　　故事始于1995年冬天的底特律。在一家名为The Shelter的hip-hop俱乐部里，每到周末乐手们都聚在一起，进行一对一的60秒钟表演比赛，最后由人群决定谁是此轮的胜出者，进入下一轮直至决出周冠军。当轮到小吉米·史密斯（艾米纳姆饰）上台表演时，他却卡壳了。

　　随后我们进入到吉米的个人生活之中。他在酒店当门童，因与女友分手而丢掉了汽车，不得不重回到拖车里和母亲（金·贝辛格饰）以及同母异父的妹妹一起生活。吉米继续着他的个人奋斗：他不仅要面对被轰下台来的尴尬，还要应付与母亲一起住在拖车里生活的现实。与此同时，母亲男友的出现，来自生活、工作和朋友的压力，与一群hip-hop乐手的激烈竞争……所有的这一切，都需要他去面对解决。

　　故事聚焦于一个年轻人的生活，表现出主人公试图冲破团体与家庭的束缚，建立自己个性的情感斗争，以及他勇于用音乐表达愤怒和恐惧，跨越种族与个人的身心障碍，并最终逃离底特律城的生活经历。

[ 关于影片 ]

　　片名8英里取自底特律城的8英里街道之名。此街为底特律城市与郊区的分界线，也即白人与黑人居住区的界线。谈到底特律，就不得不提到它的音乐。无论哪个时期，这个城市的音乐总是来自于它的蓝领阶层，hip-hop也不例外。作为一种艺术形式，hip-hop是即兴且快速的，其歌词内容有主题且见解深刻，它要求语言的技巧和对生活的敏锐观察。对于影片中像吉米这样的人来说，hip-hop是他与自己的空虚之间沟通的唯一方式。

　　艾米纳姆（痞子阿姆）对于底特律的hip-hop俱乐部十分熟悉。“我记得如果我输掉一场比赛（hip-hop比赛），我的整个世界就会崩溃掉。很多人会说‘嘿，老兄，这有什么？输了就再来呗！’但我却会觉得自己的生活全完蛋了。这是竞赛，就像体育比赛是运动员的全部生命一样。也许很多人会觉得这种想法很愚蠢，但对于像我们这样的人来说，这就是我们的世界。”

　　在影片中，吉米具有成功所需的技巧，但却缺乏语言的表达能力。“我演的角色吉米——是个爱头脑发热的家伙，” 阿姆说，“就像以前的我一样，其实我现在有时仍然会头脑发热。”影片中吉米在找到发音技巧的同时，也开始寻找超越分界线的道路。毕竟对于他来说，这个“8英里”实在是无法再忍受下去了。

[ 关于痞子阿姆 ]

　　底特律城是主演艾米纳姆——“痞子阿姆”成长的地方。因此，影片可以说是艾米纳姆的半个人体自传。作为一个白人，闯入hip-hop的世界且后来成为其中的风云人物确实让人有点儿不可思议。艾米纳姆原名Marshall Mather，生于堪萨斯，随后的童年时代一直在底特律和堪萨斯城之间搬来搬去，12岁时随母亲在底特律东部定居。阿姆的童年被剥夺了所有的快乐——不停地转校，领着社会救济金，没有什么朋友，还不时地遭受恶少们的欺凌。于是，音乐成为了艾米纳姆最好的心理治疗。他从高中时便开始表演说唱，阿姆的首张《The Slim Shady LP》一下子吸引了大家的眼球。

　　传奇RAP乐艺术家兼制作人德瑞博士(Dr.Dre)在洛杉矶电台听到了艾米纳姆自由风格(freestyle)的演唱，对其印象深刻，立即寻找这位来自密歇根的年轻人。不久，德瑞聘请阿姆加盟他的Aftermath公司，于是阿姆开始了与这位“最伟大的hip-hop音乐制作人”的合作。此后，阿姆的事业一步登天，《Slim Shady》和《Marshall Mathers LP》都卖了几百万张；后者更是获多项格莱美奖提名，包括年度最佳专辑。这虽然得力于恩师德瑞博士的帮助，但无论是在作词还是曲目编排上，阿姆自己的个人功力都不可小看。

　　与此同时，充满性、毒品与暴力的歌词，放荡的个人生活，愤世疾俗无所不骂的人生态度，与母亲反目成仇的关系以及与妻子的分分和和……所有这些都使阿姆成为了万人瞩目与争议的焦点。这个自命“世界上最卑劣的人”，痛恨在贫穷中成长，痛恨在破碎的家庭中被抚育，痛恨一直无法摆脱的种族偏见。阿姆所得罪的人遍地都是，但他的支持者们仍称他为"Great White Hope"。

　　影片中则包括《Lose Yourself》等3首艾米纳姆的新歌，还有来自Jay-Z, Nas, Rakim, 50 Cent, Xzibit, D12等的最新音乐。艾米纳姆与德瑞博士合作完成了影片的音乐与电影原声大碟。

[ 关于导演 ]

工作照


　　提起导演柯蒂斯·汉森(Curtis Hanson)，影迷们肯定会想起他所指导的黑色影片经典——《洛城机密》(L.A. Confidential)，该片叙事紧凑、人物突出，又集合了拉塞尔·克罗、凯文·斯派西、盖·皮尔斯三位演技派男星，而超级美女金·贝辛格也成功地演绎了一个精妙的花瓶角色，该片当年获得9项奥斯卡提名，并最终将最佳女配角、最佳改编剧本两项大奖收入囊中。此外，柯蒂斯指导的《摇篮惊魂》(The Hand That Rocks the Cradle)、《狂野之河》(The River Wild)、《后起之秀》(Wonder Boys)等片也为人津津乐道。

　　柯蒂斯说服环球公司让他在底特律城拍摄《8英里》。“我问了阿姆和他的朋友们无数的问题，到他们经常玩耍的地方去，听他们常听的音乐，”柯蒂斯谈到如何让阿姆和底特律的朋友们参加拍摄，“我告诉他们在拍的时候要像平时一样说话，然后我就把这些镜头全部记录下来，选出最好的部分。”

　　影片制作人布莱恩·葛瑞泽(Brian Grazer)这样评价柯蒂斯的工作：“他干得简直不可思议的出色。我相信这会是一部令人目不转睛而充满激情的电影。”

[ 点评 ]

　　无论我们生活在何处，无论我们是谁，我们每个人都被各种界限所包围着。其中有些界限是真实的，有些可能只是想象。一些人满足于规矩地生活在这些界限之中，另一些人不得不这样做。可还有些人想要冲破这些界限，即使另一面完全是未知的领域。

歌词
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, blouww!
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 rhapsody
He better go capture this moment and hope it don't pass him

[Hook:]
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 hoes 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

[Hook]

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

[Hook]

You can do anything you set your mind to, man
