      coexist

      When I came out of the theater, I met two aunties who wiped their eyes and said, "I knew I would do this, but I still came to see it. I need to cry."

      I don't know Fred Rogers, but from the beginning of the film I was in tears and by the end of the film I was out of breath. Not because of sadness, but because it is too warm.

      The occasional act of holding a pillow last week brought back memories of being held or cuddling my family to sleep as a child. Possibly holding a...

      Moisturizing is silent

      Steven said he was home alone for a long time when he was a kid with only Mr. Rogers by his side. I haven't watched his show, but after watching the documentary, I finally understand why he is loved by so many people. He said to the children I like you just the way you are... thank you for being you. This kind of unconditional fraternity is indeed similar to the love of God for the world in Christianity, but when he said these words sincerely in a full and equal capacity as a...

      Saw the small, became the big

      Before that, I only knew one Rogers, Carl Rogers, a humanistic psychologist.

      This movie made me meet another Rogers, his name is Fred Rogers, who has been a children's educator for almost a lifetime.

      Is this a coincidence? Both Rogers have a kind face and a valued holding of unconditional positive concern for people.

      And Fred, the group of concern, is one of the weakest in the world, one whose voice and power are extremely easy to ignore.

      Fred saw them and valued...

      Elegant and firm "Preacher"

      He is a pastor, the creator of an evergreen American children's show, a "neighbor" who loves every child deeply, and a faith who always speaks softly, slowly and firmly. It is a pill of tranquility when the nation is in a state of panic.

      I haven't written seriously for a long time, and even writing a film review is so difficult and stumbling, I always feel that something is wrong. Empty my head, look at the intertwined bamboos outside the window, review the...

      If the little prince ever existed, it must have been him

      Remember the hat at the beginning of The Little Prince?

      It was actually a snake that only swallowed an elephant.

      "It's such a good feeling to know you're alive. It's such a happy feeling you're growing inside." I don't know how today's children learn to grow, and whether anyone has taught them what love and kindness are, What is sadness and death, how to face ridicule and failure, how to feel happiness and happiness. It's a shame no one taught us this when we were kids. No one respects our childhood, not even ourselves. What Fred has done for the children is unquestionably great. There is nothing greater...

      2018487 One-star mediocre, very emotional, Neville is going to win the Oscar for documentary feature again

    Movie plot

    With his gentle voice and heartfelt intelligence, Fred Rogers has provided a compassionate surrogate father to generations of American children. He believes that love is an essential element of life and can help children through difficult situations, simply using handmade puppets to show tolerance and acceptance. Rogers was an ordained Presbyterian minister who spoke directly and openly to children about his life's work, including his...

    Background creation

    In 2016, director Morgan Neville began the official production of the documentary "Won't You Be My Neighbor?".

Morgan Neville and Fred Rogers' wife Joanne had a lengthy discussion. Morgan Neville didn't want to make the project a Fred Rogers biopic, he was going to...

    Movie quotes

    • Himself - Fred Rogers Center Director: "What would Fred Rogers do"? It's not a question that you can answer. The most important question is, "What are you going to do?"

    • [first lines]

      Fred Rogers: [at his piano] Come on over a minute. I just had some ideas that I've been thinking about for quite while about modulation. It seems to me that there are different themes in life, and one of my main jobs, it seems to me, is to help, through the mass media for children, to help children through some of the difficult modulations of life.

    • Fred Rogers: [to politicians] We need to help our children become more and more aware that what is essential in life is invisible to the eye.
