‘Bob Marley: One Love’: A Cinematic Call for Peace – Interview

We have a special affinity for biographical films, don’t we? It’s fascinating to witness the true stories of some of history’s greatest artists unfold on the big screen. From Elvis Presley to Freddie Mercury and Elton John, and now, it’s time to honor the legendary reggae icon: Bob Marley. 

Paramount Pictures brings us a film that truly captures the essence of this iconic musician. It delves into Marley’s deep passion for music, his profound love, his connection to soccer, and his tireless pursuit of peace. Unlike most biopics that start from childhood, this film focuses on Marley’s later years, particularly after surviving an assassination attempt in 1976. This event prompted him to create Exodus, one of the most famous albums of his career.

While the movie doesn’t explore Marley’s early life in detail, it still offers insight into his mindset, lifestyle, and enduring significance to Jamaica, his homeland. 

Interview With LOS40 & De Película

Riva from LOS40 and De Película interview the film director, Reinaldo Marcus Green, and some of the cast, including Kingsley Ben-Adir portraying Bob Marley, Lashana Lynch as Rita Marley, and James Norton as Chris Blackwell. 

During the interview, we understand that the actor not only needs to grasp the character to portray it effectively on screen, but also that characters carry significant lessons from the person they portray. In the case of Kingsley Ben-Adir, he had to study the musician extensively, including his childhood, the root of everything, even though that part isn’t shown on screen. With this movie, we can also see the importance and impact of community, as a ‘legend isn’t a legend without help and guidance’.
