Roger Ebert has been writing film reviews for the Chicago Sun-Times for nearly forty years. And during those four decades, his wide knowledge, keen judgment, prodigious energy, and sharp sense of humor have made him America’s most celebrated film critic. He was the first such critic to win a Pulitzer Prize—one of just three film critics ever to receive that honor—and the only one to have a star dedicated to him on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. His groundbreaking hit TV show, At the Movies, meanwhile, has made “two thumbs up” one of the most coveted hallmarks in the entire industry.
No critic alive has reviewed more movies than Roger Ebert, and yet his essential writings have never been collected in a single volume—until now. With Awake in the Dark, both fans and film buffs can finally bask in the best of Ebert’s work. The reviews, interviews, and essays collected here present a picture of this indispensable critic’s numerous contributions to the cinema and cinephilia. From The Godfather to GoodFellas, from Cries and Whispers to Crash, the reviews in Awake in the Dark span some of the most exceptional periods in film history, from the dramatic rise of rebel Hollywood and the heyday of the auteur, to the triumph of blockbuster films such as Star Wars and Raiders of the Lost Ark, to the indie revolution that is still with us today.
The extraordinary interviews gathered in Awake in the Dark capture Ebert engaging not only some of the most influential directors of our time—Martin Scorsese, Steven Spielberg, Woody Allen, Robert Altman, Werner Herzog, and Ingmar Bergman—but also some of the silver screen’s most respected and dynamic personalities, including actors as diverse as Robert Mitchum, James Stewart, Warren Beatty, and Meryl Streep. Ebert’s remarkable essays play a significant part in Awake in the Dark as well. The book contains some of Ebert’s most admired pieces, among them a moving appreciation of John Cassavetes and a loving tribute to the virtues of black-and-white films.
If Pauline Kael and Andrew Sarris were godmother and godfather to the movie generation, then Ebert is its voice from within—a writer whose exceptional intelligence and daily bursts of insight and enthusiasm have shaped the way we think about the movies. Awake in the Dark, therefore, will be a treasure trove not just for fans of this seminal critic, but for anyone desiring a fascinating and compulsively readable chronicle of film since the late 1960s.

When I first read "Awake in the Dark," I felt an immediate pull towards its enigmatic quality. The title itself is a powerful metaphor, suggesting a state of heightened awareness and clarity that emerges precisely when circumstances are at their most obscure or challenging. This inherent contradiction is what makes it so intriguing. My mind immediately began to wander, contemplating the possibilities. Is it about an individual who, after a period of profound ignorance or complacency – a metaphorical "darkness" – experiences a sudden and life-altering realization? Or does it represent a broader theme, perhaps a societal awakening that occurs only after a prolonged period of collective blindness or deception? I am always drawn to stories that explore the human capacity for growth and resilience, especially when faced with adversity. I anticipate that the author will skillfully craft a narrative that delves into the psychological depths of their characters, portraying the arduous but ultimately rewarding journey from confusion to understanding, from fear to courage. The title suggests a story that is not only engaging but also deeply resonant, prompting reflection on our own perceptions and the moments when we have found light in the deepest of shadows.
评分The evocative title "Awake in the Dark" immediately conjures a sense of mystery and introspection. It suggests a narrative that delves into the hidden corners of human experience, where true understanding often emerges from periods of profound challenge or ignorance. I began to speculate about the possible themes and plotlines that might be contained within such a title. Could it be a story about someone who, after a period of profound disillusionment or loss – a metaphorical "darkness" – suddenly gains a new perspective on life, a heightened awareness of themselves and the world around them? Or perhaps it refers to a more literal scenario, where an individual finds themselves in a dangerous or disorienting situation, and their survival depends on their ability to stay alert and aware, to be "awake" when all seems lost. I am drawn to stories that explore the transformative power of adversity, and this title certainly promises such a journey. I anticipate a narrative that is rich in emotional depth, where characters are forced to confront their deepest fears and limitations, ultimately leading to a profound sense of self-discovery. The title suggests a story that is both compelling and thought-provoking, urging the reader to consider their own moments of "awakening" within the various "darknesses" of life.
评分From the moment I encountered the title "Awake in the Dark," I was captivated by its inherent paradox. It speaks of a profound and perhaps uncomfortable state of being, where consciousness is heightened precisely when external circumstances are most obscured. This juxtaposition immediately sparked my imagination, leading me to consider the myriad ways this concept could be explored. Is it a story of a character grappling with a personal tragedy, only to discover a newfound inner strength and clarity in its aftermath? Or does it represent a societal awakening, a collective realization that dawns upon a populace that has been lulled into a state of complacency or ignorance? The title hints at a journey into the unknown, a descent into a metaphorical or literal darkness, followed by a moment of crucial insight. I am fascinated by narratives that delve into the complexities of the human experience, particularly those that explore themes of self-discovery and the resilience of the spirit. I anticipate that the author will craft a story rich in atmosphere and psychological depth, drawing the reader into the protagonist's internal and external struggles. The title itself suggests a narrative that is both introspective and potentially suspenseful, promising an exploration of what it truly means to confront reality, even when it is at its most daunting.
