Ignore the critics, it's an amazing biopic
17 February 2024
I don't care what these critics have to say about Bob Marley: One Love, this biopic is tremendously entertaining. It sounds to me as if these critics aren't really that familiar with Marley or what he was about and how his music had such a positive impact on people globally, though they pretend that they are such experts. His family was involved in making this film and they should know him better than anyone. Both Kingsley Ben-Adir and Lashana Lynch were amazing in their roles. Kingsley Ben-Adir encapsulated Marley to the letter. It hit the right notes with Marley's relationship with his wife Rita and his passion for music and his people. Plus, the weight he carried being an iconic music figure to most Jamaican people, and an irritant to those who saw him as sort of a sellout. Go see the film for yourself because critics would lead you to believe this film is subpar and it isn't. It introduces a younger generation to Marley and his music, and it reintroduces him to those who experienced his personal greatness and his music first-hand. I thoroughly enjoyed this film, and when I got home, I popped on some Marley tunes.
