I went to see this movie today, March 5th, 2024, an All Day Bargain Tuesday. The price of admission was $6.50. I brought my own 20 oz ( 591 ml ) bottle of iced Dasani Water. And I also brought a Weight Watchers Fiber One Peanut Butter Cocoa Crumble protein bar and ⅓ bag of keto Nature's Garden The Good Mountain Mix for lunch.
I honestly can't do this movie much justice because I could barely understand their Jamaican English. I wish that the movie producer & the director had the foresight to add-in English subtitles for those among the viewers who either don't have an ear for such a quaint form of English or for those, like myself, who suffer from a bad case of Tinnitus! 🔔👂🏻🦻🏻 I envy those non-English speakers who have the benefit of watching this movie subtitled in their own languages. 😕
This movie starts around the time of the Jamaican Independence Festival in 1976. And ends sometime before his death of Metastatic Cancer in 1981 on his way home to Jamaica.
Tidbits:
This last Sunday, I was at the Selecta Pilipino Buffet Restaurant talking with my friend TJ ( I'll have to ask him what his name actually is; Tom Jones, perhaps 😜 ). But, likely, not of this caliber:

We got around to talking about Bob Marley. He said that he liked the movie and didn't know that Marley died in '81, that he died in '91. Well, so did I. And I even thought that he was assassinated! This movie laid down the facts for me!
Bob Marley's birthday, February 6th, is celebrated as a weeklong holiday in Jamaica. Other countries also celebrate his birthday.
Partway through the movie, I stepped out of the auditorium to report an inconsiderate asshole sitting in the front row, seat A-5 ( from the left side ), looking at his cellphone screen. Imagine that, someone in the front row of a darkened auditorium with his cellphone on which practically lit up the whole place! The other people in the audience seemed fine with it. But I Wasn't Fine With It Because What He Did Was Disrespectful, Rude & Inconsiderate❗He had it on for a few minutes when I had had enough of it! When I got back in the auditorium with the security guard, mr. ASSHOLE was still looking at his cellphone 🤳❗ And what made it even worse was that he wasn't some young punk, he was about my age and should have known better ❗❗ People like him are probably the ones who helped raise this current generation of social misfits ❗❗❗
This day started out with me having a problem accessing my META social media account! None of my passwords would work! I did a reboot, hoping that it would help. Nope❗I found out around noontime from Soberund's assistant that California, Oregon and Washington were all having issues with The META. I didn't know whether or not the problem was limited to just the West Coast or Nationally; and whether or not it also happened Internationally. 😒
I goggled it the following day:
I thought that what Marley had on his toenail was a Subungual Hematoma which I had on my big Left Toe in August of 2021. The nail eventually fell off and regrew. I had the same thing happen to my Left Pinky Toenail. In my case, it was a combination of Edema, Ill-fitting shoes, and bumping into things which caused the Hematoma to happen to my toes. But do check your nails every now and then because a sign of cancer can also be a black line from cuticle to tip of nail❗ I've had such a line show up under a fingernail twice or thrice but they all disappeared in a few weeks' time.
Emperor Haile Sellasie, the last emperor of Ethiopia, was big among the Jamaicans:
There was a massive airlift effort to repatriate Ethiopian Jews about 15 years after Sellasie's assassination.
