delysid d 03/19/2022 cool movie but no clue what these mumblers are saying most of the time! some funny hairstyles you don't see often these days See more 06/06/2021 A great film that feels like it is somehow very evocative of a time and place, not that I can say what late 70s Jamaica was like with any certainty. The film stars legendary drummer Leroy "Horsemouth" Wallace as a man trying to make his way in a difficult world. The film expounds a fair amount on various strains of Rastafarian philosophy, and the struggle against the representatives of the multi-faceted Rasta idea of "Babylon". There are some wonderful shots, I'm thinking particularly of the inside of a record pressing plant, Horsemouth travelling round Jamaica on a motorbike, and a wonderful scene featuring a Burning Spear accapella. The music is, of course, phenomenal and many of Jamaica's top musicians of the time feature in supporting roles. Subtitles recommended for most - I thought I was reasonably good with patois as middle class English white guys go but really struggled to follow when I first tried without them.

See more 07/22/2013 Colocando de parte a brilhante banda-sonora e o valor que Rockers tem como documento do reggae em 1978, o que sobra é uma história de hustling nem por isso muito interessante, mas com grandes momentos como aquele em que Dirty Harry ocupa a cabine do DJ para improvisar um soundsystem até que a polícia chegue. Também é engraçado ver uns tantos figurões do reggae (Kiddus I, Gregory Isaacs) empenhados num filme que, no fundo, demonstra até onde pode ir o sentido de humor dos rastas. É inevitável compará-lo ao The Harder They Come e a verdade é que perde para esse por 3 a 1, vá lá. See more 08/31/2012 Watching with the family, seriously love this movie See more Read all reviews
