Jimmy Smith Jr. (Eminem), nicknamed “Rabbit," is a white- trash factory worker who lives with his troubled mother (Kim Basinger) and his little sister in a dilapidated Detroit trailer park \on 8 Mile Road, which divides the suburbs from the inner city. \ n this semi-autobiographical story of urban survival. Rabbit is an aspiring rapper, scribbling lyrics on napkins. At one point. Rabbit raps to the tune of Lynyrd Skynyrd’s “Sweet Home Alabama" while repairing his junk car with a friend. After choking with fear during a debut performance at The Shelter, a hip-hop club. Rabbit seeks to muster the courage to face the hostile audience again. While subduing his own per sonal demons, he must confront his mother's abusive boyfriend, a rival rap group bent on vengeance and a close friend’s bitter betrayal. As his life spirals downward. Rabbit finds bittersweet inspi ration from a young aspiring model (Brittany Murphy), who also dreams of escaping Detroit. After his friend’s promises of a record deal fall through. Rabbit realizes the difference between the idle pipe dreams of youth and real opportunities to “seize the music, the moment,” as the movie's theme song says. Shining moments include Rabbit defending a gay factory worker, caring for his little sister and facing his fears of public performance. Both fans and critics of the contentious rapper can enjoy 8 Mile and Eminem's soulful portrayal of an underprivileged rap per’s struggle to survive and take a first step toward seeing his dreams come true.
