People should not comment about the guy who play Bob also I'm a Jamaican in London England and I want to see it it's a must weather in good or bad

[@user-id5ju7fc4f]

It really doesn't matter its a black movie played by black people about a black supper star and a Jamaican at that. So let's focus on that reality. When younare casting for a movie you pick the right person for the part regardless of there nationality thats just how the cookie crumble sometime.

[@Grogu-485]

So you think a non Jamaican can play the role of a Jamaican better than a Jamaican 😂😂😂 rubbish

[@andieslive669]

Honestly, it's a great movie for Bob Marley and his family and what did for Jamaica and the world through Reggae Music. However, to me the entire family are more for the Whites than Blacks and they always put England before Jamaica. In fact, the authenic Jamaican actors always get left out of the big acting roles when it comes to Jamaican Film Casting.

[@deedunk8383]

Exactly. Why can't they use real Jamaican for the role.

[@robertbradley5240]

Who you want acting as bob marley, cutty ranks, shabba ranks, mutaburaka, you need someone who have a light skin and a straight nose who knows ACTING, so stop being so bias, like all Jamaicans know how to act

[@jadeheart911]

no sound

[@Minglemediatv]

There is sound for the clips of the actors - the b-roll doesn't have sound :-(

[@jamesking4110]

I don't understand why they could'nt find a real Jamaican to play Bob.

[@deewills4720]

The producers of this film recommends you mek you owna film & decide who YOU waan fi play Bob, & kibba yu mout!

It show how they think of the Jamaican people not smart enough to play the role of a Jamaican dam foolishness

Rasta is not a tourist item to be sold nor a musuem piece to be put on the shelf. A weak actor playing Bob is not a good look.

[@tz6414]

Hilarious how the two grifters turn up, photobomb and how Tracy James pointedly doesn't even look at them or make any acknowledgement during the photobomb. Very telling. Later on,.the grifters end up in cheap seats to see the movie.
