8 Mile

I finally got around to seeing 8 mile. It was decent, but it lacked in the whole conflict - resolution thing. At least to me. The conflict that they were trying to push, social standing & confidence, wasn't pushed enough for me. There were other conflicts that stuck out more.

There was also a few unexplained things that bothered me. His girlfriend that he leaves, what was with that? If he hates living with his mom so much, why did he leave her, with the car no less? Brittany Murphy seemed kind of randomly placed. Her whole role was to tell him he was going to make it. Isn't that what Future was for?

As far as Eminem acting, he was fine. He had easy competition.

I don't necessarily need a movie to end with everything fine and dandy. If there isn't much carrying the movie though, it helps.
