u always get someone who has no idea that spams the silly comments " i hate eminem" blah blah blah

its a great film in its own right, even if u dislike his music style

Now I am a big follower of the hip hop & rap culture, but I thought that 8 Mile was a mediocre film. Certainly worth watching and makes a change from all the glorified gang type films that seem to be generalised with the genre.

I will leave you with a quote from the film (to the tune of Sweet Home Alabama by Lynnrd Skynrrd)

"I live at home in a trailer...." :D :D :D :D

:(I apoligize darkentity I have a tendency to blurt stuff out. I suppose I shouldn't diss prolly good film, tis just that the whole rap thing puts me off a bit. Was a fan of eminem when I was a bit younger but rap just isn't my thing anymore.

Eminem is an interesting character - I disagree with a couple of his morals / attitudes, but his abilities in writing are quite impressive - he's not stupid !!

8 Mile is actually a damn good film though - I thought it was maybe just going to be some pro-eminem show , making him look fantastic blah blah, but it highlights a difficult lifestyle and in most of the film he is working in a detriot stampworks... hardly the glamorous image you might have expected !

Is the film closely based on eminem's past, or is it mostly fictional and they've just used him for a face that people recognise?

[The Pimp]

It is based on a bit of both Graeme. It is true that he once choked up during a 'battle' beofre he was known. The part with regards to his mother is also supposed to be true, & has anyone noticed how much the little girl in the film looks a lot like his daughter (even tho it isn't). In reality the 313 crew in the film are really based who are now known as D12.

i saw it last night, wasn't too bad a film

could've done with subtitles at some points though

I thought Eminem was a really good actor in 8 Mile, he should really go on to do some non music related movies.
As far as the film goes, the plot was really weak and it left a lot of things untied at the end, but still worth going to see.

[Graeme*Kustom*]

untied ending = means they can make a sequel and get more money usually :)

I saw it last night, thought it was really good, better than i was expecting anyway!
