Tom Hanks On ‘A Beautiful Day In The Neighborhood’ | TODAY
Mr rogers IS for adults. It's a message that takes 20 years to understand,.
Very well said 👍
That’s a good point. As kids, we actually thought he was geeky and corny
One of the VERY BEST comments I've ever read on you tube 💯
@@janetownley When I was a kid, I thought he was just making it up - almost NONE of the adults in my life were in any way demonstrative of the virtues he espoused.
So true.. you get it more, and more as you age. If only we were all as pure, and loving as he was... RIP Mr. Rogers.
I saw this movie on Sunday. It was the best 1 1/2 hours I have invested in my mental health in years. It was healing and I walked away wanting to be a better person.
Carla a 💯facts
I also left the theatre after watching this movie wanting to become a better person. Who loves me for me, and just be more polite, optimistic and calm.
Hehe, it made exact opposite to me. Documentary about Mr. Rogers cured that! :D
Me too, exactly.
I felt exactly the same.
My act of helping my daughter as a very young child to write a letter to Mr. Rogers on her birthday turned into a yearly pen pal birthday letter exchange to not only my daughter but to me as well. As you might guess my knee jerk pessimistic reaction to those first letters was how nice to have Mr. Rogers’ administrative assistant send us one of their letters. If anyone reads one of his letters though, it quickly hits you that only he could have actually written these letters. His letters displayed the compassion and insight he displayed on his show. My daughter & I exchanged these yearly birthday letters with Mr. Rogers right up to his death. We will always remember our genuine dear friend.
Jim Mauch thats incredible!!!
Beautiful! Makes my heart smile.
Jim Mauch wow what a treasure you were so involved in. How fortunate.
I was born in 1972, so I loved his show. He was a constant for me. You gave your daughter, and yourself, an amazing gift. And I can only imagine those letters brought him comfort, that he was doing the right thing. I imagine the letters are private, but I admit to being curious about them. I can only imagine love and kindness in his letters.
Those would make a good book
One thing about Mr. Rogers that I never noticed until I was an adult was, he was talking to me and he introduced his neighbors to me. Not to all his friends watching the show but just me. He always spoke to the camera in the singular. Like I was the only kid watching, I was the only kid with him.
When I was in grad school, under a great deal of stress, sometimes I would come home and turn on Mr. Roger’s Neighborhood. Somehow, even thought he was on tV and no doubt prerecorded years before, he knew just what to say to make my day better and make me know that I would get through it. At times, it was uncanny. One time it was stormy and I was soaked to the bone from making a long trek to the campus parking lot. Mr. Rogers said, “It’s a beautiful day.” And i said, “Well, not today, Fred.” And he said, “Some days are good on the outside and somedays are good on the inside.” I said, “Good point....Are you actually listening to me, Fred?”
Mary Ann C I was still preschool age when Mr Rogers’ Neighborhood made its national debut, and watched regularly until I “outgrew” him for “more mature” fare such as Giligan’s Island reruns 😆
About 8 years later, I was at that awkward tween age and had just moved to a new home and school district. I had always been a bit of the odd duck, and was never a member of “the popular” crowd.
I too, would come home from a stressful day at school and found comfort in watching that afternoon’s broadcast (though I now see those were hiatus years) of MRN. He was so sincere when he spoke directly to the camera and said “I love you just the way you are” 🥰
Mary Ann C 🤣😂 wow
I’m writing my undergrad thesis right now and doing the same thing ❤️
I also discovered Mr Rogers when I was in grad school (I was an international student). During the hard times, I just watched the clips of his interviews or him talking and instantly cried. Whenever he said I like you just the way you are, I bursted into tears, good tears. Needless to say, he has something to do with me being able to overcome those tough times.
@@colinhyou Absolutely! There are clips on CZcams that get me teared up every time- testifying before congress, Emmy acceptance speech, even appearing on Johnny Carson. I’m glad I’m not the only one!
