a tale of 8 mile

Rating: 8/10 (12 May 2006)

Well a pop culture icon in a movie about rapping. Thats how i went into this movie. I came out a little bit more surprised then I thought. The story is about Eminem growing up in the ghetto with a horrible life. Living in a trailer with his family. This is a basic story about being raised in the ghetto so u know what to expect coming into this movie but how they executed it was pretty good. Eminem is a surprisingly good in this movie believably partly because this is based off his life. I loved the free style scenes witty, funny, and a big part of the film. Eminem goes through trials and tribulations to reach it to the big time. He encounters a love interest in Brittany Murphies Character. They have chemistry but ultimately he drops her for his dreams. His friend played by Meki Phifer. He is good in this movie but just a supporting actor.Eminem goes through the toughness of trying to make it as a white rapper in a land of black rappers. If you like Eminem you're gonna love this movie if you like rapping you're gonna like this movie if you like movies u might not wanna pass this up. This is a good movie there's a lot of better ones out there but its worth your time.
