The characters are too lack of real and distinct characters, and the storyline is too bland. Obviously, the handling is not very satisfactory. Of course, for a film with a strong entertainment nature and a strong sense of popular science (popularization of Chinese culture) , the requirements for the depth of the film itself obviously need not be too strict.
Generally speaking, Kung Fu Panda is a film that makes Chinese people look very comfortable ~
but since I thought of this question, I have to think of some films with distinct characters and strong storylines. Searching my memory about the movie, "8 Mile" is really a movie that I have to mention among the movies I have seen.
Actually speaking, I have seen quite a few films that I consider to be classics, have depth and are widely recognized as classics, have depth and gain both fame and fortune, and have been successful in the literary and commercial fields. Among these films I also like very much:
"The Pianist at Sea"
"Cinema Paradise" (two of the legendary Tonatore trilogy)
"The Shawshank Redemption"
"Schindler's List"
"The Graduate" "
It's not too cold after this kill",
etc.
Among these films, "8 Mile" is obviously so little and insignificant. But in terms of personal feelings, love of the characters in the film, and fascination with the plot, "8 Mile" is obviously the number one in my heart.
After reading "The Pianist at Sea", I will feel a little bit of melancholy.
After watching "8 Miles", I was only inexplicably excited.
Eminem himself is a rather legendary figure. Ever since I first listened to his "lose yourself" (also the theme song of "8 Mile"), I have been deeply attracted by his rap. Especially the explosive and thoughtful lyrics really changed my prejudice against rap that was vulgar and without connotation in the past (in fact, rap may be the most thoughtful form of music, of course, from pure enjoyment and art. On the one hand, rap may be worthless). At the beginning of the
story
, the tragic defeat of rabbit in the freesyle battle will slowly attract the audience to explore the inner world of this white man who is a little decadent and a little angry, and the
accompaniment of the very rhythmic "lose yourself" sounded slowly.
A big curtain slowly opened, and
rabbit's life opened to us.
It turned out that this guy just broke up with
his girlfriend, he left his car to her,
so he was homeless.
He had no choice but to return to his mother's side when he was an adult,
rubbing against her trailer.
His mother lived with his elementary school classmates, and all he
thought about was having fun with her sexual partner.
He had to endure the shameless exploitation of her mother's life and the blatant humiliation of himself by the sexual partner, as
well as his own powerlessness and struggle to get out of the predicament.
He loves her sister,
but he can only watch her not being able to get the protection and happy innocence she deserves in such an environment.
He works in a car factory, and those in
charge will never give him a good look.
He has a group of besties,
loyal friends,
they call themselves 313,
but there is a group called free world that always gets them right.
He fell in love with a girl named alex,
the girl also loved him,
but because of the development forced to sleep with another person like an agent,
rabbit hit him hard,
but was chased and beaten even more Horribly, almost died.
He complained, he was angry, he knew his shocking rap talent,
but the hardships of life made him unable to display it,
he has been waiting for an opportunity,
one shot,
to bloom, to sublime,
to seize everthing he want.
The story is like this. In the end, rabbit won the freestyle battle in a row, and even made papa dad say nothing in the final, and won the championship with an overwhelming advantage. While his friends were imagining what a better tomorrow awaits the rap genius, he just said that he was going back to the auto factory to continue the work he didn't dare to finish.
The last shot is on the back of him raising his arms high in response to a friend's blessing.
That back, perseverance, self-confidence, a little cold, a little arrogant.
Characters
In fact, the characters in this film are really the highlight of the whole film.
Needless to say, rabbit naturally bears many imprints of eminem itself. Angry, decadent, talented, a little neurotic and autistic, he sings rap but has a lot of witty words, and his skills are astonishing.
And many other characters are also distinctive and lovable.
His friend future's enthusiasm, cheerfulness and
loyalty , chad's incompetence and loyalty to the rabbit,
the fat friend (can't remember the name)'s kindness and loyalty ,
and the thin friend (can't remember the name) slightly Neurotic thinker temperament.
Alex's sweetness and cheerfulness, as well as yearning for a better future,
Rabbit's mother's corruption and motherly love for Rabbit,
Rabbit's sister's self-reliance and innocence, the
signal light's chattering ability to lobby,
and even the humiliation and arrogance of all the villains in the play penetrating.
The scene that I can't forget is the scene where chad took out a gun and shot himself during the fight with free world. I always think of this ridiculous little person, his pursuit, his happiness, his heart, his worship and loyalty to the rabbit. When other friends wanted to visit him, he deliberately pretended not to be at home, but opened up to the rabbit alone. This scene always makes people feel a little warmth in a cruel world.
