On a personal level, this is deeply depressing. I may have read more total words written by Roger Ebert than any other writer in history. The man&#8217;s writings on movies, film theory, politics, religion, and more are some fo the most insightful and most beautifully articulated pieces I&#8217;ve ever read. <\/p>\n<p>And for the world of film, the loss needs no further explanation. <\/p>\n<p>Check out this TED talk from 2011, in which Ebert discusses the loss of his voice. It&#8217;s incredible stuff. <\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"http:\/\/embed.ted.com\/talks\/roger_ebert_remaking_my_voice.html\" width=\"616\" height=\"343\" frameborder=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\" webkitAllowFullScreen mozallowfullscreen allowFullScreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>Ebert&#8217;s last written words were these, published in <a href=\"http:\/\/blogs.suntimes.com\/ebert\/2013\/04\/a_leave_of_presense.html\">an earlier essay<\/a> about taking a &#8220;leave of presence&#8221; due to returning health problems.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;So on this day of reflection I say again, thank you for going on this journey with me.
