My Admiration for 8 Mile

8 Mile is my ultimate favorite film, because it describes the life experience of Eminem, my favorite artist, and how he struggled a lot with drugs and poverty just to make it where he is at now. The first time I saw 8 Mile I was in complete awe. I could not say a word as to how wonderful it was to me because it writes Marshall Mathers’ life story extremely relative to how it happened, except not with so much description as to all the drugs and things he was affiliated with. This film is not my favorite simply because it stars Eminem, but because it painted a picture of what it is like living in Detroit, Michigan with poverty and putting one’s blood, sweat, and tears into escaping a miserable living habit. The environment that he was in was not by choice, it happened to be that their father left and his mother could not afford to give him and his brother a luxurious life, so it depicts the struggle of falling into problems with the wrong people or even having nothing but a pair of clothes and the struggle of keeping a job even when in the worst scenario. Ultimately, this film obtained my appreciation by demonstrating that with the right amount of effort, dedication, and aspiration to become something better in life can come true you just can’t give up and not be a quitter.
