Did you guys like the movie and think some Jamaicans are over reacting or the other way around lmk ⬇️

The guy who played YOUNG BOB killed it tho

They should have given a disclaimer that the movie only focuses on 2 years of his life. I was under the impression that we would somewhat get a full story.

The actors wasn't the problem about the movie. It's the story that was told. It was water down. From the CIA involvement in Jamaican politics, to Lee scratch Perry, to his own Jamaican people both hating him and loving him, to the women in his life to how his music reach the world and how it affect everyone!

If you didn’t like the movie i’d recommend you to watch his documentary “Marley” released in 2012,it’s really good and almost brought me to tears. Rita really supported him even after she knew about him being with other women cause she realized he was part of a bigger purpose and so she became sort of like a guardian angel to him.

This movie was awesome it felt like I was seeing Bob perform live.

The Bob Marley Movie is just a Hollywood movie or product for PROFIT as always. What Jamaican natives at home in Jamaica need to do with the Marley family is to make their own AUTHENTIC Jamaican movie. The world awaits you.

The son said he saw his father spirit within the actor. How he view certain things, reminded him of Bob so that's how he got the role.

I am Jamaican I didn’t see nothing wrong with the accent. The movie theater was full and no one wanted to leave after the movie finished.We all was sitting there jamming.

The movies is based on two years of his life

Gotta understand why the people are upset... especially knowing that Bob was for the people

Jamaican people nuh easy enuh .. No sah … It really hurt har feelings … smiling

It's a wonderful movie! The cast is incredible, and the movie got a standing ovation when we went to see it and the theater was packed! I give it ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ And it's the #1 movie in America! Kingsley played Malcom X, Barack Obama, and Bob Marley! Major range!

The script felt unfinished and the movie was too short. Many great scenes and scenarios were presented but most were short flashes and never developed. On top of that much license was taken with the factual history. Many characters and events were mashups of various people and different time periods. The music and the sound of the tracks in the theatre was the best thing about it. I would see it again for the music.

I saw the movie and I loved it. My partner is Jamaican born and said he was pleasantly surprised by the movie as well. If you haven’t, see the movie for yourself and make a judgement.

The question should be what was Ziggy/Rita permitted to do in Hollywood operations. Remember Selena was played by Jennifer Lopez . I don't think we know the whole story , not every family has all the creative control of a movie production. The movie was awesome and a great introduction of Bob Marley for this generation who may not even know him.

I watch it Friday and I loved it. The acting was phenomenal. This movie is only focusing on the period from 1976-1978 and not all aspects of Bob Marley life.

Not Jamaican but I feel your pain. The main actor does not even have natural hair. City of God used unknown Brazilian actors and was brilliant

I understand the critics about the Bob Marley movie but it is also quite fun movie to watch. My feeling is that the film seems to have been made to restart the cash machine around the Marley name but anyway, in the continous tribulation times we cross, it is always good to have some positive energey around. Obviously, the film highlights Bob and Rita's relationship and leaves out a whole section of enormous importance in Marley's life and career: Coxsone, Lee Perry, Cindy Breakspeare, Peter and Bunny relashionship towards Bob ... which is quite strange in my opinion . As if a message wanted to be conveyed. I don't understand why the film is less than 2 hours long when a film in 2 parts could have been totally possible. Bob fought so many battles: professional battle, for his health... it could have been an encouragement for all the people who are currently going through these ordeals to see how Bob lived these different periods of his life. Another thing we don't see is the physical violence that Bob allegedly had towards Rita. In the film it is she who hits, not him, yet that is not what we hear. I still think that Rita played a huge role in Bob's career after his death and that she totally deserves the status she has today. She is the one responsible, the guardian of the Marley name and who fought heart and soul to preserve the legacy. I think Bob must be proud of what she accomplished for the family.

14:00 I absolutely loved it but disclaimer I'm American, but just learning more about what he stood for and fought for, its global. His message is a message we need today, inspired me to learn more about him and inspired me to do more in my own flight for Justice...

