Movies absorb our attention more completely, I think. – Roger Ebert
A lot of people just go to movies that feed into their preexisting and not so noble needs and desires: They just go to action pictures, and things like that. – 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
