    After reading "The Great Movie", I didn't expect to meet again on film. The road to fandom of the big guy is always legendary. Maybe Roger's worldliness is too heavy, but he has really made a lot of unpopular films. Watching him and Gene being torn apart on the show, the deep love in my heart also made me...

    He is not an American film critic of the same era. He does not watch movies through his film reviews. He lacks the foundation of empathy, so the whole movie feels very lengthy. Of course, I still think Roger Ebert is an honest, loving, approachable good...

    Is it because life is like a play, or is the movie too neat? Complete, impeccable! !...

    2014.7.26/7.27 The reason why people are great is not because of what kind of person you are, only those around you can feel it. The greatness of a man lies in what he has done and what he has left behind. Can't judge this documentary objectively, didn't see what I wanted to see, but roger did become great for what he did.

    "The purpose of civilization and growth is to reach out and empathize a little bit with other people. For me the movies are like a machine that generates empathy. It lets you understand a little bit more about different hopes, aspirations, dreams and fears....

    great movie

    Roger Ebert, American film critic and screenwriter, is the only Pulitzer Prize winner for writing film reviews. This is his own documentary. He died of illness last year. After reading it, I found his book "The Great Movie". He watched more than 10,000 movies in his life, and wrote more than 3,000...

    about life itself

    The opening 30 minutes of "Life Is Like a Play" are not very engaging. As a documentary about dead celebrities, the director did not use the usual flashbacks, but used Roger Ebert's days in the hospital throughout. A non-linear narrative approach to its growth process. Until 40 minutes later, I...

Life Itself quotes

  • [Director Steve James is filming Roger in the hospital where he's just shown him the new chair he will use]

    Steve James: So Roger, did you not pay your insurance premiums, and so you didn't get the chair till now?

    Roger Ebert: [through voice synthesizer on his laptop] Steve, I'll do the jokes here.

  • Roger Ebert: When I mentioned in my blog that I could no longer eat, drink, or speak, a reader wrote, "Do you miss it?" Not so much, really. I lived in a world of words long before I was aware of it. The new reality took shape slowly. My blog became my voice, my outlet. It let loose the flood of memories. They came pouring forth in a flood of relief.
