The gimmick that I won the Oscar for Best Original Music gave me an incorrect prediction. Because I watched the biographical movie of the gang rap BIG before, I was still waiting for the male protagonist to reach the pinnacle of life, but I didn't even hear any decent rap. That's why I was disappointed in the short review. I don't like rap music because it represents angry abuse, usually behind the violence and crime of the lower society.
But one comment point woke me up. It said that the male protagonist went to work smartly after defeating freeworld. Returning to the life of the Detroit auto factory seems to be the failure of the male protagonist not to reach the peak of his life, but it is the most positive energy of the whole movie.
Rap music is the bottom-level entertainment, and some singers who are talented and better than others always hope that they can debut. However, how many people can really make their debut. What do people who haven't debuted and who haven't debuted in their whole life do. The male protagonist swayed on the road given by two groups of people, while promising him that he could record for free, while inviting him to participate in the competition. These people have dreams, and so does his partner, but their dreams are almost fantasy. The male protagonist is no longer late and goes to work safely. Have the money to support yourself first. Well, rap, you can also diss each other at work lunch.
The male protagonist's name Rabbit is too weak for a rapper. He was silent in the face of a powerful opponent. As a white man, he mingled with black people. Living standards are similar to theirs, but because they are white, they seem to be superior to others and it is difficult to integrate. But he was also quite angry, and no one could stop him from fighting. In the end, he won the game precisely because he bravely stated his current situation.
Let's talk about his two girlfriends. The first one got pregnant and dumped, presumably an escape that couldn't be afforded. The other one is attracted to beauty, and is also bewitched to embark on the road of rap. The second girlfriend is indeed very ambitious, maybe she can go a little further in New York, or a little closer to the road of women's watches.
Life is too far from ideals, there are too many temptations and confusions, and it is not easy to find the right path.
