He won the Pulitzer in Criticism and he’s not a Hollywood figure. As a critic wouldn’t be part of the culture they write about. If you think cinema is important than Ebert is an important figure.
I consider the pulitzer as important as the Nobel. Both are libtard awards for just showing up and repeating the libtard lies. Junk awards.
For being a critic he sure was part of the very culture he critisized. He wrote for movies and appeared in some.
While I enjoy some of the works of hollyweird I don’t put a lot of love out for them. Cinima used to be important and actually helped move America forward, but those days are gone. Mostly due to the likes of Ebert and other libtards. What cinema has become from the 70s to today is a cancerous shadow of it’s former self.
It’s obvious you put too much importance in cinema and the people who work in that “culture”. Ebert is of no importance to me.And his “contributions” to cinema are not worth noting. Unless you are a starry eyed sycophant of hollyweird. I grew out of that many many years ago.
