Roger Ebert not only reads his E-mails - he responds

Roger Ebert wrote this the other day.

I was impressed enough to send the following E-mail:

Roger,

Your appreciation for Million Dollar Baby dovetails nicely with your lack
of enthusiasm for My Life Without Me. In the former you admit that you do
not agree with what Maggie does but you appreciate that she does exactly
what the character would do. You also expressed great misgivings about what
Ann, the Sarah Polley character, chooses to do in My Life Without Me. You
dismissed the film in your review largely because you could not accept her
decision, and you defend that position by putting her actions in the context
of the film. Congratulations on sticking to your personal ethical compass.

A longtime fan,
Perry Seibert

And what do I find in my inbox today?:

Thanks for being so thoughtful and finding consistency there. We do
not have to agree with everything the character do in a film to admire
it as a work.
Best,
RE

Thanks, Roger.
