A Great Movie about a Lovely Man, but Where was the Famous Fishtank?
28 November 2019
Warning: Spoilers
This movie is based on an article a writer named Lloyd Vogel wrote about Fred Rogers. To be clear, Mr. Rogers was more than different colored cardigans, sneakers, and puppets. He taught children about important things like feelings, accepting themselves for who they are, divorce and death. Tom Hanks is flawless as Mr. Rogers. He has the voice and mannerisms down pat! In this movie, Mr. Rogers taught Lloyd to forgive his neglectful father before the man died. The always great Chris Cooper was the father. I do wish they had the fish tank and I looked for it. I also am curious if the miniature artist who worked on "Hereditary" provided his or her services to this movie for the miniatures? In a way, his movie has something in common with "The Legend of Lizzie Borden" with Elizabeth Mongomery as Lizzie. She and Lizzie were distant cousins and Tom Hanks and Fred Rogers were 6th cousins. I think Fred Rogers is watching Tom Hanks with approval from paradise because Tom's performance was that good!
