Do you know Mr. Rogers, I didn't know that until I watched A Beautiful Day in the Neighborhood. But when I watched this film, I began to regret why my childhood was not accompanied by such a Mr. Rogers. In the words of an American child, "Mr. Rogers was a very, very, very good neighbor", and the child grew up saying "He's my hero". "A Beautiful Day in the Neighborhood" is a biographical film about Rogers, but the film begins with a "truth-telling" reporter Royce making a riot at the wedding scene, fighting passionately with his father, listening to their conversation , I am confused that they are not good people, irresponsible as a father, impulsive and violent as a son, and Royce's wife is also very dissatisfied with him. With the development of the film, when the two parallel lines of Royce and Rogers intersect, we can understand the deep meaning of the screenwriter in the Rogers fairy tale castle arranged in the film, that is, if there is no Rogers, Americans without childhood will still have No power to love and be loved? The answer is probably no. If you want to know about Mr. Rogers, you can search for his information. Obviously, Rogers' life cannot be compressed into this two-hour film, but the most heartwarming things have filled our eyes with Rogers' red sweater. It is mentioned in the film that Rogers in life is not a good-natured gentleman, but his wife jokingly mentioned his way to defuse his anger, stop talking, calm down, but this is something that most people can't do. Even if the love for Mr. Rogers, the "sage", is produced through this film, it has a time limit, and what really makes people fascinated by his charm is his ten-year consistent program. Persistence is a very long-term feeling. Just like every generation of Americans for the past three decades, their childhoods were spent with Rogers puppet shows, and when they became teenagers, those songs that occasionally reverberated in their minds led them to a bright future. , When they are middle-aged, they hold their children and accompany the children to watch the old man on TV. The warm feeling, the bright direction, accidentally dyed their eyes red. Years of wind, frost and swords are pressing against each other, but you still stick to the same place.

    MH has been trying to mend the gap between sharp criticism and tenderness, and her style is arguably the most balanced variant of the traditional value narrative of 90s Hollywood after diversity and gender issues prevailed. She continues to polish this kind of human story with gentle and occasional entry points. It seems old-fashioned, but the great thing about MH is that she does not blur "who to blame" in traditional values, but dares to make the characters repent (this is also the religious color that cannot be erased in her movies (maybe Imperceptible). The confession is often divided into explicit and implicit. For example, in the end, the male protagonist offered to bring more children, and the entire protagonist’s character line has become a very complete and intelligent writing (there are also explicit and implicit in this story. As for writing about Rogers, it’s pretty much the only way to get the best of both worlds. He’s a mystery in real life, and he’s a mystery in film. So this dramatic work forms a connection to reality, and it’s the only way Retaining the power. From the seemingly old-fashioned but in the details to rethink the social and family conflicts, it is already a very good one.

    The strangest thing about the film is that the "saint" played by Tom Hanks, the famous TV host Mr. Rogers, is obviously the supporting role in the whole story, but it is the premise of the existence of this story (the film) and the ultimate narrative. Purpose. The protagonist of the story, that is, the shadow of the actor (investigative reporter), cannot be found on the movie poster. However, the protagonist and everything related to him, the consequences, all the pen and ink that spread around him, occupy the film again. At least 70% of the time. Even until the end of the film, the character Rogers was still flat and vague, wearing a veil called "good", an ethereal holy breath, commonly known as "fake fairy spirit", like an effort to please the world. , A conscientious, thoughtful and good old man.
