Nothing is unachievable

· Eminem is one of my favorite rappers, he grew up in a black neighborhood, he saw a lot of ugly deals, some creepy shootings, he didn't know who his father was, and her mother didn't give How caring and caring he is. So his songs are full of rage, and he's crying out to us about violence, drugs, bitches, conspiracy and love. Each story is close to the voice of a generation, and he has created his own-Eminem phenomenon in a short period of time. He has always been criticized in public opinion, but he never gave up, and finally proved that white people can also intervene in the rap world dominated by black people.

The film is a semi-autobiographical music film based on Eminem's own experience, and it also won the 75th Academy Award. The movie's name, Eight Mile, originates from a street in Detroit that divides Detroit into black and white areas. Every weekend, the rappers come to a hip-hop club for one-on-one one-minute show competitions. The male protagonist named Rabbit is a white man living in a black area, and his three good brothers, two blacks and one white. The four formed a rap group called "313". Rabbit often represented them in competitions. Although he was very powerful, at the beginning of the film, the male protagonist had just broken up and fought with his mortal rival, but the rabbit couldn't say a word on the field. Known as "dumb". Although Rabbit lives under such unbearable pressures every day, he never forgets the music he loves. He tries to break through the shackles of these pressures with music, but the first thing he solves is his cowardice. He went from being a "dumb" who couldn't speak a word on stage to singing bravely in front of strangers at a party to win praise to a rabbit who stood up from the crowd to diss, a diss woman's co-worker was impressive again In the final game, the audience cheered for defeating the enemy. During this process, the rabbit's family, love, friendship, and career all began to change. His only mother and his former high school classmates became sexual partners; his ex-girlfriend was pregnant, but now his girlfriend can't give him true love; his friends intervened Own love and career; no money to record music can only go to the factory to work. His only belief is his sister at home and his love for hiphop. He is an angry youth and a lunatic, but his pursuit of dreams and life has never stopped. He has been confused and disappointed, but he is attacked again and again. He grew stronger and stronger, and became a man worshipped by the entire Eight Mile Street. That's right, Eminem is the prototype of the rabbit, and he starred in the movie. This is why I like Eminem. His songs and his upbringing continue to inspire me. I used to listen to one of Eminem's songs called "lose". " yourself" is also the theme song of this film. The whole film will play a melody from time to time. As a stan (Amu's fan), when I hear the complete song at the end, I feel inexplicably moved, just as the lyrics say Said "No one can stop me, because this may be the only chance I can seize", not only the lyrics but also the prominent spirit behind it. At the end of the story, Rabbit stood at the intersection after defeating his opponent. A friend suggested that he and himself become a hiphop host, but he refused and told his friend "I'm going to work" and walked into a dark street. There was also such a scene at the beginning, but at that time he was the "dumb" in the eyes of the people on stage, and his friend walked to the dark street alone after comforting him at the intersection. Obviously, the former is more of shame and disappointment, and the latter is that the future is unknown and a new beginning. There are few daytime shots in the film, and the background is basically set in a depressing factory, a night street, a noisy party, and a home full of quarrels, implying that the environment in which Eminem lives is bleak. The tones in the film are also low tones, and the stories are also about the life at the bottom. People are dressed in low tones such as black and brown, but red is constantly interspersed in the middle, and these reds represent conflicts and contradictions. For example, Rabbit wore red clothes for the first time in front of the public, indicating a kind of self-breakthrough; when he had a conflict with his friend because of his career, his friend wore a very conspicuous red clothes at the time; he went to the record company to find When I found out that my friend was having an affair with my girlfriend, the entire record company was decorated in red; when my mother scolded the male protagonist after driving away my mother's lover, my mother also wore a red dress. However, these all just represent family, love, friendship, and career. At the beginning of the film, rabbit stood in front of the mirror and continued to practice until his friend urged him to get on the stage. At the end, he was also in front of the mirror. But the latter said with a hurt, "Whoever he is", the contrast between the two strongly suggests that the rabbit himself is aware of the changes in his growth through himself, and the mirror reflects not his former self, but a A strong and confident self standing in front of oneself. The whole film not only wants to express Eminem's inspirational and touching story, but also reveals a lot of humanistic concerns. For example, Eminem tries his best to let his sister have a good childhood. In the whole film, only children's hearts are the purest and most real. Yes, this is also the essence of hiphop culture - true, which is why rabbits and friends later burn down some abandoned houses where pedophiles lie to children. There is still a lot of warmth behind his rebellious and unruly, this is also Eminem's realism, although Eminem is not A good husband but he is definitely a good father. It's a joke that Detroit is a car city, and people's cars are still old, old and even faulty. And rabbit's car is also this kind of car, but the color of his car is red, which symbolizes fresh vitality and blood. The whole film also implies racial discrimination in black areas, white people discriminate against black people because of division, and black people discriminate against white people in black districts and boycott white people everywhere, attacking the racial inequality in the society at that time to a certain extent. In fact, this movie was made in 2002. At that time, the hiphop culture in the United States was not prosperous. It was mainly a problem of equipment resources. Some people who had ideas and were keen on rap did not have the financial ability to buy equipment for recording and production. The love but confusion began to think, in the end is the problem of society or the problem of their own. In the film, the director explained this problem very well. Although rabbit loves rap, he has no ability to rely on him to live. For him, a stable job is what he needs most at the moment. At the end, Rabbit refused his friend's rap job and chose to continue to work in the factory, because he knew that the chaotic work could not support him and his mother's rent, so he could only regard hiphop as a hobby and as a hobby. a belief. Many people's understanding of hiphop is just swearing, golden chains, etc., but "8 Miles" is a good refutation of people's misunderstandings about this culture, so that more and more people have a better understanding of hiphop culture and let people know It's positive, and it's a shot at the degenerate hiphop culture. There is a clip in the video that I really like, rabbit sitting on the bus, listening to the beat recorded by a friend with headphones, holding a pencil and a ripped piece of paper in his hand, a rhyme pops up in his mind, looking up at the dilapidated streets of Detroit . Why do you like it, because this is your world. A person can be cool in a difficult situation, it doesn't matter if you are a nobody, as long as you have a strong heart, you can despise everyone. Eminem once had a lyric that he was not even lucky enough to be a rabbit, this film does not fully represent Eminem's biography, because the reality is more cruel than this Eminem has experienced a lot of unknown sadness but despite the film presented It is only a microcosm of a part, but "8 Miles" still inspires many people, blood, youth, music, and it is also the most triggering place, these symbols are an era, the past of a generation and the dream of another generation . "If you had a moment, an opportunity, to make your dream come true. Would you hold on to it, or would you let it slip through your fingers?"
