Hardships

Rating: 10/10 (8 November 2012)

8 Mile is a vary inspirational movie to anyone who watches. This movie s a drama about how someone coming from a mean neighborhood to becoming one of the most famous rappers of all time. This movie can be described as determination, inspiration, and dramatic. The reason I chose this movie is because when Jimmy (Eminem) a young and unhappy blue collar worker started to rap he and told a story and those story's were sad but they had an upside to them.
Firstly, I feel that this is a great movie for someone that feels like they have nothing and feel sad that they have no future. The reason I say this is because when you watch this movie Jimmy (Eminem) has the roughest life that any person can imagine. Jimmy is a white boy in a black neighborhood, in a rundown trailer home in Warren of his alcoholic mother, he is ganged up on, beat up, and made fun of. Jimmy is practically a father to his younger sister Lily. He becomes a rapper that is the opposite of the others. Jimmy makes fun of himself and tells his story.
In addition, to everything he went through he had vary powerful lyrics. This movie is about determination. Jimmy is scared because a group called "free world" think there the best of the best rappers and don't want anyone to steal their show. They come to 8 Mile (the neighborhood that Jimmy lives in) and beat him so he won't rap anymore. Yet, Jimmy (Eminem) finds out that there is a big rap battle a while later where all the gang members are going to be. He decides to show up and tell everyone about what he doesn't have and disses himself so they can't. Eventually Jimmy gets a record deal and changes his name to Eminem and he earns a ton of money and becomes a great rapper.
However, even though Jimmy did have this opportunity to become the person he is today, he had a tough life even before 8 mile. He dropped out of high school and got fired from his first job and had to leave his hometown. When he came to 8 mile he had to live with his mom and her no good live-in boyfriend. Jimmy and his moms boyfriend didn't get along they got in many fights and he left. After that their life went down hill and they had no money to spend so Jimmy had to get a new job and things got a little better.
Finally, this is an excellent drama about determination and overcoming fear. Jimmy a 18 year old boy getting beat up and having the roughest life, yet comes through all his trouble by releasing his anger in his raps. He got a job as a mechanic. The person that was kissing his girl friend was later the one who got him a record deal. Today Eminem is considered one of the best rappers in history.
In conclusion, I recommend this movie, because I feel that if you are depressed and sad and you watch this movie you will see that you don't have it that bad. Eminem is a world famous rapper that came from all of this trouble and hurt and he still has hurt and pain but he can let it out his way. At is why I recommend this movie.
