8 Mile also illustrates the curse of poverty and Eminem's desire to escape. The best part of this film is that this particular week was pivotal to his life and his career as a rapper, a time of which Eminem realizes he must to take control of his own life if he wants to change his fate. Unbeknownst at that time, Eminem's fate is full of victory because he makes it big in the hip-hop and rap world, breaks through poverty, is a great father, and has recently overcome drug abuse. However, considering the undertone of aggravation and hostility presented in his new album, Relapse, Eminem may still face other battles that must be fought with more than fists and words–-but that’s just an observation.
I give 8 Mile four stars and the song “Lose Yourself” is awesome. At the end of the day (week or film), Eminem's performance was terrific and the rest of the cast was incredible, all of which helped make this film seem as real as the story itself — a story that proves we can change our fate, if we are willing!
