A Beautiful Day in the Neighborhood

I have never seen anything of mister roger (I'm Dutch and we didn't have it on television as far as i can remember), but nonetheless i think this captures the vision that is betrayed by mister rogers. I thought it was an amazing film and it really made me feel, I even teared up a bit (happy tears) when [spoiler]he asked us to think (for a minute) about the people who loved us[/spoiler] it was so amazingly "simple" yet so accurate and deep. I could go on and on but I think the only thing I could really say is go watch the movie and enjoy. PS: The cast was casted brilliantly and Tom Hanks and Matthew Rhys did an amazing job.

I finally sat down to watch this film. I was expecting a feel good biopic of Mr Rogers (with Tom Hanks). It's not what I expected at all, but the film was more beautiful for it.

I did not grew up watching Mr Rogers. Most of what I know about him was through this show. But I kinda grew up watching Tom Hanks, and I'm sure that I will be devastated the day he passed. He is truly a living treasure.

amazing movie, really enjoyed every minute of it

[REVIEW] #ABeautifulDayMovie 10/10 stars - I almost gave this 9 stars because of tiny continuity errors I noticed but then I imagined Tom Hanks as Mr. Rogers asking me why I'm afraid to love with my whole heart and TEN STARS IT IS, MR ROGERS!

I've read people's comments about and there are articles about how this is not a Mr. Rogers movie and he is only a character in Lloyd's story. Respectfully, I completely disagree.

Mr. Rogers probably doesn't have over 50% of the screentime, it's true. But there are movies about Santa Claus without him on screen very much. There are stories about magic where very little magic actually happens. There are stories about joy that mostly contain despair but that doesn't make them any less about joy and more about despair. There are stories with a big MacGuffin, yes, but there are other stories that revolve distantly around the most vital component and I submit that this is an example of the latter.

Mr. Rogers frames the movie. He starts it, he ends it, and every proper act break where a meaningful action has consequences involves Mr. Rogers in a way that could only be enacted by exactly him. Lloyd is the MacGuffin. Everything in Lloyd's arc is stuff that could happen to anybody, anywhere, and only exists in this story to give Mr. Rogers situations in which to be kind in a way we should all aspire to emulate. You could 100% replace Lloyd and his life with any other "broken people" and the story would have just as much of an impact on the audience and just as much plot and meaning.

Tom Hanks, in possibly the most Mr Rogers way, doesn't steal the scenes, though you might be tempted just to give them to him. He does less of an impression of Fred and more of a careful study, akin to an apprentice's work resembling his master's. The supporting actors support the HECK out of this film, with extra light shining from Maryann Plunkett as Joanne Rogers and Maddie Corman as Lady Anberlin. Matthew Rhys and Chris Cooper furiously and gently chew on our emotions more than the scenery.

But Tom Hanks. Mercy!

This film made me anxious during the fights, made me cry in the silence, and made me laugh at the wonder. Please see it.

I loved this movie. The more I think about it, the more I like it. It's really the tale of the power and positive impact that genuine goodness can have on others. I felt like this did tell the tale of Fred Rogers, just not in a direct, shine-the-spotlight-on-him way--which from all the interviews I've ever seen and everything I've ever read about the man and his personality, seems an appropriate way to do it.

I think the fact that it's based on a true story makes it all the more impressive. I left the theater wanting to be a better and more genuine person that can make a positive impact on others. Can't say the last movie that had that kind of an impact on me.

Wow! What an amazing movie. This movie will touch your soul. The story telling method was inspired.

This is the rare film that makes me feel awkward trying to describe as it is indescribable. I felt the movie on such a deep and profound level that I was exhausted as it ended. It was nothing like I thought it was going to be and more than I hoped it would be. I can't say anything more than would do it justice.

For those of you that were looking for more story... you completely missed the movie.

i trully loved this movie! simple and beautiful!

A Beautiful Day in the Neighborhood is a powerful and moving film about friendship and forgiveness. Based on a true story, investigative journalist Lloyd Vogel interviews children’s television entertainer Fred Rogers for an article, but it soon turns into something more as Rogers takes a personal interest in Vogel and his family. Both Tom Hanks and Matthew Rhys give great performances; particularly Hanks, who really captures the spirit and personality of Rogers. Additionally, director Marielle Heller does a brilliant job at homaging the look and feel of the Mr. Rogers Neighborhood show by integrating faux segments of the show as part of the film’s narrative. Incredibly creative and inspiring, A Beautiful Day in the Neighbor is a touching film with a positive message.

Gone but not forgotten.. me, you and Bob Ross will hang when I get up there Fred
