Reasons why Roger Ebert is the only critic with a statue.

Legend. Film criticism is nothing without his voice.

Indeed! Roger has been quoted several times as saying, "no one sets out to make a bad movie." Can you imagine any other film critic saying that? Most of them, it seems, have their minds made up about a movie before they even see it; They go based purely off of whose involved with it, be it on screen or behind the scenes. Roger recognized how hard and frustrating the task of making a movie could be, and never criticized or praised a movie for the sake of criticizing or praising it.

​@@KrisCreiderwhat about it?

Schneider got into a vocal feud with film critic Patrick Goldstein for his derisive opinion of his films by questioning his fitness to comment because he didn't win any journalistic awards. Another film critic, Roger Ebert, entered the argument by noting that he himself won a Pulitizer Prize for his film criticism and thus felt entitled to say to Schneider, "Your film sucks." Despite the conflict, when Ebert fell seriously ill, Schneider sent a large bouquet of flowers with a note saying "Your least favorite actor, Rob Schneider." Ebert was deeply moved by his gesture and noted that Schneider was a good man despite the quality of his films and hoped to see him in a good film he could praise.

Become more optimistic and accepting of others and you'll start to have a better life.

The fact that the man before Roger described Asian Americans as though they're another species, an idea, not allowed to simply be people, was disgusting. I agree with Roger wholeheartedly.

One of Roger's greatest legacies was in showing HOW to have an informed perspective, a clear point of view, and not apologize for it. He would always state plainly that his opinion was just that, an opinion and you could share it with him or not. The point wasn't having an opinion or not, it was being able to DEFEND your opinion with passion, vigor and love.
