Life Itself/Genres

‘Life Itself’ Is The Most Depressing Movie Of 2018, But That’s Kind Of The Point. The film, out Sept. 21, is packed with trauma and tragedy, some of it dropped into the audience’s lap in conspicuously happy moments, some of it creeping in like a cold draft.

The answer is no. This one came straight from Dan Fogelman, who explained to Original Cin that he started writing it stream of consciousness and was influenced by two major events in his life.

College sweethearts Will and Abby fall in love, get married and prepare to bring their first child into the world.

Life Itself/Film synopsis

Either way, this song is a mantra and an anthem: “Life Itself” is about embracing yourself for who you are, and not for what society sees you to be.

CONGRATULATIONS TO STEVE JAMES AND DAVID E. SIMPSON for the Outstanding Editing Emmy they won for “LIFE ITSELF,” the wonderfully life-affirming documentary about my late husband ROGER EBERT.

Will and Abby’s daughter Dylan, born of death and tragedy, seems to have a dark cloud following her throughout her childhood.

Abby gets distracted as Will tells her he’s a big fan, and Abby is struck by a bus. Inside, a little boy named Rodrigo Gonzalez (Adrian Marrero) watches as Will frantically tries to revive Abby. She died, but the baby survived. Will still blames himself for what happened.

Life Itself is not a film of mourning, it is a film of celebration. It is not a lionization, it is an exploration. But most importantly I think it is a film that Roger would be proud of.

Life Itself. The other love story is a bromance between Roger and the hyper-competitive Chicago Tribune critic Gene Siskel, a print rival who became an on-camera debate partner and an off-camera business partner, then finally the brother that Roger, an only child, never had.
