Scott, Roger Simon<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Screened at:\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Review 2, NYC, 6\/18\/14<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Opens:\u00a0 July 4, 2014<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Of all recognizable film critics, Roger Ebert was not the deepest thinker, the hippest writer, the best looking, or the one most willing to upset every consensus of opinion.\u00a0 For this last quality, think of contrarian Armond White of City Arts. For hip writing, there\u2019s Stephanie Zacharek of <em>The Village Voice<\/em>, then Rex Reed of the <em>New York Observer<\/em> for looks, and perhaps David Thomson of <em>The New Republic<\/em> for depth of analysis.\u00a0 How, then, do we account for Ebert\u2019s becoming the most popular of all, not just in Chicago or America, but globally wherever films are shown?\u00a0 Whatever Steve James\u2019s stunning documentary does show about this iconic figure, it does not evoke a eureka moment in which the viewer says, \u201cAha, that\u2019s why Roger Ebert is a household word!\u201d\u00a0 But \u201cLife Itself,\u201d which comes from Ebert\u2019s own memoir, is put together brilliantly, the interviews anything but a kaleidoscope of sleep-inducing talking heads.\u00a0 Steve James proves as few other documentarians do that you don\u2019t need Michael Moore or Morgan Spurlock to make an entertaining non-fiction film.<\/p>\n<p>True enough, this is not satiric or particularly humorous, but rather gives us a picture as no other medium can of Ebert\u2019s humanity.\u00a0 We already know he had the smarts, as did his teammate on the long-running PBC TV show Siskel &amp; Ebert Sneak Previews.\u00a0 By catching the critic on his annual excursions to a conference on world affairs we can see that he was one of the most articulate of analysts.\u00a0 And from the editorials he fired off since taking on the role of honcho of his college paper, the Daily Ilini, he was a liberal: pro civil rights at a time that this concept was put to the test.\u00a0 Nor would he tolerate a vulgar ad scheduled for the page just before the news about John F. Kennedy\u2019s assassination.\u00a0 He literally stopped the presses (just like in the movies) and declared that the edition was not going out to the streets.<\/p>\n<p>A good deal of the doc is spent with Ebert in the hospital where he had to undergo several major operations for cancer, first of the spine which put him in a wheelchair, then of the thyroid in which much of his jaw was removed leaving him open-mouthed, unable to eat or drink, and needing daily help to have his throat painfully suctioned out of liquid.<\/p>\n<p>Ebert was no saint.\u00a0 During his early years as a reporter, then a film reviewer with the Chicago Sun-Times, he drank with his buddies in the local bar for hours each day, leading him to battle his alcoholism which, in turn, led him to the Alcoholics Anonymous chapter where he met his wife, Chaz.\u00a0 The more we see Ebert with his wife Chaz in the hospital, the more we see what a devoted couple they were. She would visit, sometimes\u00a0 with folks from her own family daily, making sure the staff did all that was required, though she admits that since Ebert was an only child, he was probably accustomed to the<br \/>\nattention.<\/p>\n<p>Interviews are conducted with A.O. Scott, chief critic of the NY Times, plus an assortment of people from various fields including critic Jonathan Rosenbaum of the Chicago Reader, documentarian Werner Herzog, with Marlene Iglitzen, who was married to Gene Siskel, and with filmmaker Martin Scorsese.\u00a0 All-too-brief clips are shown of the films that Ebert liked, particularly Bonnie &amp; Clyde which he called a breakthrough in filmmaking.<\/p>\n<p>I would have liked the doc to be more than a puff piece, to include some of the critics of Siskel &amp; Ebert\u2019s thumbs-up, thumbs-down style, which some sniff has vulgarized critical analysis.\u00a0 Conspicuously absent was John Simon, for example, who referred to the two showmen as \u201cThumb and Thumber.\u201d\u00a0 But this is a minor cavil considering the emotional footage that Ebert allowed Steve James during the last four months of the critic\u2019s life.<\/p>\n<p><strong>118 minutes.\u00a0 \u00a9 2014 by Harvey Karten, Member, New York Film Critics Online.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Story \u2013 A-<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Acting \u2013 A-<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Technical \u2013 A-<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Overall \u2013 A-<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.shockya.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/Life-Itself-Movie1.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.shockya.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/Life-Itself-Movie1.jpg\" alt=\"Life Itself Movie\" width=\"600\" class=\"alignleft size-full wp-image-144074\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.shockya.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/Life-Itself-Movie1.jpg 622w, https:\/\/www.shockya.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/Life-Itself-Movie1-300x198.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 622px) 100vw, 622px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Title: Life Itself Magnolia Pictures Reviewed for Shockya by Harvey Karten.
