. But I think they left her out because of their love for Damian.
You’re welcome. I felt like they also should have included his mother’s struggle with him as a child coming out of trenchtown looking for a better life. They could’ve shown his experience when he tried marijuana for the first time. Or the night Ziggy was born, very funny story. I think a Netflix series would be the way to go. That would cover a lot of his life and people could connect with Bob on a more deeper level.
Have you ever watch a movie on Martin Luther King? You think every aspect of his life could fit in 2 hours? Not possible. That is why there are multiple movies about him. Each one is different.
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.
Yep. Too many inexperienced, unqualified cooks at that. Thanks for watching/commenting.
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 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 hear you. Glad you enjoyed it. Thanks for watching/commenting.
Without Rastafari they wouldn't be Bob the Legend and they left that out. Rastafari was his Life
Absolutely. Thanks for watching/commenting.
@@THATGUYTALKSMOVIES Raspek
They didn’t leave that out at all, did you not watch the film??
@leoneforte444 Alot of people didn't know that and still don't know that.
Did you actually watch the film? You didn't see the elder Rasta teaching up in the hills? Multiple times? Plus they spoke about Rasta all the time throughout the film.
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
Yeah, and it wasn't done well. That's all I'm saying. If it's going to focus on that stuff, then at least make a decent drama and a film worth watching. Thanks for watching/commenting.
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 wish Spike would have done this film! You so right! I saw Malcom X in Kentucky the White people gave it a Standing Ovation!
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
Thanks for watching/commenting.
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
Almost every thing you just said was in the movie. Watch it again, it’s not just a movie but also a piece of art.
@@alntr2872 Thanks for watching/commenting.
Sounds like it was made by "influencers", not artists.
You said total let down so I guess you could have make a better bio pic….And what you really know about Bob life ppl like you always find something to say…smh
😂😂
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!
Wow, a Bob Marley burgher joint. Thank God that didn't happen! Thanks for watching/commenting.
I just got back from the theater. I agree with you
Thanks for watching/commenting.
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.
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.
I hear you. Thanks for watching/commenting.
You captured my exact sentiments. I wasn't expecting much and in that respect, I wasn't disappointed. I'm fun from Ghana, west Africa and you're right, he's HUGE here. I listen to his music almost daily. No way am I gonna let my memories and my experiences with his music be ruined by Hollywood. Thanks.
Exactly! We in West Africa (Sierra Leone for me) have a very unique connection to reggae music and to Bob Marley in particular. His music is part of our childhoods and is played at most celebrations from weddings to christenings. We don't take lightly to his image being played with, second only to Jamaicans I'm sure.😀@@fius10456
This movie was made, supervised and executive produced by his family though, not so much "Hollywood." Ziggy, and Neville Garrick were on set every single day of shooting.
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
This was nothing but a poor attempt by Ziggy to rewrite his father's legacy to suit his own narrative. In the Rasta culture the women have little or no say in the men's life, and therefore Rita had no say in Bob's love life with Cindy or with other women. Also all of Bob's children were an integral part of his life, but every scene with the kids he only showed five of the children. The three Bob had with Rita and her two outside the marriage. The interaction that Bob had with the henchmen and the involvement of the CIA with the leader of the opposition was glossed over and should have been a major theme of the movie.
@@barrylloyd5864 You're forgetting that about half of Bob's kids weren't born or were infants during the time period this movie takes place. so there's that.
Saw The movie ! It should have started with Bob growing up! It goes back an forth! But I'm glad they made it tho!
I made a mistake! The Movie is The Harder they Come not The Harder they Fall! And it's about Jimmy Cliff not Peter Tosh! My Bad!
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.
You're welcome, and thank you... for watching/commenting.
Exactly it was stupid the shooting scene made no sense the whole movie felt sped up or rushed
@@user-pp9bl5gr1n Yep, exactly. Thanks for watching/commenting.
Great analysis. 💯🇯🇲
Thank you
Appreciated. Thank you. Thanks for watching/commenting.
This is only part 1 of Bobs life. More to come. I think Kingsley did a great job myself…Oscar nomination performance
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.
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..
Yep, exactly! Thanks for watching/commenting.
