Marley Film Review The life and times of Bob Marley could be an appropriate description for the documentary entitled "Marley". Marley covers the journey of Robert "Bob" Marley, a popular Reggae Singer/ Songwriter from the Sixties to the Eighties. The documentary encompasses Bob Marley's humble beginnings as well as his rise to fame. Bob Marley plays himself, as does his son Ziggy, Rita and Cedella Marley. What made Bob such an Iconic figure was his way of forward thinking, his positivity for Unity and Love. The social, cultural and political issues of the times were a major contributing factor to the formulation and creation of Bob's music and eventual legacy. The incorporation of black and white footage, as well as sepia tones help to recreate Bob Marley's story. The dramatic structure of the documentary effectively captures the viewers' attention. The flashbacks and rough grain film stock give you a sense of the struggle at that time. Bob preached Rastafarianism, love, acceptance and unity he was legendary in his thinking, but his music, his music was revolutionary in the most peaceful way. The vibrations of the thoughts behind the words are truly what made Bob Marley's music ahead of its time. He was so aware and so keen to the illusions that were marketed to the world and he changed that by thinking outside of the box. Bob, like Bruce Lee had such a high vibrational frequency that they raised the energy of all around them. Bruce a master of the martial arts used his talents and skills to spread awareness like Bob. Bob even got shot and performed injured. He made a statement along the lines that evil doesn't take a day off and neither should the righteous. Bob Marley like Michael Jackson created very powerful, soulful and healing music. It wasn't about being commercial, it was about being pure. Bob was born to a Caucasian father and an African American mother. Bob and his friends would often go to sleep hungry because they were so poor. Bob Marley was not rich as most would think, his salary was similar to minimum wage, but he never gave up the fight. He was the light in a world of darkness. Humble, quiet and shy were some of the characteristics friends and family remembered of Bob. On and ending note, Bob did so much with so little and changed the fabric of time with his music, forever to be immortalized on the Earth plane. A true icon, a righteous soul fighting the good fight; that was Marley.

I was 15 when Bob died and had heard several of his songs like most people but I never really listened to him...Nor did I know anything about him. This documentary changed all of that and I happily listen to his really groovy music often. What a great musician! Despite his flaws, what a great man! How did I miss this guy? He got little attention in the Southeast I suppose because he is the wrong color for a lot of people around here...(sigh) The documentary starts kind of slow but it picks up speed quickly and fills you in on a lot of fascinating info on Jamaincan culture and the young Marley climbing out of abject poverty and achieving an exceptional level of greatness. At the end I found myself (and still do days later) dealing with a sense of loss not only because of his death at 36 over 30 years ago but because I never knew the guy and I find that I really like what he was doing and what the doc and his music have told me about him. I'm very happy I watched this documentary and do recommend it to everyone.

Being a big fan of Bob Marley and very knowledgeable of the story. I was not a fan of this work. I felt like I understood the man through his music and writings much differently than this piece leads one to believe. While there is some original footage of his half-sister and cousin in here which I admit was nice it was the wrong placement and the wrong focus of the bigger storyline. I had viewed many interviews through the times and smaller documentary materials, but this one was much different. It lacked a story line that I felt ran with the time line of the man and his passions. I truly would have liked to see more of a story that gave a viewer a better understanding to his passion. A story that had a better frame work of the meaning behind his music and what his passion came from. The highlights for me was the different interviews which were unique and many of the points the interviewer had people discussing. There are some real classic moments here, but then again they don't work together to illuminate the man into a story that I feel is more central to his life. If you were to compare the book "Catch a Fire" and this movie "Marley" you would find yourself scratching your head. While a book is always looked at as the better version to a movie in the narrative world it might seem in non-fiction it would lend itself to be more truthful in the documentary, I find that not to be the case in this situation. Not the case at all in how Rasta is depicted and how the greater part of his career was examined. Decent movie, but bad depiction and wish it could have been produced differently.

The first official documentary featuring members of the Marley family, who reflect on the life of Bob Marley. A prophet to some and a lyrical icon who left the earth leaving a significant mark in musical history. Marley is a beautifully crafted piece of work based on the late Jamaican star. The film is aimed at his biggest fans as well as those with little knowledge of his life. (ME) Raised in the slum's of Kingston, Jamaica, Bob Marley lived life an only child with his mother fending for food and water. Bob's life shows an affect for disaster with little knowledge of his father and any appearance being nothing short of a myth. Just like Bob, friends and numerous characters from the Kingston area are introduced in the film, expressing their upbringing in poverty stricken Jamaica. We learn of the belief in "Rhasta Fari". A god worshiped by certain Jamaicans. Bob Marley describes him as the equivalent to Jesus. "White people have Jesus, we have Rhasta Fari". A belief which entitles them to smoke a ridiculous amount of weed each day. The concept of the documentary tells a tale of comedy, happiness and depression as ones life is told through those who grew up with, and loved him most. His struggle for success is told through friends and numerous members of The Wailers. How reggae was founded through a single chord? how Bob Marley eventually left Jamaica for America to expand his ideas in music. A story of ambition and tragedy, relating to the shooting of Bob Marley and certain members of The Wailers. How Bob Marley was begged to revive Jamaica's government torn gang war, bringing a country together through his music. Vital members of the Marley family are heard for the first time in this cinematic masterpiece. Son of Bob, Ziggy Marley tells of his remembrance, as were are shown a shocking resemblance to the late singer. Rita Marley, his first and last love tells the story of how she stayed with Bob, despite his sexual antics. A revealing documentary of the Jamaican superstar, seen through the eyes of members of the music industry as well as a brilliant cast of Kingston locals who simply never left the scene of Bob Marley's growing up. Marley reveals a variety of live performances, showing Bob Marley at his best and a typically beautiful soundtrack, which mingles with every scene. Fans and people today know of the ending that awaited Bob Marley. This documentary is a terrific celebration towards a musical genius, who just like many icons, changed parts of the world, politically and musically. Overall, Marley is terrifically original, telling a story of a man with a history guaranteed to make you laugh and cry. A film for fans of all ages to enjoy.

This documentary is directed by Kevin Macdonald (Last King of Scotland) about the iconic Bob Marley. It has a lot great music, and educational for the everyday casual fans. I'm sure their most ardent fans know all these stories. At 144 minutes, it is quite long for most people. It flows well especially the last half. Lots of things start to happen. One thing I do have to warn people. It's necessary to get used to the tough Jamaican accent. It could get difficult to understand. There was a lot of talking heads interviews. But in the end, the music is great, and the history is enlightening.
