Roger Ebert

review of Django Unchained by Roger Ebert creates thoughts of curiosity, query, and resolution amongst readers while maintaining an impersonal, constructive tone that allows the audience to come to their own conclusion about the film and directing style. “… deus ex machina. I apologize to my many readers who already know it. A "deus," for those few who may not, is a person or device in a story that appears from out of the blue and has a solution to offer.” (Roger Ebert). The purpose of this…

soliloquy, Roger Ebert’s biographical narrative, Kenneth Feinberg’s narrative, and Steve Jobs’ speech they all see the value of life in their own perspectives. Hamlet grew up in a castle in Denmark. Everything was going right in his life, until one afternoon when his father tragically passed away. Just two months later Hamlet’s…

In Shakespeare’s Hamlet, Hamlet is miserable the entire play because he feels sorry for himself and is upset by all of the unfortunate events that have happened to him and feels life is a “tragic story” with no happy ending. Whereas someone like Roger Ebert still manages to see the bright side of things even after all of the bad news he has heard regarding his own life. I believe life is a journey, but it is not about how the journey went along the way that gives us a reason to determine how a…

soliloquy. Looking at Roger Ebert and Steve Jobs, we can see that it is possible to be content with your life even though it may seem like an unrealistic dream to some. Just because you can’t see it now doesn’t mean it doesn’t exist. And it most certainly does not mean you won’t be able to find happiness later down the road. Life is valuable; it just depends on how you choose to look at it. Hamlet does not find life meaningful because he does not have a passion. Roger Ebert, on the other hand,…

symbolism and religious innuendos, but these are often misunderstood or overlooked completely. Cool Hand Luke is rich in symbolism, so it is no surprise that Roger Ebert had to watch the movie a couple of times before understanding the references. The figurative meaning of films may take years to interpret and understand; this is demonstrated through Roger Ebert’s reviews on Cool Hand Luke from 1967…

during their vein of violence and how it all happened. Roger Ebert wrote an opinionated review on what he thought about the film. Ebert believed that they were both nobodies who just loved to have their names in the paper. Ebert uses pathos to capture one’s attention through emotions and shows that the media doesn’t show the amount of agony in crimes today. One could get from the review that Ebert thought the film itself was enjoyable. Ebert believed that the film showed exactly what the world…

life. Because, he doesn’t want to live any longer. People have believed that he has gone mad for this reason. Roger Ebert’s outlook on life, is different from Hamlet’s. Roger, was more optimistic than hamlet. He believed, that everything has a purpose no matter what it is. He was diagnosed with cancer in his jaw, in 2006. This made his life go in a downwards spiral, for a little while. Ebert was on his way home, from his first major surgery and; his carotid artery bursted. All of the doctors,…

analysis perspectives. The films are: Transformers 4 and Passion of the Christ. I will begin with Passion of the Christ and then proceed onwards to Transformers 4. The following critics work will be used: Roger Ebert, Glenn Kenny Part 2: Roger Ebert review Passion of the Christ (Film) In Roger Ebert’s critic he quotes “If ever there was a film with the correct title, ….The Passion of the Christ” a). This makes the audience think that this is a great film, but no, he then gives the Latin…

“Skyfall”, Roger Ebert talks about the innovation that starts right from the first scene which is a typical 007 style. He later compares the old 007 movie style with this one and how in this movie we don’t see Bond operating any automatic devices, instead he is actually running and going manually. He is performing some real life stunts like running on the train and crushing the VW beetles. Though this is an expected stunt in bond’s movie but this is a total different style for a bond movie.…

others I care about. At a young age I understood the concept of death and all the heartache and depression that can come with it. Despite all of the bad things that can happen to a person it is always important to not let that drag you down. In the Roger…
