I’m a big fan of rap and hip-hop music, so one of my favorite movies is 8 Mile’. It is a semi-autobiographic film about Amine’s life. Starring well-known artists in the movie industry, such as Brittany Murphy, Meeker Prefer, Omar Benson, Kim Besieger, and Mine himself, ‘8 Mile’ became one of the most successful movies about musicians ever made. Set in Detroit, 1995, the story revolves around a white boy named Jimmy 8-Rabbit’ Smith, an inspiring rapper, trying to succeed In a music style cost known for black artists.
Jimmy lives In a trailer park with his mother and his younger sister on 8 Mile Road, the Imaginary line that separates Detroit In two halves – the have-sots and have-onto. The very first scene of the movie presents The Shelter’- the building where all the rap battles take place. It Is Friday night and It’s time for Jimmy to go on stage and battle lyrically with another Inspiring rapper, But when he gets the microphone, he ‘chokes’ and gets booed off stage.
That really takes helm down and he is almost ready to give up on his dream. After some dramatic twists and turns, Mr.. Smith mans up, gets over his pains and plunges in the courage to go back on stage and show everybody what his level of skills is like. In some kind it reminds me of the movie ‘The White People Can’t Jump’. The movie has won many prestigious awards, including an Academic Award for Best Original Song, which makes Mine the only music artist with an Oscar.
Not only with brilliant acting, but also with very good soundtrack and deep and moving lyrics, the film will definitely touch your heart and many people will find themselves in a situation similar to Jimmy’s. To sum up, I’ll say that ‘8 Mile’ is worth watching and I’ll recommend Otto not only music lovers, but also everyone interested in realistic movies that will make them think about life opportunities and one-time chances.
