Terrible, vulgar, repulsive, but enough about Eminem...

Rating: 1/10 (14 September 2003)

8 Mile of course is going to be the movie that people are going to love simply for the fact that the foul-mouthed eminem is in it. In the film, eminem is a poor, persecuted white boy who is being cruelly put down and crucified because white rappers are always being viciously put down and snagged on by black guys with dreadlocks, baggy pants, thousands of gold chains with dollar signs on them, and a firearm somewhere on them. Eminem of course curses, then he curses some more. He eventually gets on stage to do a "rap battle", which of course he loses, which really surprises me since anyone with the mental age of a six year old could easily perform any kind of rap song and wave their hands in the air like some kind of psychotic moron on crack. The whole point of the movie however is to try and make eminem look really great, which it miserably failed to do at least for me and here is why: The movie in several ways tries to mimic eminems early home life, trying to show his mother did not love him and so on. What message do I get out of this movie? Part of it is "Be a rapper because anyone who does'nt even have a voice can do it, all rap is is basically talking in your own voice range and throw in a few hundred four letter words,". The movie tries to glorify eminem in that he is really cool because he talks about raping women and killing them in his so-called "Music". Eminem is a very little man, and I can only conclude the same thing about the myriads of empty-headed baggy pants followers who I can only conclude never bothered to try and listen to any kind of music. In 10 years, no one will care about eminem at all, except for maybe eminem of course.
