Spoiler Alert: The man chasing him was in his fathers image, but the man who got to him and fathered him was Emperor Haile Selassie the Ethiopian King who Rastafarians philosophy and identity are based on. The ring was a gift from Ethiopian royalty from a later generation. The burning sugar cane fields were depicting the effects of slavery and colonialism and turmoil and the young Bob was running from his fathers resentment originally but ran into the accepted of Selassie. *Bob never actually met the Emperor physically but did so philosophically through his and Marcus Garvey’s message.

The time frame he was in the UK he was with another woman but his greatest album, Exodus, could not be created until Bob made the call and asked Rita to join him and help him make that album. Also, when he found out he had cancer, it was Rita he turned to not those other side chicks.

As a Bob Marley fan here, I wish they would've touched more on his childhood, his very beginning in music, and his death. Shoot! I even wish they would've touched the part with Bunny Wailer and Peter Tosh. But I understand a movie can only last max 3 hrs so, other than that, it was a good movie.

His music was massive in the 70s and 80s, in fact he was probably more popular with white people than black, you couldnt go anywhere without hearing his music, it was very powerful and uplifting, you needed a good sound system or hifi to listen to it properly, most people had a half decent system back then.

AND YOU ARE THE ONE BEING DISRESPECTFUL BY TRYING TO CONVINCE RASTAS AND JAMAICANS THAT THIS IS A GOOD MOVIE. IT IS A MOVIE ABOUT A MAN BORN THERE, THE CULTURE, AND MUSIC; AND YOU SEE ABSOLUTELY NOTHING WRONG WITH ACCEPTING A DILUTED VERSION OF BOB, REGGAE AND RASTA AND JAMAICA BECAUSE YOU CAN'T ACCEPT THE REAL AUTHENTIC BOB, RASTA, AND JAMAICAN CULTURE. YOU CANNOT POSSIBLY UNDERSTAND US AND WE DON'T EXPECT YOU TO SINCE YOU REALLY DON'T CARE. YOU'RE JUST USERS AND MISERS AND FOREIGNERS THAT COULD CARE LESS. YOU CANNOT CONVINCE ANY REAL PERSON THAT THIS IS A GOOD MOVIE WHEN IT IS A DISTORTION OF A REAL PERSON: HIS NAME IS NESTA ROBERT MARLEY. 🥱 THE MOVIE IS GARBAGE. YOU PEOPLE LOVE LIES. MOVIES ARE ALSO FAKE. JUST LIKE YOU. THAT IS WHY YOU LOVE MOVIES SO MUCH AND THINK THERE IS A SO MUCH TRUTH IN THEM🤣

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 nyabinhi drums and the italics 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.

As far as his father it was saying since his biological father neglected him and the Black man on the horse towards the end seemed to be Haile Selassie saying now he's bobs father.

Felt exactly the same. No focus on Bunny, Peter and the Carlton brothers as well. They were very important for his musical succes. It's mostly a Rita movie, what she has done for Bob.

I think this would of worked better as a 2 part film. 1st movie dealing with childhood, early music career, tosh and bunny, mortimer and the rastafari teachings. 2nd one dealing with his solo career, relationships, children and his death. The one love concert extended. People were ready to party by end and it ended lol

I took my kids yesterday night, my kids range from 17 years old to the youngest at 12 years old. Great movie for all ages. Nothing crazy, no wokeness. We loved it. I love Bob Marley. I'm in my 40's but never really know his full story. I love how he united a country, something we really need in our U.S.A. right now. I love how he is and how he sang around his children with Redemption Song. I actually cried. Love it love it love it...Your children will love it too.

