8 Mile speaks of using music against pain
For those who find themselves constantly battling with depression, it may be wise to find a method of spiritual healing that can effectively fill the mind with positive thoughts. This is in essence the principle of Brain Wave Vibration, which leverages the power of music – and other mood-boosting elements – to ward away negative thoughts.
Music is a force that can save people from themselves. Nowhere is this better expressed than in the 2002 film 8 Mile, which details a rap star's rise to fame from the slums in Detroit, Michigan, as he battles external and internal forces to achieve success.
Lead actor Eminem stresses that the movie isn't strictly autobiographical, although many consider it to at least be influenced by many aspects of the artist's life. It begins with the tale of Jimmy Smith (Eminem) as he works at a factory job and tries to gain acceptance among his peers.
The film was received well, both critically and commercially, with critics generally praising Eminem's performance as an actor. Roger Ebert awarded it three out of four stars and said that he wouldn't mind seeing a sequel that showed Smith's rise to fame.
