The greatest movie ever!
A Brilliant Conflict
The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.
The movie really just wants to entertain people.
8 Mile (2002) Great acting debut. Racial divide in Detroit, Cliché, dull until Epic final rap battle: Eminem versus Falcon. (Tanka (短歌 tan-kah) poems are unrhymed short poems that are five lines long, with the 5-7-5-7-7 syllable format. #Tanka #PoemReview
8 miles for me is probably the best film in the film industry. The film perfectly illustrates the life of a poor white guy who pushes his way to fame. This path was very difficult for Marshall. The film clearly shows how Eminem was not respected because of his skin color. As on rap battles shouted to him: "Fuh, white." But this did not stop him, and he sold it further on rap. Besides this problem, he had problems with housing, with my mother's ear, and with the mother who was very fond of playing, and lost all the money in bingo. The main character has very remarkable friends who, despite his skin color, supported him and helped him. This film is semi-author biography, the famous rapper Eminem, that is part of the film is fiction. I thought for a long time how Marshall acted as an actor, it turned out that he plays as well as he reads rap. And the soundtrack of the film deserves special attention.
spoiler alert this movie is one of the best I've ever seen. it is a must watch is was not to long winded but just enough to make its point it shows how (rabbit) had to work hard through all the criticisms and negativity.i would recommend it for fans of Eminem it was brilliant and i would not hesitate to watch it again
Summary: I am a big Eminem fan (a Stan, mind you). So I watched this movie mostly for the prime reason of Eminem being one of the actors. I did not really have high expectations for this movie. It ended up as one of the best movies I have ever seen. I also ended up watching it a total of 7 times. Not getting bored a single time. I know the movie from the beginning to the end, story line is great. Interesting and mind capturing, great deliverance and all actors were decent to good, excluding Eminem who was a GOD as an actor. One of the very best one.The movie is about this fellow white "wannabe" rapper Jimmy, who is seeking a better live and wants to quit living with his mom. Actors: 8 / 10 - Plot: 9 / 10 - Story line/Events: 10 / 10 NOTE: Some actors were half decent, some very good. So that is why actors get an 8 out of 10. Recommended: YES! Great rap moments, tho should be noted if you're not into hip-hop this will not be a movie of your biggest interest.
