Movie Review – Bob Marley: One Love

This movie offers a glimpse into the life and legacy of the iconic reggae legend Bob Marley. I’m a casual fan – meaning I like his music but I rarely remember to look his music up in my leisure time – so it was nice to know a little more about where he gets his spirit through this movie.

The movie succeeds in capturing the essence of Bob Marley’s philosophy, emphasizing unity and understanding among people. The powerful music becomes the backbone of the film, effectively conveying his messages of social justice, peace, love, and freedom. The soundtrack, featuring Marley’s classic hits, enhances the viewing experience and immerses the audience in the world of his soul-stirring melodies.

However, the film faces some challenges, particularly in its execution. The conversations were hard to follow without subtitles, making it hard to grasp the depth of the conversations fully. The narrative seems choppy at t imes, making the stories challenging to follow and feeling invested in the stories and characters.

Despite these shortcomings, I will give credit to the message it sends and the spirit of Bob Marley. It successfully delivers a positive and uplifting message, highlighting Marley’s enduring impact on the world through his music and advocacy for peace. For casual fans, it offers a taste of Marley’s life and philosophy, but subtitles might be a welcome addition for a smoother viewing experience.

Grade: C+

About The Peetimes: I will be honest, it’s hard to do Peetimes for this movie. It’s a bit choppy, and the conversations are hard to follow. I managed to find two Peetimes. I hope that’s sufficient for the fans.

This is a great app. I wish more people would support it

This app provides info about movies, reviews, ratings from people who have seen it before and after viewing. It has links to info about the movies. It let’s you know when there will be a lull in the action and how long it will last. If you want to know what happens during that time, you can check the brief synopsis (you have to click a link, so no accidental spoilers). It has a timer you can set (silent) to alert you to a break. It also tells you whether there is anything extra during or after the credits. It’s really a wonderful app. I’ve subscribed for a couple of years to support the developers, but I noticed some of the links to provide feedback didn’t seem to work today. They also made it free, with voluntary donations to see the pee-times. If you haven’t tried it, I encourage you to do so, and subscribe if you like it. I really hope the app is supported so it can continue to be maintained!

Developers note: RunPee doesn’t make much money but it supports itself nicely. Donations are appreciated, but not required. We’ll add as many movies to the database as we can until there are no more movie theaters.
