@@darkworld6191 I thought Kingsley did a good job but the amount of detail on Bob Marley’s life was really shallow and didn’t spend enough time showing the audience who Marley really was and it left out some key details about his life and too much time on Rita. Also, not enough of his music was on display in the movie. In a way the movie felt rushed.

Just saw the movie. Biblical. I love how they showed his temper and bit of loss of control, but he was truly humbled, enlightened being in the end. To say his life was for others not him, is just another level of godlike. . What a legend.

I needed this in Puerto Rican and Dominican born and raised in PR. We moved to the U.S. in 2007 when I was 5 years old. I came here speaking only Spanish not understanding a lick of English. So growing up in an all white school I was bullied so much about being color brown and having an accent and also just my hair being different texture from theirs. As I grew up I started getting better at hiding my accent and now I’m 22 years old I for some reason refuse to talk Spanish in public even with my own people at times. Sometimes I have to water it down to not get the attention either. This is so refreshing to hear because I’ve been thinking about this for so long but I feel like there’s people that can’t relate to me. I appreciate this♥️🙏🏽

Saw the movie earlier and it was so captivating that I did not want it to end! Getting a sense of Bob's raw emotional state while battling through adversity was heartfelt. It was a reminder that no matter how big the world sees you, we are all just humans trying to navigate the roadblocks of life. Additionally, learning just how important Rita was in his life was emotionally stimulating as God really does provide people with living angels. Every good man needs an even better woman backing him. This is a fact! Blessings to Bob and Rita. May Bob rest in love and peace 🇺🇸 🇯🇲

Ziggy, you did it. Wonderful film. Acting is excellent. The lead actor who played Bob morphed in to him as during the movie I had to remind myself that’s not Bob that’s the actor. His accent was a little off during one scene where his Trini accent was coming through. All in all, a very good film, Ziggy, your dad would be proud. The lady who played Rita was excellent. Not enough can be said about her performance, you could feel the compassion and empathy for Rita through her performance. Rita Marley is such a strong woman. Dealing with all of that unfortunately took its toll on her with her stroke, and through the performance of the young lady, you could clearly see why. Very good film. Thank you Ziggy. The metaphorical scenes of the young Bob are excellent etc.

Saw the movie yesterday. It was such a wonderful representation of who Bob was, and the message of his music, is about unifying humanity with the love of the Most High that when we tap into that energy of love; humanity will come together knowing we are all one, that vibrational energy that flows through us but has become lost along the way. Beautiful message within his music. A Truly humble man. A seeker of truth not of fame or fortune,just love; one love.

It was quite profound actually. Bob Marley is truly Devine and was placed on this earth for a higher purpose. I also wanted to get up and dance when his music was playing in the movie. I just really loved everything of the movie, even though I already knew the story. Well done Ziggy.

So interested in finding out more about him. RIP Bob, and I'm living proof that new generations are still getting introduced to your music and enjoying it. 😀 (He died quite a while before I was born.
