8 Mile4

8 Mile

Let's be honest - the role of Jimmy Smith Jr in 8 Mile isn't exactly a stretch for Eminem. Jimmy, aka Rabbit, is a white-trash boy in a black world, namely the Detroit hip-hop scene circa 1995. He's a borderline-genius freestyle rapper who sees his talent as the only way out of the trailer park where he reluctantly shares a plot with his mother (Kim Basinger). But first he has to learn to suppress his fiery temper, discover his self-confidence and take part in the rap `battle' that could garner him respect, attention and maybe even a record deal.
