@@babymammoth34 Weirdly caustic angle... Whether or not you agreed w his takes, Ebert was a deeply intelligent man who was able to elucidate the workings (or failings) of cinema far better than most of his contemporaries.
and just to be clear, it was his brow-beating and hostile approach that i did not agree with. The man was disrespectful and clearly threatened frequently by dissenting opinion.
He also said that Juliette Binoche would never be nominated for an Oscar and that Ralph Fiennes would not be nominated for "The English Patient". It's a bit late to correct him on that, but it was a dumb comment even for the time.
Asides from Rogert Ebert's great eye, I would like to highlight Charlie's passion, how he fires up his guests and his ability to get to the heart of the matter
I am so glad Roger mentioned Robert Mitchum. Yes, he became a star but it is a damn shame that he never became a respected actor. People underestimated him because he appeared to do nothing.
I don't know how anybody could deny his range after watching both The Night of the Hunter and The Friends of Eddie Coyle. They're entirely different characters with entirely different moods and motivations, but Mitchum's work is true to the bone in either case. Nobody's cooler than Mitchum. It's hard for some people to grasp how difficult it is to be that understated. Hackman and Duvall are the only guys I can think of who are in the same league as Mitchum in that regard.
He wasn’t criticizing her performance or saying that she didn’t deserve said award so much as saying that he didn’t expect her to be nominated or win given the tendencies he perceived.
Before film criticism died with rotten tomatoes and all these stupid manbaby fanboys surrounded by toys on RUclips who never attended a film class in their life
Roger ebert is not intimidated by charlie because he knows hes smarter. Theres a comfortable distance in intellectual levels. He knows his own answers always have more substance.
Charlie Rose really isn't all that bright. He talks _ceaselessly_ in order to hear his own head rattle, Ebert can't get six words in edgewise, he can't stay on topic, and he goes on too much about what _he_ thinks to no effect at all. STFU, Charlie. Fuck!
I almost can NOT bear to listen to Charlie Rose - and his unctuous, greasy "uh huh, uh huh..." and just how he derails every response from Roger Ebert.
1:39 - amazing the long list of smaller, independent films that came out back then, compared to maybe the three or four that come out today amidst all the exploding, soulless blockbusters.
I was surprised when Spike Lee was discussed Ebert didn't refer to Malcolm X as "greatness" but a "very good film". He selected it as the best movie of 1992 and sure raved about it at the time!
Yeah, that was the dark side of Hollywood nobody talked about. I remember a Siskel and Ebert episode though with Tom Hanks and Merl Streep in the 1990s where Streep went back to her old acting school to meet the students and said the teacher there would quite persistently try and sleep with the students including her.
Something about Charlie Rose irks me. Always has. I think Ebert's picking up on it, too. Despite all that, Roger's interesting here. Thanks for the upload.
It's just a bit breezy, he fires questions then switches it up and changes the subject, it's hard to get a natural conversation flowing. I think you should always let the guest do most of the speaking..
Had Roger lived. I think he would be disappointed to see where the cinema has gone. It was the most powerful mythological art form of humanity. That is no longer the case in 2024.
What Ebert says from 9:43 to 10:44 is very well put and he essentially summarizes a major problem with the film industry these days. Box office success seems to be the end all be all and the creativity and risk taking doesn’t seem to be as common. In particular since physical DVD rentals gave way to streaming services, the importance most studios see on theatrical performance is probably higher.
*According to Rogers official website his 10 favorite films of all time (in no order)* Casablanca (1943) Michael Curtiz Citizen Kane (1941) Orson Welles Floating Weeds (1959) Yasujiro Ozu Gates Of Heaven (1978) documentary Errol Morris La Dolce Vita (1961) Fellini Notorious (1946) Hitchcock Raging Bull (1980) Scorsese The Third Man (1949) Carol Reed 28 Up (1964) documentary Paul almond 2001 A Space Odyssey (1967) Kubrick

What public figure today has the depth of intellect, is equally well read, without looking down on anyone...and relishes all kinds of entertainment and takes it as it is. Ebert was rare at the time. I can think of no one today.
