Eminem films video in Detroit
Eminem recently wrapped shooting a video for "Beautiful," the fourth single from his album "Relapse," according to a press release.
The video, directed by Anthony Mandler, was filmed at several noted Detroit landmarks including the original Tiger Stadium, built in 1912, the old Packard Motor Car Company plant, established in 1903, and the Beaux-Arts train station (Michigan Central Station), which was built in 1913.
The fact that the locations are all past their prime adds to the meaning of the song, Eminem said in a statement. "Tiger Stadium is being torn down, and the train station is supposed to be demolished too," the entertainer said. "I wrote 'Beautiful' when I was really down, during a difficult time struggling with my addiction. It's a reminder to keep your head up, and to see who you really are despite what you may be going through. Now that I've gotten through the toughest part, I see how the song relates to Detroit, and it feels even more powerful to me."
