It's strange, but when I read Roger Ebert's essays, I don't hear his voice. I hear my own thoughts reflected back at me, even when I don't agree with them. To me, that's what separated him from virtually all of his contemporaries, before and after. The sheer quality of his writing and ability to eloquently and concisely communicate his criticism.

Never again has a critic existed that speaks with such pure love of, and intelligence about, honest to God cinema - and yet somehow keeps his reviews accessible to mainstream audiences. Even when he backs something like "Crash," his reviews are so clear that you *almost* start to see what he's getting at.

God I use to look forward to Ebert and Roeper every week. 6:30 PM, ABC, Sunday nights… The best half hour of television for me every single week. I was a bit too young to appreciate the days of Gene Siskel, but Ebert was there to cultivate my love of film. Deeply, deeply missed…

To me, Roger Ebert never seemed snobby, as his detractors even today usually make him out to be(mostly because he didn't like a favorite movie of theirs), but he seemed like a genuine movie fan that would put every film he watches in proportion to the genre. For example, he would never knock a movie because it isn't on the level of a Kurosawa or Kubrick movie, but he would knock it if he thought it didn't achieve the task it was trying to do. He even liked some movies that could be classified as "schlock" and he disliked others. I feel like some people get the wrong impression from reading clickbait headlines about negative reviews he made decades ago about some movies now considered Classics, without ever actually reading it or listening to his show. With that being said, many times I have disagreed with Ebert and many times I've agreed, but at the end of the day, it's always great to hear other perspectives on films, especially when it's coming from someone as passionate about the subject as Ebert was.

I agree to a point, but what I found annoying with him was how he would play the white knight for actors or the movie audience. His bizarre over-reaction of Rossellini's performance in Blue Velvet is a bit much. He treats a grown woman as though she's some naïve young girl who didn't know what they were getting into. It's down right sexist when you think about it. I do miss Siskel and Ebert, though. Even if I didn't always agree with them, they at the very least had something interesting to say.

Nice to see him standing up for Coppola's The Conversation (1974) 😸_👍 That _fantastic_ paranoid thriller just got _crushed_ between his first two Godfather pictures, and it's a DAMN shame! - Never seen Farewell my Concubine (1993) and Rosetta (1999) ....Gonna fix that right now!

I generally agree with Roger's takes. Not always.. but most of the time. It's hard to believe that Siskel didn't like Apocalypse Now, or that anyone who is a film critic wouldn't have liked Apocalypse Now..

He’s dead wrong about Wild at Heart and David Lynch. There are only three films he didn’t write himself and this one happens to have a happy ending. No one was laughing after Sailor kills the assassin, sicko. It’s meant to be horrifying! 🤦🏼♀️ Never forget Ebert’s only foray in film was writing Beyond Valley of the Dolls.

@@bredfr1052 i understand where you are coming from- i happen to like that movie a lot and i think the script is a huge reason for that. there are plenty of modern "directors" whose opinion i value much less than roger's but of course you are correct, he doesn't have a massive filmography to back up his takes. i do think hes a relic of a era that no longer exists: one where taste-makers bring higher brow cinema to the masses and indirectly "raise the bar." i think the problem with the movie industry nowadays is not a lack of good directors but a lack of good audience memebers
