There’s nothing else to see obviously. Great timing
It’s about, but is it by?
Maybe they should set up a huge outdoor screen in Israel and Ukrain and just play it!!
Can someone share how good the audio is on this?
Ngl looks shite
Quoting Wailers’ lead guitarist Al Anderson at length from Gary Steckles’ *Bob Marley: A Life* (2008):
“I’d noticed Bob’s strange behavior pretty early on. After rehearsals he would start frantically cleaning up the mess. We thought he was obsessive-compulsive or something at first. He would just pick everything up and put it all in a garbage can, trying to get it as full as he could. But the weird thing was, it was always a different garbage can. I don’t know where he kept getting them. Sometimes it was an old crate or something, but there was always someplace waiting for the garbage. Then one night the Wailers were out pretty late in Kingston. Bob stayed home, said he wasn’t feeling so hot. Somehow we ended up in a different neighborhood than normal, drinking, and we get a little turned around. And we see this hunched over guy shuffling down the street throwing garbage everywhere. He walks past us like he didn’t even know us – but it was Bob! And he was carrying the trash can from earlier, about half full. And there’s all our garbage all over the streets of Rae Town. We were like “Was that really Bob?” So the next time he ducked out, we followed him. Sure enough it was him, throwing trash everywhere. Next day we asked him about it. At first he denied it, but then he basically flipped out. He threatened to leave the band. After that we just ignored it. We had to. The first time we went on tour, we’re loading the van with our instruments, clothes, booze… and here comes Bob hauling a huge bag of garbage. We didn’t really know what to do. We tried to talk him out of it but he started getting aggressive. In the end we had to strap instruments to the roof and throw the garbage in the back. Along the way Bob made us stop so he could throw garbage onto the streets. After this we just had to let him do it. I mean who were the Wailers without Bob Marley? I don’t know what his problem was. Maybe he wanted the world to be an uglier place. He was kind of dark like that.”
Walk Hard should have probably put this specific formula to bed. But still this is an aggressively okay movie that provides a nice way to spend an evening with the best of Marley’s music.
Does he stand and think about his whole life before performing? You bet your ass he does.
Still … it’s fine. Looking forward to seeing Kingsley cast in something good at some point.
It was so hard to understand their accent but great movie.
Just as Bob would’ve wanted it <3
I enjoyed it but was a bit miffed how they totally ignored the contributions of Peter Tosh and Family Man Barrett. Maybe the fact that they spent years in court fighting over writing credits and royalties explains it. Still, I thought it was a good rendition of the important parts of his life that could appeal to the masses. Cramming it into 90 min was quite the achievement.
