    Just like the Latin proverb in the film says, Roger Ebert's face is his soul, whether it's the naive smile in his youth or the mutilated face devastated by the disease in his old age, he always relies on us. The enormous power of imagination to hold on to everything he has always loved. Alcohol, women, struggles and friendship with lifelong rival and friend Jean Siskel. He has also been lost in life, he has...

    It is a silhouette of roger, in which the relationship with siskel, the fight against cancer in his later years, and blog are the main points, but it is not a review of his carreer, and I feel very disappointed. Not much fun for someone like me who isn't interested in biography. However, it is worth mentioning that the theme song is very good, and the saxophone's tune has a sarcastic atmosphere of ebert, which is very...

    Is it really good to shoot such a film in this way? I feel bad. That's not how Roger's greatness and brilliance should be expressed. I feel that what this film finally tells us, no matter how powerful you are, is no match for a terminal illness. But you have to find the love of your life (career and significant other) that will enable you to remain optimistic and continue to create value in your final days. That's all, it turned out to be such an inspirational...

Life Itself quotes

  • [first lines]

    Roger Ebert: We all are born with a certain package. We are who we are. Where we were born, who we were born as, how we were raised. We're kind of stuck inside that person... and the purpose of civilization and growth, is to be able to reach out and empathize a little bit with other people. And 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. It helps us to identify with the people who are sharing this journey with us.

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