Life Itself

Steve James loving tribute to Roger Ebert. Ebert had his flaws but at his death he was world renowned and recognized as the country's pre-eminent film critic of his time. And by all accounts he was congenial, generous with his time and a wonderful spokesman for those of us who are passionate about films.

He wrote well...and fast.  His thoughts on films and his deep love for film as an art form helped raise its value in the public's mind.

I didn't care for the hospital footage. I know why it was included but I found it too troubling to watch.

RIP Roger. We'll see you at the movies.
