That's Life

Rating: Null/10 (27 December 2002)

I didn't used to like Eminem.. I have listened to a few songs of his that I really liked and I started getting more and more hooked. I saw the movie and just fell in love with him. The movie was not written for him or his life, but I have heard that some of the ideas Silver got, he got from Eminem. I think Eminem did a wonderful job on the movie. I could tell the difference between his moods, and the conflict his character carried. I can't see him making another movie, though. That would probably not be wise. I am not a rap lover, but I feel he has brought something unique to the music industry and he would become just another sellout in the name of fame if he were to act in something else. I loved the movie, I have no complaints. See it. It appears that rapping is his outlet. When someone has an outlet, there are no rules unless it hurts someone else. This is a good thing because if you don't like his music, don't listen to it. There are a few tracks that I have to skip because they are a little too intense for me. There are no gimmicks to this movie. Just a guy trying to make a better life for himself. He showed a side of himself that softened him a bit in my eyes. All in all I would recommend this movie to anyone, even if you don't like the actor. They did an excellent job and made me believe.