The great thing about cinema is that pretty much anyone can have a conversation about it, while it helps if you know about how filmmaking works, know the history of cinema, have looked into film theory its not a necessarily needed to have a great conversation about your favourite film.
@@lw3646 I'd say one's idea of a GREAT conversation certainly changes once you know how film works, have read literature widely, have a foundational understanding of philosophy, art, etc. But that doesn't just go for a conversation about film--it goes for conversation about anything. It's always more fun to have a conversation with someone who knows what they are talking about than to have one with someone who doesn't (unless you are the one who knows a lot and the other person is actually interested in learning about it).
Movies should be always rated with the question: 'will this be a classic?'. And many movies simply don't stand the test of time. And if Courtney or a Comedian plays awesome or Horror or C
The movie I was completely absorbed in from beginning to end was "No Country For Old Men." I got lost in it. Not a moment of it (yes, in speaking for myself) dragged. Every beat was hit. I even praise the ending even though many people hated it. I know it wasn't 1996 but when he talks about an out of the body experience, that's my movie.
Ok it’s not that roger was wrong about the English patient it’s just his opinion about possibly not winning the oscars that’s all, he’s a film critic and entertaining film critic he’s very honest and had the greatest tv show along side with gene siskel but what really puts me off is how people talk negatively about what people think I mean yes there are arguments but it’s to defend your opinion but it doesn’t make a person bad unless their crazy enough to sue movie makers to make a movie if their biased about movies being racist or so.
I’m so glad Charlie Rose finally got put out to pasture. He was an execrable interviewer. It was shocking to me that his show, and Larry King’s, consistently got the best guests. His “style” was so unctuous and grating. I’ll bet his guests felt like they had a gooey film on them when they left that chair. As did many of his female associates. Allegedly.
THANK YOU. I never got the hype and of course Seinfeld at the time made an episode about how crap it was. I'd like to add Leaving Las Vegas as overrated.
Let's see.. Ebert was wrong that English Patient would not win.. He said Binoche would not be nominated.. wrong, she won best Supporting Actress.. Said Ralph Fiennes would not be nominated.. wrong again.. I hate when people are so confident in their arrogant stupidity
Oh dude, you don’t have to wonder. He reviewed every Wes Anderson movie through Moonrise Kingdom. Google “Wes Anderson Ebert” and they’ll be the first results.
So if you like debates you can actually find a really good page on RUclips that's called Michael Jordan fans or the worst NBA fans then, the guy on that page debates lots of Michael Jordan fans then.
I didn't like The Color of Money because I thought it was a disappointment with all the talent involved. I always thought the Academy gave Newman the Oscar because they felt sorry for him. Not only did I not think he deserved the Oscar, I didn't think he deserved a nomination. The actor who should have won that year wasn't even nominated, and that was Gary Oldman for Sid & Nancy.

it's a blast to see Roger Ebert just talk about movies
That is all he ever talked about!!
Yeah this comment doesn't make any sense.
Was he on screen talking gardening tips ever?
@Rance Rispler expect he meant talking about the state of cinema and filmmaking as it was then rather just doing a movie review.
Man, I love Ebert. Not intimidated by Charlie at all. He's giving it to him and calling him out on his BS.
ebert loved to hear himself speak, that's for sure. adored the sound of his own abrasive voice.
@@babymammoth34 Weirdly caustic angle... Whether or not you agreed w his takes, Ebert was a deeply intelligent man who was able to elucidate the workings (or failings) of cinema far better than most of his contemporaries.
@@PayneToTheMax no more so than Andrew sarris, Vincent Canby, or Leonard maltin or Janet Maslin.
and just to be clear, it was his brow-beating and hostile approach that i did not agree with. The man was disrespectful and clearly threatened frequently by dissenting opinion.
the "workings" and "failings" of cinema are rather relative.
