8 Mile

8 Mile

Last week, we saw the movie ''8 mile'' in school. The reason why we saw it, was because we were to see an example of the American dream. We were given a task, to write an film analysiz about the film. The movie is based on the life of rap artist Eminem. It is set during the time, before he became famous.

So the story is set in his hometown and neighbourhood in Harlem. In the film, it is winter. He doesn't have enough money for an own appartment, so he lives with his Mom. 8 mile, was the name of the street, where he came from.

Eminem, or in the film ''Bunny Rabbit'', is the main character. He works in a factory where they make car-parts. He has a talent for rapping, and rhyming, but in the start of the film, he thinks the opposite. His confidence is quite low in the start of the film, but it raises, as we get deeper into the movie. He is a very aggressive person, and he has alot of anger in him self.
Future, Cheddar Bob, SOL and DJ Iz, are the people in Eminems crew. The most important of them is probably Future. He's quite famous in Harlem, because he won the rap final once. Now he is hosting the battles. In the movie, there is a rivalization between two gangs. 313 street, and Free World. Eminem is part of 313 street.
His mother, was the person who gave Eminem, the nickname ''Bunny Rabbit''. She owns a little house in 8 mile. She is seeing a former classmate of Eminem, his name is Greg. In the movie, she gets a warning of eviction, and when Greg finds out, he leaves her. She was devastated after that, and started drinking.
Including these people that i have mentioned, is there alot bi-persons.

The climax comes very late in the movie, i would say. Before the final rap battle, he decides to enter after all, because in the first place, he was not actually going. Then he shows up to the battle and wins. But after the battle, the movie is over, so we did not get to see anything after that.
