As the documentary says, it was through him that the American people's attitude towards movie watching began to become less frivolous. And when he was young, he always talked about the Pulitzer Prize, and it can be seen that he is such a person with a sincere temperament and...

[Beijing Film Festival Screening] A biographical documentary of the famous film critic Roger Ebert. It focuses on two periods when he and Gene Siskel hosted a film critic TV show and fell seriously ill in their later years. Showing off his legendary relationship with Jean Siskel, foe and friend, his love for his wife, and his openness to death. Although it's rather sensational, it did make me choked up a few times. It's a pity that I didn't dig too much into the depth of Roger's film reviews....

[720p. Chinese and English subtitles - Treehouse subtitles] Ebert's experience tells us that one of the great joys of a film critic's life is tearing. Personally, I'm very concerned about what prompted him to change Lynch's works, but unfortunately it's just a...

Rich and interesting. A lot of video items information just matched the content of the book. There is almost no repetition between the book and the movie, and the expression and emphasis are different. After all, one is the old man who analyzes himself by himself, and the other is the description of others from a third perspective, which complement each other. It's also interesting to look at all beings in the American era. "Life itself" should be retained in accordance with the original...

Quite vividly shows the life of Roger Ebert, including the relationship with his old partner Gene Siskel, who is also a friend and foe, and his relationship with his wife. As the film draws to a close, Ebert's life gradually withers, but he still presents an optimistic attitude and a proper sense of humor. This rich emotional expression allows us to see Ebert outside the film critic, and life itself is the most Wonderful...

Even for fans (?) who don't know Roger Ebert, this is a moving and sincere masterpiece. The power of the film is that it is not immune to the after-movie feeling, but it is much more peaceful and calm. The most moving passage is the rivalry and mutual sympathy between Ebert and Siskel. Ebert's life is every fan's dream, and he will always be there. See you in the...

Everyone expects him to speak for the movie, and he lives in his own movie. This is an excellent book about the creative career of a film...

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.
