Review of 8 Mile (2002) by Colton L — 09 Sep 2014

I didn't expect much with this film, but was overwhelmingly surprised. Though some of the characters and subplots seem insignificant at the time, they all tie into the lyrics of the songs throughout the film, not just Eminem's solos.

This film won the Oscar for best original track, and even though it appears only in the last few seconds, it weaves together both the plot we have seen and the artist's internal struggle with its narrative.
