8 Mile
Eminem, the white star of American rap, acts in this movie incarnating some events of his own life on-screen. We can see a talented, emotional young rapper Jimmy Smith-Jr. aka Rabbit who has hard times living on the 8 mile street in Detroit. After the break-up with his girlfriend Jimmy lives with his mother who is constantly quarrelling with her admirer. To rent a flat and to save up money he lands a job at the metallurgical plant where he meets Alex, a girl who believes in his rap talents. His Afro-American buddy allows Jimmy to make a demo-record at the studio but their friendship crushes when Jimmy and Alex get caught red-handed at the scene of kissing. Meantime, Jimmy takes part in rap contests despite the fact he isn't met with open hands in the Afro-American community.
