Its a good question, because a movie isnt good or bad based on its politics. Its usually good or bad for other reasons, though you might agree or disagree with its politics. – Roger Ebert
By going to the movies, and because of other things, too, going to college, making a wide variety of friends, moving around traveling, I became a lot more open-minded than the heritage I was born into might have suggested. – Roger Ebert
We can now have action movies with two stars where one might be African American and one might be Asian American. One of them doesnt have to be white, and the other one doesnt have to be the ethnic sidekick. Were way over that. And I think its happening in society, too. – Roger Ebert
If a movie is really working, you forget for two hours your Social Security number and where your car is parked. You are having a vicarious experience. You are identifying, in one way or another, with the people on the screen. – Roger Ebert
