12	----
13	!!''Bob Marley: One Love'' provides examples of the following tropes:
14
15	* The70s: The film starts in 1976 and ends in 1978.
16	* AdaptedOut: Bob's many affairs are eliminated from the film, with the exception of Rita pointing out that she's raised the children that have resulted from them, and the brief glimpse of Cindy Breakspeare, one of his lovers.
17	* ArtisticLicenseHistory: Bob's would-be killers were never caught. There was no moment where one of them came to his house to beg for his forgiveness, though the scene is probably based on Bob himself declaring that he held no ill will towards them.
18	* AssassinationAttempt: The attempted assassination on Bob in 1976 is one of the first things depicted in the movie.
19	* CelebrityIsOverrated: Upon being told he's a "superstar", Bob answers "I ain't a superstar".
20	* CrazyJealousGuy: Bob gets pissed off at the sight of Rita talking to another man while at a party. In the ensuing argument, he reveals that he knows about her lover back home in Jamaica. She counteracts this by pointing out his raging hypocrisy --that he himself has had affairs and children with multiple other women.
21	* TheFaceless: We get only glimpses of Bob's father and hear his voice, but never fully see him.
22	* {{Flashback}}: Numerous ones scattered throughout the film, showing Bob as a young boy, him meeting Rita, the start of his music career, etc.
23	* HalfBreedDiscrimination: In a flashback, Bob sheepishly admits to Rita that he was afraid to approach her because he didn't think she'd like him because of his light skin. She admits that she was afraid that ''he'' would rebuff ''her'' because of her dark complexion.
24	* HeroicBSOD: Bob goes into this following his cancer diagnosis.
25	* {{Hypocrite}}: Bob gets ticked off at the sight of Rita talking to another man and reveals that he knows about her lover back in Jamaica, even though he's had numerous affairs of his own.
26	* InMediasRes: The movie begins in 1976, long after Bob has been established as a reggae superstar and shortly before the attempt on his life.
27	* MoodyTrailerCoverSong: The trailer uses an arrangement of "Three Little Birds" on this type as the trailer highlights the highs and lows of Bob's career.
28	* ProtestSong: As Bob puts it, "You can't separate the music and the message".
29	* ShirtlessScene: Bob takes a bath shirtless under a waterfall in the trailer at one point.
30	* TitledAfterTheSong: Titled after "One Love", one of Marley's [[invoked]]{{signature song}}s.
