Bob Marley: One Love offers viewers and fans an intimate and fascinating look at the life of legendary reggae icon Bob Marley. Directed by the talented Reinaldo Marcus Green, this biographical musical drama not only shows the powerful story of Marley, but also explores the revolutionary music that continues to resonate with generations, I am a fan of Bob Marley, although I was not born when this man was alive but every time you listen his music feel like you miss him. He was born on a small island and managed to inspire people from all over the world with his music. I think everyone at least knows one Bob Marley song and I would like this movie to pay tribute to his message and idea, it might be a dangerous trip to make this biopic, several going around and one was already a disaster for the critics, lets see how this one pays out.

In June 2018 Paramount Pictures announced the project, with Ziggy Marley, Bob Marley's eldest son, producing. After an extensive search, Kingsley Ben-Adir took on the lead role in February 2022, production began in December of that year in London and concluded in April 2023. The movie, officially titled “Bob Marley: One Love,” was presented to the public by producer Ziggy Marley at CinemaCon.

In the past I have seen how family members of artist specially actors and musicians participate in documentaries and movies that refer to their relatives to make sure what is shown on this productions do not distort the truth about the life and legacy of their relatives, in this case Bob Marley, it is my hope that it is the case and Ziggy Marley been part of the production of this movie means we can get a story as close as possible to what happen during those years.

Reinaldo Marcus Green is an American director, producer and writer born in the Bronx, New York, has made his mark in the movie industry with a diverse portfolio. Before Bob Marley: One Love, Green gained attention with his first short movies, including Stone Cars and Stop, inspired by the tragic murder of Trayvon Martin.

Green's feature debut, Monsters and Men (2018), earned him a Special Award at the Sundance movie Festival. His next project, Joe Bell (2020), featured an all star cast including Mark Wahlberg, Connie Britton and Maxwell Jenkins. Green also ventured into television, directing three episodes of the British crime drama Top Boy for its third season, which premiered in 2019.

He also directed the biography King Richard, starring Will Smith as the father of Venus and Serena Williams. His most recent project, the HBO miniseries We Own This City, adapted from the book of the same name by Justin Fenton, demonstrates how this men seem to have a special tallent when it comes to direct stories of men who for unfortunate reasons in some cases went through some struggle and overcome but sadly were taken away after, its the case of Trayvon Martin, King Richard and now Bob Marley.

The moviecast includes Kingsley Ben-Adir, Lashana Lynch and Jesse Cilio. Kingsley Ben-Adir, in the role of Bob Marley, who has a successful career, mostly people recognize him for his role as Malcolm X but very recent enter Marvel Universe in the not so popular TV series Secret Invasion, in an interview with The Guardian, the actor said that he had to work hard to perfect his Jamaican accent and patois considering in the UK there are parts that already have a large Jamican influence, he also learned to sing and play guitar for this role, apparently he is who sings throughout the entire movie, not sure how much AI would be use to mimic Marley's voice.

Lashana Lynch, who plays the role of Rita Marley, has left her mark with her performance in the series Still Star-Crossed, but had the same luck as Kingsley with little sucess on the Marvel Universe with movies like The Marvels and Captain Marvel, not that her performance was bad on this two movies but the movies themself didn't help to the cause, she had a strong role on the movie The Woman King as Izogie that benefits more to her acting skills. Jesse Cilio, playing Bob Marley's father, previously starred in Domino, Pure Heroin and The Story of Your Life.

From what I could search online this might be the first colaboration between some of this actors, they all have similar roles to what they will perform on Bob Marley: One Love so it all seem to make sense and can be the stellar cast fitted, as the director; to this production.

Bob Marley: One Love is a biographical film; explores into the message of love, unity and resistance that Marley always transmitted, we will see many aspects of his life probably from starting his carrer and all the way to the top when many started to consider him an icon, a rockstart and a threat, most men in life who can carry a strong message and heard by many become a threat to the system, the corrupt system we live in today, all he was spreading was a message of love, acceptance and trying to unite the people, his people but its alwasys the power of those at the top either on the streets as gang members or the govermetns politicians try to get rid of this messenger, on the trailer you can see a scene that represents an assassination attempt against Marley and I hope they give enough context to what happen, the reasons why it happen, there is also part of his historic performance at the One Love Peace Concert in Kingston, Jamaica.

This is all planets align and might be the movie that brings satisfaction to viewers with a great director for this job, a great cast with enough experience on similar roles plus the production of a member of the Marley Family, anyone who have listen to Bob Marley music cant stop once you start, its very often to sign when you are on a long road trip or alone doing certain task, there is something to it that you can keep repeating the lyrics and the song basically never ends, there are certain decades that if possible I would love to be born during those times, the 70s, 80s, were some of the best times for iconic music heroes like Bob Marley, it is my hope that this could be one of the best movies of 2024 for many reasons, Bob Marley music, message, legacy and cool down the heated social media world that we life in today, some more unity very well needed.
