Let's be realistic.

It's funny watching the elements come together in this complicated scam. On one hand, the set-up isn't quite as complex as it seems, but there's an easy sense of fun in every exchange.

It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.

This is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.

8 mile is the best movie i have ever seen. the story of this movie is about Eminem life and what he had done for become what he is now. from when everyone bully him to when everyone respected him and his music if you count Eminem is not an actor he done very well as a protagonist. I recommend this movie because Eminem is one of the best artist in the work and who follow him have to see it for understand what he went through when he was younger.

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

This is the only rap movie I've seen and I don't really listen to rap music (the extent of my rap knowledge is Kanye West and Eminem's 'Stan') so I'm not really qualified to review this movie but I'll give it a shot.Man, rap music is hard! I hear people say that rap is annoying and it's not 'real music' because they're not singing, only speaking fast, but watching the scathing, cunning and brutal rap battles in this movie I shudder at the thought of trying to keep that pace. Not just the pronunciation but the thoughts, the innovation, the ad-libbing.So, it's a music movie. In a way you could even call it a musical because characters spontaneously burst into performance like they do in 'The Sound of Music'. Mostly it's a standard underdog story. Eminem is a guy in the dumps, close to rock bottom, but he endures and rises to the challenge with his quick wits and his perseverance. He's not a bad actor and the character is sympathetic enough. Brittany Murphy plays a pretty but trashy love interest.Most of all I liked the rap battles, especially the ones at the end. They were as intense as any physical fight scenes I've seen and had me pumping my fist in the air.

In the movie 8 Mile, directed by Chris Hanson, the obvious theme was standing up and using your voice but it was really about getting up when you've hit the absolute bottom. The main character is actually based off of Eminem, the real life rapper. This story is told in Detroit and he's trying to become a well known rapper. He is only stopped by one thing, his skin color. His white shell causes him to lose "street cred" and is disrespected by all of the rap community. They don't believe a white person should be rapping and think that it isn't right for him to join the weekly "rap offs". This causes him to go through a lot of pain, emotionally and physically. With his life at home falling apart with his unemployed mother and her drinking addiction, he struggles to keep a steady job and support for his baby sister. He gets jumped and mugged in the streets by the same group that dominates at the rap offs and continues to bully him. He hits a point where it doesn't look good for him and he has hit the absolute bottom. If you've ever been bullied or suppressed at any point in your life then you need to watch this movie as soon as possible.
