From this comes the tale of one young man's dilemma as he navigates his way through his colliding worlds. Set against Detroit's hip-hop scene in 1995, the story centers on Jimmy Smith Jr., a young white rapper, who struggles to find his voice. The people of Detroit know '8 Mile' as the city limit or a border. It is also a psychological dividing line that separates Jimmy from where and who he wants to be, as he struggles to find the strength and courage to transcend his boundaries.

    This is more than a movie about a rapper. This is a movie about the struggle to make it in this world.

    He may not be an actor but you have to give the man credit for doing a good job. This one surprised me.

    Way too much over acting. He just made the list of singers who shouldn't act. The rap wars had me laughing so hard because really! What the hell does this prove?

    Pleasant movie for both Eminem fans and anyone who cares about movies 'n music.
    I've always liked Eminem as a rapper 'n lyricist and been sure he can make a real good actor (if u have watched his videos, u know what im talkin about).
    I'm happy that I finally got a chance to watch 8 Mile. No matter u like rap or not, its a good movie about a young boy trying to live individually and plannig to make an up-level living.
    Eminem performance is really good and the movie, like Eminem character and his songs in the real life, has something to say.
    Does anybody knwos why Eminem was not present at The Academy Awards ceremony to receive his Oscar for Lose Yourself song?

    No matter whom we are, no matter where we live, we're all bound by borders. Many of us are content to live within these borders--others are simply forced to exist within them. But some of us need to break out, burst through

    If you love music, you would love this film. Eminem portrays the life of musician truly with his heart but the failure falls when you tries to analyze too much about his family.

    Why hasn't Eminem done more movies after this? You know, unlike most other rappers that find their way into movies, Slim Shady can actually act. I wish I could convince M to do more movies. What's up, Marshall? You're not interested in acting anymore? I like to believe that you still are. Please, do another movie. I've been waiting, like, forever... I also have to commend Curtis Hanson for doing a good job with something this different.

    EMINEM IS THE DEFINITION OF A TRUE RAPPER... HIS LYRICS ARE ALWAYS DEEP AND INTELLECTUAL... THEY MAKE YOU THINK ABOUT LIFE.

    I'm sorry, but playing what is essentially yourself does not constitute good acting. Don't even ask me why I've seen this.

    Not even sure what this is supposed to be about. And eminem loves himself, which looses the movie several stars right there.

    Story of Marshall Mathers a white boy who wants to be black, and a buncha thug punk ass chumps like the ones i grew up with in my neighborhood. i don't like black culture dumb down our society movies and videos, so this was pure trash to me. if that makes me racist, then oh well.

    Eminem is a great actor in his semi-autobiography. With this and all his music, you can really see how stressful his life was. Plus, this sparked the best-selling rap song in history.

    I did see this because of the pop culture surrounding him at the time, though I was never a fan. It did give me good insight into his life, and I found that to be of some benefit in talking with kids, but the movie itself was overall not really worth seeing and I would not recommend this to anyone

    I thought Eminem did a great job as acting it had a simple storyline and the setting of the plot was pretty good not all about hip hop and rap it did have a good dramatic side to it but i really thought Eminem did a great job.
