Text Quotes
The buried code of many American films has become: If I kill you, I have won and you have lost. The instinctive ethical code of traditional Hollywood, the code by which characters like James Stewart, John Wayne and Henry Fonda lived, has been lost (Roger Ebert Quotes)
Wes Anderson’s mind must be an exciting place for a story idea to be born. It immediately becomes more than a series of events and is transformed into a world with its own rules, in which everything is driven by emotions and desires as convincing as they are magical (Roger Ebert Quotes)
What a terrible thing it would be to be the Pope! What unthinkable responsibilities to fall on your shoulders at an advanced age! No privacy. No seclusion. No sin (Roger Ebert Quotes)
Why has Scandinavia been producing such good thrillers? Maybe because their filmmakers can’t afford millions for CGI and must rely on cheaper elements like, you know, stories and characters (Roger Ebert Quotes)
Battlefield Earth is like taking a bus trip with someone who has needed a bath for a long time. It’s not merely bad; it’s unpleasant in a hostile way (Roger Ebert Quotes)
Going to see Godzilla at the Palais of the Cannes Film Festival is like attending a satanic ritual in St. Peter’s Basilica (Roger Ebert Quotes)
There is a movie called Fargo playing right now. It is a masterpiece. Go see it. If you, under any circumstances, see Little Indian, Big City, I will never let you read one of my reviews again (Roger Ebert Quotes)
No movie featuring either Harry Dean Stanton or M. Emmet Walsh in a supporting role can be altogether bad (Roger Ebert Quotes)
The time in between my clapping is ma. If you just have non-stop action with no breathing space at all, it’s just busyness, But if you take a moment, then the tension building in the film can grow into a wider dimension. If you just have constant tension at 80 degrees all the time you just get numb (Roger Ebert Quotes)
How quickly do we grow accustomed to wonders. I am reminded of the Isaac Asimov story Nightfall, about the planet where the stars were visible only once in a thousand years. So awesome was the sight that it drove men mad. We who can see the stars every night glance up casually at the cosmos and then quickly down again, searching for a Dairy Queen (Roger Ebert Quotes)
Under no circumstances will I ever purchase anything offered to me as the result of an unsolicited e-mail message. Nor will I forward chain letters, petitions, mass mailings, or virus warnings to large numbers of others. This is my contribution to the survival of the online community (Roger Ebert Quotes)
Why is it that English, drama and music teachers are most often recalled as our mentors and inspirations? Maybe because artists are rarely members of the popular crowd (Roger Ebert Quotes)
The Bucket List is a movie about two old codgers who are nothing like people, both suffering from cancer that is nothing like cancer, and setting off on adventures that are nothing like possible. I urgently advise hospitals: Do not make the DVD available to your patients; there may be an outbreak of bedpans thrown at TV screens (Roger Ebert Quotes)
Jane Austen wrote six of the most beloved novels in the English language, we are informed at the end of Becoming Jane, and so she did. The key word is beloved. Her admirers do not analyze her books so much as they just plain love them to pieces (Roger Ebert Quotes)
You can’t just tell actors, especially young ones, to ‘act happy’ and expect them to do it. They must in some essential way be happy (Roger Ebert Quotes)
Some movies run off the rails. This one is like the train crash in The Fugitive. I watched it in mounting gloom, realizing I was witnessing something historic, a film that for decades to come will be the punch line of jokes about bad movies (Roger Ebert Quotes)
I am proudly a liberal. I am also patriotic, reasonable, pro-American, and stand for family values. (Roger Ebert Quotes)
Since any reasonable person would choose a Mac over a PC, Apple’s market share provides us with an accurate reading of the percentage of reasonable people in our society. (Roger Ebert Quotes)
What every human being should do is eat a vegetarian diet based on whole foods. Period. That’s it. Animal protein is bad for you. Dairy is bad for you. Forget the ads: Milk and eggs are bad for you. (Roger Ebert Quotes)
In the world of bad movies, ‘Death to Smoochy’ is a towering achievement (Roger Ebert Quotes)
Sometimes miraculous films come into being, made by people you’ve never heard of, starring unknown faces, blindsiding you with creative genius. (Roger Ebert Quotes)
Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter’ is without a doubt the best film we are ever likely to see on the subject - unless there is a sequel, which is unlikely, because at the end, the Lincolns are on their way to the theater. (Roger Ebert Quotes)
Just write, get better, keep writing, keep getting better. It’s the only thing you can control. (Roger Ebert Quotes)
When I had been a film critic for ten minutes, I treated Doris Day as a target for cheap shots. I have learned enough to say today that the woman was remarkably gifted. (Roger Ebert Quotes)
Film has become a marketed commodity, and the opportunities and audiences for art cinema have grown smaller. There is a general downturn in cultural literacy, perhaps because of television. (Roger Ebert Quotes)
Valentines Day is being marketed as a Date Movie. I think its more of a First-Date Movie. If your date likes it, do not date that person again. And if you like it, there may not be a second date. (Roger Ebert Quotes)
I was perfectly content before I was born, and I think of death as the same state. What I am grateful for is the gift of intelligence, and for life, love, wonder, and laughter. You can’t say it wasn’t interesting. My lifetime’s memories are what I have brought home from the trip. (Roger Ebert Quotes)
One sign of a great actor is when he can be alone by himself on the screen, doing almost nothing, and producing one of a film’s defining moments. (Roger Ebert Quotes)
When I go to a great movie, I can live somebody else’s life a little bit for a while. I can walk in somebody else’s shoes. I can see what it feels like to be a member of a different gender, a different race, a different economic class, to live in a different time, to have a different belief. (Roger Ebert Quotes)
Steven Spielberg makes Minority Report with the newest digital technology; other directors seem to be trying to make their movies from it. (Roger Ebert Quotes)
