Undeserved Misfortune

In 8 Mile, my favorite film, undeserved misfortune always goes to Eminem or in this case "Jimmy" because he lives in his mother's trailer and always has to care for his little sister, since his mother is an alcoholic, while still trying to make a living and rise in fame as a rapper from Detroit, Michigan. In addition, the man who promised him a record deal and a boost into the music industry was simply using him, Jimmy at some point caught him extremely "affectionate" with his girlfriend who he thought was loyal to him but Jimmy soon realized she just wanted to be famous and since the other man had "contacts" she saw her opportunity there. Once Jimmy confronted the man and broke his nose, the guy sent his "homies" the next night and they left him in a critically injured state,, all the whilst his little sister watched from the window of their trailer.

In my life there was undeserved misfortune when I was trying to help my little brother go to the restroom, since he was about 4 years old, and then the worst happened. Thinking he could handle the rest after I helped him sit on the toilet, I left and waited outside of the restroom but then I heard a scream and I quickly opened the door thinking he had fallen. Turns out he had just dropped the roll of toilet paper and once I gave it back to him he was extremely jolly. As I was exiting the restroom I closed the door and my finger got smashed between the door and the wall which caused for my skin to peel off and it was just hanging and bleeding a lot.

In my opinion there is no idea for a film here because the undeserved misfortune seemed quite irrelevant. On the other hand, this can make for a great comedy on the "Process of Taking are of an Infant" and simply find multiple ways to portray all the trouble parents or babysitters go through when taking care of innocent little children.
