- Here is Roger Ebert doing what he does best, responding to another person's review of Better Luck Tomorrow. This is Ebert in top form, showing a passion for film performances that made him famous.
Respect to Justin Lin and his crew for the content. Support his movies.

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?
Roger Ebert was the real deal. An extraordinary mind and film aficionado who, at the same time, spoke to everyone. RIP.
And the guy who said Die Hard was a bad movie
@@sleuthentertainment5872 Ebert hated "Die Hard" and "Usual Suspects," two of my favorite movies. And yet Ebert's STILL my favorite critic.
Remember, he NEVER claimed his reviews were anything but his personal opinion. He felt movie criticism HAD to be subjective, so we, the readers, could make our own decisions based on his honest viewpoint.
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.
+rambo wow, you can read wikipedia? good for you!
atleast i tried
Thanks for that comment! I didn't know that before.
Any year now, Rob
@@ClydeNut Dickish comment, from a *total prick*
ebert's most badass moment. the only critic who's opinion i trusted & respected.
He failed at writing movies
Dottiecurran he wrote a movie that got produced. How is this failing?
Todd Polt He (it?) wrote failed trash like "Who Killed Bambi". Ever see it? Like "Vixens Up", cheap smut. Yet he knocked others work. The critic has critics so deal with it
+Dottiecurran I'm sure you've probably said at some time in your life that you hated a film. Have you ever written, directed or produced a film? I doubt it. You don't have to be a director, writer, producer etc to critique a film.
Solarstar10 Kitty, Here is a person who wanted to write screenplays (fatso Ebert) yet produced only failed sexist trash. He had no style or grace yet he advised total losers on what to watch. You are welcome to him or it. And he was so low that he sought publicity ( he couldn't on on talk shows to promote a book because of cancer) knocking a newly dead actor for being the drunk Ebert was. Before the family could bury him. Ebert appeals to nerds like himself, shut ins who are rejects in life. I will critique the critic.
Over the years, I've always had this clip at the back of my mind when creating my own art. I often struggle with whether to 'represent' my own people, when what I really want to represent is _myself._
Having someone as respected as Roger Ebert literally stand up and say "You have the right to be whoever the hell you want to be!" is damn affirming stuff.
People like that first guy will ALWAYS see you as "one of your people," separate and apart from "his people," no matter WHAT you do. The best thing you can do for yourself is BE yourself, for your own sake and the sake of "your ACTUAL people" (i.e., humanity).
RIP Roger Ebert the greatest of all film critics
and you look as good as it did
I would never go out with a guy who looked to someone else to decide if a movie was good. Especially when that someone else wrote the most sleazy porn , would do anything for attention and looked like Roger Ebert. As far as his being against racism, as a young man he supported apartheid.
Neuroneos
He was and still is my favorite. RIP
"as a young man he supported apartheid" Factually untrue.
Soy fairy: learn before you post. Ebert defied UN sanctions to go to South West Africa, an apartheid colony at the time.
Roger Ebert's Finest Hour.
Whether I agreed or disagreed with Gene and Roger, I was entertained and they would always explain why they saw the film the way that they did. Legends.
he's 100% correct.
And 100 per cent a drunken hypocrite too
I prefer the videos of him with half a face
Ebert fucked more chicks in one month of his prime than you had in your live, Hand Solo.
fucking and ebert look alikes beating off here on Sat night don't go together
Please fat Ebert, tell us your important view of the movie so your loser fanboys can gossip about it while licking your bloated arse
He gets it. This is a good response to the “model minority stigma”.
By trying to help out Asian Americans the first guy was actually putting them into his own box of what they permitted to do.
Its a lot better than the criminal minority stigma.
Too true. They should gleefully assimilate to our hedonistic, nihilistic, transgressive cinematic norms. May empty, yet self-aggrandizing, Western ideology conquer and colonize the globe by any means necessary.
@@savedfaves typical leftist approach...all heart, no head.
@@devonhughes3805 virgin leftist vs chad liberal
The film they’re talking about is “Better Luck Tomorrow.” It’s about a group of high-performing Asian-American high school students who undertake to corner the drug trade at their school, figuring correctly that as long they keep their grades up no one will suspect them and their parents won’t notice their odd behavior. It’s quite good.
Its not really. It's like boondock saints. A bad film overrated by people with no taste.
