The pervasive sentiment of 2018 is that we all live in a never-ending hell. Your hell might be different than someone else’s, but each of us feels trapped in a ceaseless cycle of hurt, hate, and dishonesty.

So here is a genuine suggestion — a temporary antidote to our collective hellscape. This weekend, reallocate the time you’d spend crafting the perfect angry tweet or outraged online clapback. Instead, go see Won’t You Be My Neighbor, the deeply affecting new documentary on the legacy and philosophies of Fred Rogers.

Why Mister Rogers’ message of love and kindness is good for your health

sudshr47 June 8, 2018

The release of the Mister Rogers documentary, “Won’t You Be My Neighbor?” calls to mind the essential message of Rogers’ long-running children’s program, “Mister Rogers’ Neighborhood.” Fred McFeely Rogers, who died in 2003, was also an ordained Presbyterian minister. Over the course of three decades on public broadcasting, he brought to millions of children what his faith’s General Assembly referred to as “unconditional love.”

In preaching love, Rogers wasn’t just attending to the moral character of his youthful audience. He believed that he was also promoting their health. As he said in 1979, “My whole approach in broadcasting has always been, ‘You are an important person just the way you are. You can make healthy decisions.’ Maybe I’m going on too long, but I just feel that anything that allows a person to be more active in the control of his or her life, in a healthy way, is important.” Read more…

Tom Hanks will play Mr. Rogers in an upcoming biopic, yes please

sudshr47 January 29, 2018

Tom Hanks has been pegged to play the inimitable Mr. Rogers in a biopic titled You Are My Friend, Variety reported Monday.

You Are My Friend is inspired by a part of the life of children’s TV icon Fred Rogers and his relationship with journalist Tom Junod, who wrote a profile of Rogers for Esquire in 1998. Hanks will play Rogers and the movie will be directed by Diary of a Teenage Girl director Marielle Heller.

“As a mother, I am so inspired by the teachings of Fred Rogers and as a human I am in awe of his life’s work,” Heller told Variety. “I can’t wait to bring his story to the public and be a part of such a thoughtful, smart group of people who are all coming together to make this film, which truly feels to me like an antidote to our very fractured culture.” Read more…
