    Although Albert had become a famous film critic when he was young, it was the seven years when he couldn't speak that really improved his life. . . Sometimes illness doesn't break a person, on the contrary, it makes a person. . . PS Let's all give thumbs up in memory of this great grassroots film...

    A terrific documentary that provides a comprehensive and authentic look at the life journey of America's greatest film critic, Roger Ebert. The film does not shy away from Albert's early years of alcoholism, poor taste in love, pride and conceit and other shortcomings, and paints a strong depiction of his family background, career, love, and his struggle against cancer in his later years. What touched me the most was the "love and kill" relationship between Gene Siskel and Ebert....

    Some impressions from Roger Ebert's documentary "Life is like a play" at night: if you love something purely, you will be full of happiness, if you stick to it for a lifetime, you may be able to achieve some results; form your own aesthetic taste and judgment standards, do not superstitious authority and Remain complacent; extreme views are also views, learn to think independently about individual expression, stick to the bottom line in the face of group circles and interests; broaden personal...

    The bright moon embellished his window, and he embellished the dreams of others. Between movies and movie fans, film critics finally have a presence. If Roger Ebert's life is like a play, then this play must be "Cinema...

    Loved all the passages about Ebert and his on-screen partner and professional nemesis Gene Sisko, very lucky to have such a colleague in my life. Perhaps due to space limitations, I would like to see more about Ebert himself and his influence on the entire film critic industry. I wonder if I can find the answer in my autobiography. At the end, I also saw crying blind,...

    From the production point of view, this is a textbook-like American documentary, and the documentary veteran Steve James, who has directed Hoop Dreams, has reached the state of perfection in all aspects. The film has many elements that are destined to be successful: R. Ebert is a TV star who has left a lot of video material; the autobiography of the same name is like a natural script; the scenes in the hospital are very visually and emotionally shocking; it is not a classic It is undoubtedly a...

    An extremely neat and sophisticated, emotionally rich documentary based on Roger Ebert's biography of the same name, focusing on his life, revolving around the various periods of his life as composed of career, being a person, friendship, love and death beautiful movement. In addition to his keen insight, sense of humour and knowledge, his writings actually moved me more emotionally. Those life experiences and things that resonate psychologically, life is really like a drama....

    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

  • Roger Ebert: We're both consious of the passage of time, of it's flow, slipping through our fingers, like a long silk scarf.

  • Rick Kogan: I don't know Pauline Kael. I never knew Pauline Kael, but fuck Pauline Kael. Roger Ebert and Gene Siskel were the most powerful critics of all-time in any realm.
