33 years ago, when I was in boot camp, a group of us starting joking around and, as boys will do, we started making fun of people. Mr. Rogers came up and we said some jokes. Immediately a quiet young man stood up and said, with great conviction, "I grew up not far from Mr. Rogers and that man was the same person in real life that he was on his show." "Nobody makes fun of Mr. Rogers around me, ever!" You could see that he meant it and was ready to defend it. All this time later and I still often think about that moment and the sort of man Fred Rogers had to be to engender that kind of response.
His conviction in that statement really had an influence on you. That was a wonderful story. I hope we can "as men" inspire someone to come our defense as that man did for Mr. Roger's, truly a remarkable human being.
The amount of times as a grown man that I find myself searching up Mr Roger’s clips is a little crazy. It’s my reminder to be gentle and kind because that’s not my natural state
You know every day he read the Bible too and played the piano with his wife. He got mad but the difference he turned around and used it for something else.
You can see the genuine care and concern when Mr Rogers asks about Lloyd's fight with his father. In real life, Mr Rogers was exactly that way. I personally know a Presbyterian minister who was a friend of his, and said Mr Rogers genuinely cared about each and every person he met, and that he believed in the value of every human being. Lord, help us to be kind to one anither, whomever we may meet, even when we disagree or see things differently. Help us to be kind, even so. That is how we have peace in this world. One smile and one kind word at a time.
7:30 Mr Rogers did not play a character. He was always that way, according to those who knew him. He was just that "different and beautiful" everywhere he went.
8:48 is my favorite shot of any movie ever for all time. Rogers's reaction to Lloyd saying he fought with his father conveys so much. His reaction to Lloyd admitting that the black eye was from a fight was like (nonverbally) "I'm sorry that happened, but that kind of thing just happens some times. You can't get along with everyone". But learning that the fight was between a father and his son made the situation a wayyy bigger deal. An indication of something far more terrible than not getting along with any random person. The way Tom Hanks leans forward with a completely different expression than in the previous shot of him. His smile is gone. And in this shot, Lloyd has a line after "oh my", but we don't cut back to him. We hang on Rogers's reaction. He's showing us how much he values the relationship between parents and their kids. It's such an important bond. Also the 2 shots of Lloyd before that from 8:24 to 8:40 where he decides to continue indulging Rogers and say who he fought with. That shot lasts *16* whole seconds. That's an eternity for shot length in modern movies. This movie is full of very long shots that hang on the actors' faces. It's a fantastic directing decision that lets us really sit with and appreciate the emotions of the characters.
To do a two hour backstory on Mr. Rogers would’ve been tearing the wings off a butterfly. I like that they focused less on explaining Mr. Rogers and more on fleshing out Lloyd and the way Mr. Rogers impacted his life.
When growing up i had a similar program that was inspired by Mr Rogers, even the theme song was similar though we changed neighbor for friend. Even when i didn't know his name, Mr Rogers was still there. Just magical.
The emotions in that mans eyes when he knew he had to explain hislef to Mr. Rogers, because of his concern, was oscar worthy, so much pain and guilt in his eyes. Truly an amazing scene between the two of them.
No one else could have played this part. Tom Hanks is the kind of actor that comes along once in a generation. One very unique actor portraying one very unique human being. Mr. Rogers was not an actor. That man was simply one of the purest souls to ever grace this planet and personally, I'm eternally grateful that for a time, I was under the same sky and breathing the same oxygen as this man. We miss you, Mr Rogers.❤
I remember this movie. It was so sad when Lloyd’s father died at the end of the movie. Mr. Rogers said that when you are dying, you are closer to G-d. Fred was a good man and according to the movie, so was Lloyd, but I don’t believe that Lloyd was his real name.
Someday, I'm going to read a biography of Fred Rogers. I'm currently reading about Rev. W. Awdry. But whenever I'm ready to read about Mister Rogers, the book I chose was The Good Neighbor: The Life and Work of Fred Rogers and it's by Maxwell King.
The concern happiness to see a complete stranger and concern on his face when when he saw Lloyd was beautiful. Its my favorite scene in the entire film. I didnt grow up with a father or a posituve male role model. And ive always hoked that Tom Hanks was my real dad and Patrick swayze was my uncle😂 i still laugh everytime i think about it.

Amazing, thank you for this. Enough to make a grown man cry

I grew up in Latrobe...
I meant this wonderful human being many times!
In this day and age, there will never be another man like this!
Boy this kind of kindness is so missing in todays world

I think it's still there, in many thousands of small gestures. I think it needs to celebrated more.
@@QwertyTSecond very well said. and if you can't find someone who's kind in today's world, maybe that's because it should start with you.

Mr Rogers the type of friend who would say "Yo holy shit you ok? Talk to me bro"

That hug between mr Rogers and the disabled heart melting with love 😊

I remember i went to see this movie. I had no idea I would cry in the theater watching it 😂
I cried at this movie and even more watching the documentary Won’t you be my neighbor 😊
Absolutely heartwarming yet bittersweet that Mr. Rogers was concerned for Lloyd right from the beginning but he tried dismissing his pain
I agree Anne Boonechuy
Such a nice movie.this is a famous scene apparently this happened in real life.
When growing up i had a similar program that was inspired by Mr Rogers, even the theme song was similar though we changed neighbor for friend.
Even when i didn't know his name, Mr Rogers was still there. Just magical.

We can't fire him .... 😂😂😂😂
They can’t fire Mr. Roger’s. It’s his show
Can I fire myself? Is the right question

One very unique actor portraying one very unique human being. Mr. Rogers was not an actor.

Who do you think he was? Mitch Albom?
“Play at the plate”
“Maybe shouldn’t have lead with your face.”

From these 3 clips. It's my mission to watch this film today!
Idk how with no dough$!🤷♂️😬💔🙁
it was on netflix
Hope you got to see it and enjoyed it!
No Way could I sit through this film with dry eyes!
I wish employers and management had these mannerisms, I’m going to watch and try to mirror this
Sheriff Woody hugs Grimes the Shark.
Waaaait, Call Elias????
Woody meets Belo
0:28 what a petty thing to lie about. It would have made no difference if he just told that plain truth...
Wished they would have picked another actor, I can't stand Hanks, he's the opposite morally of Mr Rogers
