We see how Bob expresses unity and love through his music as he quickly becomes a worldwide phenomenon. As a music lover, and someone who didn\u2019t know too much about Bob Marley, I really enjoyed watching this film. I like the pace and how director Reinaldo Marcus Green tells this compelling story through outstanding cinematography, an exceptional cast and sincere storytelling.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"alignleft size-medium is-resized\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"300\" height=\"198\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.kidsfirst.org\/kidsfirstnews\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/Bobm.e.webp?resize=300%2C198&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-11771\" style=\"width:220px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.kidsfirst.org\/kidsfirstnews\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/Bobm.e.webp?resize=300%2C198&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.kidsfirst.org\/kidsfirstnews\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/Bobm.e.webp?resize=768%2C508&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.kidsfirst.org\/kidsfirstnews\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/Bobm.e.webp?w=942&amp;ssl=1 942w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p>The story begins in 1976, late in Bob Marley&#8217;s life, but arguably the most important time of his career. While Bob loves Jamaica he realizes he must leave to protect himself and his family. He goes to London to find the right sound for his next album. Then \u201cExodus,&#8221; one of the most important albums of the 20th century, was born. The rest of the film demonstrates many of the obstacles Bob Marley had to overcome \u2013 finding purpose, struggling with confidence, and maintaining a healthy relationship with his wife.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Kingsley Ben-Adir steals the show. He\u2019s extremely believable and delivers an incredible performance. From his body language to the way he speaks, he really becomes Bob Marley on the big screen. Lashana Lynch as Rita Marlee, Bob\u2019s wife, gives another incredible performance. She plays Rita with such confidence \u2013 together, their relationship is one of this film&#8217;s strongest aspects. Kudos to them and to all the actors involved; their accents are on point, although a little difficult to understand at times. Regarding the story itself, I don\u2019t think this film fully pays tribute to the icon that Bob Marley truly is. The film\u00a0<em>touches<\/em>\u00a0on how his music has united nations and delivers powerful messages of freedom, peace and bringing people together. However, Bob Marley didn\u2019t only change music forever; he truly did change the world. I wish the writers would have delved deeper into the impact Bob Marley made on others.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"alignright size-medium is-resized\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"300\" height=\"169\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.kidsfirst.org\/kidsfirstnews\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/bobm.h.webp?resize=300%2C169&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-11769\" style=\"width:220px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.kidsfirst.org\/kidsfirstnews\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/bobm.h.webp?resize=300%2C169&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.kidsfirst.org\/kidsfirstnews\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/bobm.h.webp?resize=1024%2C577&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.kidsfirst.org\/kidsfirstnews\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/bobm.h.webp?resize=768%2C433&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.kidsfirst.org\/kidsfirstnews\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/bobm.h.webp?w=1296&amp;ssl=1 1296w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p>The message of this film is that people always face adversity but we can always find ways to overcome those hard times, and music is the greatest power to feel well and unite us.

I really like this film because it is educational, yet thrilling at the same time, and caused me to positively change my view of the world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Bob\u00a0Marley:\u00a0One\u00a0Love<\/em>\u00a0is an honest and revealing documentary about the life of\u00a0Bob\u00a0Marley. He is a father, husband and a trusted friend who wants nothing more than\u00a0love\u00a0and world peace to be spread across the nation. The Jamaican singer was determined to bring his people together through music, despite the ongoing war and conflict.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A huge standout in this film is the directing by Reinaldo Marcus Green who created a nostalgic, sentimental, yet uncomfortable feeling to this documentary from the start, foreshadowing the outcome of the film. He focuses on different characters in different scenes and uses camera angles that help viewers to pick up on specific details, particularly, the shots of\u00a0Marley\u2019s first concert in Jamaica. <\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"alignleft size-medium is-resized\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.kidsfirst.org\/kidsfirstnews\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/bobm.i.webp?resize=300%2C200&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-11768\" style=\"width:220px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.kidsfirst.org\/kidsfirstnews\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/bobm.i.webp?resize=300%2C200&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.kidsfirst.org\/kidsfirstnews\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/bobm.i.webp?resize=1024%2C683&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.kidsfirst.org\/kidsfirstnews\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/bobm.i.webp?resize=768%2C512&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.kidsfirst.org\/kidsfirstnews\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/bobm.i.webp?w=1200&amp;ssl=1 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p>There are so many highlighted parts that help the audience to unravel this difficult topic of having hope in even the most hopeless of times. Some of the shots zoom in on\u00a0Marley\u00a0moving in slow-motion. Similarly, this is also done with the crowd that is watching him, which helps viewers understand just how impactful his music really is. All of the cinematography and scenery in this movie is beautiful. Each location shown is exquisitely shot. France, London, and all the other European locations have a very local feel, yet there is also the excitement of discovering a new place, which is exactly what those in the film are doing. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Most importantly, the lens that Jamaica is shown through fits the tone and mood of this documentary perfectly. I felt that I was able to understand what it looked like in the 1970s and, through shots of the beaches, the eye-catching colors and the abundance of culture, I was able to partially understand what it must have felt like during that time. Lastly, what piques this film&#8217;s enjoyability the most for me is the message told throughout the movie.\u00a0Bob\u00a0Marley\u2019s entire purpose for creating his music was to unite his people, and bring peace to the battling leaders of Jamaica. He wanted nothing more than for everyone to come together peacefully. <\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"alignright size-medium is-resized\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.kidsfirst.org\/kidsfirstnews\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/bobm.c.jpg?resize=300%2C200&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-11763\" style=\"width:220px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.kidsfirst.org\/kidsfirstnews\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/bobm.c.jpg?resize=300%2C200&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.kidsfirst.org\/kidsfirstnews\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/bobm.c.jpg?resize=768%2C512&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.kidsfirst.org\/kidsfirstnews\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/bobm.c.jpg?w=800&amp;ssl=1 800w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p>The message of fighting for what you believe in \u2013 no matter the risks \u2013 and living your life to the absolute fullest is delivered beautifully, and reinforced throughout the entire film. Kingsley Ben-Adir who plays\u00a0Marley\u00a0is outstanding; his ability to showcase these characteristics of\u00a0Marley\u00a0does not go unnoticed. He brings this legendary human being to life, allowing the world to understand\u00a0Bob\u00a0Marley\u00a0for all that he was and all that he stood for.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The message of\u00a0<em>Bob\u00a0Marley:\u00a0One\u00a0Love<\/em>\u00a0is that in this life, peace and\u00a0love\u00a0will always bring you the most happiness and win in the end.

We see\u00a0Bob\u00a0Marley\u00a0at the beginning, living a normal life, playing soccer and making music with his friends. However, this was a time of a lot of violence in Jamaica and Barley and his wife both experienced it firsthand.\u00a0Bob\u00a0Marley\u00a0was inspired by the violence to pursue his music career and traveled to London to start to produce his music there.
