He was a writer, we discuss writers on /lit/. Especially talented writers like Ebert.

>> No.3627790

>>3627424

You are right. He was an extremely talented critic, a very sensitive man, and a lover of all the arts: painting, literature, music, and of course, movies.
Many times, for example, he expressed his love of Shakespeare, like in his review of Richard III, in which he calls Shakespeare the greatest artist of all time in all the mediums of art. I always read his critics about the movies I watched, and although I didn’t agree with him all the time, I respected his opinions. This was a learned man, an honest and brave man (for to face such an overwhelming disease as he himself have faced, and to continue to live your life with dignity and productiveness is a major sign of courage).
He deserves our respect. And for the faggots who had their shitty tasted offended and got angry, I suggest you grow up: art is a human creation, and there is not science capable of saying what is good and what is not good – ascetics is not a science, is a field of philosophy, and philosophy, no matter how much times the philosophy faggots say that it is, is not science.

Of course there are fags who absolute enjoy genre fiction on this board as well so I shouldn't be so surprised that the /tv/ outcasts have come here to sing paeans to this retard.

Ebert had an extensive knowledge of literature and was a prolific writer. Most of you seem to hate or envy the man because he was actually paid to write his opinions where your opinions are posted anonymously on an image board.
