One of the interesting things about the film to me was thelong path that the main character had to go down to achieve his main goal: being a musician. It really got my attention because it’s well known that it’s difficult ma-king a living out of music, and watching films about that makes me realise and admire the determination that people have to make their dream come true, and also inspires me to do the same.
On the other hand, one of the things I didn’t like about the film was the lack of main characters. Maybe if they were more, the film would be more rich of storylines and catch extra attention from the audience, but it wasn’t the case.
2. Who is your favorite character from the film?
I can´t really tell if i have a favorite chacarter, because the only one who developed a solid progress was Ivan Martin. Yes, I simpathize with him, because I love movies were the main character goes after his/her dream and acomplished it, even though the obstacles that they have to go through, but i really didn’t enjoy his attitude after he achieve his goal. The greedy attitude he got really set me off.
3. Would you recommend this film to someone, why/whynot?
Personally as a person who enjoys music, and appreciatesthe history of music, i would hihgly recomend watching this movie, because it’s a livid representation of howreggae music started. It’s also amusing making the comparation of how music was produced back then, and what it has become now in the jamaican culture. A lot of people enjoy listening reggae and it was like the first jamaican recognised genre, but nowadays the most popular and acknowledge jamaican music is dancehall. If there is a movie that shows the begining of dancehall music, I would love to watch that to!
4. How does this film contribute to postcolonial identity?
I think that reggae its one of the most important things that contributes to the jamaican identity, and all the movie goes around that. Also, through all the film they spoke the Jamaican Creole instead of the standard english, that really helped to perceive them as an unique nation. While they relate the story of Ivan, they showed the ways of living from the jamaican culture and all their manners. All this together makes a big contribute to the postcolonial identity.
