We watched a movie titled �8 mile� last week. The lead actor is Eminem. He is popular with many young people in the world.
The story is about Jimmy Smith. One day, he came to The Shelter Pub and took part in the rap competition. He got stuck in the middle of the competition. Then, he lost his girlfriend and he must to live with his mother. He had never give up. He liked rap and stuck it out. He won the respect and competition at the end.
The movie showed us the lives of young people, demonstrating lead character tried to break though the shackles of his family. He used music to express his anger and fear. I do not think the film is fit for children because there are too many unpolished words in the rap.

I have seen "8mile"
The main character is Eminem. He plays a roll of rap musician.
This movie tell us the life of Eminem...such as his born,his mother, his friends.Sometimes he suffered himself and he want to express this feelings to singing!!
To sing is his life,and his all,I suppose.
If you are going to watch, Please pay attention to his daughter,Heilie.
(Am i wrong her spelling??) Also I recommend you to listen his songs/
"Hailie's song"is so good!!!
