| 8 Mile | |||
|
Dir. Curtis Hanson US 2002 (110m) The bad white boy of rap, Eminem attempts to widen his fan base (I guess Elton John wasn't enough) with his latest foray into film. 8 Mile refers to 8 Mile Road, the east-west street that divides the largely black city of Detroit from its largely white northern suburbs. It is also a semi-autobiographical tale of a kid, Marshall Mathers aka Eminem as Jimmy Smith Jr. aka Rabbit, trying to break out of his dead-end existence. An alcoholic mother (Kim Basinger), her abusive boyfriend, a pregnant ex-girlfriend and a crappy job can only lead to fantasies of a recording contract and life outside the trailer park. At his first public appearance at a predominantly black club, Rabbit chokes and is heckled by the crowd, but as in all great come-back stories, (think Rocky and Purple Rain), Rabbit eventually finds his voice. With Brittany Murphy, De'Angelo Wilson, Mekhi Phifer. |
