#movie #bobmarley #onelove
As a Jamaican who just saw the movie today . KINGSLEY DID AN EXCELLENT JOB!!! He mastered patois . Lashana was excellent at playing Rita
Mastered is a reach 😂😂
He really did great. I saw it today. Powerful. I cried after watching it. People cried. Omg. Some were having discussions after the film. Really touching.
It really touched me big style. He nailed it.
He's too late for a Oscar nod
Troll 😂
Just saw the movie.
It was riveting.
I cried from time to time.
They captured the sense of the time and aura of Bob Marley very much.
The symbolisms were riveting for those who read them from the soul level.
I loved it.
The actors did it justice.
Well done.
Yeah, I bet you did 😅
Yep - I cried as well at the ending. Well done.
I was moved when he performed "War" on stage. The words were so riveting.
@@hearthrob300oh God me too
Absolutely amazing movie, only gripe not long enough!
Ziggy your dad is up in heaven being proud of you
Heaven is for Jesus Christ following
They didn't even let his sons audition!!! What are you talking about?!?!
Took my kids last night. We danced in our seats 💺, cried 😢, and just felt so proud to have had such a beautiful humble prophet of our time. It was a beautiful family film. Yes, the message was understood. Thank you to all the Marley’s 🙏 🖤 ❤️ 💛 💚 Jah Bless
I'm glad it wasn't just me dancing in my seat, lol.
Agree with everything you said
Kingsley totally transformed for the role. It’s insane how he captured it and IRL I don’t even recognize him
True
Samething I was thing.
Straight outta YARD! our hero. ONE LOVE to tha world.❤🇯🇲🇬🇭
🇪🇹
Just saw the film. It was awesome! Kingsley, before I saw the film I was a little skeptical about you, but you nailed it! You did an excellent job, I was really impressed!
He did
He was impeccable!
Kingsley did an great Job Portraying Bob Marley, everyobe did great, thank you Ziggy Marley for reminding the World who your Dad was. A man who wanted peace, love, and Unity for the world ❤️🇯🇲
Just saw the movie. Biblical. I love how they showed his temper and bit of loss of control, but he was truly humbled, enlightened being in the end. To say his life was for others not him, is just another level of godlike. . What a legend.
Facial expressions, patois, everything was really really well put together
Rita Marley is an angel and an icon in her own right. I remember visiting her home at Aburi in Ghana with my friends from school. A lots of memories from that visit. ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Kingsley & lashana both did an amazing job as actor and actress. They both embodied the people they were emulating...
Lashana Lynch is such a darling ❤🎉
You can say that again.
My Jamaican family and I are on our way to see the movie 🎬 We are so excited and very🎉😂Proud of Mrs. Rita Marley, Ziggy, and the Marley family, and the phenomenal Actors...Blessings to Al from Washington DCl🎉 Dr. Claudine
Me and my Jamaican family watched the movie last night mon; not good at all unfortunately.
@@WilliamNeish What makes it so bad? I wanted to go see it, but everyone I've seen has been saying it's bad and hasn't lived up to expectations
@@darkworld6191 I thought Kingsley did a good job but the amount of detail on Bob Marley’s life was really shallow and didn’t spend enough time showing the audience who Marley really was and it left out some key details about his life and too much time on Rita. Also, not enough of his music was on display in the movie. In a way the movie felt rushed.
@WilliamNeish Well so much for the "Not Good Movie" comment. Though you have the right to your point of view. The majority spoke and will continue to show up in massive number GLOBALLY for months to come to support Bob's biopic🎉 It is currently the #1 movie 🎬 Globally 🎉Blessings to All! Dr. Claudine
@@lornabeckford5419 my comment was based on my opinion and nothing else; if people find joy in the movie that’s a beautiful thing! However, it doesn’t diminish my opinion or anyone else’s.
I saw it today. It was incredible. I laughed and cried. So powerful. I saw people crying and singing too. Wow. Bob is an icon. Great cast.