I love Bob Marley‘s music I am American. My favorite was Bob Marley, Peter Tosh, Burning Spear, Alpha Blondie and so on but Bob Marley was the leading person. I love his message love his family Rita Marley will always be the queen. My daughter was born May 11, 1981 from the little bit of footage I’ve seen it’s too much of a western flavor. The Rastafarian spirit is kind of last-minute Peter Tosh would’ve been wonderful. Peter Tosh should have been in that movie. I would’ve loved to have seen a Jamaican person play Bob Marley, who played the part of Bob Marley in this upcoming movie. I resent the fact that the person who played Bob Marley is not from Jamaica. I have nothing against the brother, but it should’ve been someone of Jamaican descent most definitely I am surprised his children didn’t speak up more is it one of those things where you Play along to get along . I’m 72 years old I know Bob Marley’s history and if you knew his history you would understand more why millions of his fans are gonna be not so kosher with this movie at all it does not have the spirit of Bob Marley there

When he said Mi father is in Ethiopia He was talking about not his biological father but Haile Selasie ,king of kings lord of lord ,Ras Tafari.❤

I agree. The wife was the best part of the film. She was awesome.

They had a chance to make an epic classic and they didn't, it was too short and didn't tell his story completely

I'll explain that father and ring part, I certainly think you need to have a certain knowledge of Bob Marley's life before you see this movie. Anyway, the scene where a man showed up in a horse surrounded by fire was shown at different points in the movie, giving a new meaning each time. The actual symbolism (and it's quite deep so I don't have the perfect words) is, that his father left him at a young age, so as an adult, he accepted the Emperor Haile Selassie of Ethiopia as his father and savior. If you notice, the first few times the man on the horse appeared, he seemed to be white, but in the end, it was a black man. Bob Marley's father was white (So more like from abandonment to acceptance). It was the Emperor who sent him the ring. His wife encouraged him into the faith, believing that Jesus had returned in the form of a black man. Hope it's clear cos it's somewhat hard to explain.

Bob Marley is believed to be the second most famous person or musical icon after Michael Jackson. I thought everyone knew this, he was extremely famous...

This movie was everything in my opinion as an American. And it could not have come at a better time. For all the dysfunction in the world right now, this movie and its message was badly needed. RIP TUFF GONG!!

I was excited to see this movie. I went opening day and was given a souvenir poster for coming 😊 Two years ago, I attended Ziggy Marley concert Tribute to my Father. He performed 2 hours of his father's music. I thought the movie was good. It focused on his masterpiece album Exodus. Considering he wrote these songs in London, the album is a longing to return to Jamaica- a peaceful Jamaica with equally for the people. I have a greater appreciation of his music. He has influenced several artists including The Police.

I think the ring from his dad was symbolic to him embracing his role as the messenger.

Great review! It was a decent movie! Without me knowing much about his life I was trying to figure out what’s going on. Great acting and very touching love story !

😅Excellent review: fair and balanced, no nonsense talk. I have never heard an American expressed appreciation for the Jamaican accent, even when it’s appropriate. They always complain …. You’re quite original. One❤

I loved it I wish it had a little more storyline but it was beautifully written

True Jamaicans like myself who experienced the trauma of the 1976 and 1989 elections in Jamaica, did not want to be reminded. However, Bob was more than that experience and his life after that Album was not fully shown for the knowledge of the World

I am American Woman.I really Enjoyed the movie.I have loved his music, since I was 12 years old. My brother's friend gave me the Catch A Fire album. Now I am 63.---Everyone knows the movie us just a glimpse into Mr. Marley's life.❤

Whew I felt same as reviewer I went to cinema to watch Dune,but changed mind and went to see Onelove.Whew what a great film.As a life long Marley fan Kingsley is awesome as Bob ,all the actors are fantastic,I actually met Bob in person he came to my school in north London on tour with Johnny nash before he became a superstar,and the young Bob in the film reminded me of the session player I met ,the scene of the two jamaican warlords travel to London to beg Bob to return to Jamaica to unite the people is epic great great film.😊

but the more I watched your Bob Marley review, the more I appreciated it.

I went in with low expectations as well but was pleasantly surprised. It was GREAT!. It should have/could have been at least 2 hours "short"!