From that interview I got the impression that choosing a good man to play a good man was singularly appropriate
Also Susan it's just been discovered that him and Mr. Rogers share a great (x6) grandfather who was born in 1732, so it seems even more appropriate now.
Fun Times wow that’s cool
Deep.
Tommy Sweetweather 🤗 Thank you!
@Tommy Sweetweather until there is irrefutable proof about Tom Hanks being on Epsteins island I will continue to call it what it is...a conspiracy theory.
Great interview but Tom is wrong on only one thing. I think Mr. Rogers is for all of us. Especially Adults. We as adults even more than children, need to watch Mr. Rogers with our kids and take the lessons he is trying to pass onto them and apply them to us, because don't think for a minute that we all can't use what he is trying to convey in his lessons and apply it to our lives.
Im not a young millennial
But by your comment and implication it does seem like you could use a recap yourself in your old age.
@Too Wun You're talking about learning good morals but you took this nice comment about a wonderful man and had to turn it into some crap about the generational war
I don't know, doesn't really check out with me
Ashamed to say now, but I felt the same as Hanks did about the show. Even tho I’m a slow-paced southerner, watching Mr. Rogers was agonizingly slow torture for me... until one day I noticed my 3-yr-old niece, whose parents were in the mist of an ugly divorce, hanging onto every word he said. She was the most quite, yet the most standup child. If she saw someone mistreating someone, be it a cartoon, a doll or another person, she’d calmly intervene.
Many adults loved him and cried heavy tears at his death. My son and I loved his slowness, he hated he faster paced shows. Mr Rogers respected that he could understand something longer than 1 minute.
He made so many of us feel important, valid and cared about...
Very much so. Thank you. This was very inspiring. It felt like it had so easily reached a place where it's rarely able to make it through the fog and layers that are now hopefully transformed into hope. I wrote "JUST BE GOOD ' (+ ref) on paper and stuck it on view for morning reminder. Thank you for the Hope. Gn.
As a human being, Fred Rogers was so great that Hanks has never had a greater roll to play.
I sincerely believe that Fred Rogers, in contemporary times, was the best humankind had to offer.
.... and the angry bagel guy.
Jay Trace Really? Mr. McFeely? Have you watched a CREEPY episode lately?
Carl, Sagan, David Attenborough, Steve Irwin, Bob Ross. The best humans have to offer.
Only one person was better.
Ditto
Tom is that person who, despite all of his fame and talent, can still manage to talk to you like he's your next door neighbor. Gotta love this man. 🙂♥️
JadeMusic Remember he’s an actor. I bet he has an ego bigger then his bank account.
Ha, @@granny4897, just because someone is an A-list actor doesn't mean they're gonna have a big ego. I suppose they could be good at _acting_ like they don't, though. I met Tom and Colin in Salt Lake City during the Sundance of 2008, and they both seemed genuine to me.
@@granny4897 I *know* he's an actor. That doesn't mean he can't be genuinely *nice* .
my cousin met Tom. He’s a very sweet & caring person.
Wonderful person 👏👏❤️
I love how Tom Hanks made this interview really about Mr. Rogers and not about him playing Mr. Rogers.
Robin Mantari good point 💯
Hanx has something behind the 👀
@@saltress1126 ?
When Mister Rogers was on PBS, I was a self-involved high school teen. One afternoon, I turned in KHET and found Fred Rogers contending with a
dead Guppy on the bottom of an aquarium. Rather than scoop it up roughly and toss it into the toilet and flush it away, he gently retrieved the
fish and checked to see if it really was dead by putting it into a light salt water bath. Satisfied that it was "swiming in heaven," he took the
defunct fish outside and gave it the kind of a burial reserved for a cherished pet, like a dog or cat. That is what made Mr. Rogers a "top of
the world" TV host and a friend to children...of any age.