评分The title "Awake in the Dark" resonated with me instantly, conjuring images of profound shifts in perception and the discovery of hidden truths. It speaks to a powerful moment of realization, often occurring when one is most disoriented or overwhelmed. I immediately began to ponder the potential themes and narrative arcs the author might explore. Is it a story about shedding illusions, about seeing clearly when the world around us is shrouded in deception or ignorance? Or perhaps it’s about finding inner strength and clarity amidst external chaos and despair. The phrase itself implies a journey from a state of unawareness, or perhaps a troubled sleep, to a state of conscious understanding. I imagine a protagonist who is forced to confront something deeply unsettling, something that shatters their former worldview, leading to a profound and potentially transformative awakening. This could manifest in various forms: a personal revelation, a moral awakening, or even a political or social uprising sparked by a newfound clarity. I am particularly drawn to narratives that explore the complexities of the human condition, and this title certainly promises that. I anticipate a story that is not only engaging but also thought-provoking, one that lingers in the mind long after the last page is turned, prompting reflection on our own perceptions and the "darkness" we might be unconsciously navigating. The title suggests a narrative that is both intimate and potentially epic in its scope.
评分我第一次注意到《Awake in the Dark》这本书,是因为我在一个书店的角落里看到了它。它静静地躺在那里,封面设计简约却极具冲击力,一种深沉的蓝与一抹耀眼的银色交织,仿佛黑夜中的一道闪电,或者在无边黑暗中划破沉寂的一道光。这种视觉上的艺术感,让我立刻停下了脚步。我拿起它,指尖划过书封粗糙的纹理,一种莫名的预感涌上心头:这本书,一定不简单。我对“Awake in the Dark”这个名字本身就有一种难以言喻的联想。它暗示着一种状态,一种矛盾,一种在最不适宜的时候,却突然变得清醒的境遇。这让我不禁思考,作者究竟想通过这个名字传达怎样的故事?是关于一位在绝望中找到希望的人?还是一个在困境中觉醒自我,认识到真相的角色?我猜测,这可能是一个关于内心成长,关于勇气与韧性的故事。或许,主人公正身处一个充满未知与危险的环境,但他却在最黑暗的时刻,发现了自己内在的力量,开始反抗,开始寻找出路。我期待着作者能够用精湛的笔触,描绘出这种心理的转变过程,那种从迷茫到清晰,从恐惧到勇敢的蜕变。这本书的封面,像是一扇门,吸引着我去探索门后的世界,去感受那份在黑暗中诞生的光明。
评分这本《Awake in the Dark》的封面设计就足以让人心生好奇。深邃的背景色,仿佛将人拉入了一个无尽的夜晚,而中央那一点微弱的光芒,又像是在黑暗中燃起的希望,抑或是某种神秘的启示。我最初被它吸引,正是因为这种视觉上的张力,让我迫切地想知道,究竟是什么故事,孕育了如此令人着迷的视觉语言。翻开书页,我期待的不仅仅是文字的叙述,更是作者试图通过这种封面所传达的某种情绪、某种意境。它似乎在诉说着一种超越表象的哲学,关于光明与黑暗的永恒斗争,关于沉睡与觉醒的微妙界限。我猜测,作者可能是一位对人性深处有深刻洞察的作家,能够将抽象的概念具象化,并通过引人入胜的情节,带领读者一同踏上一场关于自我探索的旅程。这种封面,绝非随意为之,它饱含着作者对作品主题的提炼和升华,是对读者心灵的一次无声召唤。我在想,它是否也暗示着故事的主角,可能正处于某种极度的困境之中,但内心深处却涌动着一股不屈的力量,如同那点微光,在最黑暗的时刻,依然闪烁。这种强烈的对比,是文学作品中常常能触动人心的元素,它让我们看到,即使在绝望中,生命依然能够找到出口,希望依然能够破土而出。我迫不及待地想深入书中,去感受作者所描绘的那片“黑暗”,以及主人公如何在其中“觉醒”。
评分When I first saw the title "Awake in the Dark," my immediate thought was that this book would delve into the human psyche in its most vulnerable state. The juxtaposition of "awake" and "dark" suggests a profound experience, one where clarity emerges from confusion, or where truth is revealed when all else is obscured. I envisioned a narrative that wasn't afraid to explore the shadows of existence, both internal and external. Perhaps it's about someone facing an unimaginable hardship, yet finding an inner resilience they never knew they possessed. Or maybe it's about a collective awakening, a societal shift that occurs only after a period of deep societal slumber or ignorance. The title itself evokes a sense of mystery, drawing me in with the promise of unveiling something significant. I'm curious about the nature of this "darkness" – is it literal, metaphorical, or a combination of both? And what does it mean to be "awake" within it? Is it a newfound awareness, a moral awakening, or a literal escape from a perilous situation? The potential for powerful character development and profound philosophical exploration is immense. I anticipate a story that challenges conventional thinking, forcing the reader to confront their own assumptions and biases. The title alone suggests a journey of transformation, a shedding of old perceptions to embrace a new, perhaps unsettling, reality. It’s a title that whispers of introspection and revelation, and I'm eager to discover the story it holds within its pages.