No the scene with the man on the horse is Haile Selassie. The last emperor of Ethiopia and the rastafari god. The ring represents a lion. The lion of Judea

I just bumped into your channel, it’s been a very long time since I’ve been to the movies 🍿, and prices definitely went up😂 . I had to go to see it, because I love his music…..I was like 5 years old when I first heard a little bit of his music and when I was a teenager I’ve brought a nice collection of his albums. I’ll be 47 years old soon in a couple of months, so Bob Marley was before my time. This Movie was Hollywood-ish , only reason I can say that is because I’ve watch a lot of documentary KZread on Bob Marley and the documentary was more Raw. They left out details, They didn’t cover his early music group enough, before he went solo. I’m not trying to be negative but, I believe his mother was rape by the white dude on the horse…….Jamaica got there independence in 1976 . They didn’t play his music long enough in the movie, they should have at least give you a minute long of his popular songs, to grab the viewers more. Bob Marley had kids with his wife and mistress. I’m thinking because of lawsuits they didn’t go in all like that, not even with the music. I’ll give this movie 7 out of 10. Go watch the regular Documentary.

The young man that played Bob Marley before he bacame a practicing Rasta looked so much like him - I wonder if he is related to him . Kingsley captured his mannerism 1000 percent and it was a great movie I wished they would have spent some time with his earlier years but I am glad they talked about the political unrest in Jamaica 🇯🇲 I would encourage folks to watch it - And it was nice to see black men and black women Rita and Bob working together Peace unto them both 🙏🙏🙏 🇪🇹 🇯🇲❤🖤💚

The ring was giving to him by the Ethiopian family ruling at the time it was a representation of a lion that essentially represents the teachings of his majesty emperor Rastafari. Bob Marley was the perfect person for that gift, and he embodied what that ring represented throughout his life and his legacy. Nothing to do with his biological father.

I'm not a huge fan either but I really enjoyed it and have seen it twice. I intend to go back.

It was an Amazing movie, not only did it capture his spirit very well but also his story and his story revolves around spreading the message of jah. The actual story of bob was pretty on point but to me this movie is about ras tafari and the message it has in the reggae music. Also i feel The one thing people will misunderstand is the god talk. God technically was before man, god is of no color, but to a Rasta they look the start of mankind as when our first primate species started to evolve. Which with factual evidence we knew did stem from Africa. Which is why they say the god of man to them is darker with kinkier hair and brown eyes because all of man roots back to those first humans. However god, Rasta goes even before mankind. It’s life and we are all life. I and I

I only casually know Bob Marley's music and his story, so for me, this movie was a bit hard to follow. I left the theater still not fully sure what the plot was all about. Also, the Jamacian accents and cultural references seemed very authentic from my outsiders perspective, but the result was that, for me, it was a bit hard to understand the dialect and really follow what was going on. The music was obviously great, and I enjoyed the film, but I would have done things a bit differently.

The ring was not from his biological father, the ring was from Haile Selassie, emperor of Ethiopia, who Rastas see as the head of Rastafarianism and the symbolism in the movie is that his white biological father disowned Bob, but Haile Selassie is his spiritual father.

SPOILER TAG: When -who we thought was- his father (on the horse, in the ring of fire) when his face is revealed, it is not the face of his white biological father. It is the face of The Lion Of Judah: Haile Selassie I and I Jah Rastafari Ethiopian Emperor. The ring was from Asfa Wossen, great nephew of Haile Selassie I

Thank you!

Hmmmmmmm i agree with you good movie overall and the actress who played rita was brillant

My Jamaican wife loved the movie and Kingsley Ben-Adir as Bob Marley even though she initially hated the fact that a non Jamaican was playing him…I myself who is an American really loved the acting of the entire cast.

