Rockers Reviews
Great movie
Great movie, more difficult for me to understand than other movies I've seen from Jamaica...but it was a great move. Enjoyed reading about the actors and band histories. The Glossary was nice, as well, learned some new terms.
Overall, I really enjoyed this movie!
Ultimate rasta travelogue!
Part of what I like to call the "Holy Trinity" of reggae-flavored films--the other two being "Harder They Come" and "Countryman", "Rockers" is one of those rare movies where style over substance is a moot point--it's still a classic! The storyline is almost mythic in its simplicity and universal themes; but you ultimately don't care because your senses are too busy soaking in the infectious energy of the performers, the sumptuous tropical colors, and a perfect marriage of visual movement and insistent reggae beats. The subtitles are helpful but not really required in order to enjoy the experience. The only other film I can think of to compare this to is 1959's "Black Orpheus", which had a similar power to immerse you in another culture with its heady combination of music, color and movement. Warning-I guarantee you'll break traffic laws to rush right out and immeadiately purchase the incredible soundtrack album (which thankfully is in print and fairly easy to track down)!
