"Lose yourself in the music"

Rating: 10/10 (22 October 2011)

A young rapper, struggling with every aspect of his life, wants to make the most of what could be his final opportunity but his problems around gives him doubts.
Rap isn't my type of thing. But only one person can change that: Eminem. This movie is surely underrated and I personally believe it should be placed on the top 250. Eminem is a great actor which is odd for an artist but the film is believable and real. It is surely one of my favorite movies. The movie is sort of like a documentary, but a live action documentary if that makes sense. It depicts Eminem's early life before he had become a rapper and it's sometimes sad, sometimes moving, and sometimes inspirational. The rap battles are really something, especially the last one on the film, that had me going crazy. He faces stereotypes, controversy, and everything in between. This film is just beautiful and I find it somewhat disturbing that this isn't on the top 250. 8 Mile is a great film that makes me believe that even movies that are rated below 7 could become one of my favorites. 10/10.
