摆开传统的束缚，1970年代是一个无拘无束的美好岁月，在摇滚乐史中既有承前启后的地位，又同时具有自己领域的独特风格。那是一个没有抄袭、不靠包装的创意时代。相对于正统主流的披头四，走红1970年代的是另类非正统音乐：齐柏林飞船合唱团、老鹰合唱团、史提夫汪达、洛史都华、戴维鲍伊，还有奇装异服却又才华洋溢的艾尔顿强，都是独霸一方的新摇滚高手。也是在这个时期，有料的摇滚乐手才能任性在录音室里创造自己的经典，无怪乎有人称赞1970年代比起现在的乐坛有趣多了。
本集和吉米佩吉与齐柏林飞船合唱团的罗伯普兰特重温摇滚乐的黄金时期，并详尽地介绍了结合了蓝调和摇滚乐精髓的疯克音乐。收录史提利丹合唱团在1970年代早期的演唱。另外还包括捕捉最真实摇滚精神的演唱会实况: 行径怪异的戴维鲍伊当年竟在摇滚舞台高处被困住将近半小时、吻合唱团舞台上的火焰险象环生……千奇百怪的突发状况在这些珍贵的片段让人看了瞠目结舌！

It's been more then 20 years now that the great Bob Marley died in Miami 1981. Since then he became even famous and bigger in the whole world then he was when he was alive. Several documentaries appeared since then. Documentaries like: Time Will Tell and Carribean Nights. They where all great. Rebel Music is not better then those one but also not weaker. Although this documentary has more unseen clips and unheard songs. Acoustic songs like Soul Rebel and Heat Of The Day comes by which is in my opinion the best thing this documentary has. The 30 seconds from Soul Rebel is amazing, and it is a big shame that Island isn't bringing all those great versions out that they have in their faults. But there are more things that are brought in this documentary. Bob was a person who had a lot of women in his lifetime. Not in any documentary they paid attention to this. girlfriends like the Miss World of 1976 Cindy Breakspeare is talking about Bob. His wife Rita is also talking about this subject, and the role she had in this marriage. There are also some unseen clips that are coming by. Some of them are from Jamaica 1973, but also from some concerts like The Amandla concert played in Boston (No Woman No Cry) and also a sound check. And this too reveals that Island has many, many unseen videos in their faults. They are also showing some new footages of the One Love Peace Concert and a short part that was cut from the Live! At Rainbow video.

影片是关于牙买加民族英雄——“雷鬼教父”Bob Marley（鲍勃·马利）的音乐纪录片。最早在2009年，马丁·斯科塞斯原定为美国制片公司韦恩斯坦执导这部影片，定于2010年2月6日上映，那是正好是马利的65岁诞辰纪念日。斯科塞斯曾经执导过Bob Dylan的纪录片《No Direction Home》以及滚石纪录片《Shine A Light》，不啻为最理想的导演人选，但他因为档期冲突而离开了这部电影。《沉默的羔羊》的乔纳森·戴米被委任为第二任导演，他曾经执导过吉米·卡特、尼尔.杨、Bruce Springsteen以及the Pretenders等人的音乐纪录片，但由于同制片人Steve Bing创作理念的不合，他最终也在2009年5月离开了这部电影。第三任导演是英国人凯文·麦克唐纳，他的作品表除了《最后的苏格兰王》之外还包括《冰峰168小时》同最近的《浮生一日》两部经典的纪录片，对音乐也是丝毫不陌生，拍摄过米克·贾格的音乐纪录片，由于他来接手这部电影也个令人放心的选择。《马利》最终预定在2012年5月上映，这个日期也恰巧是马利去世的30周年纪念日。
在此前，已经有过多部关于鲍勃·马利的传记片，包括Declan Lowney执导的《时间将会证明》、Jeremy Marre执导的《Bob Marley: Rebel Music》等等，但本片是第一部得到鲍勃·马利家人认可的传记片。鲍勃的儿子Ziggy Marley出任了影片制作人之一。“我们一开始找到凯文，是因为他是一位名声在外的纪录片电影人。但是对于我们家人来说，最重要的是他的热情同关心，无论是对于我父亲作为一名音乐家还是作为个人”，Ziggy Marley这样解释选择麦克唐纳作为导演的原因。《马利》为了展现这位伟大的天才音乐家留下的遗产至今仍在世界范围内有着巨大的影响力，在牙买加、加纳、日本、英国以及美国等多国采访拍摄。马利的妻子和亲朋好友、过去乐队的队友以及珍贵的图片和演唱会资料都被收录在了电影当中，使得影片能够深入地从多个侧面来展示鲍勃·马利的生平和思想。2012年2月，《马利》在德国柏林电影节举行了首映，获得了各方的好评。

Based on footage shot in the early seventies and lost for more than thirty years, NAACP IMAGE AWARD winner Esther Anderson takes us on a journey to Jamaica and into 56 HOPE ROAD, Kingston, to see and hear the young BOB MARLEY before he was famous. The film shows us the WAILERS' first rehearsal, when the idea of a Jamaican supergroup like the BEATLES or the STONES was still just a dream. We sit in on the launch of their international career with "GET UP STAND UP", "I SHOT THE SHERIFF", and the "BURNIN'" and "CATCH A FIRE" albums that brought to the world REGGAE music and RASTA consciousness together as one, starting a revolution that would change rock music and contemporary culture.
