The film 8 Mile is from 2002. It is 1 hour 58 minutes long.
It was filmed in Detroit, within the 8 Mile Road that surrounds the central city and marks the boundary between the poor inner city and the rich suburbs. The year is 1995. You will hear a lot of accents in the picture – most of them inner-city dialect inspired by the Southern American accent brought to Detroit by blacks who moved north. It’s not too hard to understand after a while. Many words and expressions appear in the rap music that inspired this film.
This film is rated R for “Restricted” by the Motion Picture Association of American (MPAA). That means anyone under 17 who wanted to see it at a cinema was required to have an “Accompanying Parent or Adult Guardian” along. It was given this rating because it contains “Strong Language, Sexuality, Some Violence and Drug Abuse.” This is not surprising, given that it deals with the inner-city hip hop scene, rap music and gang culture. However, it is not a particularly violent movie. No one is killed. It makes a moral point. And it has a (relatively) happy ending.
