    Fred Rogers was a genius. He got it, he really understood kids. I want to see this movie because 1. it's about Fred Rogers and 2. Tom Hanks is playing him. I know though without a doubt I'll be crying my eyes out.

      @@tyvulpintaur2732 that's true too, but that's where the faith part comes in. Personally every atheist who used to be religious that I've spoken to about it has said that they walked away because of the hypocrisy. You can have your own personal belief in god A, B, or C, but if the other people in the religion aren't actually following in the beliefs or even the "spirit" or idea of the religion it makes it very difficult to be a part of that organization. For example, the pastor who cheats on his wife, but then gets up every Sunday to condemn that very act isn't really someone who you are going to listen to. I walked away from mine when I realized that there was an underlying subtle hatred of anyone deemed "different." Christians in particular should be Christ like, right? Helping their fellow man, helping the needy, tending the sick, etc. Yet most are massively self centered and think that simple belief in their God somehow puts them on a pedestal above the masses, while never sacrificing or doing a single "Good works" that helps anyone other than themselves or those close to them. Now, I'm not saying that they should be going out and spending every dollar they have to help others, but the arrogance they seem to hold toward others of "lesser station" or people who have made mistakes in their past just turned me off to the whole thing. Nowadays after reading many different religious texts I would say I lean more toward Buddhism than any other organized religion, mostly because it is about improvement of self, and thru that improvement of your surroundings and community. But that's just leaning, not really going full dive. Sorry about the paragraph lol

    What I love about Fred Rogers is his genuine caring about the world. Mr. Rogers (his entire life, philosophy, & body of work) has always been an integral part of my life. (Born in 1980). I've said for years that he is not only America's favorite neighbor, but most respected teacher, and role model. Basically, to me, he's America's Dali Lama.
    American/Christian Fred Rogers = Tibetan/Buddhist Dali Lama.
    It's all about compassion for the world and your fellow human beings.

    What happened for me was based on the fact that I remember what it was like and how I felt when I was three. My memories are vivid of it and I have decided that who we were, when we were three, is really the exact representation of who we really are. I remember how loved I felt, I was perfect I felt golden. It wasnt until just recently that I realized how emotional I felt about Mr. Rogers because he reminded me what it felt like to be golden, perfect, loved. I mean, we move so far away from that as we grow; school, friends, bullies, work, everything and everyone really. To be an adult and to be reminded of what it feels like to be loved unconditionally, or valued or important, is beyond description. Occassionally a pet will make you feel like that, but a human????? thats damn rare.

I never dreamed of having kids of my own that would watch it too, but my 6 year old son (by his choice) just absolutely has to watch Mr. Roger’s Neighborhood almost every night right before bed. We pull it up on the TV app RUclips, my phone or his tablet and we watch it together or he watches it with his granny. Since this habit started, he’s yet to have another nightmare in his sleep. The peace it brings to his mind before bed is amazing and I’ll forever be grateful for Fred Rogers.

    Fred Rogers may be the closest thing to a "Christ-like" figure that anyone alive right now will ever know of. This was a man who genuinely cared for others and sought the good and humanity in absolutely everyone. There wasn't an ounce of judgment in his body. He lived to foster understanding and in particular to assure those just starting to become aware of themselves as individual people (ie - young kids) that their feelings mattered and were important. And not in a participation trophy, everything's ok kind of way. But just in acknowledging the fundamental truth that we are all beings created with fundamental similarities and we all benefit from knowing that what we think and feel matters. Buy stock in the Kleenex corporation now. There's gonna be a spike in sales when this movie comes out. I recently lost a good friend to suicide and that individual posted something to Twitter on the day of his death that in retrospect was very Fred Rogers-like that I'll end with and encourage others to do.

    If people were closer to the Church today, and understood that Mr. Rogers was an Ordained Presbyterian minister who's ministry was aimed at the well being of children.... it all makes perfect sense. But because it was aimed at the secular world though public television, he couldn't come right out and confess Christ or the Bible. It worked though, because Mr. Rogers taught us what Jesus did. "Thou shalt Love the Neighbor as thyself." ~ Matthew 22:39. Our World needs a lot more of what Mr. Rogers taught.

      If the church was more Christ-like and Christians actually followed Jesus' examples people probably wouldn't be abandoning religion in droves in modern times. Not saying there aren't true Christians out there but it seems like they are harder and harder to find nowadays. Everyone is caught up in some kind of hate. Anti lgbtq, racism, sexism, take your pick. Jesus walked with prostitutes and brought food to lepers. He did not judge, he simply accepted, and tried to lead people to a better path and that seems to be a simple thing most cannot do today.

