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
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
I begin to feel like most Americans dont understand the First Amendment, dont understand the idea of freedom of speech, and dont understand that its the responsibility of the citizen to speak out. – Roger Ebert
