8 mile, this is the name of a street

To be honest, I have heard very few em songs, that is to say, the few songs that everyone knows.
I've been wanting to watch this movie for a while (that's the thing, I want to do a lot, but I'm just lazy to do it, maybe this is the day-dreamer that is often said).
This stuff is a biographical film, at least I think so, Detroit in 1995, as if I saw the depression and dissatisfaction brought by the post-industrial age. Iron-grey vistas, rumbling machines in the factory, leaving his girlfriend, and a terrifying mother, everything poured out in front of such a young man.
What do we expect from him, he's not Spider-Man, or Superman, or some sort of Popeye. He is using his own music to tell his life, maybe this is not a resistance, just a kind of telling, passing his own feelings to others, this is the greatest commonality of the so-called art for human beings - freezing emotions, Save, share.
Leave your girlfriend, and the girlfriend you just met. She was so different, so special, and seemed to crave him more than anything and even life. In fact, reality will never be as beautiful as dreams. For her own future, in order to stand out, or for a momentary pleasure, she would also sell her body.
How can this be? Actually not, the movie shows us that em won the last sentence, and won the most incisively and vividly, but he still chose to leave, because at this moment, maybe he knew where the road ahead was and found what he wanted to do.
The meaning of life Don't always ask this kind of question that seems esoteric but actually empty, find your way and go on, maybe there is light not far away.

  • Female Lunch Truck Rapper: [Rapping] Man, I'm so sick and tired of fucking with this steel. They only give us thirty minutes to eat lunch and chill. My body achin', just to get a buck. I'm sick of eating this shit off this fucking lunch truck. Nasty ass food, I'm in a nasty ass mood. I should've called in sick. Shit, I had something to do.

    Male Lunch Truck Rapper: [Rapping] I can't believe I'm hearing all this ravin' and rantin', from Vanessa, up in here at the New Detroit stampin. You need to get your food and take your ass back to work. Your dreamin' if you think them corny ass raps will work. Look at ya'll out here, freezin' like dumb fucks, rappin' away for food off this raggedy lunch truck. Who want what? Who pumped up to get rolled up? I spit venom in every direction, soak some up. Look at this fatass nigga. Sloppy sucker. You an ugly motherfucker. Your pop should've wore a rubber. Stop rhymin', keep your day job, Vanessa. Next time leave that bullshit home on the dresser. Speaking of dresses, take a look at Paul the fruitcake! When you travel you probably pack panties in your suitcase. Made out of lace from Victoria's secret. If ten men came in a cup, you'd probably drink it.

    B. Rabbit: [Rapping] Okay folks, enough with the gay jokes. Especially from a gay broke bitch yourself, hey lo? This guys' a doo doo. You've worked here longer then me, and I get paid more then you do. Dawg, take a seat. What's this guy standing in line for? He ain't got money to eat! Check this out. Yo yo, this guy cashed his whole paycheck, and bought one ho ho. Fucking homo. Little maggot. You can't hack it. Paul's gay, you're a faggot. At least he admits it. Don't even risk it. This guys' starvin' to death. Someone get him a biscuit! I don't know what they told you, Mike. You must had them cornrows rolled too tight. This job, you wanna quit, but you can't. You've worked at this plant so long, you're a plant. Look at your goddamn boots. For Christ's sakes, they're starting to grow roots! On this mic you get faded. You look like a pissed off rapper who never made it. Hey, why you fucking with the gay guy, G? When really you're the one who's got the HIV. Man, I'm done with this clown. It's off. Fuck it, I'll let home girl finish you off.