Movie was fantastic!! Majority of people who hate it , never even watched it

The actor that Bob Marley killed it and plus Bob Marley was mixed he’s father was british.

I loved the movie and I would go and watch it again and I am thinking about it for Wednesday😊

I loved it - I just don't think anyone should comment unless they have seen it. It was well done and only featured a part of his life - why do people have to be so negative - why can't we be proud and happy that this film was made and has been, and continues to be, a box office hit.

Don't listen to the critics. The movie was a brilliant feel good film.

I am American and I agree with alot of Jamaicans. When I first saw the trailer for the movie, it looked phony to me because it didn't have Jamaican actors playing the part, but I feel like Jamaicans should be happy overall that the movie was made because Bob Marley touched the whole world. He put reggae and so much more on the map 🥰.

I so enjoyed the movie. The casting and acting was great.

I loved it, I thought it was a good story. People just don’t understand how hard is to make a movie like this!

i really love this movie people could say what they want my family and my self really enjoy Bob movie

I love the Movie, if ppl dont like it, they can go make another movie. Rita Marley is a very strong woman and she was Bob Marley strenght and inspiration, she accepted Bob Marley for who is was, the good the bad the ups and the downs, she knew Bob Marley was special they had a special bond that no one could break, I just love that!! Did anyone see the credits, Brad Pitt was an executive producer of this One Love movie.

It was a good movie to me

Ziggy didnt want a Jamaican playing the part....simple. a yard man actor. Would have killed it and did well.

The fact they DIDN'T have a JAMAICAN playing BOB made me have NO INTEREST in seeing that movie!

Way better movie than any other movie that becomes number one in the US… “every government is illegal” - what other movie on that level says such a thing to the masses?

The actors R n B are black - British. Lashana is of Jamaican decent

The girl switching from Patois to American crack me up😂😂😂 Respect✊🏽♥️💛💚💪🏾💯🔥

Regardless Good or Bad ...this movie gonna introduce more generations to Bob music and message .. as Bob said his music songs never stop ..lives on. Bless his soul *

Just all about money! 💰 💰

Movie #1 on box office rn and so far grossed $45m so somebody lying..social media clearly not real life!

Great job 👏🏾. Subscribed.

They used to treat Bob badly call him country boy there’s a clip where guys were saying he was not from trecnhtown they called him half caste half breed so just let Ziggy do what he feels is right seasoned actor is always better than personal friends he wanted a world wide appeal so he used actors who spoke proper English to teach a wide audience not to please only jamaican locals

I haven’t heard anyone say they didn’t like it. I will give it eight out of 10. I feel like the movie was too short and they left a lot out.

There was a part in the movie where the gunmen who shot bob came to bob marleys house for forgiveness...in don Taylor's book, (marley and me) he claims him and bob got a call saying they have the gunmen in a alley...bob went and they gave him the gun to shoot them...but bob refused....they ended up shooting the 3 gun men in the head in front of bob...and the 4th man went mad on cocaine and they let him live.

Don't tek eh back...mama. yuh right and left. Mi nuh kno wah ah gwan wit ziggy.

10 out of 10.......respect the motherfucking GREATNESS

Imagine making a movie about YOUR PARENT and a rando says they dont accept 😂😂💀 like why would i give a shit. You didnt even know him , his son, his wife and his best friends made this movie 💀 like wtf. MAKE YOUR OWN MOVIE THEN, write your own script, get your own cast . Simple. Imagine being touched about how people feel about how chose to remember my fada. Maybe just watch ut again cause you clearly missed some important shit. Dont swim in the polluted water of personal desire. OneLove is about peace and respect and theres so little of that going around

i'm not jamaican, i'm your cousin from dominican republic, but i don't think this man did justice to bob nor was the movie even close. somethings were touchy like when you can see him sad about the cancer but i only found it touchy because i knew what he might have gone through. this man is perfect for j cole role though. they fucked up this bob marley movie imo. man looks like a tower.. at least if he was short it was have done more justice but rita and him look like they own a basketball team. rita looks like she's about to block the center and he marley looks like hes about to dunk on everybody. bob marley was short. you can see that shit in every picture and video lmfao

I thought that it was incredibly wrong to completely cut out Peter Tosh and Bunny Wailer while making Chris Blackwell look like some nice benefactor and giving him all that screen time.

