If you are not happy, then I will buy you roses

Colorful houses, trams running through the streets, flashing traffic lights, brisk music... The picture unfolds from the pictures of children's programs, using a novel and unique way of narration. The film is adapted from real events, and the story takes place in Between children's show host Rogers and journalist Lloyd. Different from other films, the plot of the film switches between the program screen and the protagonist's life scene. In the program, Rogers uses a slow and gentle rhythm to tell the children about realistic concepts such as life and death, marriage, war, etc. The sincerity touched Lloyd, who lived in a corner of his life, and changed Lloyd, who was not good at getting along with others, and made his family happy. There is a passage in the film that touched me very much. Rogers said: "Our biggest mistake is to forget our childhood. When you think back to how you felt, you will know how to treat your children." In real life, many people have experienced it. I have bad memories with my parents, but when I grow up, I will treat my children with the same attitude. Childhood wounds are often the worst, but the reality is that not everyone can meet Rogers and be the one to be healed. In reality, goodwill is often criticized and questioned. No one may be a saint, but there will always be gentle and kind people, and there will always be people willing to listen. When the screen shows this kindness and wisdom, when Rogers speaks with a gentle and slow rhythm, when music and dolls are combined, it is enough to awaken the childhood memories of the audience in front of the screen and show the softness of people's hearts. , is a meaningful and heartwarming healing film.

If you are unhappy, I will buy you roses, okay?

    Tom Hanks’s holy light is too heavy, the male protagonist sees him as if he was enlightened by Guanyin, and instantly empowers...hahaha

    On the Friday after Thanksgiving, the strange aunt sitting next to me thanked me for watching the movie with her at the end credits. That's the power of movies. Tom Hanks spent two hours giving all the audience a mental massage, and there may not be a second person in the entire film industry who is more suitable to interpret such a role than him. It's interesting to see where the narrative cuts in and how it breaks the fourth wall through the TV show. The only problem is that the description of the change in the father-son relationship in the second half is still somewhat unsatisfactory, which is worse than this year's Ad Astra.

A Beautiful Day in the Neighborhood quotes

  • [Fred is being interviewed by Arsenio Hall]

    Arsenio Hall: There's an attitude out there. There's some things going on. A lot of hopelessness. What do we need to do?

    Fred Rogers: There's no simple answers, of course. But if we could, through television programs, as well as every other imaginable program, let people know that each one of us is precious.

  • Lloyd Vogel: Listen, I realize I need to deal with my feelings. When I'm scared, which I was in the hospital, and I have been for a long time, I get really angry. I know it's a way of saying, "I can't deal with this. Get away from me." But that's not what I want. It's actually the opposite of what I want.
