I went to see the movie "A Beautiful Day in the Neighborhood" today, and when I came back, I learned more about the life story of the supporting character "Mr. Rogers" in the movie. Just like Fred Rogers played by Tom Hanks in the film, in reality, he is always a gentle, polite, humble and patient "saint" in his public image. For 33 years, he has appeared in front of the audience with exactly the same outfit, tone, and movement on TV, and even maintained a weight of 143 pounds, which has never changed. Until now, I can't help but think that such people actually exist. The film's leading man, Royd Vogel, is a rebellious and edgy journalist who's just becoming a father and is unknowingly entering a new phase in his life. He also encounters family responsibilities, irreconcilable conflicts with his father, and irreparable childhood pain. At this time, Rogers walked into Vogel's life, gently but firmly opened Vogel's heart, and guided him to learn to take responsibility, mend his heart, and forgive the past. Vogel, who has been influenced by his native family for many years, also experienced the same rebellion, struggle, confusion and reconciliation as he was adolescence in the process of entering middle age. In the end, he successfully survived this "second" growth, stepping out of the shadows of the past and embracing new life. In fact, people grow up throughout their lives: newborn children grow, wives who have just become mothers grow, even fathers who lie in hospital beds in their later years say, "I think I'm just beginning to learn how to live." Learning to deal with the world, learning to deal with all kinds of people, learning to understand the good and the bad (though mostly bad). Some people are fortunate enough to grow up quickly, but more people, like the hero, have been entangled with childhood bruised by the outside world all their lives. Without the presence of Mr. Rogers, this stretched growth pain would have been resolved by another gentle force. What Fred Rogers does to Vogel in the film is what Mr. Rogers is to children on TV. Through this film, it is not difficult for us to understand why Mr. Rogers occupies an important position in the history of the development of the American TV industry, and even the history of TV development in the whole world. Not only did he accompany the growth of several generations in the United States, but the children's TV program he created also led more people from their ignorant childhood along the way. This lovable and lovable neighbor uncle talks to the children about knowing themselves, opening their hearts, and also discussing death, divorce, and even war and racial issues. He does not choose to avoid talking about sensitive topics like most adults, and he never establishes a strong image in front of children and instills "correct" truth. mr rogers The image is more like a gentle force. It helps children understand the light and darkness of the world in a gentler way, and guards them to grow up slowly. In addition, the film also hints at a different person from "Mr. Rogers", Fred, the perfect "screen image". He is also an ordinary person who has his own family and is also troubled by father and son issues, but at the same time he may also be a perfectionist who strives for the happiness of more people and sticks to his lofty mission as a TV personality. The responsibilities on his shoulders have accumulated over time and become a kind of pressure, which is exerted on Fred's shoulders. The mission of media practitioners and the innocent expectations of children together support him to persist in this "acting" for decades. . Like the picture-in-picture at the beginning of the film, the roles of actors, characters, and characters achieve a nested relationship here. At the end of the film, Fred Rogers sat alone in the studio where the recording ended and played the piano. As the lights went out a little bit, the melodious music suddenly fell, making a chaotic trembling noise, and then quickly resumed the previous of lightness and smoothness. In 2003, Rogers died of cancer in Pittsburgh. Since then, whether it was a painful childhood, trivial family, and the pain of illness were quietly covered up. People will always remember all the tenderness and joy he brought to the world.