CORRECTION! the film in question is FAST AND THE FURIOUS MINUS ONE: Better Luck Tomorrow.
Film criticism will never be the same without Roger Ebert. He was a unique talent - a genius, really - who invested his reviews with passion, enthusiasm, condemnation, and humor. He told it like it was, from his point of view, and never sold out to Hollywood interests. Movie reviews are poorer for his absence.
You can wax endlessly about this turd Ebeast but people younger than myself have mostly never heard of it
He looked like the chuckle head puppet
^Why are you always going around with your multiple accounts bashing the guy for no reason? Get a life man holy shit.
E beast aka jawless fatso tried to write movies . All were shit
So suddenly out of no where someone who wasn't in this thread decides to conveniently appear in the comments. Lmao such an obvious alt account. I studied Psychology and I can tell you that whenever you judge someone in that way, it's a reflection of yourself and your own insecurities. This is a mechanism humans use to deal with insecurity and make themselves feel good about themselves temporarily, coming from the ego. All you're proving is how insecure you are and how little of a life you have. Seriously, you've been going at it here for 3+ years. Become more optimistic and accepting of others and you'll start to have a better life.
One of my favorite clips of Roger Ebert, who would've been 73 today. It reminds me of why I respected him so much, because he was so brave, and always stood up for what he believed in. Happy Birthday Roger. I wish your family well.
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. How demeaning to suggest that Asian Americans are obligated to present people with their ethnicity in a certain way.
And no one really cares what fatso said anymore . The films of Roger Ebert : " Who Killed Bambi" and " Vixens Up" . He sought any spotlight even appearing on TV deformed and , although he was an admitted alcoholic, tweeting against another drunk before the family could even bury him
Well, he scored more ass in his life than you'll ever see, plus he won a Pulitzer. Which you never will, obviously.
And coming from you that means something, since your opinions are worth less than a drunken ameoba's, dumbshit.
Gee, you are fixated on holding fatsos scumbag
All this style maven Ebert (ha ha ha) has in the way of fans are retarded little boys of advanced age who post about how many "chicks" they think fats fucked because all they do on a Saturday night is beat off to old shows , post baby videos and debate what a drunken shit like Ebert thought of them
legend, rest in peace.
If you looked to this ugly blob to advise you , you are a loser. He sought any publicity and wrote such trash as " Who Killed Bambi"
@@daveybaby131 neither of which is relevant to his skill level as a film critic.
And Natesh is not relevant to anyone
I agree Dave. Ignore the freaks who still think Ebert is as current as Vanilla Ice. LOL. If you fail at writing movies, you have no business telling others how to make good ones
He is a cruel person.
This just made me love Roger Ebert 342789 times more than I already did.
Aw me too (and I'm a white guy).
I 100% agree with Roger. The film-maker regardless of their race, sex, sexual orientation or religion has the right to make the film they want to make. Sung Kang and everyone connected to "Better Luck Tomorrow" made an intelligent, challenging film and should be proud of their work.
Just to be clear this also means that white filmmakers get to make whatever film they want about blacks and Asians. I somehow doubt Ebert or most of the people cheering would agree with that part.
@@reginaldforthright805so long as the art produced was authentic, I'm not sure he would have a problem with it.
But that's the rub, it's difficult for a movie industry that passively or actively excludes story tellers based on their race or culture to claim authenticity.
But since rich white men can't be asked to give a fuck about authenticity, we have to demand corrections to the status quo against their wishes.
If diversity has to be forced, it's only because lack of diversity is forced harder
“They’re allowed to do it according to what me and buddies say is the right way to do it.” Classic authoritarian leftists💀
@@ShishakliAus You're complaining that Hollywood still isn't diverse enough, wow lol 🤣🤣🤣 Leftest like you will always be complaining because the red carpet in life was never rolled out for you.
Also the tribe that started and run Hollywood wouldn't call themselves white.
@@ShishakliAus And the rub there is that forced diversity does not represent inclusion or progress. It defeats the purpose because it's more likely to create bitterness and resentment.
Well, Ebert just gained even more respect in my eyes
Roger Ebert was the MAN, telling it like it is and defending the right for Asian Americans to define themselves whatever way they want!
Why do only minorities have that right.
Old man yells at cloud, second old man stands up and yells at first old man.
THAT CLOUD DOES NOT HAVE TO "REPRESENT"
I love the air quotes.
