How does The Booth feel about the movie "8 Mile"

[Fresh]

8 Mile was nothing but a rap version of Rocky III

 

[⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐]

Should’ve lost in the first one and made a sequel like Rocky

 

[DontEemTry]

Kinda corny but I fukked with it back then

 

[Artificial Intelligence]

Bought it on dvd day one.

 

[Harry B]

The most memorable thing about the movie was that a white man was dissing a black man for coming from a two parent household.

That wouldn’t pass today unless only akademiks saycheese Yeezy crowd watched it

“Now everybody from the 313
Put your muthafukkin hands and follow me
Everybody from the 313
Put your muthefukkin hands up
Look Look

Now while he stands tough
Notice that this man did not put his hands up
This free world got you gased up
Now who's afraid of the big bad wolf”

Somebody got shot at the Detroit premiere at Bel Air Theater

The movie was about as authentic as Detroit was at the time we liked it.

Detroit was gutter af in the 2000’s

Man Eminem Stans act like the shyt happened in real life. Anthony Mackie is an actor, you can’t even go to his interviews comments section without the stans bringing up a fictional ass rap battle.

I like Eminem but I loathe his Stans.

 

[EastsideRio]

Good film. Down to earth with a humble story.

Don't see how dudes can hate on em. Y'all talk like he came from Utah or LA. He came from Detroit and a trailer park at that. Y'all gotta be pitiful human beings

That’s the thing, it is not and has never been one single Trailer Park within Detroit city limits. That’s the confusing part to outsiders.

Detroit got housing projects not trailers dog.

 

[RickyDiBiase]

It's a funny ass movie.

 

[Meowth tote da Uzi]

Havent watched that shyt since the year it came out. It was a cool lil flick, however its nothing i would watch or want to show anybody.

“A Detroit man who appeared in the Eminem movie “8 Mile” is recovering after being shot in the stomach on the film’s opening night. Ali Miyzaan, 26, said he was shot about 11:30 p.m. Nov. 8 in the parking lot of Phoenix Theaters, which is on Eight Mile road in Detroit.

He said a group of men was trying to rob high school students, striking them with sticks and boards. “I sat there for a minute watching, but I couldn’t stand to see it anymore,” Miyzaan told the Detroit Free Press. “I was really just trying to stop it.”

He said the men gave him a concussion and that he was sitting on the ground when a man walked up and shot him. Officers said they heard at least five gunshots as they approached the theater, said Glen Woods, a Detroit police spokesman. No arrests have been made.

Miyzaan is a local rapper. He appears in “8 Mile,” but doesn’t have a speaking role.

As previously reported, “8 Mile” was the No. 1 film in the U.S. after its debut last weekend, while its Shady/Interscope soundtrack tops The Billboard 200 for a second straight week. Eminem’s single “Lose Yourself” tops the Hot 100 for a third.”
