毛线帽的帽沿遮住眉毛,外面再扣上运动外衣上的风帽,风帽外面扣一副耳机,工装裤肥大的裤裆几乎垂到膝盖。他就这样走过夜幕下底特律贫民区破败的街道,拐进黑暗的窄巷,一只手拎着装有全副家当的黑色垃圾袋,另一只手向身后的镜头和全世界竖起中指。



《8英里》是Eminem的自传式影片,由《洛城机密》的科蒂斯汉森操刀。此人确实有两下子,尽管故事大纲摆明了就是加了Rap的"洛奇"式肥皂剧,汉森却硬生生地压缩Rap成分,增加生活细节,拍出了一部底特律贫民区街头风情画。








电影发生在Eminem的故乡美国汽车城底特律的贫民区,"8英里"就是分隔黑人区和白人区的街道,主人公"兔子"吉米是个在黑人区长大的白小孩,他大部分哥们都是黑人,他穿得像个黑人,走路像个黑人,最喜欢在皱巴巴的破纸头上横七竖八地写Rap歌词。电影表面上的主线是地区俱乐部的Rap擂台赛就是两个选手各用45秒时间,用即兴Rap辱骂对方,观众喝彩声音大的为胜。片中一共安排了两场这样的比赛,分别出现在片头和片尾,主角自然是先受辱后报仇。片头那一段很短,片尾是最长的,一共安排了三组五段接近5分钟的Rap.








第一场戏的Rap斗法结束之后,"兔子"告诉朋友们,他被女朋友轰出来了,背着一垃圾袋行李回老妈家,进门就碰到老妈在跟新男朋友做爱。三个人在门口吵架,跟着他的小妹妹醒来,大家才算暂时停战。为了存钱租房子搬出去,"兔子"去汽车厂工作,平时他就跟朋友们混在一起,随便找些消遣:用彩蛋枪打警车、放火烧空房子、跟本区一伙已经出了唱片的Rap歌手"313"打架。镜头跟着他在底特律的穷街陋巷游荡,直到他倒霉得无以复加,然后在片尾的Rap擂台大放光彩。








影片就这样展示了底特律贫民区的风情,居民众生相刻画得尤其成功。



"兔子"不是有志青年,甚至不能算是个好人,他的生活一团糟,他离开女友的真相,并不是他所说的女友怀孕然后把他轰出来,而是他莫名其妙不辞而别;他因为怯场不敢去靠Rap擂台赛打出名,就想靠一个自称"有路"的朋友帮忙制作小样;他爱上了一个出没在Rap酒吧、梦想出书和离开底特律的女孩,却撞到后者跟他"有路"的朋友在录音间里做爱;他唯一一个白人朋友带枪帮他跟人打架,却打穿了自己的裤裆;他的母亲居然跑来跟他倾诉自己跟男友的性生活问题,家里付不出房租,眼看要露宿街头。








金贝辛格扮演的老妈是长不大的放荡女人,拿一辆一天需要修一次的超级老爷车送给儿子当生日礼物,明知没结果还要跟流氓男友纠缠不清,却在片尾展示出母性的一面。



那个交游广阔、跟朋友的女友上床的家伙不是大反派,他被"兔子"揍了之后带人去报仇,又阻止打手们干得太过分。



不忠贞、野心勃勃的女主角Alex也有善解人意、鼓励"兔子"成功的一面,长相甜美的布丽特尼墨菲把一个"小坏女人"演得光芒四射,令人欣赏,出身卑微的少年为了梦想打拼,也许就得像她一样不择手段。片尾的Rap擂台赛中,有一幕台上台下的两人互竖中指的戏,相信银幕上从没有过这样的分手情人对视:不羁、强硬,互相欣赏又一刀两断。








整部电影的感情脉络就在此处达到顶点,那是激烈、粗糙、真实的街头情感。



不纯洁,不高雅,却美丽。










Look, if you had one shot, one opportunity

To seize everything you ever wanted...One moment

Would you capture it or just let it slip?



His palms are sweaty, knees weak, arms are heavy

There's vomit on his sweater already, mom's spaghetti

He's nervous, but on the surface he looks calm and ready

To drop bombs, but he keeps on forgettin

What he wrote down, the whole crowd goes so loud

He opens his mouth, but the words won't come out

He's chokin, how everybody's jokin now

The clock's run out, time's up over, bloah!

Snap back to reality, Oh there goes gravity

Oh, there goes Rabbit, he choked

He's so mad, but he won't give up that

Is he? No

He won't have it , he knows his whole back city's ropes

It don't matter, he's dope

He knows that, but he's broke

He's so stacked that he knows

When he goes back to his mobile home, that's when it's

Back to the lab again yo

This whole rap *

He better go capture this moment and hope it don't pass him



You better lose yourself in the music, the moment

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



The soul's escaping, through this hole that it's gaping

This world is mine for the taking

Make me king, as we move toward a, new world order

A normal life is borin, but superstardom's close to post mortar

It only grows harder, only grows hotter

He blows us all over these hoes is all on him

Coast to coast shows, he's know as the globetrotter

Lonely roads, God only knows

He's grown farther from home, he's no father

He goes home and barely knows his own daughter

But hold your nose cuz here goes the cold water

His bosses don't want him no mo, he's cold product

They moved on to the next schmoe who flows

He nose dove and sold nada

So the soap opera is told and unfolds

I suppose it's old potna, but the beat goes on

Da da dum da dum da da



You better lose yourself in the music, the moment

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



No more games, I'ma change what you call rage

Tear this motha*in roof off like 2 dogs caged

I was playin in the beginnin, the mood all changed

I been chewed up and spit out and booed off stage

But I kept rhymin and stepwritin the next cypher

Best believe somebody's payin the pied piper

All the pain inside amplified by the fact

That I can't get by with my 9 to 5

And I can't provide the right type of life for my family

Cuz man, these goddam food stamps don't buy diapers

And it's no movie, there's no Mekhi Phifer, this is my life

And these times are so hard and it's getting even harder

Tryin to feed and water my seed, plus

See dishonor caught up bein a father and a prima donna

Baby mama drama's screamin on and

Too much for me to wanna

Stay in one spot, another jam or not

Has gotten me to the point, I'm like a snail

I've got to formulate a plot fore I end up in jail or shot

Success is my only motha*in option, failure's not

Mom, I love you, but this trail has got to go

I cannot grow old in Salem's lot

So here I go is my shot.

Feet fail me not cuz maybe the only opportunity that I got



You better lose yourself in the music, the moment

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



END
