This time i want to look at a movie called 8 mile. It's a really famous movie known to many teenagers, especially rappers. It's about a white rapper named Eminem. He's really known for being one of the original "white" rapper. What's special about him is he got out of the poverty cycle by rapping, which this movie is about.
To be honest, I haven't watched the whole movie, but I did read the review from http://www.starpulse.com/Movies/8_Mile/Summary/
Eminem grew up in a town where there were mostly blacks, since it is the 8mile, growing up in a trailer house. He was considered a "white trash" being a white person in the neighborhood. At first, he didn't like to rap or shall i say, he was considered horrible since he couldn't rap on the stage. However, later he was beaten up by a group of black people. Because of this, he felt to anger to revenge those guys, and the ideas that he thought up, he made rap songs with them. Then he saw that his friends had sex with eminem's girl friend, and eminem beats them up. His friends got mad and went to a crew asking for them to beat eminem up. In front of eminem's daughter, eminem was beat up with a gun on the guys hand. Although he didn't want her to see it, she did. After this, eminem got really mad and went to a rap battle, and in the rap battle, he destroys the three men in the crew with his words. Then he was recruited by dr.dre and eventually gets out of poverty, the ghetto, and starts a new life.
This is a perfect example of a mass media that's about poverty. The reason why it's perfect is because first of all, Eminem, one of the most famous rapper, is the main character of this movie, attracting many teenagers and rappers. It's just like other movies such as pirates of the carabean, where johnny depp comes out. Many people are interested in how he will act and what the movie will be about feature depp as a main character. Also, a non fictional story that's about a person growing in the ghetto who turned out famous, is very rare. This makes the people even more excited to see the movie. Also, the best reason is it sends out a perfect real life example of a person in poverty, and what it can happen or will happen to people living in poverty
