"8 Mile is a story about these boundaries that define our lives, and a young man's struggle to find the strength and courage to transcend them."

No matter where we live, no matter who we are, we are all bound by borders.. .some real, some imagined.

Many of us are content to live within these borders. Others are forced to. But some of us need to break out, burst through, even if what lies on the other side is both frightening and unknown.

Everyone has his own 8 mile. Jimmy finds his voice, beginning to find his way and a will to pursue the new roads that will take him beyond the boundaries he can no longer live within.


Like Eminem said. Find the inner strength and pull that sh*t out of you.

Some people say that Eminem made money from his miserable life. But this movie is semi-autobiographical. Besides, how many people can cross the boundaries?

At least Eminem did it. Rabbit did it.

You pay for this sh*t cuz you think this sh*t is cool. :)

Guys, get a life.

    I'm very impatient with this way of constructing a female image. I'm impatient with this kind of music. Let's call it music for the time being. I am also very impatient with this initiation story, especially the so-called success at the end...

    if you had one shot or one opportunity to seize everything you wanted in one moment, would you capture it or just let it slip...

8 Mile quotes

  • B. Rabbit: [rapping] ... Don't ever try to judge me dude / You don't know what the fuck I've been through / But I know something about you / You went to Cranbrook - that's a private school / What's the matter, dog? / You're embarrassed? / This guy's a gangster? / His real name is Clarence / Now Clarence lives at home wit both parents / And Clarence parents have a real good marriage...

    Sol: I ain't gettin' back in that piece of shit... it's a death trap.
