Marley the movie

This post is about the artist Bob Marley, not about a movie with a golden retriever to save any mix up :)

Firstly, this movie is an epic 2 hours 24 mins long. I lagged a bit here and there during that time but its generally hard to keep my attention for a long period.

Anyway I've watched the movie Marley which goes through the live of yes you guessed it Bob Marley. They have got a great selection of people to talk about him, ranging from family members to members of The Wailers and many friends. They talk about how he started off in a really bad part of Jamaica and how he rose to fame and grand popularity but he always stayed grounded and he always kept his faith/beliefs true. I found it upsetting in the last stages of his life, with the cancer all over his body and there was little to nothing the doctors could do. I wonder if he was still around today, what he would be like, what kind of music he would produce if any and his thoughts on the current state of the world. One things for sure, his massive volume of work over 36 years will definitely keep him in people's minds and hearts forever.