    Growing up in England I wasn’t familiar with Mr Rogers until I moved to the US. I’ve just seen the movie (already seen the documentary) and have more of an appreciation for him than ever. He was perfect for his time, before kids became addicted to electronic games and had their attention span reduced to a few seconds. The world is a much poorer place without him.

    I'll be honest. Tom Hanks is a phenomenal actor because from the trailers I've seen of this movie, which made me cry, he embodied who Fred Rogers was/is but in this interview... Hanks is not a Mister Rogers person and that's okay not everyone is but he doesn't get what the show was about, who it was for, I'm not even sure he really understands what Fred Rogers' mission truly was. Anyone can say "It was a show with puppets for 2-5 year olds. Feelings were important to Mister Rogers". I'm glad he did his research. Again, he did a great acting job. I'm just disappointed because Fred Rogers is an important reality to me and to millions of others (adults as well as kids) but obviously not important to Tom Hanks. He is carrying a responsibility not just an honor with this role and I thought he could have showed something akin to reverence. He looked bored and bordered on making fun of the "Neighborhood" with some unnecessary comments.

      Rachel A. I actually can't get myself to see this film for this reason, and as well, because physically I find Tom's mannerisms, even the strength of his voice and movements, seemingly completely opposite to Fred Rogers. I know I would only watch it and think the whole time "thats not how that was" or "Mr Rogers never would have done it like that". Tom Hanks is great, but I would have preferred someone a bit more similar in vision and in breadth of understanding of this role. For some reason, Ewan McGregor instantly comes to mind as someone I might have cast. Not sure why.

      No, my original comment on this site is the only comment I've made towards Tom Hanks' personal attitude about Fred Rogers. And if you read other comments on this thread I'm not alone in how I feel. I have made many comments on other videos which feature the trailer for the "It's a Beautiful day in the Neighborhood" movie about how excited I am to see it because I am a Mister Rogers fan and I still believe, regardless of his behavior here, that Tom Hanks was the best actor for the job. My honesty and positivity isn't crap or spam. Have a nice day.

    When Hanks said that the show was not for him, and that you can't watch that show as an adult and be entertained, I stopped the video and yelled, "Tom! You're missing the whole point!"
    Even as a child, I didn't watch the show to be entertained. I didn't find it very entertaining most of the time. I hated those puppets. I didn't even watch it for the life lessons he taught. I was already too old to derive any benefit from most of them. I knew them already.
    I watched it for HIM. For Mister Rogers, and the way that he made me feel. He touched my heart like nobody else could. Every time. Even at this moment, thinking about him and his gentle, loving voice simultaneously makes me feel warm and loved, and makes me cry.
    I'm glad that Hanks found his own way to value Fred Rogers, the more he learned about him. How could it be otherwise?

      I watched it for Fred too. The puppets looked sort of scary to me but it was his voice and his pause that made me feel important watching. I talk to my grandkids with their stuffed animals and they talk right back even though my hand and voice are right there. He knew that about kids and used it to touch a generation and now with Daniel Tigers Neighborhood it’s helping a new generation.

    I appreciate an actor who has to go through a journey to understand and respect the person they're playing. Those early biases like feeling too old or bored by something can become deep rooted if you don't have a reason to revisit them. Maybe he didn't need the quiet as a kid like a lot of us did. Maybe he'd already internalized the societal norms of not talking about your feelings. The fact that playing Mr. Rogers has made him a better communicator NOW is a gift in itself. That tells me Fred did his job, and Tom did his and I am SO excited to see this movie.

    I never grew up with Mr Rogers but absolutely love this movie, it has such heart, such a beautiful message, it doesn’t sugar coat anything or anyone. Mr Rogers is not an infallible hero here but he is an amazing human being, and the story being told about grief and forgiveness and all facets of human emotion and virtues and vices. For me its an absolutely classic, it carries so much therapeutic weight, its a bit like a Good Will Hunting sort of film, its sorely underrated considering it seems it barely made any money, and besides critical praise ive never heard ppl mention it since. Of course its amazing because its about Mr Rogers but its a wonderfully written film, it could’ve easily been cheesy or schmaltzy or just been about Mr Rogers himself, and ppl would’ve been fine with that, the amazing thing is that the movie is mostly about some guy no one’s heard of rather than the namesake and yet it absolutely works for the story. It didn’t depend on Mr Rogers as a symbol to carry the film but it incorporated him into a deep emotional story.