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❤️
Thanks for watching/commenting.
Finally someone actually giving their true opinion. I agree with you 💯 I’ve been to his museum in Kingston Jamaica it was amazing experienced. I actually got chills.
I agreed, they should have top directors for this biopic with top writers.
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.
The movie wasn't about his life! It was about his politics
Exactly!! Like what was that,,,nothing about his side chicks, etc
I agree, I thought they would share more about his cancer but like you said the Children might have been against that. They could have shown his journey in Africa, and how he is memorialized in Ethiopia.
@Blessings-zq2ck you wanna know more bout his side chips ect. Try looking at the many documentaries that's out there. Again, the movie was about peace unity and his politics, not his life!!!
They did say it was only on 76 to 78. You went in with expectations they never said.
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
Don’t even think Ziggy smoke any more he haven’t been in Jamaica or around real Rastas In a while
The film had no soul just like ziggy don’t have
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.
Glad you enjoyed it. Thanks for watching/commenting.
I subbed because you're telling the truth. I do appreciate that. God bless ya!
Truly appreciated. Thank you. Thanks for watching/commenting & the sub!
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.
You're right, it's the story told from Ziggy's perspective, and therefore is what it is.
A story of his father told from Damiens perspective would have been completely different , his mum would be central.
If you see this movie as "my father", by ziggy marley, it makes sense.
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!
Yep, agreed. Thanks for watching/commenting.
I’m insulted. I left the theater early in disappointment.
I feel you. Thanks for watching/commenting.
That's because it was past your bed time.
Oh no, i havent seen it yet. I was so impressed with the stage play, it was amazing ❤
I seen it yesterday and your absolutely right. It's like a beautiful pie with no filling
Spot on. I just subscribed
Thank you! Thanks for watching/commenting and subscribing! Appreciated.
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. ❤
I am going to watch @ home!. Maybe. No disrepect!
Man know weh him ah chat bout still
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.
For authenticity it would have helped if they have had a genuine Jamaican actot
once we heard the accent we were impressed. It fell off at some points for Kingsley and lashana but what made us happy was that other than the two stars majority of the cast were jamaican born or born from jamican parents in the UK. Jamaicans heavily represented. Even the white austrailian interviewer in the movie was a born jamaican. @@user-eb8jn1hw8e
Just because someone isn’t Jamaican doesn’t mean they can’t critique a movie based on a Jamaican artist.
never said you didn't have the right, just pointed out that the movie was made to appease the Jamaican audience. @@Dedego768
Referring more to just giving it a more authentic feel to the film, so don't be surprised to see an actor like Finn Wolfhard playing Michael Jackson
I thought I was the only person thought that way, definitely need a series.
I saw the movie and Love it. My expectations were based on the the producers and director's vision of what they were trying to accomplish. They stated it was not about his whole life but a snippet 1976 to 1978 and an intelligent person would comprehend that an hour and 47 minutes couldn't convey the whole life story of a legend like Bob Marley. I guarantee that Paramount is already planning the mini series. So you all wait and see. Anyway , the movie is breaking records all over the world and BIG UP to Ziggy Marley and the family. .
Glad you enjoyed it. Thanks for watching/commenting.
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
Spot on
Thanks for watching/commenting.
I just watched. Excellent review. I have subscribed. Everything you said was the truth.
Cool. Thanks so much for watching/commenting and the sub! Appreciated!
So far I amhearing positives about the movie. plan to watch
I am a Jamaican and I DISAGREE with you. The movie was spectacular.
Too fucking lie
They even left out Peter tosh wow how?
Totally agree with you bro. I'm a huge Bob Marley & the Wailers fan from 1970. It played in Cayman, never went to see it for the same reasons you mentioned.
I can feel ur sincerity in this review sir. There's no lying in you.
It would have helped for authenticity if they had a Jamaican actor to play Bob Marley
True. Thanks for watching/commenting.
Wouldn't make a difference with a butt script
@@micrhymer4062 all the more reason for an authentic actor which could have at least covered up some of it
Sigh, not again. This is like Mexicans upset that J.Lo played Selena when in reality no one else could have played that role to a T. Ultimately Bob Marley's story or life isn't limited to a country or an accent/culture. He was more than that and clearly much was captured in terms of his essence.
