Film Review: 8 Mile
This film follows the life of a redneck called Jimmy Smith Junior, who decides the nickname “Bunny Rabbit” is best suited for him (this sums up how much of an idiot he is).
The start of the film shows “Bunny Rabbit” in a basement and he is taking part in a rap battle. His opponent has just finished rapping, “Bunny Rabbit” gets the microphone and as he goes to rap he chokes… he just realised he’s the only white person in the basement and if he doesn’t get his pale buttocks out of there pronto he is going to get… well, lets just say, once you go black, you going to need a wheelchair.
He manages to escape.
Throughout the rest of the film, he starts to build his confidence. But that is only happening because he is surrounded by a bunch of morons. Which makes him feel smart.
At the end of the film, he goes back to the same basement where he choked at the start of the film. Again, his opponent has just finished rapping and “Bunny Rabbit” gets the microphone and as he goes to rap… he doesn’t choke. He only goes and insults himself, his mother, his job, and every single one of his friends (who are all standing in the front row). When he is finally finished, everyone cheers for him, because they realise if they don’t, he’ll probably kill himself.
The end scene involves “Bunny Rabbit” hugging all his friends he just insulted not only 10 minutes ago and he walks off down a dark alley way…
Where he’ll hopefully be shot.