Saw the movie earlier and it was so captivating that I did not want it to end! Getting a sense of Bob's raw emotional state while battling through adversity was heartfelt. It was a reminder that no matter how big the world sees you, we are all just humans trying to navigate the roadblocks of life. Additionally, learning just how important Rita was in his life was emotionally stimulating as God really does provide people with living angels. Every good man needs an even better woman backing him. This is a fact! Blessings to Bob and Rita. May Bob rest in love and peace 🇺🇸 🇯🇲
Caribbean people please see and note that you don't have to "water down" your accent or speak in an American one to be understood. Well spoken, Ziggy Marley. They understand us just fine. No more shame. Can't wait to see the movie ❤ Ziggy you sang it years ago, "Love is my religion". Happy love month.
I APPROVE THIS MESSAGE
I needed this in Puerto Rican and Dominican born and raised in PR. We moved to the U.S. in 2007 when I was 5 years old. I came here speaking only Spanish not understanding a lick of English. So growing up in an all white school I was bullied so much about being color brown and having an accent and also just my hair being different texture from theirs. As I grew up I started getting better at hiding my accent and now I’m 22 years old I for some reason refuse to talk Spanish in public even with my own people at times. Sometimes I have to water it down to not get the attention either. This is so refreshing to hear because I’ve been thinking about this for so long but I feel like there’s people that can’t relate to me. I appreciate this♥️🙏🏽
I love accent not always understand but I feel love 😊 im hungarian
Facts
Therapy would help @@rubycarela2140
He look like his dad soo much wow❤
Ziggy, you did it. Wonderful film. Acting is excellent. The lead actor who played Bob morphed in to him as during the movie I had to remind myself that’s not Bob that’s the actor. His accent was a little off during one scene where his Trini accent was coming through. All in all, a very good film, Ziggy, your dad would be proud. The lady who played Rita was excellent. Not enough can be said about her performance, you could feel the compassion and empathy for Rita through her performance. Rita Marley is such a strong woman. Dealing with all of that unfortunately took its toll on her with her stroke, and through the performance of the young lady, you could clearly see why. Very good film. Thank you Ziggy. The metaphorical scenes of the young Bob are excellent etc.
Trini accent? 😂😂😂 you mean his British accent
@@daniellereid131lol you could be right, but it sounded to me like a Trini accent was coming through, but you're probably right. In any case it was very well done.
Well the actors mother is from Trinidad, so it could have been the Trini you were hearing.
Kingsley deserves an Oscar for this performance it was amazing and it was a good film 💜🙏🏾 Thank you Ziggy
This movie is captivating. At minimum, an Academy nomination, at best an Academy win
I am Puerto Rican and I’ve been a fan of Bob Marley since I can remember. The film and actors are AMAZING!!!!!! You must see it! ✌🏽 🇯🇲♥️
❤️👍 where can I see it please thank you ❤️
I love that they did this because this can teach our younger generation who Bob Marley was . My son who is 10 is well aware because we love Bob in our house ! Plus my husband is African and they love him!
Can’t wait to see this movie this weekend ❤
Ziggy seems so intelligent and Bob lives on through him
Bob Marley One Love was a great film, my theatre was packed and people singing the songs and I learned so much about the life of Bob Marley and his life surrounding his music.
We get to see his relationship with his Wife and so much more, it's worth watching on the big screen and good enough to see twice! It is the perfect movie for Black History Month!
I just came back from watching the movie, and I absolutely loved it!! it was so amazing and all the actors played their part Amazing. I loved it so so much! Love you bob!!!❤️♥️💕
❤️💛💚🖤
I don’t know Bob, how to play music, dance, or talk patios. Great, your the man for the job LOOOOL
😂😂😂😂😂
And yet he killed the roll...it was destiny
Hahahahahahah
Ziggy and team, you guys executed this movie! It was amazing!
Being a Jamaica. Is everything ❤❤❤❤❤ Bob Marley to the world❤❤❤
His music, message and life is a spiritual experience. Loved the movie
This movie was amazing! They did a fantastic job! I cried, I sang, I was moved. Go see this movie even if you aren’t a Bob Marley fan. The message is crystal clear. One Love!
