8 Mile has a great ending. A lot of Hollywood movies would give the protagonist a fairytale ending but in 8 Mile, he wins the rap battle and then tells his friends he’s going back to work. Makes it a lot more realistic. He had a minor victory, but he’s still poor and has to grind through life, much like the rest of us

[addzee]

The ending makes me cry how he left his friends and DJ was like “he’s gonna be great”

[slavvings]

"I'm goin to work dawg" realest thing a man can ever say

[raulmaldonado]

"I think I just kinda just need do my own thing man" Meaning he has to start his own path and not rely on anybody else. Man that was powerful 👏

[celestialjunipers]

It was a really good movie...

The end made me "wait don't go..."

[lycaneen]

What a sad ending and a happy beginning into a successful career

[a.jthomas]

This movie taught me how to be a man himself and to walk his own path.

[mhtsakosk]

That walking away alone in the cold and slowly fade away gives me goosebumps

[blakeaion]

anyone else get the chills from this scene?

[melvinmathew]

0:53 - the loose yourself intro gives me goosebumps every single time!

The moment you realize you must do something different to yield a different result. Not being satisfied with winning a battle. But knowing you’ve set your sights on winning the war. It’s most sad to see future and how he looks at rabbit walking back to work. Future is a true friend but knows he lacks the ability to elevate his friend any further. He can pin point the moment where rabbit outgrew him and must move on if he’s to be successful. Perfect ending to this movie.

That smile eminem has at the end like he just won the rap battles

[GinoArigo]

And that alleyway was the witness of a legend being born.

[hock]

i love the love and loyalty future and em have :) future has always had his back he even warned him about wink

[MFSkittelDaGod]

I love this movie because it’s not just about one of the greatest rappers ever but it’s also relatable to me and goes through a wide variety of topics

[dreamway]

My brother passed away in 2016 and we always used to say “peace out, rabbit” when we were leaving each other. Miss u bro

[michaelraimo]

I took this as Jimmy realizing he's outgrown his friends. Like he has actual talent and greatness and will stop at nothing to pursue it. Future and all of them want greatness but aren't willing to put the work in, and are comfortable staying in their little world.

[mariovillegas]

You can tell Future's face thinking "my boy made it" then he stop smiling cuz he recognices all the shit b rabbit went thru. Future a real g since day 1 respect ☝

[greenlightcomics]

After that night. That's how Enimem got to where he is now.

[prithvirajsrinivasan]

That smile from future. The piano in the background. Peace out Rabbit. This scene is something else man❤️
