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.

if you like rap music this is one for you, i absolutely loved it starting out at a dead end job to gaining respect in the streets of rap circles The film, set in 1995 and loosely based on Eminem's actual upbringing, is an account of an aspiring white rapper named Jimmy "B-Rabbit" Smith, Jr. (Eminem) the Film is mostly done on location in Detroit and its surrounding areas, the film was both a critical and commercial success with a great soundtrack to it with lose yourself and a great starting verse to rap greatnessLook If you had One shot Or one opportunity To seize everything you ever wanted In one moment Would you capture Or just let it slip?

Watched this for the first time in 10 years recently. What a great film. A real statement of its time. Everything that was bad in the USA in the 1990's is perfectly illustrated, giving food for thought as well as inspiring empathy for a lost generation of young poor Americans. Living in Trailer parks, caught up in gangs - black against white.All this is the backdrop for some of the cleverest wordsmiths around, creating Rap and Hip Hop music including one Oscar winning songWon't be to everyone's taste - but everyone should watch it once in their lifetime

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.
