More quotes by Roger Ebert
'Grand Illusion' and 'Rules of the Game' are routinely included on lists of the greatest films, and deserve to be.
Roger Ebert
The Academy is paranoid about its image.
Roger Ebert
You can have a movie with hardly any cuts, or very few cuts, that is fascinating, you can't take your eyes away from it... Look at some of the long takes in Citizen Kane.
Roger Ebert
Artists are rarely members of the popular crowd.
Roger Ebert
James Cameron's films have always been distinguished by ground-breaking technical excellence.
Roger Ebert
It's not often a thriller keeps me wound up as well as 'Headhunters' did. I knew I was being manipulated and didn't care. It was a pleasure to see how well it was being done.
Roger Ebert
But considering that I walked in expecting no complexity at all, let alone the visual wonderments, Snow White and the Huntsman is a considerable experience.
Roger Ebert
Catholic theology accounts for the fact that there's evil in the world. People say, well, how could God let this happen. Well, what God did was set the mechanism in motion and then allow people to do the best they can under the circumstances that they're dealt in order to gain grace and get into heaven.
Roger Ebert
I was born inside the movie of my life. The visuals were before me, the audio surrounded me, the plot unfolded inevitably but not necessarily. I don't remember how I got into the movie, but it continues to entertain me.
Roger Ebert
It's the worst kind of bad film: the kind that gets you all worked up and then lets you down, instead of just being lousy from the first shot.
Roger Ebert
Someone once said the fundamental reason we get married is because have a universal human need for a witness.
Roger Ebert
That's what fantasies are for, to help us imagine that things are better than they are.
Roger Ebert
A corner is important. It provides privacy and an anchor and lets you exist independently of the room.
Roger Ebert
Sometimes, it's all about the casting.
Roger Ebert
I am, beneath everything else, a fan. I was fixed in this mode as a young boy and am awed by people who take the risks of performance.
Roger Ebert
But the fact is, most people are not going to be rich someday.
Roger Ebert
Not everyone needs to be slammed into a category and locked there.
Roger Ebert
If you can act as if something is true, in a sense that makes it true.
Roger Ebert
It's rare to find a film that goes for broke and says, 'To hell with the consequences.'
Roger Ebert
Life is made up of challenges that cannot be solved but only accepted.
