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.

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.
