“8 Mile” is the story of a would-be rapper, nicknamed Rabbit, played by Eminem, trying to make it big in the music industry. There are also a few side stories, which let us know just how hard it is for this young rapper, especially because he is white. Not only does he live in the ghetto, but he has just left his girlfriend because she said that she was pregnant, though we know that she is not pregnant.
At one point Rabbit says that he knows why she lied, but the film never bothers to tell us.
This is just one example of the multiple times this movie neglects to finish a story line. If you want to see a fake documentary on MC battles with a few neglected side stories, this is the movie for you. If not, wait until it comes out on video, and you might enjoy it.
