Marley
This
documentary is astounding. It follows the life of the great Bob Marley. What i
loved about this film was the integration of live clips, interviews and actual
film so smoothly. The editing was really a strong point of this film. You have
obviously a great story to work with and they did everything they could with
it. Marley changed the world with his music and this film will keep his legacy
alive.
The live
performances in the film were my favorite part. To see Marleys emotions not
through an actor is really amazing, the way he sings and dances and speaks can
not be replicated by an actor. The film starts with Marley as a child in his
homeland of Jamaica, Trenchtown. It was extremely poor, extremely beautiful and
Marley was one of a kind. He wasnt liked and he was very different than many of
the other children there. He always had great words to be spoken says his
grandmother, and he always had a passion for his music.
I feel as
though Kevin Macdonald (director) did most astonishingly with his style. I have
never really seen anything like this film for many reasons. He so smoothly
integrated Marleys voice just speaking, into live concerts into his relatives
and children speaking of him. The best part was having the stories told by the
people who actually spent the most time with him. Hearing stories from his
daughters and sons, his band mates and his best friends gave you a very
realistic idea of Marleys life, the man who changed music. I give this 4.5 out
of 5 stars, absolutely fascinating and captivating, you need to see this.
Thanks, Chris. I heard a lot about this film, and want to see it. Watch your grammar, and make sure to focus on cinematic components in more depth.
