Just some personal feelings

Only from the aspect expressed in the movie, I don’t particularly like the style of Mr. Rogers: too positive; always smiles nicely; always use gentle power to resolve the pain of life; never seem to express There have been negative emotions such as sadness and anger.

When I say "dislike", I don't mean to deny Mr. Rogers or to say that he is hypocritical. It's just that, his image will easily make people think of him as a "saint": reporter Lloyd unknowingly thinks Mr. Rogers is a "saint". In my opinion, a "sage" is too far away from "ordinary people"; and most of us are just "ordinary people", so the image of Mr. Rogers in the movie makes me feel alienated. I tend to think that people are complex polyhedrons, so the external appearance of a person should also be multi-faceted to be more in line with ordinary people.

Of course, the movie still indirectly shows that Mr. Rogers is not a "saint", he has his own pain, he has his own way of expressing and relieving pain, so he is actually a complex polyhedron, but the movie does not express these. . This is what I insist: I "dislike" Mr. Rogers only the expression and performance style he chooses, not the content he delivers.

    As the movie poster said, "there is a kind of hero who saves the soul", this warm film is adapted from a true story. The male protagonist is a newspaper reporter who wants to explore in-depth topics. However, because he feels that his mother's death is his father's fault, the family is full of chicken feathers. In the process of being arranged by the leader to interview the famous children's show host, he was gradually redeemed by his soul, and he also tried to enter the family and understand his father who was bedridden by his anger. In the end, it was naturally a warm little reunion ending.

    In this year's Oscars awards season, which is full of twilight heroes of the underworld, sad songs of down-and-out actresses, divorce, class vendetta, anti-social clowns, etc., this film is a rare touch of warmth. Tencent Pictures, which appeared more than once at the beginning of the film, gave people an inexplicable sense of intimacy. If it weren't for the ban on "foreign festivals", it would be a good thing to arrange the Christmas schedule to be released in China. Tom Hanks is a rare actor in Hollywood who still maintains an elegant and decent appearance at his age, but it is estimated that this year's Oscar male supporting group will win the Irish and Brad Pitt. Perhaps because of Tencent, a Chinese restaurant scene was arranged in the film. During that silent minute, I felt a faint sense of Zen.