He still _is_ on PBS.
i watched that episode and remember
I keep fish; well tended, and well loved, those little guys can live, for years.... My betta (Red Chief) swims directly, to me, loves music, plays with my hand, and we interact----on a daily basis... Mr. Roger's sensitivity to Life's smallest details, and knowing their impact, on a child's sensibilities, is (not simply rare), but a practically unknown gift..... The World is too busy, and much too noisy..... May God hold this darling man, in the hollow of His hand.......🌹
I always liked watching how stuff was made and how Mr McFeeley always ran off.
I think I remember this episode. I think this is how he taught us about Death. Such a gentlemen💙
This man is a philosophical national treasure ...playing a philosophical national treasure. I couldn't be happier.
He said Trump would never become president.
@@BonafideToolJunkie Yep, he's a fraud!
@@BonafideToolJunkie he was wrong, so what? Nobody's perfect.
Why can't my day just consist of beautiful conversations like these?
You are a beautiful person!
Probably because you surround yourself with ugly people.
BRITTANY---YES! PLEASE!!
I think Tom Hanks expresses it well-we CAN have conversations like this. We need to lead into it, with sincerity, genuine interest in understanding the other person, noticing the good in them.
What a wonderful question to get the day going with and you created it and shared it with us so that we can ask that same question. I think that’s a terrific thing. It’s one of the best things that we can do. You have every right to bring those good conversations into your daily life and I personally hope that they continue to make their way to you. Why? Because you deserve it. ☀️
He never used the word "God" because he's a minister at practice, not preaching!!
Love that
I never realized that. I was raised in a home with no religion, and it might have been a little off-putting if he had talked about God. But as it was I could be completely comfortable with him.
Exactly. He's a humble man. His life speaks for itself.
I'm pretty sure that he sometimes said both the word "god" and the _name_ "God," but not in vain.
I’m glad he wasn’t preachy, rather he explained why it’s important to be kind and empathetic which religion doesn’t have ownership of.
Mr rogers is truly a legend. A hero to many, a friend to all. May his legacy live on forever.
Mr Rogers was more Christ like than any famous Televangelist on TV . Mr Rogers was a genuine and beautiful human being who was so selfless , compassionate and an Example of Jesus Christ . He actually visited the sick in hospitals and didn’t showboat
IllO Str8 As someone who is not deeply religious, but familiar with the Bible, you are absolutely correct! Rogers was a great example of what it means to be Christ-like.
Mr. Roger was the real Christian the follower of Christ. And he live and show Christ in his life for the world...
Thank you. Very well said. Mr. Rogers Neighborhood didn't have to be overtly religious because as both you, Mrs. Guthrie, and Mr. Hanks agree...Fred Rogers was living out His faith in Christ every day. It's not about saying it. It's about living it.
Russell M Nelson is as genuine as Fred Roger's was and will _live_ to be One-Hundred this September! Oh and he is also a disciple of Jesus Christ!
As a young Marine I'd pick up my son from daycare after work and we'd go home, sit on the couch and watch Mr. Rogers. Often there was another Marine buddy that would follow me home rather than go to the barracks. There we were. Two Marines with a less than two year old boy between us, watching Mr. Rogers.
I love this comment
"It's good to talk, it's good to say the things we feel..." We all could use this line in our everyday life.
This is a wonderful two way street interview. The way Tom asks Savannah questions is great to watch as well. May Tom be a part of our lives for another quarter century or more.
What a lovely interview. I mean, of course Tom Hanks is awesome as always, but Savannah did such a great job leading the conversation. Well done!
She is a Mr Rogers fan; you don't want a troll interviewing Mr Rogers.
Mr. Rogers has NO DARK SIDE! He saved a generation from the disparity of convoluted adults. This was before the pandemic and challenges now present. Leave your hang ups at the door. Mr. Rogers is an American Saint- something we Americans are not known for producing.
Everyone has a dark side. But Mr. Rogers was very intentional and very real in dealing with his dark side.
This man cannot make a bad movie. What a great person and actor.