A true champion of the cinema. I may not always agree with Ebert’s criticisms, but I can’t help but admire his ardent passion for the medium.
YES Roger Ebert is completely right, white people dont get asked "are you really representing white people the right way?"
That’s because the media doesn’t want white people being represented “the right way.” If a film doesn’t portray whites in a positive manner, it will be praised, not challenged. None of these liberal activists or media hacks would be sticking up for whites in the same way this guy feels he is sticking up for asians.
That’s a question that should be asked far more often, to be fair.
lol No it's not. Are you insane?
@@VingulNo individual is a race representative, because race does not define individuals. You may as well say that a white serial killer sends a message that all white people are serial killers or something equally ridiculous. Stop letting your mind get caught up in the race trap when the genuine genetic reality is that it's a scant couple of genes that determine outward physical appearance and nothing more.
@@leonader9465moral decadence is bad.
I miss Roger. I may not have always agreed with his reviews, but damn, the guy knew what he was talking about and he was SO passionate.
Roger Ebert, he was the definition for "film critic"!
It was the definition of ugly and a failed screenplay writer
Roger Eshit was the definition of gross. The critic has critics so deal with it
The definition of a loser is anyone who needs this stylish man to advise on old shows
@@philaschio5524 Phil and Dottie... probably the same person, but regardless aren't worth the powder to blow em up. If they had another brain it'd be lonesome.
@@joeblough261 then why are you writing to them? Ebert isn't around ( no pun intended) to tell you in mom's basement which old movie to see?
Always respected him. More so now than ever.
I sat behind Roger Ebert for a movie at the Telluride Film Festival in 1992. He was friendly and didn’t act like a “celebrity” at all - just there to see a film like everyone else. He was the genuine article, and it’s good seeing this clip where he absolutely nails the proper point!
I teared up while watching this. Thank you, Mr. Ebert.
I'm on the same page with Mr. Ebert, the late and great critic who seemed like a genuine guy. Such a genius, him and Siskel will be missed!
WHY DID YOU REMOVE YOUR PENIS PICTURE?
Talk to the Pulitzer, dumbshit.
Guess that is all the child can talk to including Ebert's hilarious trash screenplays and ugly looks
Got the chills. What a great man, rest in peace.
Roger ebert is so passionate about the art of film making and the human condition. It really is inspiring.
This is why he was so great. Passionate about movies and the people that make them. RIP you soldier of cinema
Im really glad you posted my favorite critic in an honorable light such as this. It's really awesome to see the legendary Roger Ebert raising his voice and cutting off the stupid ignorance of that viewer.
The other guys view is legitimate as well. Ebert isnt standing on principle, he’s just woke. Minority always right. White man always wrong.
@@reginaldforthright805dude you're just racist lmfao. u just dont say things like this unless you're racist on some level
Roger Ebert was not only my favorite critic of any form of entertainment ever, but also just one of my favorite writers. This was a man who knew exactly HOW to speak his mind, and exactly how to say why he did or didn't like something. Even when I didn't agree with him, I loved hearing what he had to say.
Wow! Glad to see video of this! Thanks for posting! I read about this encounter in Giant Robot magazine years and years ago, and I still tell people about it til this day. Better Luck Tomorrow was a great film, too!
Ebert, what an awesome dude. He is missed these days
This man represented the best of film criticism and it’s ideal. There hasn’t been another critic who has lived up to him and Siskel’s professionalism and love for movies.
Man did he have some bizarre takes sometimes, Siskel especially....
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.
This was the Roger Ebert I watched growing up. He briefly lost his mind in the early eighties with the moral high roading against slasher films. But he's come around since then and was pretty spot on 90% of the time.
I think his problem with slashers is that he was one for storytelling and the story in slashers was secondary. Plus I think he saw it as a cheap way to make money and not so much film making. But I get what you are saying. I love slashers. I love seeing the unique ways a psycho would randomly off somebody. I think slashers are great and would love to see a modern day take one of them.
If I may ask. Did you see I spit on your grave? If so, would you call that a slasher?
He was a pompous fat turd swimming in his own self importance
debate over old movies and what a style lacking fat blob thought of them appeals to losers alone on a weekend
@@ZarahLean pot calling the kettle black.
Ebert was a class act. RIP. You were, are and will always be awesome.
