When Roger Ebert passed away on Thursday, we lost someone who much more than just a film critic. We lost someone who came to embody a love for cinema that encompassed almost every angle of the medium imaginable. To start with his main occupation, he forever changed what film critics were and what reviews could do. Rather than just going over the plot of a film and critiquing the performances and technical aspects of it, Ebert dug deep into films to find their message and, in many cases, their faults as well. In doing so, he took film criticism to a whole new level. -Insertgroups:12- There was nothing like reading a favorable Roger Ebert review of a good movie. He looked deep into the film for meanings and truths that most people wouldn't even consider thinking about, but also presented these in a way that respected his reading audience. »