Joe Versus the Volcano.
I agree 100%. He is my favorite!
Rebecca Bamford 🤗 Yeah he saves all the bad to use on children. Lost shoe anyone?
You've got mail is the only bad movie I think he was in. But only one in ? That's amazing.
@@MaddyWalker98 Cynicism is alive and well.
Mister Rogers was a great individual when I was a child; I remember that I couldn't wait each day for his program to come on TV!
Authentic. The best compliment I can think to give to another man.
I think Mr Rogers is for everyone, EVEN (especially) adults. I mean after all, isn't there a child inside all of us? I love how when I watch Mr Roger's shows I get to feel the joy of being childlike and remember the importance of being a light in a world of darkness.
Fun Fact: Tom Hanks and Fred Rogers are 6th cousins and Abraham Lincoln is one of his ancestors.
Tom and Fred everyone knows but who is a Abraham?
In the heyday of Sesame Street, my adhd son would instead sit immobile before Mr. Rogers and his neighborhood. I'm sure it was because of "I like you just the way you are. "
Tamra Houser did you heavily medicate him like so many boomer parents did?
My bots, too. No meds.
I grew up in Pittsburgh and watched Mr Rogers every day. I then hung around for Sesame Street afterwards, but considered it a secondary show to Mr Rogers. As a kid, I thought the switching of the shoes was the coolest thing ever. Too bad I didn’t know I could’ve convinced my parents to drive me 20 minutes down to the studio to see him in person. I had no concept of locations.
Mom?
Same with my ADD son.
This interview is splendid. I wish people could actually sit down and talk like this more. All we do is argue back and forth these days it seems. Actually talking, and hearing what the other has to say is nice.
"It's good to talk" ♫ ♪
I try this every day. As I get older all I want is CALM AND PEACE.
People nowadays are always in a hurry. Looking at their phones instead of actually speaking to another human being. We all need to talk but to listen more. God gave us 2 ears and only 1 mouth.
I live in Latrobe, Pa (Mr. Roger's hometown), and its very surreal to realize the magnitude of the popularity of this local pop culture icon. I never met him, but he was an amazing man!
8:53: “I think that’s Divine.” 🙂
Fred Rogers was more than a nice guy. He was a powerful man.
About 31 years ago Tom was in a movie called The Burbs. If memory serves, there's a scene early on where Tom's character is in some sort of early morning haze sipping orange juice and quietly singing the Mr. Rogers theme to himself. Serendipity.
I saw that.
The Burbs...best comedy, ever.
Nice. Very funny movie. 80s classic.
William McGalloway I own this movie lol
I seemed to recall that scene from The Burbs as well, came out way back when I was 8 or so but still is a great movie all these year later. Pretty hilarious movie actually. Especially the first half of the movie: the dog going on his lawn, the nutty neighbors, especially the one always over at Tom Hank's character's house always helping himself to the fridge...
I have avoided watching this movie since I heard it was going to happen because I felt Fred Rogers was not to be touched by Hollywood. I've relaxed on that and after seeing this interview I'm ready to watch it. Before not even Tom Hanks was worthy but he did the work and the research and I'm sure I'm going to love it. I sure did love growing up loving Mr. Rogers! As an adult I cried and watched his last episode and cried again the day he died. What a beautiful man!
I hope you enjoyed it 😊
I'm seriously in love with this man, he's not only is talented and has two Oscars back to back but he's a sweet, kind man. May God bless him forever!
Yes
Tom Hanks?? Yes, ditto to all you said. :-)
Fred Rogers was brought up with faith as the cornerstone of his life.
He was a living testament of that faith. Such a beautiful man who touched so many hearts. 💖
What a gifted actor and character!
There is something very delightful and kind about the woman giving this interview.
How could anyone not like Tom Hanks?
Jealousy of Tom’s success.
Because he is extremely corrupt vile and not what he "acts" to be . . . His twitter account is spooky to say the least . . .
