Roger Ebert: “I’ll see you at the movies.”
Film critic and thumb-wielding cultural icon Roger Ebert has passed away after a long bout with cancer. Ebert had already won a Pulitzer Prize in 1975, the first film critic to do so, before vaulting to national prominence with his home town film critic rival, Gene Siskel of the Chicago Tribune, on their popular film review show, “At the Movies”.
A clear and insightful writer, Ebert managed to balance the high and low well, with historical essays on important and obscure films as well as reviews of more mainstream Hollywood fare. In the online era, Ebert’s archive of film reviews is a treasure trove for film buffs. Take a look at the his Great Movies list – hours of reading, with even more hours of watching to follow.
“I learned to be a movie critic by reading Mad magazine,” wrote Ebert. “Mad’s parodies made me aware of the machine inside the skin—of the way a movie might look original on the outside, while inside it was just recycling the same old dumb formulas.”
To explore further:
