A Beautiful Day in the Neighborhood

Actually, I was reluctant if shall watch or not. Tom Hanks is compelling and heart warming as Fred Rogers, a man which specialty is to healing crippled people, crippled inside. A true life history about how moral values ever preveals in the worst of times.

Not a bad movie but surprised that this movie received so much acclaim. Tom Hanks is great but this movie is more obvious than a Hallmark movie. I was surprised to find out this isn't a movie about Mr. Rogers' life. My mistake although I try to avoid trailers and reading about movies as then the movie is usually spoiled.

I liked this film, but I don't know if expectations are going to be met for audiences regarding the film's focus. They weren't for me. This is much more of a story about how Mr. Rogers affected Lloyd Vogel than it is about Mr. Rogers. In fact, I'd argue Tom Hanks is not even a co-lead in this film. Don't get me wrong, an interesting, if subtle, story is 1 told here and most people will walk out happy (myself included), but it is not what most will expect. I did like it fine, but I thought it was just okay. It was no "Won't You Be My Neighbor? "from last year. The story was just a bit too undramatic and (probably true to life to evoke the big feels I wanted from it. Ifs fine to tell an honest story, but to dramatize a true story for the big screen usually means you punch it up with some real drama. With this film, I didn't feel that work had been done. Now *that may be a choice that was made* because Mr. Rogers was often quite subtle in how he conveyed stories and messages, bui the result here was just a bit too "meh" for me. Still, there was one moment in the film that will stick with me as something I've never seen a film do before and that had a real effect on myself and, seemingly, the audience I was in. So there's some good and some 1 bad here. I won't be revisiting it. Recommend if you 4 are a Mr. Rogers fan (who isn't?) and are okay with it 4 not quite being a film *about* Fred Rogers.

I don't know Mr. Rogers and just recently got to know his old show. I want to mention a strange thing i noticed in the first 20 minutes of the movie: When the director shows the Back stage of Mr. Roger's Neighbor show, we don't see any of the (male)directors of the show there - or anywhere after that - and instead we see "Maggie" (Margaret Whitmer) one of the producers and a chick who's the first **** now we change contemporary history because of feminism?

This isn’t the Mr. Rogers I remember. He was emotionally intelligent, not some pushy magician who could see into your soul. This was very disturbing.