The movie was great ! The acting was impeccable. The songs brought me back to that happy special place . Any Bob Marley fan should enjoy this movie . Good job Ziggy
Just saw the movie only a few hours ago I have got to say was the greatest movie I have seen me personally growing up listening to bob’s music it was a great thing to watch rip to the legend you live on in us and we thank you for your message that you spread to the whole world
I saw the movie last night. It was amazing! Bob Marley was truly a prophet for the people. I sang all his songs throughout the movie and in the car ride home. It’s a must see movie ❤️
Great movie! I loved the acting and the story. I like how they showed how close Bob and the wailers were. They ate together, jogged together, bathed together, played soccer together, and played music together. He and his band were like a family. Bob was a good dude. He loved people and just wanted peace and love for all the jamaican people.
My new favorite bio movie. Fantastic job. I started crying 5 minutes in. I loved seeing how the songs became to be.
I have been waiting for this movie for so long.
Amazing❤
Just saw the movie today, learnt few things and loved the film. Both of them did justice to Bob and Rita’s legacy. So ecstatic Ethiopia and Hailselassie were mentioned few times 🙏🏽
Bob Marley ! Love his music! ❤
I loved this movie, I just relaxed and saw the essence of Bob, he was such a part of my youth and his songs remain strongly meaningful today
I’ve been a Bob Marley fan since I was 3. Me and my family are Jamaican and omg I can’t wait to watch this movie fr. I heard it’s very good. Long Live Bob Marley. 💯🐐🙏🏽🕊🇯🇲🇯🇲🔥
You should watch it it's well worth it.
All the people that play in it well done
It was a good movie. Rest in peace to Mr Marley
I loved it I bought my ticket a month ago for my birthday . It opened valentines day in New Zealand . Loves you guys, loved the young nesta and the teenage one. Fantastic
It was AWESOME. I loved the fact that Bob Marley was a part of the move through his music. All the actors did an exceptional job. BRAVO.
The movie was so beautiful ❤❤❤❤❤
I've watched this movie...BEST EVER
⭐️The movie is very good. Enjoyed it. Kingsley & Lashana are both excellent. Must see it again in a couple of days.1❤
Bob was my first teacher of God. My gratitude to him is off the charts.
Absolutely loved this movie!
Thank you for this beautiful interview. Sending so much love to the cast of the film and the Marley family.
Beautiful film beautiful cast soundtrack is eternal. Great job ziggy and family. One love 🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲
Seeing it Saturday. Can't wait!
One thing about Ziggy, he’s not gonna put on a show. I love it! He’s Jamaican, you’ll hear it, you’ll see it… ❤
Just saw this movie and, my GOD, it was INCREDIBLY DONE! I pray this film wins many awards and gain a ton of recognition. Also, the CAST…I was truly blown away! Well done!!!
Saw the movie, it was epic!!!!
I saw One Love when it opened on Valentine’s Day, and Kingsley Ben-Adir played Bob Marley remarkably! He made the movie FANTASTIC! 👍🏽🇺🇸
Saw the premier on Valentine's Day. It was beyong amazing. A great tribute to an icon.
Great movie! We learned so much about Bob Marley and the this impact of his music world wide!! Tank you to all who worked on this, especially to Ziggy....your make your dad proud!!!
Hi ziggy. Please make this a season film. The life of Bob Marley cannot be made focusing on only one aspect of his life.
I could listen to that accent all day
I needed 30 more mins of the movie.
I felt that more of the political turmoil was missing.
Needed to know more about his mother
I’m black American and I loveeeedds the music! I thought I was a Bob Marley fan before but I had no idea! I went and downloaded ALL the albums and hope to buy the physical records for my record player. Such an iconic family. Thank you for bringing his story to life
I am glad that Bobs owns son and family where heavily involved in the movie they knew Bob best and were able to portray him in the most dignified way and keeping his legacy alive, I enjoyed the movie Kingsley and Lashana did a great job,
I didn t know anything about Bob, just like Kingsley said. I was amazed at the movie and what these actors did!!! Congratulations and God bless you all🙏
They nailed it
❤❤ wow Ziggy it amazes me how much you look like your father OMG ❤❤❤❤
Glad the movie featured Lashana, since becoming aware of her in the Bond film, I just adore this Jamrock woman.
Such an awesome movie OMG!! 🔥🔥🙏🏽
An AWESOME movie!! 👏👏
Such great honor and great respect to everyone who had a hand in making this phenomenal movie.
