![]() That was the film’s most beautiful moment in my humble opinion.Īlthough there is less of the criticism parts in this film, those are also terrific. But, it became very beautiful and sad when Gene died and when Ebert talked about him when you see how much of a friend he was to him and how much he cared for him. When it started, it was quite troubled and they honestly did not get along well which was somewhat evident in they work together. Speaking of Gene, that is the aspect I liked most in the whole movie, their troubled relationship. It combines the personal life of Roger Ebert with his work along with his relationships and friendship with Gene Siskel. This film is so masterfully well crafted and directed and that is evident throughout the whole movie, right from the beginning. ![]() “ All I require of a religion is that it be tolerant Life Itself is a 2014 documentary film directed by Steve James and it tells the story of one of the most famous, probably the most famous, film critic of all time Roger Ebert. ![]() ![]() ![]() They speak about the sorts of things one might expect: Some recite their histories and turning points, others make observations of life from the outside, and petty ones complain of the treatment of their graves, while few tell how they really died. ![]() Characters include Tom Merritt, Amos Sibley, Carl Hamblin, Fiddler Jones and A.D.

My own contributions to the bicentenary since attending the big conference in the summer have both come to fruition in the last week or so. I did point out to the students presenting in Women & Detective Fiction on November 22 that it was an especially auspicious day, but they didn’t seem convinced or otherwise excited. Though I suppose in a technical way the bicentenary year really ended with George Eliot’s birthday on November 22, why stop celebrating before we have to? My only regret is that I’m not actually teaching any of her novels this term–in fact, because of my sabbatical, I haven’t taught any George Eliot in 2019 at all! Shocking!

"It's tempting to read this as the classic story of how the Union Army freed the slaves, and the dead soldiers as the cost of that freedom," says history professor Steve Kantrowitz. Recently-freed slaves crowd around, while in the background the Union army marches off victorious, in perfect formation. At his feet lie two soldiers: one Confederate, one Union. The central figure - a black man with arms upheld - is almost 11 feet tall. "The Freeing of the Slaves" adorns the north Reading Room wall of the UW Law Library on Bascom Hill.
