Customer Reviews of Rebel Music - The Bob Marley Story

Good but not the best
This is a good bio of Bob Marley but it still lacks real insight into his life and career...it doesn't break any new ground and the story is told better by Bob himself on the video "Time Will Tell" and by people who knew him on "Caribbean Nights: The Bob Marley Story" Hopefully, these will get re-issued on DVD as I think they are far superior. As one previous reviewer noted, there is virtually no Bunny and no Tosh. I did find the interviews with the former CIA Agent interesting. All in all, not bad but not the best.

Rebel Music - The Bob Marley Story
This DVD is a must for any Bob Marley fan. A powerful and comprehensive look at the historic life of a musical legend. The DVD includes both studio and live clips of Marley's most popular music, including some rare footage too. At times it is emotional; taking a look at a musical genius who was able to touch thousands around the world before his premature death.

Almost but not quite
It starts out really good then peters out midway on. Why is it that whenever Bob is about to go in depth about a particular subject, the filmmakers cut to him performing? How could they not address the Wailers break up? I mean they literally ignore it. Isn't the break up as significant as them getting together in the first place? Did Marley's music regress, progress or stagnate after Bunny and Peter left? How did Bob feel about Bunny and Tosh leaving? And what happened to Bunny anyway? You see him early on and then you don't see him again. Since he's the only one alive of the three, doesn't his opinion have more weight than most. All I'm saying is the audience would have gotten an even better understanding of Marley with more Bunny and more Tosh.
