Ebert is a lib; his views have been expressed many times about reviewing other films of his political beliefs. But when all other film critic snobs were thumbing their elitist noses at "The Passion of the Christ", Ebert praised the film, saying it was by far the best movie of 2004, and one of the greatest achievments in cinematic history.
