Not long ago, "Time Magazine" selected the 20 19 annual best film, in addition to a few that were well known to the public, I have been there a concern which is also listed in: Tom Hanks starred in "neighborhood "A Beautiful Day in the Neighborhood (2019)" tells the story of "American Legend"-Fred Rogers.
So, who is Fred Rogers? Why is it an "American Legend"?
To most Chinese people, it is really strange. But for Americans, this Mr. Rogers is regarded by the American media as "a perfect man second only to God."
He is a legend in the American television industry
Fred Rogers produced and started hosting the famous American children's TV show "Mister Rogers' Neighborhood" in 1968, which was broadcast on the American public television network PBS, and 895 episodes were broadcast in more than 30 years. This is why Americans call him "Mr. Rogers." Before the show starts, Mr. Rogers always sings the theme song of the show, pushes the door into the room, sings, and puts on the red cardigan sweater and blue sneakers. This warm picture has become the most popular among generations of Americans. The fond memories of childhood have also made him well-deserved to become the "father of American children's programs."
He is a legend in the field of children's education
"Children are always the weakest in the world, and their voices and powers are easily overlooked."
Now that I look back at his show "Mister Rogers' Neighborhood" (Mister Rogers' Neighborhood), I will still be impressed by the innocence and sincerity. The format of his TV show is very simple and even now looks a bit "outdated". What is it? To the audience? He is using his true teachings of generations of Americans sincere way. Program, he served as system -chip people, host, puppet shows, a variety of work to write the script, composer and so on. Real power and ability is quite outstanding, and Mr. Rogers, who most appealing to me that he is the children set a lifetime commitment and practice.
In his show, Mr. Rogers performed a dialogue with dolls. At the beginning of each show, Fred Rogers walked into the room briskly, sang the theme song of the show "A Beautiful Day in the Neighborhood", opened the closet, hung up a short coat, put on a Cardigan-style cardigan with a zipper, and changed Put on a pair of navy blue sail-step rubber-soled sneakers, then sit in a chair and begin to talk about the topic of the new day. Although it is a children’s show, the scale of the show is incredibly “open”: from divorce, gun issues, wars, assassinations, and even deaths, to popular issues that emerged in the United States in the 1980s and 1990s, such as racial discrimination, Homosexuality, superheroes... These adults avoid or refuse to tell the "taboo words" to children , but he does not avoid them, but helps children discover the value of everyday things. He believes that every child has a fair understanding of the world s right. Mr. Rogers once said, "I'll tell you what the children need: They need adults to protect them from things that are waiting for opportunities to corrupt their world."
When the children approached the neighbor Mr. Rogers, they would boldly express their love. We have spent too much time since we were young to learn how to restrain love, but so far many people do not know how to respect love. But as Mr. Rogers said: To like is to like, there is no doubt that children need to hear this. He let millions of children know that there is nothing wrong with "love" at the most special time in their lives.
He is a legend who saves souls
Fred Rogers has maintained a weight of 143 pounds all year round, because the number 1 represents "I", 4 represents the four letters of "LOVE", and 3 represents the three letters of "YOU", which together represent "I LOVE YOU". This is Mr. Rogers’ private digital studies. International cellist Yoyo Ma was once invited to the show "Mr. Rogers' Neighborhoods". When he recalled Mr. Rogers, he exclaimed, "That 143 pounds makes me crazy! Try it, I can't do it!"
Rogers has a classic saying: "I like you like this". Jeff, a four-year-old child living in a wheelchair, came to Mr. Rogers's show before a dangerous operation. Rogers squatted down and looked at him, chatting and talking like any ordinary child. Finally, Rogers sang to the child. A song: I like you/not what you wear/not your hair style/your current look/your heart/not your cute chair/every part of you/your skin/your feelings/whatever Is it old or new/I hope you will remember/. Later, the operation was successful, and Rogers won the award many years later, and the award was given by Jeff. "I like you like this", his famous saying has inspired countless people who are frustrated and wandering on the edge of themselves.
In 1997, Rogers won the Daytime Emmy Award for Lifetime Achievement. On the scene, he issued a famous statement as his acceptance speech. He said, "All of us have special people who love us. Can you and I spend ten seconds together thinking about those who help you become yourself. Silent for ten seconds, I will watch the time." He paused for ten seconds and looked at his watch. When ten seconds passed, he said "May God be with you", which was a sensation in the United States at that time.
It is said that this famous "silent scene" will also be seen in Tom Hanks' new film "A Beautiful Day in the Neighborhood". What’s very interesting is that in the movie "Nearby from Hell", which Tom Hanks once starred in, there is a scene: He was lying in bed, watching the children’s show "Mr. Rogers’ Neighborhoods", which seemed like a A shocking egg stalk that has gone through decades! More interestingly, it is written on Wikipedia: "Fred Rogers is Tom Hanks' sixth representative."
I hope this film will be introduced. I think it is a good film for warmth and healing. I look forward to Tom Hanks' "Forrest Gump" and also look forward to bringing a touch of warmth in the winter.
