The movie 8 Miles is about hip hop in the American bottom society. Let's not talk about the music first, just talk about the theme of the movie. 8 Miles is from the rabbit's home to the place where the hip-hop competition is held. Although the 8 miles is not far away, it seems tentacles. It can be reached, but it also requires people to walk through it step by step. The same is true of the underclass in the United States, even worse than China. Rabbit lives in a crowded RV with his mother and sister, worrying about filling his stomach every day, and even worrying about deportation orders. Living in the eyes of the underclass Americans who have no money is a mountain. How is America? It is actually hierarchical. Rabbit's friends smoke marijuana every day, fantasizing that one day they will be signed by a brokerage company and live the life of a beautiful car. Every night these friends and dog friends are so fantasy, and finally one day, the rabbit can't stand it anymore, and the dream will not become a reality. , fantasy every day, but real life has not changed. They live off their dreams, but rabbits don't. Even if he wins the race, he still has to go back to the factory to go to work and finish the 8 miles alone. If you don't give up lightly, how can the audience in front of you give up lightly? Rabbit's girlfriend slept with a black man who only promised a bad check, and he was betrayed by the black man and beaten. But still go to the race, 8 miles, how far you are from your dream, maybe only 8 miles, maybe more. Rabbit is a person who knows what reality is and what he wants. His friend signed him up for the competition without his permission. Rabbit even had an argument with his friend. I need this job, this is the line I remember the most, how heavy is the burden of life, sometimes when I see the life of the hero in the movie, a deep sense of despair rippling in my heart. But I know that there is still hope, that is, relying on the person who slept with his girlfriend to record a demo for himself, but in the end no one can be trusted, only betrayal. Women at the bottom rely on selling their bodies, such as the girlfriend Rabbit met later, but what about men? You can daydream like those friends who live and die every day, or you can be down-to-earth like a rabbit and know what you want. 8 miles, both pursuit and life. In life, we all have dreams, but few people can take that step in the real 8 miles. Dilapidated life, empty pockets, and several betrayed loves, but we still have that sunny and kind heart, strong and unyielding spirit, and down-to-earth drive. Although the future of the rabbit is not given in the film, I saw the future and the hope that does not belong to this community in the decisiveness of the rabbit's resolute turn.
