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 movie reviews. There are only more than 10,000 movies, which is beyond the reach of ordinary people. Moreover, when he wrote "Great Movies", he said that every 100 movies in the book he wrote I have read it at least a dozen times, can we have such patience? Or what kind of movies make us "unbearable to think that we will never see them again". This is a popular classic movie and book. From his personal experience, it provides viewing reference for us moviegoers to avoid detours. Of course, everyone has their own tastes and choices. It is very important to cultivate their own movie viewing tastes. You If everyone likes movies like "Little Times", what else do film academies need to do, and do they need to train directors? What kind of movie fans have any kind of movies, such a popular movie is the sadness of real filmmakers, and it is also the misfortune of real film lovers, because who will make those movies that dig out the truth and point to people's hearts. People's time is limited, watching too much rubbish, and not knowing Kui Bao in these movies must be a loss in life. How boring, watching "The Comet Beauty" and seeing how vulgar "The Devil Wears Prada" is, watching "Apocalypse Now" and seeing how naive "Saving Private Ryan" is, watching "Casablanca" Find out how superficial Pearl Harbor is. Fortunately, I have seen all these movies, and I feel the same way. A good movie can make you think and enrich your life experience. I hope people don't chase new blockbusters, stop your hasty footsteps, and look back at the classics that the masters left us. Start with this movie, this book.

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 masterpiece

I have a more vivid understanding of E's life and what kind of person he is. The depiction of the work is relatively marginal, lacking enough serious criticism, and the amount of information is not large enough. It is basically a fan movie. It is sincere and interesting.

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.

Roger Ebert: From the day the Chicago Tribune made Gene Siskel its film critic, we were professional enemies. For the first five years we knew one another, Siskel and I hardly spoke. When Gene and I were asked to work together on a TV show, we both said we'd rather do it with someone else. Anyone else.