4:48 the utter passion the interviewer says the film is terrific and then instantly reveals he hasn't actually... watched... the movie...
If you listen closely he says “people say it’s terrific, is it?”
He said Juliette Binoche was in Before Sunrise, but it was Julie Delpy. I hate people who correct others, but I had to point that out.
Was about to write the same comment
He also said that Juliette Binoche would never be nominated for an Oscar and that Ralph Fiennes would not be nominated for "The English Patient". It's a bit late to correct him on that, but it was a dumb comment even for the time.
@@WilliamLyons-ym7ee That's how you pronounce Ralph's name.
@@msaccaNo, you pronounce his name, "Rafe" !
My God, 1996 was an extraordinary year in film.
96 was great for film, 97 was great for music, if I recall correctly.
Asides from Rogert Ebert's great eye, I would like to highlight Charlie's passion, how he fires up his guests and his ability to get to the heart of the matter
Rose preferred The English Patient to Fargo...lol
Many did!
it says more about your bubble if you think that's a controversial opinion! English Patient won Best Picture so the Academy agreed too.
7:37 Best quote ever

Roger, Gene, and Ben Mankiewicz are my three favorite reviewers.
RIP - Roger and Gene
1:30 Excuse Me Mr. Ebert, Juliette Binoche nominated and Won an Oscar
😅
He wasn’t criticizing her performance or saying that she didn’t deserve said award so much as saying that he didn’t expect her to be nominated or win given the tendencies he perceived.
He said Leaving Las Vegas (1995) was his favorite film of that year.. the best film of that year in his opinion.. I agree.
In 2013 Mr. Ebert went to the big screening room in the sky to join his buddy Mr. Siskel.
"I'd rather a director be crazed by a conspiracy theory than crazed by lust for a big Friday night opening" - someone forgot to tell the Russos
This quote should be heard by more directors, executives and creatives.
Before film criticism died with rotten tomatoes and all these stupid manbaby fanboys surrounded by toys on RUclips who never attended a film class in their life
Roger ebert is not intimidated by charlie because he knows hes smarter. Theres a comfortable distance in intellectual levels. He knows his own answers always have more substance.
Charlie Rose's ego was in full bloom during this interview.
Charlie Rose really isn't all that bright. He talks _ceaselessly_ in order to hear his own head rattle, Ebert can't get six words in edgewise, he can't stay on topic, and he goes on too much about what _he_ thinks to no effect at all. STFU, Charlie. Fuck!
@@Drchainsaw77 he's carried by the guests nothing great about his questions tho some of his from the hip qs do hit.
I almost can NOT bear to listen to Charlie Rose - and his unctuous, greasy "uh huh, uh huh..." and just how he derails every response from Roger Ebert.
Rose was a Crass vulgar idiot...and, we now know, those were the least of his problems...
I wish Roger had lived to see the justified public disgracing of Charlie Rose.
1:39 - amazing the long list of smaller, independent films that came out back then, compared to maybe the three or four that come out today amidst all the exploding, soulless blockbusters.
I wish I was born in 85 instead of 95, just so I could catch a glimpse of the last true age of movie theaters.
Yup, now all these "critics" drool over garbage like star wars and marvel.
The banner between these two is the same as watching two 40 year old brothers in conflict. You just love to see it.
I was surprised when Spike Lee was discussed Ebert didn't refer to Malcolm X as "greatness" but a "very good film". He selected it as the best movie of 1992 and sure raved about it at the time!
I'm more upset that Charlie seemed totally unimpressed by it. As far as I'm concerned, it's the best Spike Lee joint aside from Do the Right Thing.
Karloff did Bride Of Frankenstein and that was a great performance!
When I was 12 years young, I loved "Sneak Review" on PBS. I got a chance to see a little bit of every movies without paying. LOL
It's a shame he's not alive to weigh in on the metoo movement. I feel like he knew a lot of stories and could probably write a book about it.
He wouldn’t be able to give an opinion!
