Recently, the variety show "China Has Hip Hop" has brought a wave of hip hop boom.
I can't help but remind the editor that after listening to Chinese music many years ago, I suddenly changed my style and heard a song by a white singer named eminem.
There was no melody, just heavy drum beats, all kinds of 18 forbidden words, but whenever I thought of his songs, I thought of the mp3s tucked into the cuffs of the high school class, and those passionate youth.
After falling in love with eminem's music, I began to get to know him. So I came into contact with this "8 Miles". This movie has a high score of 8.0 on Douban.
Some people say that "8 Mile" is an autobiographical film, because the four threads of the film: family, friendship, love, and career will make it easy for the audience to think of the real life of eminem.
However, the editor believes that before the autobiographical style, these four words should be added, because the plot of the story is still different from the life that eminem really experienced.
This is a story of American "dung green". A bit of a small culture, love rap, advocate personality.
The male protagonist Rabbit drove the broken car all day on the 8-mile street of Detroit's black and white border, drinking and clubbing, taking the police to shabu and practicing boxing with the black rock mix of "Free World".
Unlike everyone else, he had a lot of skin color and talent, and in addition to his anger and rebellion, he was convinced that he would be able to get ahead, so he began to rock and roll.
Youth is repressive and distorted, including childhood, like the trailer where "Rabbit" lives with his mother, and the family of his classmates and mothers who are sexually sexual, everything is so inconsistent with his eyes looking for the world of dreams.
Only the music made him feel relaxed, made him no longer lonely, made him happy, and the powerful rap made it easy for him to vent his anger and strength, and of course his fists.

The film has always been shrouded in gloom, cold winter, twilight evening, late night when the lights are drifting, and large patches of gray sky with no trace of clouds, cold and desolate.
What can give people enthusiasm is the rabbit's big white ass, fat red T-shirt, beautiful sister's blonde hair, spurting blood and rap.
Rabbit alludes to the eminem. A young man who grew up in the "Motor City", not well educated, not stable in his job, with a passion for music, struggling with ideals and reality...
Love has broken his heart, and in the movie, Rabbit's girlfriend alludes to eminem's divorced wife. In real life, Eminem experienced marital failures. So the rabbit in the movie is also a loser of love.
The mother in the movie has nothing to do all day and is deceived by men. In Rabbit's eyes, she is a person who does not grow. In reality, eram also holds a grudge against his mother, and in the song "Without Me", he scolds his mother with f××k u, and the bad mother image created in this movie is probably also a vent of his anger.
Lily alludes to eminem's daughter. Although in the eyes of the American Parent Council, Eminem is a demon that poisons teenagers. However, in real life, Eminem loves her daughter and is a good father. Eminem has said that her unhappy childhood and bad experiences tell her that she should protect the next generation.
The battle match alludes to TheMinem's career. Eminem is a white man, and in the eyes of many people, white people should be idolists. Eminem is deeply obsessed with black music, and with his own efforts, he breaks through all kinds of shackles and finally becomes a great instrument.
The storyline is a bit old-fashioned, a positive energy story in which a small character breaks through the resistance skill and finally succeeds. In the history of a century-old film, such stories have grabbed a lot, but repeated telling will still make our blood boil.
Because we are all ordinary people, we have had some distant dreams in our hearts. It's just that with growing up and aging, dreams go away a little bit, and go farther away, for various reasons. The oppression of life? Growing pains? Squeeze of reality? In the end, when we bid farewell to this world, we can only look back at our youthful dreams with a sigh.
But the white rabbit in the film is a warrior. All these obstacles did not make him lose his authenticity, he was still that handsome, gentle, kind and hot-blooded young man, that kind of pure love for music, so that he was not confused, not as forced as the literary and artistic youth around us, all day long he knew that the bitterness seemed to be restless, he had his way to go, he knew where was his avenue of stars...
After the rabbit became famous, he just shrugged his shoulders and said that I still had to go back to the factory to lift the steel plate, I just wanted to do what I wanted to do. So uninhibited, touching and self-contained.
Jimmy, the rabbit after the victory, walked back to 8 Miles Avenue alone, and although he was on the road alone, his nights were better than ours...