@brandonkavery. The situation with his father is that Bob Marley's father was a white Naval captain who left his mother when he was young. He basically grew without a father figure until he became a rasta and the movement embraced him. So it was a transition of the naval officer riding off on the horse to Selassie the Emperor on the horse coming to him through the ring of fire. The ring on his represented Selassie. Father left him but he gain one through his rasta acceptance

❤❤❤

I really enjoyed the movie to be honest. The movie was just what it was supposed to be A Movie. It opens up the door for people to do their own research if you want in depth detail of his real life.

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.

The movie touch me in a way no movie has ever had taught me in order to be at piece you must love. Hold no vengeance and forgive people, because that is the only way to experience true peace and love just like him I believe true wealth is not money or trinkets It is in people and family loving one another.oh yeah not to forget I laughed cried and loveed the movie at the same time 💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾👍🏾

I honestly think it would have been a more interesting and deeper introspective watch if they chose to include his other women in this story.

No thank you..

To me, the movie had bad storytelling. It should’ve started when he was young not when he was famous you really didn’t get how he became famous on the movie.

This movie was amazing and it's a downright shame it isn't getting 5 star reviews. Rita really did steal the movie and Kingsley was easy on the eyes.

The man on the horse has levels to it. It’s meant to look just like his father throughout the movie. They showed us the picture of his dad on a horse for a reason. The silhouette looked the same. However, we find out the Ethiopian leader gave him the ring, which is what the rider is LITERALLY meant to resemble…. BUT. Throughout the movie we learn bobs real name is translated to messenger. We also learn the Rasta believe in a black god. We also know the Lion (which is pictured on the ring) has a religious meaning. I believe the man on the horse was meant to be an imagery of god, calling bob his son and to be a messenger to the people. It was a powerful moment for me as his purpose was truly revealed just before the end of his life. And just as he made it full circle to deliver the message to his people. He passed

There are a lot of Jamaicans in the supporting cast, children of some of the Wailer and children of some fellow performers to Bob.

Here correcting my post about the ring.I heard the story about the ring when I was a kid about five years old but I must have either been misinformed or I somehow did not hear the information clearly but I thought the ring was given by Haile Selassie but I was told it was Selassie’s son who had gave him the ring. And it was when Bob visited Ethiopia .Just correcting the statement.

Great artist

I am a Caribbean person but I didn't like it either. Bob came across as a hypocrite to me but was talented. More of a Peter Tosh and Joseph Hill fan but Bob was made into the icon so I get why there is a movie. I think Jamaicans will like it.

I just finished watching the movie and was very disappointed. From the opening lines that were put on the screen, l said that should have been at the end of the movie. Once, l got over the actor not looking, sounding, or dancing close to Bob Marley, l could focus on the essence of what l was viewing. The theme as l saw it was he was a unitifing force in jamaica. As a producer, Ziggy could have dived more into his childhood as a starting point than climax to what he was a great reggae artist worldwide. There was not much showing of Jamaica's beautiful landscape more of London, England, which was frustrating as he is a jamaicain icon. The whole time, you're waiting to see "The one love peace concert" with Manley and Seaga two opossing leaders of the political parties. all you got was an olding video of their backs turned for a few moments to the audience. Overall, l wanted to support this biopic of Bob as my heritage is Jamaican and see it in the theater, but coming away saddened that a better product could not have shown made to honor Bob Marley.

I love the movie!! Just accept the fact that it was just a glimpse into Mr.Marley's life.Also, there were some Jamaicans in the movie-- there were at least 2 or 3 men whose father's are well know Jamaican muscians.--- Just be happy that a movie was made.@African AmericanFan❤

I liked it but it’s set in a small time capsule so we wanted more

As much as I grew up listening to Bob Marley and I just seen the movie last month I gave the movie like at least 7.5 out of 10

the first part of your review about not hyped up about the mvoie etc, I feel like you say those things about every movie.

It was his father Ras Tafari in Ethiopia 🇪🇹, Emperor Haile Sellasie his heavily father.
