After watching this film, I don't know where to start to comment on the whole film, I can only say that this film has healed my heart. Life is unsatisfactory, nine times out of ten. But life's disappointment seems to be nothing to the positive Fred Rogers.
The biggest feature of this film, I think it's the whole picture, the 4:3 ratio of the original old TV takes us back to the era that belonged to Fred Rogers. Some of the details in the film also make the whole film full of the atmosphere of the times. For example, old-fashioned computers, old-fashioned cameras, and the furnishings and working process of the original magazine. These are full of the spirit of the times.
Secondly, I would also like to talk about the background music of the film. Every piece of music in this film has its purpose and is just right. For example, at the beginning of the film, there is a section where Lloyd takes the stage to accept the award and give his acceptance speech. Before he finished publishing, a sad piece of music was played, followed by applause. The sad background music here just represents Lloyd's heart. Although he won the award, his heart is sad because he doesn't believe in human nature and true feelings in this world. For another example, at the end of the film, some heavy bass sounds in Flender's piano piece are a way for him to vent his emotions, which is also related to the previous plot. During the second official interview between Flanders and Lloyd, Lloyd asked Flanders how to deal with his emotions. Flanders said that he would play the lowest notes of the piano to vent his emotions. These two plots echo each other, making the whole film look more coherent, and also making Flander, the "saint", become more fireworks.
Finally, I want to talk about the portrayal of the characters by the two actors. I think there is a different emphasis on the portrayal of the two characters in this film. The portrayal of Flanders should not only have the feeling of a "sage", but also the smell of fireworks, but also have a childlike innocence, and at the same time have the kind of polite temperament. As for Lloyd's characterization, it is more about emotional changes. At the beginning, he didn't believe in human nature, the conflicts in the family were increasingly intensified, and the work was not going well, which put him in a low pressure. But in the follow-up contact with Flender, he slowly opened his heart, accepted, overcame, understood, and finally reconciled with his family, himself, and the world. Therefore, the focus of these two characters is different. But it has to be said that the two actors' portrayal of these two characters was successful, because they moved the audience and allowed us to get a closer understanding of these two strangers we have never seen before, even strangers who are far away from us. .
Plus, I got to know the real Flanders Rogers. I found that Tom Hanks' Flander Rogers was like the real Flander Rogers. The real Flanders is called "surrogate dad" because his "Mister Rogers' Neighbors" has accompanied the growth of generations, and he never mind showing his imperfections, because he wants to teach children, Learn to accept your imperfections. "Sometimes, even when adults make plans, they go wrong," says Flender after his failed tent-up in the movie. Flender's show covers a very wide range, including death, divorce, war and other dark side content, but Flender believes that children will experience these things one day, and what I can do is to guide them to learn to accept and understand. Maybe this is what we call great love, Flender has always been full of hope for life. So his positivity also influenced his friend, Lloyd. It also influenced generations of viewers who grew up watching his shows. In the film, the most impressive thing should be that moment of silence. This minute is for us Lloyd to think, why not let us think? So it seems to me that Flanders not only healed Lloyd's broken heart, but also infects us with his hopeful attitude towards life.
No one is perfect, but it is such a person, which made me feel that there really is such a perfect person. His words are like the warm sun in winter, shining into my heart and warm. It turns out that a positive attitude towards life is really contagious. The old adage "close to the vermilion is red, close to the ink is black" is the best interpretation of the friendship between Flanders and Lloyd.