@@tentcater4710 His career was certainly defined in part by opinion.
Yeah, that was the dark side of Hollywood nobody talked about. I remember a Siskel and Ebert episode though with Tom Hanks and Merl Streep in the 1990s where Streep went back to her old acting school to meet the students and said the teacher there would quite persistently try and sleep with the students including her.
Ooops, Roger, Juliette Binoche was not in Before Sunrise, that was Julie Delpy! 😉
You guys think Charlie Rose likes The English Patient?
My late Father loved "The English Patient"
Something about Charlie Rose irks me. Always has. I think Ebert's picking up on it, too.
Despite all that, Roger's interesting here.
Thanks for the upload.
It's just a bit breezy, he fires questions then switches it up and changes the subject, it's hard to get a natural conversation flowing. I think you should always let the guest do most of the speaking..

What is the most powerful mythological art form in 2024 in your opinion?
Roger was such a straight shooter...
that's one theory...
there are a number of others
9:43 to 10:44 was an excellent point
I love the way that Roger dances around his opinion about The English Patient in comparison to the interviewer.

Emily Watson topped McDormand in breaking the waves. I wonder if roger saw her performance
The English Patient: 1996.
alexalex13131 Yes
The movie I was completely absorbed in from beginning to end was "No Country For Old Men." I got lost in it. Not a moment of it (yes, in speaking for myself) dragged. Every beat was hit. I even praise the ending even though many people hated it. I know it wasn't 1996 but when he talks about an out of the body experience, that's my movie.
I miss Roger Ebert
Ebert's book of film contain's the most hilarious anectode about a sozzled Lee Marvin.
Enlighten us?
I like "Arthur," so my parents noticed my purchase of a sticker book on it.
My mother still enjoyed her private, high school.
That Sample Audition
I think he confused Juliette Binoche with Julie Delpy
Ok it’s not that roger was wrong about the English patient it’s just his opinion about possibly not winning the oscars that’s all, he’s a film critic and entertaining film critic he’s very honest and had the greatest tv show along side with gene siskel but what really puts me off is how people talk negatively about what people think I mean yes there are arguments but it’s to defend your opinion but it doesn’t make a person bad unless their crazy enough to sue movie makers to make a movie if their biased about movies being racist or so.
Charlie Rose is such a hack: look at 19:20, where he bangs his own drum so offensively it catches Roger off-guard, it's so awkward...
Love that Book!
I’m so glad Charlie Rose finally got put out to pasture. He was an execrable interviewer. It was shocking to me that his show, and Larry King’s, consistently got the best guests. His “style” was so unctuous and grating. I’ll bet his guests felt like they had a gooey film on them when they left that chair. As did many of his female associates. Allegedly.
EXACTLY.
Both were highly overrated. In my opinion, the best interviewer of all time is James Day. The name of his program was Day at Night.
Totally agree hes a complete moron "larry flynt was a terrific movie " "did you see it?" "No"
Roger was wrong, juliette did win the oscar that year! :)
Nor was she in Before Sunrise
Julie Delpy....he should have taken notes. If you're taking notes while watching a film, you're not watching a film.
He got her mixed up with Julie Delpy. Julie was in White and Juliette was in Blue. They were parts of a trilogy.
4:10
What a change. Last years best picture nominees were all downers not the positive films that Roger says Hollywood loves to nominate
I wanted to discuss how to deal with Quinones.
I'm with Elaine Benes on The English Patient. Never got the hype.
Fargo: Modern Classic.
When you now know who won the Oscars that year, you think, "Boy, was Roger wrong about this!" But how was he to know?
He was wrong about some, but at least he was right about Frances McDormand should win an Oscar for Fargo which she did.
14:35 - Same with writing
Lol at the comment about Stallone. He used to wear lifts in his shoes so he looked taller, the dude was as narcissistic as they come.
