Gully Boy: A Love Letter to the Streets of Rap

Being a Bollywood fan, I know what the clichés are. Specifically, those that are in the romance/drama genre. Therefore, it is always a breath of fresh air when some individuals can open their horizons and make something which is almost unprecedented. Those individuals in this scenario would be Zoya Akhtar amongst others. Why I only name her is because I have found myself to enjoy particular projects that she concorts. Movies like Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara and Dil Dhadakne Do have given her a good grasp of developing something familiar yet unique. What do I mean by that? The movie ‘Gully Boy’, once I rip it to shreds, would explain it.

Eminem's "BODIED", "8 MILE" and "DEATH NOTE": Movie Essay

Eminem’s ‘Bodied’, ‘8 Mile’ and Death Note: Movie review Last night, I had an epiphany. If I bought Youtube Premium, I can watch Eminem produced ‘BODIED’. So I went into my wallet, dug out my card and got access to the movie. I watched it in the night with no pauses in between. For those of you who don’t know what the movie is all about, it is about battle rap. It’s not rap battles, its more than that. But why would I draw parallels with 8 Mile, a movie starring Eminem himself, and Death Note, a standout anime series about murder and mystery? Lets tackle one at a time shall we? BODIED AND 8 MILE Now there are a lot of parallels I could draw even before watching this movie. Another scrawny white kid learning how to stand out in the crowd of black people. If you think that was incomplete or vague, that’s as far as the similarities go.