Remember its NOT YOUR FAMILY

Good acters 💫nice film they cant show it all.maybe another movie can be made now ..❤️💛💚👑🇯🇲

As a westerner, growing up in that era, i knew the movie would be "water down" from the trailers. Id rather see and listen to the albums i bought over the years

In my opinion, a more successful and oscar worthy version of a Bob Marley Biopic would be titled 'Rastaman'. Because Rastafarianism was the heart and Soul of Bob Marley's brief but colorful life. If the movie makers had gone with that, it would make an excellent foundation to tie together his childhood experiences, his musical career, his influence in the genesis of reggae music involving legendary producers like Lee Scratch Perry, Leslie Kong and Coxsone, his rise to super stardom, his falling out with Bunny and Peter, his relationship success and failures, the sociopolitical controversies he was involved in to his detetiorating health and last days. Also, I would expect it run up to 3 hours long and divided into chapters. With good editing, pacing, character intrigue, and killer soundtrack with original music score, 3 hours is nothing. Nolan's 'Oppenheimer' proved that. Oh well, a missed opportunity once again.

We Jamaicans are to trivial to busy watching the messenger and not the message. Us as Black people need to preserve and portray are our own history instead of complaining about white doing it before us ❤️✊🏿💚

Whether you agree with this woman or not… no one can deny she is a FORCE of nature… we need a feature film about her.

From Barbie to Marley. 😂😂😂

Your last point is very good. I’ve been all over trench town, Kingston in general. Portland, tivoly gardens. Once you hear patois it gets easy but new ears it takes a bit. Big ups on the video. You a g

Loving the podcast!!! Can't wait to watch the movie!

I enjoyed the movie....One Love

I like it ❤ any positive message will help the world right now! One love 🧡 one heart 💓 ONE DAY

I THOUGHT IT WAS A GREAT MOVIE ON THA MON!!! AND I AM A REALLY BIG BOB MARLEY FAN SINCE A KID.

What Jamaican actor would you choose to play Bob,because l cant think of one..

The movie was great!

People complain too much. Name the jamaican actor who should have portrayed Bob. Does Denzel know what is to be persecuted and shunned the way Malcolm X was? Yet he did a great job portraying Malcolm X.

“Nasty dirty sell out” 😂😂😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Everytime a black man makes big money moves he's automatically labeled a sellout, Bob left his family a gold mine which is his image,name & music that's generational wealth so what if ziggy allowed paramount to make a movie this man is doing whats best for his family, bob Marley is a global icon he ain't just a local Jamaican icon.

I hope the movie garners some awards. Jamaicans need to face reality and get over themselves. Marley was and is a global Icon

I’m not interested in ever watching this movie, I doubt there’s any new information that hasn’t already been revealed over the years.

"You all sold out your people," SHUT UP! Bob Marley transitioned years ago. Why didn't Jamaican producers put in the fund & make a "Bob Marley" movie and cast all Jamaican actors if they so chose Bob Marley made Jamaica. Jamaica did not make Bob Marley. They tried to ki!! him and never supported him much during his music career. Bob Marley was more supported internationally, remember that! Jamaica did not support Bob until he transitioned, even though Bob Marley carried Jamaica in his heart. Despite the accent, all Bob Marley's children are not actors to carry off the movie with such impact. People all over need to understand the movie, and if done in the patois language, the understanding would be restricted to mostly JA audience only. Therefore, those ladies & others cussing & going off need to start sending +positive vibes, and make Jamaica feel proud today. They need to shup up, change their narrative, and embrace the legacy of this musical Jamaican icon & legend. "One Love❤ Let's get together & feel alright!"

