8 Mile: The Abridged Script
FADE IN:
EXT. DETROIT
EVERYBODY wrongs EMINEM. EMINEM wrongs NOBODY.
EMINEM
All I want is to be a rapper.
People continue wronging EMINEM. Eventually, he realizes the people who wronged him the fewest number of times are his TRUE FRIENDS. He RAPS.
END





Amen.

August 13th, 2007 at 1:23 pmBrilliant. I love going through most of the scripts on this site every few months again and again.
October 30th, 2007 at 10:49 amYep, Rod, you recognised the whole movie was a big cliche. A pretty well executed cliche, but still a cliche.
Kudos.
November 10th, 2007 at 8:15 amUm…more detail, please..?

At something i saw before i read this script. The brevity wasn’t even the problem. The problem was it simply wasn’t funny nor indicative of the movie in any way.
Terrible. Try again!

kudos.
I found it funny, good job.
