It's OK, but not Excellent

Rating: 6/10 (5 March 2006)

I know people might stereotype Eminem as an eminent bastard trying to make himself into the ghetto (hence the name Eminem). It's compelling to some degree because it not what everyone to relate to or even understand. Some parts of the movie don't make sense because they're rather plot holes. The conflict of his girlfriend is vague. There is really no artistic base to this movie. It seems to me that this movie may be attracted to teenagers who dress ghetto and where highly pricey clothes than opposed to a classier audience. The struggle gave a boring reflection because Eminem didn't really capture any feelings towards this character. It's so static that it seems that nothing affected him at all. "Lose Yourself" is just another song for teenage wannabe/premadonnas with no life. To me, I'm rather a person with culture. So I'm not to fond in the hip-hop world. The artistic business should wait awhile to introduce hip-hop as a cultural color to the American painting. No offense, but hip-hop is a cultural waste because it's talking about prostitutes and killing, and how it's fun. I don't think 8 Mile is up to a general standard.
