This movie is about a man named Jimmy Smith (Eminem) who is struggling with different aspects of his life. Jimmy is trying to start a career in rap music, but many conflicts come his way in the process. From the start, he has to deal with his mother that’s an alcoholic, and has to take care of his sister that he loves dearly. Before the film, he had just broken up with his pregnant girlfriend and then started to mess around with another girl during the movie whom he met at his job. In the film, it shows a sex scene of him and this girl, having sex out in public for the most part. Also, the movie includes violence between his rivals “Leaders of the Free World.” Jimmy uses the rap battles to get revenge on those who victimized him. Overall the movie had a good plot, but it expressed a lot of strong language, sexuality, and some violence and drug. One thing that came to mind was that even though this movie is rated R, many children will be watching this movie because they see Eminem(Jimmy in the movie) as an idol. Even though they see him as an idol, it wouldn’t be beneficial to copy some of the acts that were shown in this movie. To excessively use strong language wouldn’t be good to use in today’s society if you want to get somewhere. The movie showed me that you have to deal with violence, bad mothers that do drugs, and have sex in public to become recognized and become a good rapper.
Is the sex and drug use glamorized in the film? This would contribute to the child's perception.