ONE LOVE! That is the message, the message is going over peoples heads being caught up in drama

She said that one of the reasons why she disliked that they chose a none Jamaican is because of the accent. I would have to disagree with her on that because it’s extremely hard to understand a real Jamaican accent as an American. It’s a beautiful tongue but for the mainstream English speaking audiences worldwide, they won’t understand what the person is saying. This would force them to put subtitles into the movie and it wouldn’t convey the message well to do this. Another thing is that maybe they couldn’t find the talent in Jamaica 🇯🇲 to play Bob Marley. This happens in film sometimes, even recently a Nigerian woman played Harriet Tubman and did a wonderful job. I’m African American and had no issue with her playing an African American woman. She fit the part visually and captured the spirit of who Harriet was so she got the job. And I’m saying that a look alike and sound alike isn’t in Jamaica 🇯🇲 to play Bob Marley??? No but you have to trust the judgement of the family to make that discernment. Also she said something about Black Americans are always trying to be yard boys or something like that. The actors were not American, they were from the UK so I’m not understanding why she has such prejudices towards black Americans. We aren’t even in the movie. Why does it always come down to an issue with people hating on African Americans is troubling to me.

I read other people’s comments and thought I would hate it. It was pretty good. His life was so colourful that to cover everything it would take hours and have to be spread over several movies. A good production by Ziggy and co. Most people that criticise it never actually saw it.

The movie is perfect🎉🎉

The movie was amazing! I wish it was longer. I'm 100% on Ziggy's side. I'm Jamaican, and I would have sold them out as well. It's funny how the radio station in Jamaica refused to play Bob's music back in the day. He was a crazy Rasta bwoy. Most Jamaicans did not support his music. He had to go abroad to get acknowledged. Move and gwan from yahso. You can't please everyone. Sometimes, you have to choose who is going to represent you the best. In this case, it was not a Jamaican. Who cares? Bob was for the people, not just Jamaicans. His children continue his legacy. They could have been worthless and simply burn the money. They did not... they add more value to what he started. They work extremely hard as well. Be happy that we are in theater all over the world. Most Americans were unable to understand the language in the movie even though it was not a Jamaican.

I've been coming to Jamaica for over 50 years. I'm the youngest hippie to do so. 3 trips when I was 17. I've lived here now for over 10 years. This I know about potois. It can not be taught. You can learn the words and some of the inflection, but you can not be taught the emotion and cadence that makes potois what it is. You must be born into it. Not having a Jamaican play, Bob Marley is like making rum punch without the rum. It just can't be done. I tried watching the trailers and only made it about 20 seconds and had to turn it off. This man was too great, and his message so strong that any attempt to copy it is impossible. One love and stay irie.

If you sell your rights to anything that can no longer belongs to you so the person who bought it can do whatever they feel like doing

And to add insult to injury not even a real dread , they chose a British dude , with a lace front dread wig ! No sah .. Bob rolling in his grave !

I don't know why the negative reviews. The people I know who have seen it sobbed and were very moved by it. Yes there was sooooo much more to his life but there are also countless documentaries about it all. This movie was just a snapshot of a small timespan of his life. It was just to try to portray his main ESSENCE, not tell his whole story. Maybe Ziggy wanted his father remembered for the essence of his soul and for his legacy. It's called ONE LOVE! And I will add that his legacy was way bigger than his nationality. His nationality was just a piece of his earthly incarnation.

They did a good job, stop been a hater. Stop fight against black people.

The harder they come movie staring Jimmy cliff found Jamaican actors

The main thing out of 2 things I dislike about this movie is it doesn't include neither Bunny Wailer or Peter Tosh(the other is not focusing on a bit more of his life like 73-78 give or take and his life in between releasing The Wailers albulms)

I agree, im not happy about the actor playing marley, why couldn't you find a real jamaican actor instead of phony English man. Im 68, i grew up in my teens saw him at maple leaf gardens in Toronto. I dated a true jamaican rasta at 19, met him at my first job. He taught me so much about rasta, didnt eat meat, the music and religion. I loved him so much. His name was Winston. We eventually broke up, we did love eachother, but the religion and cultural differences ended our relationship. He also had a woman who was pregnant and a rasta like him, hid it from me. I found out hard way. So i cried walked away, years later he came to me wanting to move in with me, he was eating meat and drinking beer, said he learned a lot and changed. He taught me everything about marley, Juda, king of kings, but it was too late. I wasn't interested anymore. I still miss him 40 years later. Winston O'Hara.