Roger Ebert was a gem. Great writer, thoughtful and passionate film critic and a next level loving husband. As a kid i could not wait for Siskel and ebert reviews. What a gem.
This is why Roger Ebert was, is, and always shall be the BOSS
Even when he lost the ability to speak, his voice still resounded with passion and intelligence. There will never be one like Roger ever again.
I knew Roger was a good man through and through.
I loved Roger Ebert. I so wish he was still around.
Me too.😢
he was round, all right, but its body parts rotted off
ZarahLean you’re disgusting.. film criticism is essential to keep Hollywood in check. If the box office was all that studios had to measure a films success we’d get nothing but SHIT like even more MCU DCEU etc.
I just watched this movie and was looking up Ebert for a different review but luckily stumbled upon this. What an awesome guy
Brings a tear to my eye. Such a legend of a man
Of course this comment section is filled with people thinking they're the shit for mocking a man after his death.
greendaythebeatles That 's what Ebert did
+Denise Coffin I don't know if you heard, but Ebert later apologised for the tweet. Either way, he posted the tweet because he was mad at how irresponsible Ryan Dunn and his friends had been that night. He had drank alcohol and then drove upwards of 100mph on the motorway. Sure the tweet was posted to soon. But at least there was some reasoning behind it. All the people here are doing, are just acting like a bunch of pricks for no good reason.
+Denise Coffin Being a critic is a hard job despite what you may think and the reason a critic gets popular is usually because he has a good eye for the things he critisizes.
MAking good critiques IS hard work.
kite freeks freak, you don't even know his name calling him ROBERT Ebert. He failed at writing movies LOL
Denise Coffin
Well, sue me 0.o
So what if he failed writing movies?
The thing he got famous for was critiquing movies which is a whole other kind of work.
What a fantastic man. I will miss him so much.
I heard about this incident, nice to see it. I totally agree with Ebert and I love how he didn't hold back in his contempt. Thanks for posting.
So awesome. I miss his reviews.
Thanks, Roger. You're the tops.
I honestly wanted the guy to yell "Who the hell are you?!" and robert yell back "I'm Robert F'ing Ebert.. I think I know what I'm talking about!"
Man, I love this guy. I just came across this video, today. I used to watch him next to Siskel on the PBS show, and read his reviews religiously. His voice is missed. It was the sound of his voice that the cancer took first, and I am glad that there are many clips here to hear his voice again.
Couldn’t stand either one of them.
Thrive in Heaven Based Ebert, you were the only movie critic I respected.
RIP Roger Ebert. You will be missed.
That was awesome! Thanks, Roger!
Wow never seen this. Great moment. He was so passionate about his love of movies. His show was always fantastic, even when you didn't agree with him.
Moments like this are the reason I go to Sundance every year.
It’s unbelievable that anyone could feel any other way
Ebert was awesome here ! Such a legend & genius. Will their ever be two critics like him & siskel again? All the millions of movie reviews on yt are bc of these two. Icons
Favorite film from this director by far. I keep waiting for more of this.
Roger Ebert was always a real one. Always fought the good fight, always was on the cutting edge. Maybe missed the mark once or twice but still did it with grace and decorum
Well done, sir. You will be missed.
RIP. Thank you for everything. 🤙🤙
Roger Ebert is a legendary critic. He knows movie. I missed the show Roger and Ebert. Nowadays no one critices a movie anymore, they just it's good.
Roger Ebert is gangsta AF!!!
Awesome Roger!!! :)
Thank you, Roger Ebert. Forver grateful for this.
Siskel & Ebert. My mother (RIP) watched them all time and trusted their reviews without question. I miss watching that show with her
Holy fuck, this comment section is disgusting. So many people saying shit like "he's in hell now" "fatso is dead" (random comments about his appearance). Who the fuck are you to judge? Yeah he was a film critic, big fucking deal. It was his job to review films. You may not have agreed with some or many of his reviews, but that doesn't give you any right to make meaningless and heartless insults, especially after his death. I also see comments implying he has no right to critique movies, because he wrote a film that turned out to be bad. That seems really fucking hypocritical if you ask me. I'm sure many of you have said you hated a film, and haven't even attempted to make one yourself. It's disgusting to see so many people act like this, especially towards someone they barely knew.
