Bob Marley One Love

This afternoon I went to the Cineplex Cinema South Bank to see the movie Bob Marley Pne Love. It's 1976 with Jamaica at political conflcit with shootings happening Jamaican performer Bob marley ( Kingsley Ben Adir) annouces at an press confrence that he will be performing at an concert promoting peace among the political factions and Bob, his wife Rita (Lashana Lynch) and some of his band members The Wailers are shot but survive by assilants while they preparing the concert and they do the concert but feeling sadded that his fellow countrymen are wanting to kill him and His wife Bob urges his wife and the children to go to America to stay with his mother as well as he and the Wailers go to London. It is in London that Bob and his band are working on an album that would be Exodus and would become an great success but then issues are happening and then Chris Blackwell (james Norton) along with Rita are concern with the toenail infection which was to be an rear cancer and then it gets interesting. It is FANTASTIC, BRILLIANT and SUPERB with FANTASTIC acting by Kinglsey Ben Adir, Lashana Lynch, James Norton, Tosin Cole and Aston Barrett Jr son of the Wailers member Aston "Family Man" Barrett. It is directed by Reinaldo Marcus Green and among the producers are Bob Marley's widow Rita and 2 of his children Ziggy and Cedella. It is 43 years since the passing of Bob Marley but the great music he made still endures to this day and is still appreciated after all these years as I say great music never dies it gets better with time. I am giving this 4 and an half stars as it's in the shops now so do yourselves an favour and SEE IT which you will be impressed and amazed.
