When it comes to "A Beautiful Day in the Neighborhood", Fred Rogers has to be mentioned first. Fred Rogers is the most famous American children's television host of the past few decades. The program "Mister Rogers' Neighbors" hosted by him is deeply loved by generations of American children. In that era, a children's program that combined puppets, drama, and children's songs was particularly eye-catching. This film, based on a true story, had a far-reaching impact once it was broadcast. After watching the film, I also changed my thoughts before watching the film, and I was deeply moved.
Regarding the neighbors, there is a song about a good day in the neighborhood at the beginning of the film. What is a community? A community is a group of people established by blood, neighbors and friends as opposed to society. As Rogers said, to build a community through television, with neighbors as a closer way of life, neighbors can have different ideas, quarrels, may have fun, in short, "distant relatives are not as good as close neighbors", it is safe sense and happiness of neighbors.
Regarding children, Rogers never shy away from the darkness in human nature, such as war, divorce, etc., which are still dark topics for children. I think this is the necessary guidance and education that parents give to their children in the process of growing up. Only by facing problems can they be fearless and ups and downs. This kind of positive guidance can enable children to face the real world without filters, so that they will not be caught off guard and panic when they see the truth of some worlds. At the same time, the communication between Rogers and their children is the direction that many parents need to learn and shoulder their due responsibilities. The process of parents getting along with their children is the second stage of their growth. Parents see their past self in their children, and they teach their children lessons in their own bodies. In any case, "you look the most beautiful right now".
Regarding the character design, Lloyd in the film is a reporter who is bent on exposing the darkness of society, does not believe in human nature, and even could not forgive his father before. In the communication with Mr. Rogers, he gradually changed his mind. But by the end of the film, Mr. Rogers is sitting at the piano, his fingers running across the keys in the lower range, and he gradually increases the pressure on the keys. At that moment, my heart was shocked. His wife Joanne said: Yes, I call him Roger, why not? Mr. Rogers? "Yeah, otherwise, Fred? Rogers? Or Mr. Rogers? As adults, we hardly believe in pure good people, but for children, Mr. Rogers, he's a good person. enough.
I like you just the way you are.
Love you as you are.