+Solarstar10 First, "he" didn't write ONE film that turned out to be bad. He wrote many- all laughable failures. "He" set "himself" up as a film authority. I never have and don't write screenplays. I am a successful lawyer. The hypocrisy is all Ebert's. Of course, anyone who gives an opinion of Hollywood offerings these days can be idolized by little boys sitting in front of the boob toob. Or old ones for that matter. It isn't life. I don't care to know more than what I already do about this blob. You will just have to deal with negative reviews of this cadaver
+ZarahLean "I am a successful lawyer."
A successful lawyer has time to create 30 troll accounts and waste 4 years of his life because he loves Ryan Dunn?
L O L
nikosvault Is that you? I had never heard of Ryan Dunn before your ugly pin up, Roger Ebert, tried to get publicity off his death. I am here to laugh at you and Ebert. He is dead and even more hilarious. I am sorry you need this things advice on old shows.And the truth is, Ebert DID fail at writing movies but critiqued others work. "Niko from the vault" you are an old troll ....choke on your cigarettes while watching old movies
It gives us pleasure to know that before this turd rotted out totally, he read our critiques of the failed smut writer Eshit. All his fanboys have are watching old clips and beating off to Ebert
Nobody showed up at his funeral
RIP Ebert. Once I heard you passed, this is the first video I went to lookup of you. You changed the way we are portrayed today, not only in films but in the real world.
Wtf
This is powerful stuff. Powerful Ebert.
I loved Roger Ebert. What a great man he was. Here’s a great example why.
roger a real one for this
You don't get it. The *other guy* in the audience was being condescending to Asian-American filmmakers, saying they couldn't make a gangster film because they were Asian Americans. Ebert stood up and told him that the filmmakers had a right to make whatever kind of movie they wanted to make.
Ebert was standing up against racial stereotypes of Asian-Americans. If somebody else is being condescending of Asian-Americans, that's the EXACT time and place to stand up and shove it back in their faces!
Still remember watching the siskel and ebert show going back to the 80s. Can’t believe these guys are gone. Pre internet show made a splash in those days. RIP
To this very day, when I watched a film made before his death, I look for the Roger Ebert review.
People saying that Ebert didn't have any right to critique movies because he couldn't write them need to have their fucking heads checked. The fact that I can't make video games doesn't mean I can't have an opinion on them. To those saying he set himself up as the "master critic" who dictated what opinions people had, the reason he became such a popular film critic is because he was, quite simply, very good at writing about movies. I don't agree with all of his reviews of course, but the fact is he was a very talented film critic and he got where he was because he was talented. I guess now I have to read a bunch of replies calling him fat and not making any points of their own.
Yeah but he was fat.
Do you have to be a cook to have an opinion about whether food tastes good? Having the ability to eat is all the job requires.
What if I told you that the chef didn't make the food for you? That is the thing that nobody (including critics) will fully understand until they make a piece of art themselves. Films, while designed to be consumed, aren't tailored to what the audience likes or wants out of the medium. They are tailored for what the CREATORS want out of the medium.
Obviously , when you try and fail doing something....you can't carp about how others do it
@@TheoWishYou wouldn't say that if somebody served you a piece of raw mouse. We are all critics, professional critics are just extensions of ourselves. Just like a critic could never understand how it is to make a film not tailored to them, a filmmaker cannot know what it's like to be a moviegoer and see their film, because they've seen it a thousand times and corrected it over and over, so they have no perception anymore of what it's like to come in fresh and experience it. That's what critics do.

Amen
Reason #512 I respect Roger Ebert. We may disagree on about 25% of his reviews, but he's a smart guy with an obvious love of cinema. I really don't think the same can be said for most critics these days.
I work in tv/film i watched every single review of ebert and siskle the information i learned was better than any class in school
Roger Ebert was the man when he was still alive.
This was in 2002. And we still haven't learned a lesson...

@@babsyboone4482 lol did he give your favorite shitty superhero movie a bad review?
Roger was not only an unparalleled film critic but also one of the greatest essayists of his time. A brilliant writer.
Ebert is right. Nobody is a representative of their race. Such a stupid concept. We're all individuals, regardless of race or anything else.
Not every movie needs to be "a statement" or need to do everything
I miss Roger Ebert so much
Ebert was a great man who spoke to a world yet to come.
FUCK YEA. You go Roger!
God, I'm going to miss this guy. He was such a brilliant critic.

100%. And "Better Luck Tomorrow" is a GREAT movie
