Cast & Crew Screening Of "8 MILE" OCT 2002

Rating: 9/10 (29 October 2002)

I think this was a great way to watch the completed version of "8 MILE". After watching countless hours of dailys, it was a pleasant shock to see the film in its glory up on the big screen. Not to mention the fellow patrons I watched it with! It was great to sit among 800 + extras that were involved in the process. As excited as they were, we enjoyed the performance of Eminem. He turned out to be a fine actor.
Being born and raised in Detroit, it shows the city in a real perspective. From its glory days of the turn of the century to its decaying city neighborhoods of the present. "8 MILE" shows a realistic look into hip-hop/rap scene of the inner city - Detroit.
The relationships of Eminem, Britney Murphy, and Kim Bassinger seem to interact smoothly. They deliver a believable performance in my book. I truly enjoyed seeing this film.
Hope you enjoy it as well as learn a few things about his (Eminems') world.
