故事开始于19xx年冬天的底特律,在一个hip-hop俱乐部里,周末乐手们都聚在一起,进行一场一对一的45秒钟的表演比赛,最后由人群决定谁是本周冠军。B. Rabbit出场时独自在镜子前练习,紧张、焦躁、不安、矛盾,都显示出来。对于他来说rap就是他生命的一部分,是他躁动不安的灵魂,是他亲密无间的爱人,是他即使失一切也要牢牢抓住的东西。但当轮到B. Rabbit上台表演时,他却什么也没唱,被轰下台。
随后我们进入到B. Rabbit的个人生活中。他在厂里当工人,因与女友分手而丢掉了汽车,又重新和母亲以及同母异父的妹妹一起生活。接下来B. Rabbit更是遇到了一连串的烦恼:遭到竞争对手的侮辱与殴打、与母亲吵翻、新女友和其他男人有私情、与好朋友产生矛盾。
面对这一连串的问题与烦恼,B. Rabbit并没有就此迷失了前进的方向。他重新振作起来,决定再一次参加hip-hop的比赛。就像所有好莱坞电影经典桥段一样,当B. Rabbit再次面对上次失败时的旧对手时,B. Rabbit重新用自己的实力击败了他们,取得了比赛的冠军。愤怒依在,但他选择了冷静,我想这就是rabbit最后想要表达的吧。他依然对这个社会不满,依然想骂就骂,但是他不再拒绝去加夜班,当工头问你为什么在工作时间泡妞,他会说,我保证下次这种事情不会在发生。
八英里这部电影讲述的毕竟不是底特律普通青年的日常生活。当你看见做了一天工作的
Rabbit上了公交车,耳机套在头上听着rap,拿出一张纸,在上面边听边改。昏暗空旷的公交车上,白人青年忘记了所有烦恼,大脑里全是音乐,这是一天最幸福的时间。这个时候不会想糟糕的老妈又惹了什么麻烦,妹妹有没有按时吃饭睡觉,女朋友是不是又跟别人跑了,还有就是自己的明天在哪里。在这段时间里他谁也不是,他只是他自己,一个心有所求的男人。
八英里的一切都反映着现实,他是想告诉我们:不论你是身处地狱天堂,只要你还坚守理想,那么你就是拯救自己的的神,你一定要 Find Your Voice。
既然聊起这部电影8mile,那就不得不说说这个饱受争议的名字——Eminem。喜欢
eminem的人、喜欢rap的人很容易就可以理解影片中的rapper必须经历艰难打拼才能成名,这也是很多rap歌手出言不逊的原因,因为他们大多数都是凭借硬功夫拼出来的,从没有路的境地闯出一条路来,自然和偶像明星不一样,他们有太多心酸的故事,而世界也欠他们太多东西了 。
一个非常普通的励志故事,那我为什么要推荐这部电影呢?
第一。一部半自传式的电影,其中的rabbit就是eminem他本人。你可以完整的看到rap歌手成长的全部过程。
第二。音乐。你不能错过这样几首奇迹般的歌曲。
第三。你必须明白这样一个道理: 做一个清醒者,冷冷的旁观这个世界,向世界索取自己想要的东西,做自己想要做的事,成为自己想要成为的人,该抓住的抓住,该舍弃的舍弃,该背叛的时候就背叛,这才是真正的够酷,不是装逼。
第四。这是我的偶像给我的忠告,或许很多段故事都可得到这个小结论,但我却更愿意相信这一个,就因为它是eminem说的。这是榜样的力量:我们追逐一个偶像,说真的也是追逐一个,我们渴望成为的自己。 感谢那些榜样在前面,感谢我们在后面,有了往前走的力量和方向。
当你处在一个黑暗时期时,看看这部电影,它会带着你走出黑暗。或许现在我们每个人都在这样一个不得志的黑暗期,充满了迷茫,怀疑,那我们更要抓住这个契机,逆流而上,时刻敬告自己:我可以被打败,但不可以被摧毁。
最后以电影主题曲lose yourself中歌词作结:
You own it. You better never let it go.
You only get one shot,do not miss your chance to blow,
This opportunity comes once in a lifetime yo.
You can do anything you set your mind to,man