@@sharined1 although it may be a good fiim it now has a documentary feel to it as opposed to a betrayal of Bob Marley. Next year a film about Michael Jackson is going to be released year and his nephew will play his role for obvious reasons. The Marley family have a similar NEPHEW that would have been fitting for the role.
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
Bob and I go way back,you are so correct in your analogy,just in the trailers I saw what you’re saying???
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.
Yes, they're not 100% accurate. Would be quite impossible. Has nothing to do with whether a film can effectively tell a story. It wasn't a terrible film. It was just an empty, poorly written script and poorly directed film. Glad you enjoyed it. Thanks for watching/commenting.
Gonna wait to see it on cable for free. I already know alot. His relationship with Rita and the original Wailers Tosh and Bunny there is alot we don't know.
Yeah, they never got into any of that with Peter Tosh and more. Total miss. Thanks for watching/commenting.
Watch the documentary if you want all that , the movie specifically focused on 1976-1978 that’s why .It’s not about the life and death of Bob , it’s more of the Making of the album Exodus and the meaning behind making it.
@@ayanareid1357 Yeah, I've seen the documentaries. That's not the point here. They choose to focus on one period of time and essentially, didn't even write or execute that well. Overall, my general point is that Bob Marley deserved a truly well done, well written film of some length. Someone should have thought through a much broader perspective and provided a much more substantial film. That all. Thanks for watching/commenting.
I agree with this film critics review of this movie, i felt that the film makers left a lot of things out of the movie, it seemed like they didn’t take real time to do the movie properly, i think the should do a mini series to really capture the whole essence of Bob and his life!
Very true. Thanks for watching/commenting.
Just listened another movie reviewer who thought he would hate it but ended up liking it. The bigger question is, is it me or are more people talking about Bob, his life, etc than any other film in recent times?
I gather the point is that the movie being out there garners a discussion and some focus on Bob, which, would be a good thing. That may be true, but, if there was a movie about pretty much anyone out there, it would garner attention and be, trending. Just wish this film were bigger and trending....for much more of the right reasons. But again, if the positive note is hey, there's a Bob Marley movie out and some folks like it, that's fine. They did a Whitney Houston movie which was absolutely terrible but hey......I guess it got folks talking about Whitney Houston for a bit. Thanks for watching/commenting.
I've been coming to Jamaica for over 50 years. I'm the youngest hippie to do so, I came 3 times when I was 17. I have lived here for over 10 years now. This I know about potois it can not be taught. Yes, you can learn the words and inflection, but the emotion and cadence can't be taught. You must be born into it. Not having a Jamaican play Bob Marley is like making rum punch without the rum. I've only made it 20 seconds into the trailers and had to turn it off. Bob's message and greatness can not be copied he means too much to me, and his music made me who i am today. I know I could never watch the movie. One love and bless up. Irie.
Respect. And Thanks for watching and commenting!
To capture Bob’s lifetime essence on film..it would need to be a Mini Series..
Because there is so much content.
The Actor Ben did a spectacular job. It’s not, and can’t be easy playing iconic larger than life, as deep as the ocean, yet simple humble and uncomplicated Bob Marley. Bob is an ‘Emotion’ and a complexity of feelings to most people.
I disagree with you. I could not wait to see this movie. And when it was ending, I already couldn’t wait to see it again. I was sitting in my seat tearing up, chanting and Saluting The King .
Ziggy, Rita, Bob Marley’s Family fingerprint is all over this project. Nicely done. Loved seeing Mutabaruka and Sevanna in the movie. I feel it was a nice and important touch for Muta to be represented in this movie.
To be frank.. I wanted to see much more of everything about him. But from a professional point of view, I know that it all can’t fit into one film.
I give thanks for the blessing of the offering of this movie.
One ❤ Love
One And All
Bob Marley.. Still miss him
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?
Yep, exactly. Thanks for watching/commenting.
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.
I agree
Spot on review.
U nailed it even though I did not watch it ,was meant to go yesterday but after hearing from who went and the stuff I read I can to concl😮soon u just gave here it’s hood for rookie Marley fans as they won’t know much about the man but if u a big fan they u will be disappointed there is so much animosity between the Marley family and some people
who were part of Bob’s journey they had to be left out for personal feelings rather than Bob’s story
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
True. Thanks for watching/commenting.
