8 Mile 8里公路 28 Mar 2008 at 09:30p.m.
The tale of one young man's dilemma as he navigates his way through his colliding worlds. Set against Detroit's hip-hop scene in 1995, Jimmy Smith Jr., a young white rapper, struggles to find his voice. The people of Detroit know 8 Mile Road as the city's perimeter. It is also a psychological dividing line between urban and suburban, between black and white, between where Jimmy is and where he wants to be. Here, survival is key, and for many, the emotional life preserver is hip hop. In the absence of nurturing parents, Jimmy and his friends--cool and charasmatic Future, optimistic dreamer Sol, aspiring activist DJ Iz and slow but steady Cheddar Bob--have created their own family. Jimmy and his "crew" (Three One Third), live on hopes of getting their "big break" while struggling to eke out a living at their dead end day jobs. At night, they feed their dreams in the hip hop clubs where the city's best rappers battle each other with abusive rhymes that are wielded like weapons. Here, words are meant to wound and victory belongs to the quick-witted.
本片曾奪得奧斯卡最佳原創歌曲獎: Eminem - Lose Yourself。電影背景設在1995年密西根底特律。8 Mile路位於由絕大部份非裔美國人構成的底特律和主要由白人構成的北部區之間的分界,「8 Mile」一詞因而代表的是一道難以跨越的藩籬。
1995年的底特律由昔日輝煌、富裕的工業重鎮淪為罪惡之城。對來自破碎家庭的占美(Eminem飾)而言,Hip Hop音樂是逃離這個頹靡的世界的唯一出路。占美與一班志同道合的好友組成樂隊,矢志憑音樂闖一番天地。他們白晝打工,晚上則跟不同對手以歌決鬥。占美到底能否將憤怒轉化為創作力量,晉身成hip hop巨星? |
