The title of the film: Hustle and flow has double meanings, one refers to prostitutes and the other refers to hard work. DJ is also a dual identity. After his father died, the unskilled DJ had to follow his uncle and become a pimp, a very promising career. But this is a pimp who has pursuit, a pimp who will cry when listening to black spiritual songs in church. At the beginning of the film, there is a monologue of the DJ. The DJ talks seriously to his prostitutes, explaining how people and dogs are. Different, this monologue is very open-minded and clearly tells what the theme of the film is. After that, the plot unfolded as expected, and the DJ finally got his song to air on the radio, even though he was still serving his sentence.
The standard inspirational film mode, it feels very similar to the ruffian Eminem's 8 milles, except that 8 milles is a semi-autobiographical film, and the stream is a fictional character, but in fact, many black musicians have come out this way. For example, the famous blues singer B.B.KING, as well as countless rap singers, are all from the street underground. So it's no wonder that rap songs are filled with sex, violence, drugs, and anger. These rap singers directly express the life they are most familiar with in songs, and unabashedly express their psychological feelings at the lowest level of society. Therefore, these songs have resonated with many people in their pre-famous state. rap It's no surprise that it became popular.
The strong rhythm hides people's unremitting pursuit of their dreams, and their desperate pursuit of dreams, although some of the methods are a bit shameless, not as beautiful as the surface. That's what this film is all about.
In addition, there is a little tidbit. The actor Terrence Howard actually doesn't like rap music at all. He actually plays the guitar a few times off the screen, but he had to study hard to sing rap in this film, and his grades were not bad.