@@boozzledebop5753, well, BOOZZLE... Your assertion about Tom's Twitter account startled me so much, that I went to check it out. YOU'RE A TROLL !!!!!! His Twitter account is as sweet as he is, nothing creepy going on there. Go troll somewhere else.
@@JoannaScalf, so happy for you
What a fascinating human being. Both Tom and Fred Rogers.
one is an actor.....one a humanitarian......
Beautifully said.
@@vikkinicholson2300 both are / were actors actually and tom has done alot of private philanthropic work as well (alot more then you know) and ppl say tom is a generally decent person honestly? Tom hanks and mr Rogers are more of the same if you think about it
If Russell Crowe was up there yea.....lol maybe I would agree but tom Hanks does give back and is a generally thankful nice and decent person. Hes not perfect neither was mr Roger's but they are/were decent people which is rare enough you cannot deny that
Well I believe your a very beautiful fascinating person remember that we're all special and deserve the same amount of respect. Lol
Tom Hanks should win a third Academy Award for the movie A Beautiful Day In The Neighbor as Fred Rogers.
It's for children looking for someone to invest in them. Yes, that sums Mr. Rogers up. He was determined to show children that they mattered and that at least one adult wanted to invest in them.
TacticusPrime 💯💯💯💯
One of the best interviews I've ever seen
there is only 1 actor able to pull of this role and it's Tom Hanks
plz check my youtube page on my movie review n tom also did a good job playing walt disney
He plays the real people who has actual events VERY WELL & ACCURATE AS POSSIBLE.... From Apollo 13 to Sully (just to name a few) No Hanky Panky (IF YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN)
As a human being, Fred Rogers was so great that Tom Hanks has never had a greater roll to play
I can't remember which interview it was about Mr Rogers but I think it was an interview with Mrs Rogers. I think she said that her husband Mr Rogers watched Forrest Gump. He loved it so much he watched it many times.
The irony.😀
Hello from Pittsburgh! Mr. Rogers is basically a saint of this city and I saw Tom Hanks when he was filming this movie in town. Absolutely perfect casting is all I can say.
Tom Hanks Has to be one of the nicest people ever
Of all the things you can say....smh
Hanks is an ungrateful anti-American liberal hack. Big mouth A-HOLE
As someone who works in the early childhood education field, I think of Mr. Rogers as my personal hero. I always try to think of what he would say to someone in a certain situation before I say anything. I am also a practicing Catholic, and I personally cannot WAIT to meet him in Heaven.
A good man doesn't have to be perfect. A good man is just being a good human being.
Except that it's not being human that makes us imperfect; it's being temporarily _mortal_ that does that.
Oskar Schindler was like that. A gambler, drinker, and womanizer..but he saved people from death. Once you do something like that, the negative things just seem to become irrelevant to your character.
I was a first gen Mr. Rogers kid, and the thing I carry with me today is that he had a calming effect on me, and I always felt like he would always tell you the truth.
Mister Rogers’ lessons mean more to me as an adult than they ever did as a kid. He was my hero though! That half hour each day was a place of safety.
I remember watching Mr. Rogers when my daughter was sitting in her little chair to listen to what Mr. Rogers and his Neighborhood was on and I can see she really paid attention and I actually cried through some of the talks he had with the audience which he made one think about certain subjects. It was wonderful to say, "It's you I like" I loved that song very much because it makes sense to listen to the words.
Tom Hanks is probably my favorite actor of all time. He totally nailed the role of Mister Rogers in this movie
I can't tell if Tom Hanks is tired or holding back tears.. He seems very emotional in this interview.. Not that I blame him.. Fred Rogers was a true guardian angel...
I think he's holding back tears I noticed it too
That prayer thing - that's what my grandparents did every night. They prayed for their large family - each by name, all their friends and neighbors and anyone else who came into their circle.
During this time in our country, I’m looking for the helpers
We NEED to find the helpers!
