I've seen the film and my first thought is that it's full of references. But if you don't know Bob Marley well, then you might miss some important characters or things from his biography that are there. However sometimes not clearly mentioned! It's true that the young Bob Marley really looks like him. As for the rest, I'm not sure I recognize the Bob Marley I love. I saw the film in French, and I don't know if that detracts from his global impact. But in this case, I find that Tuff Gong's rough edge doesn't come through at all! They look like friendly hippies who smoke. Of course, they have the Rasta faith, but if you don't know anything about it, you're a bit lost when you see the film! My favorite scene is in London when Bob went to a Punk Concert and was placed in Police custody aftewards! What I did appreciate was the fact that the song lyrics were transcribed in French. For those who don't understand! I thought the scenes in Jamaica were pretty good, and I have no problems at all with the actors. I do regret, however, that even during the good scenes at the concerts scenes, there's Bob Marley's voice, but these are re-recordings for the film (except for the live version of No Woman No Cry in London, which is the original track).
There are some nice moments that would have deserved to be explored further! For example, Bob Marley at jet-set parties etc. The only time I thought I recognized Marley was when he's arguing with his wife Rita. There are also some anachrosinms slipped into the film which are chronologically wrong, but which happened in Bob Marley's life... I found the scene where the gunmen who shot Bob Marley comes to be absolved and forgiven by Bob Marley directly at his home ridiculous! And also when Bob rides a horse as a child with Selassie, it's just something you've seen over and over again in biopics like "Ray", with the childhood memories, etc.... I understand those who say it looks like a TV movie. But I was moved many times, and wanted to cry ... Not because of the film itself. But because I was thinking of Bob Marley ... Finally, I'm a musician, and the work involved in composing music seems just like simple a bit of fun between friends ... it doesn't really convey the impact of Bob and the Wailers, even if it's very well filmed! Secondly, I find the fact that so many scenes have been cut, especially those with Cindy Breakspeare, who lived next door to Bob in England .... It's a scandal!

But frankly, the figure of Bob and his colleagues is far more complex than the approximate 1 hour 45 minutes of the film. Finally, I'm white. And I think this is "a movie for white people (Don’t get me wrong, I’m just saying it’s made by Jamaicans, however as usual it’s a typical Hollywood movi
