SERIOUSLY. This is what the crap Hollywood still puts out?
View MoreGood start, but then it gets ruined
Simple and well acted, it has tension enough to knot the stomach.
View MoreStrong acting helps the film overcome an uncertain premise and create characters that hold our attention absolutely.
View MoreWon't you be my neighbor is very very good and very important for everything and everyone
View MoreThis film, through it's honest portrayal of a man who unpretentiously and unwaveringly dedicated his entire being to the enhancement of the lives and minds of young children, effortlessly inspires one to rethink their entire life. Fred Rogers' shining example, so beautifully and humbly captured in this documentary, effortlessly leads one to re-think what one can do to make this world a better place, in whatever small measure. And the revelation of his undying faith in the goodness that is present in people convicts the viewers that we have the power to do it, just as we are.Just as TV was taking off and advertisements and other enticements oriented visual programming, this documentary illuminates, without either pretense or condemnation, the simple but earnest conviction of Fred Rogers to use the medium of television for the betterment of society, and, in particular, the betterment of those members of society who were and still are the most vulnerable: young children.His mission is more relevant now than ever before and will continue to be as our world becomes more and more visually oriented. And with one quote, which I will paraphrase, he both calls this orientation into question and summarizes his own mission: "The most important things are those we can not see."The most important, life-changing film I have ever seen.
View MoreMr. Rogers would be upset if he knew how the writers turned his philosophy into a leftist agenda. Despite some genuine insights into a wonderful man, the movie overall pushes liberal politics.. There is a cameo of a smiling Hilary Clinton and soon after a clip with no context to it making a FoxNews host look nasty. This is not a heartwarming movie. This is a definite, deliberate political agenda in time to influence voters before the Fall midterms.Playing on emotions, using people with disabilities to advance a political agenda. It is insulting to Mr. Rogers memory.
View More"He was a minister...but he didn't wear a collar, he wore a sweater." I've heard it said that Fred Rogers must've been an angel, or even the second coming of Christ. This thinking is dangerous; it relieves us of our responsibility as humans. If he's a God, then we can just admire; if he's human, we must aspire. The movie is a cathartic blanket, and when Daniel the Tiger sings the duet with Lady Aberlin, the crying is constant from there on out. A soothing balm of sincerity and hope for scary and cynical times.