Carla a, you are a helper.
Linda B., you are a helper too.
There are many helpers here.
Now the neighborhood is all over the world.
That's the best part, just be.
Well said.
Why not be helpers instead of just looking for them?
Fred Rogers is sixth cousin to Tom Hanks and Abraham Lincoln is one of his ancestors.
He's Kind and One of a Kind.
Marmik Saini Beautifully said, Marmik.
Who is Abraham
A beautiful man talking to a beautiful woman about another beautiful man. How can I not like it?
SteelHex get your vision checked.
He did such a magnificent job of portraying Mr Rogers. It is so clear Mr Tom Hanks literally gets the deepest complexity or rather the simple kindness of Mr Rogers. What a wonderful casting choice.
He really dodged her "are we friends" question hahaha
Casey Michel ~ I thought I was the only one who noticed.
I thought so too, she mentioned it twice and he didn’t want to be rude but he’s got to keep his boundaries. I was really rooting for him to say yes to being friends.
Forrest Gump, Cast Away, Philadelphia, A League Of Their Own...all classics.
Don’t forget “Money Pit”
Turner and Hooch.
Willlllllsooooooon⚽️ ⚽️
😂My favorite w/ Tom Hanks!
There's a comedy movie he stars in and he looks like The Kernal, Hilarious!
Is it wrong to say I have tears in my eyes right now? I love Tom Hanks (he isn’t my favorite actor by accident) and Savannah is just so, okay I’ll admit it, beautiful!
nope
Got my (very damp) kleenex! Love Tom Hanks, and have always loved Fred Rogers!
Love it... Met Mr. Rogers years Ago. Kindness like no others.
Tom, you did a top notch job and I am sure Mr Roger is smiling. I cried and loved the move so much, it was deep and it was right on the money.
I take selfies on every unguarded phone I see too! Good to know you can still be a child no matter your age
Me and Tom Hanks share the same birthday. Ofcourse he would play Mr. Rogers ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
This is one of the better interviews I've seen and I think Tom Hanks has it ... He's got Mr. Rogers down ... Isn't it great how we can all see things from different perspectives
Most of the 7 billion people on earth need to watch Mr. Rogers. It would make the world a better place.
I agree
I can’t watch this in theaters I watch reruns and cry 😭 I have to watch this mid PMS with a box of chocolates by myself 💁🏼♀️ I know I’m gonna cry!!! Huge shout out to him and his parents for raising such a wonderful human wherever they may be ❤️
Mr Rogers was an after school continuation of my education. I THANK HIS SOUL FOR THE PERSON HE CREATED IN ME..I ALWAYS ENJOYED GOIN TO HIS NEIGHBORHOOD.
Two quotes:
Fred Rogers
"There are three ways to ultimate success:
The first way is to be kind.
The second way is to be kind.
The third way is to be kind."
George Washington
“Every Action done in Company, ought to be with Some Sign of Respect, to those that are Present.”
Two great leaders both emphasizing kindness and respect. In today's world where we are leaderless or you might say we have someone in a leadership position who is lacking in every way possible. Someone who doesn't even remotely understand kindness and respect. In this world it is good to remember the greatness and importance of Fred Rogers and George Washington. People whose example shown like a beacon in the night. Guiding us home.
It's awesome and interesting to see someone of Tom's caliber meet his match and be humbled by the enormity of trying to fill the shoes of someone of Fred's character.
Key word "shoes".
See Hanx Twitter feed. Creeeepy.
What does that even mean?!
@@Enigma_V8 he too, Hanx, went to Epstein's island.
Whatever, troll.
@@Enigma_V8 you do know people can be friends with people without being involved in the others actions?
“Most people call me Samantha.” Lol. My daughter’s name is Susannah and people are always calling her Savannah.
I just watched this movie yesterday, so heartfelt. Had tears in my eyes so much of the movie, and honestly couldn't tell you why. Even just watching this interview makes me a little teary.