评分The very essence of the title, "Awake in the Dark," immediately piqued my interest. It carries with it a certain gravitas, a hint of a journey through adversity that culminates in a profound realization. My mind immediately began to weave potential narratives around this evocative phrase. I thought of the profound moments of clarity that can arise from periods of intense struggle or uncertainty. Perhaps the story follows an individual who has been living in a state of oblivious comfort, only to be thrust into a situation that forces them to confront uncomfortable truths. This "darkness" could represent personal ignorance, societal deception, or even literal peril. The "awakening" then, would be the moment of dawning comprehension, the shedding of illusions, and the emergence of a stronger, more aware self. I am drawn to stories that explore the resilience of the human spirit and the transformative power of challenging experiences. I anticipate that the author will skillfully navigate the emotional and psychological landscape of their characters, depicting the arduous path from confusion to clarity, from fear to courage. The title suggests a narrative that is not only compelling but also deeply meaningful, offering insights into the nature of perception, truth, and the human capacity for growth. I am eager to immerse myself in this exploration of what it means to truly see when surrounded by obscurity.
评分《Awake in the Dark》这个书名,给我一种极具诗意和哲学意味的感觉。它不像是一些直白的描述性书名,而是留给了读者巨大的想象空间。我第一眼看到它,脑海中立刻涌现出各种画面和场景。也许是关于一个人在经历了重大的创伤或挫折后,反而获得了某种深刻的洞察,看到了事物本质的另一面。这种“黑暗”可以是外在的压迫,也可以是内心的迷失,而“觉醒”则代表着一种超脱,一种新的认知。我特别喜欢这种带有隐喻色彩的书名,它不像是一碗白开水,而是充满层次感,值得细细品味。我很好奇,作者是如何将“黑暗”与“觉醒”这两个看似对立的概念巧妙地融合在一起的。是循序渐进的铺陈,还是出乎意料的转折?主人公的“觉醒”是突然发生的,还是一个漫长而痛苦的过程?我期待书中能够有深刻的人物塑造,能够描绘出角色的内心挣扎,以及他们如何克服重重阻碍,最终实现自我的超越。这种类型的书籍,往往能够触及到读者内心最柔软的部分,引发深刻的思考,让我反思自己的生活,重新审视周遭的世界。我希望《Awake in the Dark》能够成为这样一本,能够在我读完之后,依然能在我的脑海中回响,甚至改变我看待事物的方式。
评分《Awake in the Dark》这本书,说实话,我一开始是被它的书名所吸引的。它有一种莫名的吸引力,像是某种召唤,将我带入一种沉思的状态。我脑海中立刻浮现出许多画面:可能是深邃的夜空,繁星点点,但又充满了未知的神秘;也可能是一个人在梦魇中挣扎,渴望找到一条通往清醒的道路。这种“黑暗”与“觉醒”的对比,本身就充满了戏剧张力,让我对接下来的故事充满了期待。我很好奇,作者会如何描绘这层“黑暗”?它是一种外在的困境,还是内心深处的挣扎?而主人公又是如何一步步走向“觉醒”的?这其中会经历怎样的磨难?又会有怎样的顿悟?这些问题都在我翻开书之前,在我脑海中不断盘旋。我希望作者能够描绘出深刻的人物内心,让我能够感同身受,仿佛我就是那个在黑暗中摸索前行的人。我希望故事能够触及到我内心深处的情感,引发我的共鸣,让我反思自己的生活,思考人生的意义。这种类型的作品,往往能够带给我最大的震撼,因为它不仅仅是在讲述一个故事,更是在引导我进行一次灵魂的对话。我喜欢那种读完之后,依然久久不能平静,反复回味的书籍,它会在我的生命中留下深深的印记。《Awake in the Dark》无疑,在书名这个层面,已经成功地激起了我最深层次的好奇心和求知欲。
评分RE最为影评人最动人的一点就是对一切电影和电影人的尊重。
