Won’t You Be My Neighbor? 2018 123movies

Watch: Won’t You Be My Neighbor? 2018 123movies, Full Movie Online – Charmingly soft-spoken and yet powerfully incisive expressing his profound ideals, Fred Rogers was a unique presence on television for generations. Through interviews of his family and colleagues, the life of this would-be pastor is explored as a man who found a more important calling to provide an oasis for children in a video sea of violent bombardment. That proved to be his landmark series, Mister Rogers’ Neighborhood (1968), a show that could gently delve into important subjects no other children’s show would have dared for that time. In doing so, Rogers experienced a career where his sweet-tempered idealism charmed and influenced the world whether it be scores of children on TV or recalcitrant authorities in government. However, that beloved personality also hid Rogers’ deep self-doubts about himself and occasional misjudgments even as he proved a rock of understanding in times of tragedy for a world that did not always comprehend a man of such noble character..
Plot: For more than thirty years, and through his television program, Fred Rogers (1928-2003), host, producer, writer and pianist, accompanied by his puppets and his many friends, spoke directly to young children about some of life’s most important issues.

This is a must see
Full disclosure: I am a cynical, negative atheist. This was one of the best films I have ever seen. I was profoundly moved by the vision of such a kind, gentle, subtle and genuine human. Fred Rogers was a Christian Republican. Today’s “Christian” “Republicans” should be forced to watch and discuss this film. Doing so would change the world.

Made me more deeply appreciate anew Mr. Rogers ministry – wish I could have heard more about Johnny Costa.
I was misty-eyed most of the way through this and realized what my dad said after Rogers died that Mr. Rogers took his work very seriously from the very beginning.

I’m sad to say I’ve allowed Pixar, Dreamworks, and YouTube Kids to become white noise in my house as a means of pacifying rambunctious children rather than putting forth my best self in genuinely communicating with them and here is Mr. Rogers telling gently but sternly that that is not okay, especially since such programming for all of its CGI dazzle falls woefully short of Mr. Rogers’ gold standard for children’s programming.

As the documentary points out, Mr. Rogers kept a slow pace making the most of pauses and silence in stark contrast to the ever-accelerating pace of children’s programming that treats children as future consumers rather than as a son or daughter of God who deserves to be treated with love, respect and dignity as Mr. Rogers, an ordained minister, did.

This documentary helped me appreciate anew the calm reassuring voice Fred Rogers was to millions of children who’ve grown up in an increasingly tumultuous world as he unflinchingly addressed such topics as “assassination” in the aftermath of RFK’s assassination, “death”, “divorce”, etc. and helped children to come to terms with their own feelings of sadness, fear, etc. about such grownup issues that American society has grappled with – and shows us what a real “safe space” for children should look like – not a place to curl up and suck our thumbs and pretend the big, bad outside world doesn’t exist but rather a place where children are gently and lovingly taught to deal with those things that world throws at them.

The segment about Francois Clemmons was especially moving; The footbath Rogers shared with Mr. Clemmons was as powerful a statement for its time about racial equality as that which Star Trek’s creator Gene Roddenberry made by putting Michelle Nichols as Uhura on the bridge of the U.S.S. Enterprise. I was especially touched when Clemmons tearfully relayed recalling the moment he realized that Mr. Rogers statement “I love you just the way you are” was directed at him, a gay man, and bespoke a love and acceptance that Clemmons never got from his father – inspiring Clemmons to view Mr. Rogers as a surrogate father the likes of which he didn’t have growing up.

I was very glad to see Mr. Rogers’ musical intelligence – his ability to write, sing and most importantly genuinely communicate through music – discussed in the film, and my only wish would have been to see Johnny Costa’s indelible musical contribution to “Mr. Rogers’ neighborhood” given fair treatment. The beloved Peanuts holiday specials would be what they are without Vince Guaraldi and “Mr. Rogers’ neighborhood”‘s legacy wouldn’t be what it is today without Johnny Costa’s brilliant jazz piano accompaniments. Such brilliance and simplicity in musical language with those well-beloved jazz chord progressions goes hand-in-hand with the Christian overtones of the messages conveyed in both Mr. Rogers’ songs and “Christmas time is here” from the Peanuts Christmas special and endears the audience of children young and old all the more to such programming. Conversely, we should be warned that “the man that hath no music in himself…is fit for treasons, stratagems and spoils…Let no such man be trusted” – a line from another beautiful piece of music, Ralph Vaughan Williams’ “Serenade to Music” (with its text adapted from Shakespeare’s “music of the spheres” portion of Act V Scene 1 from his “Merchant of Venice”) Vaughan Williams’ masterpeice with its message about the importance of music in the eternities moved another beloved musical giant, Sergei Rachmaninoff – who wrote his “Vespers” in two weeks despite no professed musical affiliation – to tears.

Continuing on a divine note, thanks to this documentary, I’ve come to appreciate the extraordinary and unique ministry of Fred Rogers that in its own way stands alongside those of C.S. Lewis, Bishop Fulton Sheen, and Jeffrey R. Holland. The genuine sincerity, authority, intelligence and eloquence with which such men speak to their intended auidences transcends religious affiliation, titles, and physical trappings – wherever such ministering angels like these men go, endearing music that evokes fond memories isn’t far behind.