I was hoping to see 9 mile and St Anne's. Guess it's not worth spending money on going to watch if the film company have ruined his story .
You missed the whole point of movie 😢
@@ClaireisVeganplease go and see it for yourself. Jamaica was represented in the film but at the end of the day the movie was set in 1977-1979 when Jamaica was on the brink of Civil War. It’s apart of our history and im glad they chose to represent it. But there are also shots filmed across the island in places that Bob frequented. This movie isn’t his life story it just zeroes in on three years worth of events
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
The movie is not about his entire life it is just about 3 years of it, there many documentaries about his life. Some people just want to make a fuss.
That was exactly my thought right now, when my daughter said the movie was an hour and 45 minutes, I sad "What". I also loved what you said "Heights of the Heights in music" Nuff said
100% agree, I watch it
Thanks for watching/commenting.
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.
Perhaps the MJ biopic will add that. lol. Who knows. Thanks for watching/commenting.
@@THATGUYTALKSMOVIES hmmmm. I doubt this. Im sharing the same feelings as you that this biopic gonna suck. First of all, we can't do a biopic about Michael alone. Should've been about The Jacksons Entire Family. Secondly, should've been something GRANDIOSE. And not just a 3 hours movie but a 3 seasons Netflix or HBO serie.
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 🤛🏾
In my opinion this movie is to regenerate the bob marley universe and it may affect younger ones and show a good introduction to who he was. Plenty of documentaries out there.
Exactly! There are so many documentaries and books on Bob’s life. A 2 hour movie will not cover his entire life.
I'm sceptical and I don't think if I will be able to seat through an Hollywood version of Bob Marley. I resent seeing anybody trying to be or portraying him. He was and will forever be reel. I don't think anyone could to capture who he was and translate all the emotions he brought to us. I still remember the first time I heard Bob Marley. I Cherish the moments. It was an out this world experience. Only thing I want to see about Bob Marley is documentaries..
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
I hear you. Appreciate the insight. Thanks for watching/commenting. Not speaking for Jamaicans. I'm speaking as human being, music lover, art lover, Bob Marley fan and a lover and reviewer of cinema.
Saw this trailer with almost every movie I saw last year. Seemingly they were pumping it.
On another note: got my dune 2 tickets.
Yeah, well, the movie...ehhh. And yep, got my DUNE 2 tix for the IMAX theater in NYC. Truly can't wait!! Thanks for watching/commenting!
Agreed I just watched it in cinema.
Totally Agree With You 👍
Don't even want to see it and I'm Jamaican.
I hear that. Thanks for watching/commenting.
Sir you are right. This is bullcrap just watch it, Insulting to real Jamaican
Thank you! Thanks for watching/commenting.
As a non- Jamaican. I’m offended for yall Jamaicans smh
I saw it twice, had me in tears..loved the movie
Glad you enjoyed it. Thanks for watching/commenting!
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
It's called entertainment for a reason. Make your own Bob Marley movie, then let people judge you! Bob Marley music speaks for itself
The fake Jamaican accent is a turn off for me.
I hear you. Thanks for watching/commenting.
I'm English and was taught Jamaican this way...if you want a bacon sandwich in Kingston you have to ask for a 'beer can sandwich'.
Easy 😂.
@@pablolowenstein1371 lol.
Jamaican here and I saw the movie as well. While I did enjoy the movie, I must say I appreciate your perspective. I had no issue with Kingsley Ben Adir or Lashauna Lynch playing Bob and Rita respectively. The accents were not an issue for me, as I realized the intent is not just to reach Jamaicans, but the large audience of Bob Marley fans internationally. I will take a second look and I might then be able to put my emotions aside and see some of the shortcomings you saw.
Respect
Most appreciated. Thank you. Great point about them not getting too authenticate with the accent so as to be understood by a wide audience. Thanks for watching/commenting.
Substance is more than anything else. The line, “so a jacket sell record?”! It’s the same thing you can’t restrict time limit like that to create a Bob Marley biopic