Movie was beautiful
I am going to see this movie tomorrow and I don't know much about Bob either. I'm a new fan of his music but I don't know anything about his life so I'm going blind. I'm glad that one of my best friends wanted to go because I got hooked on his music. It's just so calming and relaxing and I love the Jamaican rhythm to it. So interested in finding out more about him. RIP Bob, and I'm living proof that new generations are still getting introduced to your music and enjoying it. 😀 (He died quite a while before I was born. Nearly a decade actually.)
I Absolutely love it as a born Jamaican the patios neva bad either 🇯🇲❤️respect jah Rastafari
Loved every minute of it‼️❣️
Spectacular performance by Kingsley & Lynch. The movie did a splendid job to immortalize the legacy of Bob Marley. One love to the world!
Just saw the movie this evening and I loved it. My feet and heart were dancing. I don’t usually cry at movies but this one brought out a tears😢
Just amazing! !!! Wow can’t explain how brilliant it was!
Lashana, I love her soo soo much, she's so beautiful and sweet ❤❤❤❤❤
Thanks to the beautiful lady Ms. Patricia who consoled me after the movie. It was helpful what you said to me and it felt like Robert sent you. Thanks and God bless you and everyone continually.
Watched this and loved it 🇯🇲 We are blessed
This movie was soooo good! And i love that they really touched on the skin cancer. Alot of black people still think we can not get skin cancer so I love that this was addressed so well in the movie. Great film.
Not to disrespect Bob Marley because I love him and his music always but I wish he would have listened to his doctors and got his toe amputated when he found out he had cancer than he would still be here with us all. It’s a very good selfless thing to think of others before oneself however Bob was so young when he died and he left behind his kids and wife. I think the world would have been a different place had he lived.
Saw the movie yesterday. It was such a wonderful representation of who Bob was, and the message of his music, is about unifying humanity with the love of the Most High that when we tap into that energy of love; humanity will come together knowing we are all one, that vibrational energy that flows through us but has become lost along the way.
Beautiful message within his music. A Truly humble man. A seeker of truth not of fame or fortune,just love; one love.
Amazing movie
Bob carried a special message to his and also globally
And that message is needed today
Thank you so much Rita and Ziggy for sharing Bobs story with the world xx Bless you 😘 ❤❤
Can't wait to go see this!
Saw the movie last night and I must say I was filled with so much joy watching as a Jamaican living abroad. I was in amazement, hearing Bob’s message and how he wanted to reach the people through his music, and in that very moment watching, I looked around and smiled with tears in my eyes when I saw people from varying ages, race and culture all there watching. It was quite profound actually. Bob Marley is truly Devine and was placed on this earth for a higher purpose. I also wanted to get up and dance when his music was playing in the movie. I just really loved everything of the movie, even though I already knew the story. Well done Ziggy.
Enjoyed the movie, really well done.
This woman is a awesome actor i loved them both man they did so well so in tone with there characters
Saw the movie today, which is really incredible. Left feeling proud and inspired . Really great job, guys. Well done.
It’s a shame Damian Marley couldn’t play his dad. He resembles him the most. I ❤ Bob Marley. His songs are SO DEEP! Like the actor said, people don’t really know. There’s SO many messages in every song he wrote. Songs like “Running Away” and “Crazy Baldhead” are 2 songs that ❤ His songs are TIMELESS! I’m sad the world lost him at such a.young age. RIP Bob. ☝🏽 ❤
So looking forward to watching this film on Sunday. Rain or Shine.
Saw the movie last night it was Amazing! Kingley wow, wow fantastic acting!!! Thank you Mr. Ziggy Marley for allowing us to learn more about your dad.
Ziggy you are so authentic .
I’m gonna see this movie AGAIN!
I will see the moving next will, as I was too busy this morning.
Long King Marley.
One love one heart ❤️
Loved the film. Simply beautiful.❤
Just finished watching it & I recommend you all to see it!
Fantastic movie. Well done Ben and Lashana!👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽❤️❤️❤️🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲
I am going to watch that movie again. It was beautiful.
Ziggy🤙🏽💙RIL BOB MARLEY