Many actors present a false image. Some wear lifts, or toupees, or even a false nose which is what Olivier did.
that's what you have to do to survive in this industry and have food on the table for your family bro
only thing i remember about english patient was seinfeld lol
Why wouldn't someone sue.
10:37 - doesn't really hold water anymore in the age of right-wing smear filmmakers like Dinesh Desouza.
Oh hi cankles still sore you lost? :)
The English Patient was dogshit. All the other movies he mentions are really good.
THANK YOU. I never got the hype and of course Seinfeld at the time made an episode about how crap it was. I'd like to add Leaving Las Vegas as overrated.
Id much rather see the wave movie with Ru Paul and Lady Bunny. Gladiator too.
Let's see.. Ebert was wrong that English Patient would not win.. He said Binoche would not be nominated.. wrong, she won best Supporting Actress.. Said Ralph Fiennes would not be nominated.. wrong again.. I hate when people are so confident in their arrogant stupidity
My aunt serves international students too.
Because of blood.
Charlie Rose makes Jimmy Fallon look absolutely polite by comparison. Jeez man let the guest talk.
Rose is so unwatchable and he’s the one that got an hour with true icons. What a shame

Because Alaska.
I always saw Rose as weird, possibly creepy....... YEARS b4 the crap hit the fan...
Flirting with women and wanting sex doesn’t make one creepy except to a creep!
@@tentcater4710 Glad to know you can decide for women what is creepy to them.
Because life is hard as a non-peteoleum-engineer.
Leaving Las Vegas and Dead Man Walking weren't even nominated, instead............. Babe
I understand your point, but Babe really is a great film.
Dead Man Walking's Director was nominated for Best Director.
Charlie sure use to "look for the right angle"
I wonder what he would think of Wes Anderson?
Oh dude, you don’t have to wonder. He reviewed every Wes Anderson movie through Moonrise Kingdom. Google “Wes Anderson Ebert” and they’ll be the first results.
I think Roger was reviewing movies until about 2011. I'm curious to know as well.
7:28
i miss charlie roses show
So if you like debates you can actually find a really good page on RUclips that's called Michael Jordan fans or the worst NBA fans then, the guy on that page debates lots of Michael Jordan fans then.
I can't believe he loved Scorsese but didn't like The Color of Money! That movie is awesome!
I didn't like The Color of Money because I thought it was a disappointment with all the talent involved. I always thought the Academy gave Newman the Oscar because they felt sorry for him. Not only did I not think he deserved the Oscar, I didn't think he deserved a nomination. The actor who should have won that year wasn't even nominated, and that was Gary Oldman for Sid & Nancy.
@@johnfitzpatrick3094 Nah, Newman deserved it. Anyone can act like
an asshole like Gary did as Sid Vicious.
John Fitzpatrick The Color of Money was great.
"I'm not into avoiding McDonald's."
I have side with Elaine on Seinfeld. The English Patient sucked. Too long, and simply was ok at best. Overblown.
EXACTLY! I was so disappointed at the theater.
Because people know stuff. "Crap, another cancer worsening."
With great respect to the late Ebert, he was soo wrong abt the English Patient, this film rightfully swept the Academy in 97!
Yes, I agree with him mostly about oscars but he said they wouldn't vote for a New Yorker, even though Annie Hall by Woody Allen won best picture.
It's fine to never been hugged by my husband.
Baseline Killer without Hispanic Blood
I love going with my mommy for the community.
He was so wrong about the English patient 💀
"Form, b````."
"Oh, I'm not undocumented."
Anything that's for a mom.
Roger Ebert was way off base with The English Patient Oscar predictions. However, that film was crap!
To compete with someone.
International schools get them.
Great filmcritic and a great man but how was he wrong haha The English patient won 9 Oscars!
Somebody explain the appeal of Leaving Las Vegas to me.
turns out, Streisand is an egotistical monster
Lack of clicking on the internet.
Fargo isn't uplifting?!
The routines and blah.
Sicko.
Roger had to eat his words with English Patient.
Charlie Rose is umbearable
