Just some personal feelings

Ashly 2022-01-06 08:01:09

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.
