Although it's all a story

It is said to be an autobiographical inspirational film about the bottom life represented by white rappers. Ha, in my opinion, inspirational movies are nothing more than this routine: the protagonist is born humble - the protagonist has a dream that seems to be out of reach - the protagonist encounters setbacks in the pursuit of his dream - the protagonist overcomes many obstacles and crosses thousands of mountains and rivers to achieve success. In short, inspirational movies are to tell us that there is always a reward for hard work.
But the reality tells us that this sentence should belong to your mother's art, because in fact, many people carry their dreams and strive to become stronger, and in the end they still live in poverty.
Thinking about it now, inspirational movies really rarely tell us what to do after failure.
At the end of this film, the protagonist just gave us a handsome back, and the dream is still on the way, so the protagonist may keep falling again, and success is just an unknown waiting for him on the road ahead.
I think this is a very responsible handling, because this suspense happens to summarize our life with an objective attitude: even if the road ahead is full of thorns, even if the future is not optimistic, we still need to maintain the most beautiful posture.
The little girl who appeared in the film made me see the deepest tenderness and sense of responsibility of a man with a strong appearance, especially when he said seriously and tenderly: "Come in, come in and lock the door", ha, this is really The man's approach: Even if it seems powerless, use the most suitable method to protect the people you love.
That blonde beauty is the girl I liked very much after watching "Lovesick". This realistic girl, it doesn't matter who she loves, she just wants to grasp the feeling of the moment, ha, who dares to be in the past and the future Promise to others, everyone is on the way to pursue their dreams, and the current feeling is the most reliable. If people deceive themselves too much, they can only be paralyzed in this illusory happiness, while life is full of all kinds of real pain. Is not it? what.
There are also those brothers who made me experience the long-lost brotherhood. To be honest, I used to be accustomed to the pretentiousness of the East in "Young and Dangerous" and "Monka", but today I suddenly began to feel that it was still the simple philosophy of the sea. more convincing.
Although this movie only tells a story, I am obsessed with a real dark thread: before the dark dawn, we may be blind, but because of this, we cannot drift. The future is so tempting, how can it be as real as the present.

  • 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.
