I was interested to watch this film. Bob Marley was a legendary singer and wonderful soul. He touched a lot of people with his music. I also learned that he had quite a tumultuous life and was a great peaceful soul who tried to create peace. He likely could have lived in style overseas but instead chose to do good for Jamaica.
This film was hard to follow for most of its run. The impersonated Jamaican accents did not land easily and made it confusing to decipher what exactly was being said. Also a very disjointed film. One moment we were during a political struggle and next we see a young Marley, the audience had to assume as there is no date or context given. This proved confusing. Also the jumping back and forth meant the film was all over the place. I personally would have preferred a deeper dive into Marley, his upbringing and how he became the legend he was. But personal opinion aside, I think a little more structure, direction and steady pacing might have conveyed a much better and more meaningful film about such a legend.
