SIAP, searched and skimmed 5 pages

Bob Marley is one of the biggest cultural influences in my life and I don't qualify that with 'musical'. What some persons accomplish in such a short life span is truly embarrassing to me, but I am truly grateful for his message, for Reggae, for The Wailers...I could go on.

Musical Biopics often don't take many chances of exposing fractures in the historical and commercial narrative. Fingers crossed.

Premiered in Jamaica, opens Valentines Day.

 

 

 

 

 

Looking forward to this one. Saw my first preview for this one before M:I last summer and let out an audible "fuck, yeah" and my wife punched me in the arm. Really hoping it doesn't suck.

Knew nothing about this before watching Colbert. I wasn't deep into Marley, but if one of his songs was playing I enjoyed it. Just cool vibes. Inspired me to visit Jamaica.

I agree. Not sure how I feel about it. I liked Kingsley in the few roles I’ve seen him in, he played Obama in The Comey Rule. I get him confused sometimes with Rege-Jean Page.

Same. 

I'm surprised for a guy like Bob Marley that they didn't find a higher profile actor and director/producer/screenwriter to take on this project much earlier than this.

I get him confused with Ben Kingsley.

I thought the trailer was awesome, but I sort of do get the worry that the cinematography of some of the indoor and smaller sets have a lower budget staged feel. But there also seems to be a lot of outdoor wider crowd shots especially shot on location in Jamaica.

Fingers Crossed.

I'm trying to avoid media, but this came up on a reel.

 

 

This has been the first trailer every time I've gone to the movies since covid it feels like.  So I'm glad it's finally being released just to stop seeing it.

My rant. Bob gets all the press, but his band was loaded with talent. Peter Tosh, Neville Livingston. Aston Barrett, Earl Lindo. Going to a Bob Marley show in the 60’s was an out of body experience compared to the typical rock and roll concert. 
 

As a true follower of the genre from its beginnings from who worked with Marley like Desmond Dekker. Marley was great, he should get all the credit for commercializing Reggae. But, I always felt “The Bush doctor” Tosh had the highest ceiling. Especially once he signed with Rolling Stones records. But his ass went fucking crazy and burned it to the ground. 

Family Man just died a couple of days ago.  RIP

If the ember of a song is an obvious vocal usage, then cut to the studio production followed by a short celebratory montage of onto the next bigger plane, that's what makes some biopics suck.

I canceled some Valentines Day primo Alamo Draft House seats, but for other reasons.

Huh.  I'd never see a Doors biopic, they sucked ass, as did Rocketman.

Saw Marley today, and was pleasantly surprised.  6/10.  Lashana Lynch was particularly good as Rita Marley.  Nothing struck me as nearly so bad as reviews would indicate.

Thought it was meh.  Great soundtrack though lol 

Glad it's doing well; but they really pussed out and made this a by the books biopic. So many interesting aspects of his life either watered down or flat out ignored.

Did you know much about Marley before seeing the movie?

It felt like a puff piece created by the Marley Estate for the sole purpose of boosting profits.

 

I didn’t find it that interesting. Was ok, but nothing more.
