Marley

I had NO IDEA Bob Marley was half white, how important his music was, what it did for Jamacia AND Zimbabwe, and how he didn't care about anything except, uniting people with love. WOW!!! We don't have any more artists moving this way in the world! It's wild to me how LOVE and MUSIC made people take REAL ACTION.I learned so much! Thank you for making this!

Great in depth analysis of Marley. Worth having.

What a great man. Just love Reggae. Bob was gone too soon

I purchased this DVD for my dad for Father's Day as I get my love for Bob Marley from him! Amazon sent me a copy of this to watch on my phone before the DVD arrived. I watched the whole three hours on my I-phone and could not put it down! The music, the back story and the commentary all keep you glued in and excited for the next chapter in Bob's story. He was a legend and so mysterious at the same time. The ending will leave you in tears with sheer admiration for the man and the music. It left me believing some people are put here for one purpose, his was to bring people together even with the short time he was given.

"Marley," the most recent documentary about the life and work of Bob Marley, is perhaps the best documentary so far about the reggae superstar and Rastafarian missionary, and an absolute must-see for all reggae fans. Interviews with Marley's family, friends and close associates provide rare insights into his life and character, not only as a world-famous entertainer and musical evangelist, but as a human being.Unfortunately, "Marley" omits one of the best radio interviews with Bob Marley, the one done by Mumia Abu-Jamal for WUHY in Philadelphia during Marley's 1979 "Survival" tour. Unlike corporate "mainstream" journalists, who recounted Marley's multiple relationships with women and sensationalized Marley's sacramental use of ganja (marijuana), Abu-Jamal focused on Marley's lyrical messages of African unity and resistance to oppression, and traced the spiritual roots of the Rastafarian movement in Marcus Garvey's back-to-Africa movement and the culture of the Maroons, Jamaican slaves who fled the plantations and established an independent society in the mountains.Although it is always saddening to be reminded of the tragic end to Bob Marley's too-short life, perhaps the most disturbing moment in the film occurs when Rita Marley mentions that the cancer in Bob's foot developed AFTER SOMEONE STEPPED ON HIS FOOT WITH A SPIKED BOOT during a soccer game. This suggests that, rather than merely succumbing to a deadly combination of genetic and environmental factors, Bob Marley may actually have been murdered. Considering the previous attempt on his life, and the murderous history of the CIA and American imperialism, this is horrifying but should hardly be surprising. As Marley himself said (in "Redemption Song"), "How long shall they kill our prophets while we stand aside and look?"

What else can really be said about this?? I don't even write very many music or movie reviews (even if I love a film), but this was simply so magnificent I felt compelled to speak on it. Seriously, I'm not gonna make a point to go into some long drawn out review b/c, others truly have summed up far more succulently everything I could say about this. But best believe if you're a Bob fan this is truly a MUST SEE! Heck, even if you don't know much about him and his music you NEED to learn yourself up on this and watch. I actually didn't realize there was a documentary out for at least a full week after its initial release, though ironically I had been listening to (what I later put together as) the OST. And let me tell you, they truly nailed the musical experience in this one (as others have stated)! It was absolutely so enlightening to get such a deep insight on how some of the songs had so much more of a powerful meaning! Not to give anything away, but the segment on his earlier years and the song "Cornerstone" was particularly deep and awesome b/c, the true meaning of it was so much more mind-blowingly different than what I had ever imagined that song was! And that's just one example out of many...I'm dead for real, whether you're a Marley fan, a fan of peace, love, and life--WHATEVER--you simply NEED to watch this!

Everything was good

HIS CELEBRATION IS LIKE THE CLEAN AIR IN YOUR LUNGS, THE CLEAN BLOOD IN YOUR HEART. THIS DVD IS A FIVE STAR, BUT MR. BOB MARLEY IS FEELING EVERY STAR IN THE SKY, DAY AND NIGHT, HE IS A FEELING, HE IS A NATURAL MYSTIC!

Was Bob Marleys Leben und Beziehungen angeht, umfangreich und interessant erzählt/gemacht.

個人的にはボブの映画の中で、最高に響く映画です。初めてみたのは、2012年ころ劇場だった記憶がありますが当時も今も311後の日本人が見るべき映画だとも痛感しました。

Trotz alter Technik sehr gute Soundwiedergabe!

Tres bon doc

Ob man sich für Reggae interessiert oder einfach gerne Dokus und Biopics schaut, dieser Film ist ein Muss. Als OmU erzählt er mit teils unveröffentlichten Bildern und vielen Interviews mit Freunden:innen, Verwandten und Kollegen das Leben von Bob Marley von seinen Kindertagen bis zu seinem frühen Tod. Er war zuletzt der wohl einflussreichste Musiker der Welt, spielte zur Einführung der ersten unabhängigen Regierung von Simbabwe vor Würdenträgern aus aller Welt und sein Song Get Up, Stand Up (Stand Up For Your Right) ist seine Botschaft. Ohne zu Spoilern, auch Deutschland spielte eine - mir unbekannte - kurze, aber spezielle Rolle in seinem Leben. 5 Sterne und eine volle Kaufempfehlung.
