Well, you know what, Im 60 years old, and Ive been interested in politics since I was on my daddys knee. During the 1948 election, we were praying for Truman. I know a lot about politics. – 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
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