She says everything that I was thinking ,glad she seh so

I enjoyed the film Though when "Bob" spoke his first line, I was very worried, but Kingsley grew on me as the film went on. I watched Ziggy Marley live in concert a couple of years ago and he blew me away..He played a lot of his father's songs and a few of his own. But I get why Jamaicans don't like it, I'm from Liverpool and I've never heard any not from here able to do the accent.

I really liked!

As a Jamaican I loved it

This movie was phenominal, these people talking with ignorance. Its obvious some people judging it without seeing it.

I loved it

Just finished seeing the movie. It was amazing. There's no way it can cover his entire 36 years on earth but it covers the Jah Rastafari message. The love, foundation and understanding of Bob and Rita. The global reach of his music but more importantly his views and source of his writing. JA artistd dont get much credit for their writing abilities but Bob was FIRST CLASS as an ORIGINAL songwriter. I'm glad he was able to perform in Afrcia - because Africa WAS NOT A MONEY TING 😂

As a Jamaican, I get that pple want it to be as authentic as possible (which i thought it was) and to give jamaican actors a chance, but the acting was great and the artistic direction was great and with respect, this movie isnt called “Jamaica” its called “Bob Marley” and his own kids executed this vision so if u dont like it then its not for u🤷🏾‍♂️

I could tell by the trailer that it wasn't going to be good,I never planned on seeing it & never will and I'm American‼️

Here we go again...Hollywood is not going to portray Bob Marley in a certain way, they don't want to create a revolution

The actor is trini and the actress who played Rita is Jamaican but they used Queen England English because if it was an authentic Jamaican accent a lot of people wouldn't understand

A lot of black Americans feel the same way stop playing our icons is that divisive

Ive been a bad boy and I don't think I'm going to heaven. I'm worried I'm going to spend eternity in the slums of Jamaica.

Over the last four years, the movies that won Oscars have had subtitles. I really think they missed an opportunity to do something award-winning versus something that is liking to a concert.

I think the critics are definitely overreacting. I saw the movie and loved it! Paramount pictures spent a lot of money to make this movie and have their reputation to maintain so they didn't want to take a chance with the acting. They hired people who can act. Movies are about acting! When you watch an American movie, sometimes the lead actors are from other countries but you don't hear anyone complaining what they can't use American actor. I knew this movie would upset some people because that called life. You can't please everyone. I cried during some parts of the movie because I was so proud! Bod has been dead for a long time so critics, just be proud that someone had the idea to make a movie about the greatest reggae superstar of all times cause it might never happen to happen. Give tanks, Jah, Rastafari!!

I feel what she saying but the actors where good for what they were given 💯❤❤❤

From my perspective, I give the film 6/10. If I were to make a movie based on a real life person, I'd do my best to cram in as much of their life as possible. With regards to the film, there's chunks that were missed out and things that were glossed over. And that's one of the disappointments for me. The other thing that disappoints me is that to hear there were no Jamaican actors good enough to play Bob. I don't believe that for one micro second. As was said, one of the sons could've played their father because all of them look like Bob. I personally think that this was more catered for Hollywood, rather than a depiction of the life of Bob.

they did a good job after watching it i didn,t quite understand why people hated it but now i understand but the movie was good overall i have heard several complaints from people saying it was boring or how the movie failed to catch there attention the entire time.

Just finished watching the movie. It felt a little rushed. Touched on Bob Marley’s purpose and reasoning well. The accents were off for those who know. No actual Jamaicans playing Bob or Rita, sadly. I live in New Orleans and recently met one of his grandsons and at a Second Line back in Jan this year. Not feeling it. So it felt white washed and like a sellout. Almost like a musical. First part was slow, rest of the movie picked up. Got kinda messy with his and his wife’s affairs. The message was still received overall. Hey, it’s all we have for now so I went out to support.