Lovely interview. Mr.Roger’s really did have such an impact in this world ❤️
I've never been more proud to be from Pittsburgh, Pa, what a beautiful story and an amazing man
Mister Rogers represented a simple message. You are allowed to be human. Try to be kind. Simple as that.
I think he was really saying that you're allowed to act _mortal_ while you're still _mortal,_ since it sounds like you're saying that he's talking about trying to be kind while we still have imperfections at the moment, which is different from just being human.
@@HelloKittyFanMan. I'm using the term "human" as it is often used to indicate that we as human beings are inherently imperfect. I said what I wanted to say in that regard, and in the way that I wanted to say it. You're using the term "mortal." Mortal as opposed to what alternative? Immortal? Not sure I understand your intended meaning here. However, from a purely linguistic position, I would argue that the commonly used English phrase is "I'm only human." Not "I'm only mortal." Take care.
I think if I am ever near Tom Hanks I will leave my cell phone next to him......
Some phone automatically take pictures...2 of my friends phones take pictures...smart phone know how to do that.
One of the greatest actors to ever grace a any screen and always a respectable man!
Loved the movie so much this evening. So touching and true to the kindness of Mr. Rogers.
Touching being the operative word.
I watched mr.Rogers as a child,and I don’t remember much,but as a parent I saw him a different way,it’s a tool for all parents and kids,it shows parents that it’s good to talk to kids on their level,we all can be a little blue,or angry or happy,and it’s ok to talk abt things,he also teaches everyone that each person is beautiful,I find it hard to believe that some one could be so nice,toms performance was incredible,I rank this movie next to Gump,excellent work,and the movie for those that viewed it ,I’m sure has opened their eyes,to be kind,
The Greatest Actor of Our Time.
1 of the greatest in our time
Tom's interview was great but he is from the older generation. Those of us that grew up with Fred and are now 25, 30, maybe even as old as 40, we get it. Its not meant for adults (now) but we grew with up with him, and we can apply those messages to our kids and community. Mr. Rogers lives on through the new show "Daniel's tiger neighborhood" and I now watch that with my 3 kids. This man made the world a better place and with his help we all can too.
Yes, here, here we can change it all with our kindness and love
Mr. Rogers also never tried to use his show to sell children things. He said that it betrayed their trust. What a wise, wise man. Remember too when he first became popular men were not in caregiver roles. What a beautiful example. I grew up with Mr. Rogers and I cannot explain what he still means to me. He evoked such a warm feeling inside me of love. When I view his videos he still does. I hope he knew what a difference he made.
Wow, two of my favorite people talking about my Hero,what a great way to start a day.
Tome Hanks is wonderful. I think he's the Jimmy Stewart of our day. Big compliment from me. Also he reminds me of one of my brothers.
Frederick Rogers was a cool man with a willingness and inspirational mind for humanity everyday every men and women and children every male and female for all ages younger older even infants born without himself here now Tom hanks did a phenomenal work performance as the late Frederick Rogers and we’ll all miss himself forevermore forever unconditionally with love and respect to this man life thanks Tom Hanks and the legendary late Frederick Rogers thanks and happy holidays to you all always peaceful peace and blessings to you all peace out.
Mr. Rogers means a lot to me and Tom Hanks did an amazing job. I can't imagine anybody who could do it better.
Always nice to get more longer form talks, than 3 -7 minutes on talk shows
That was just lovely. I love Tom so much. I hope my phone will find it's way into his someday so he could take a selfie lol.
He collects typewriters. I want...plan to...donate my dad's typewriter to his collection... Once I figure out how...
He's on Instagram and he does take selfies sometimes....and it will be from his phone to yours. Hey close enough huh?
Well it’s true I’m a cheat, I’m a cheat and a fraud.. -Tom Hanks
😂
Saw the film yesterday as we Brits are in mourning for our Queen. Never knew anything about Mr. Rogers. Thank you for the uplift, my cousins across the pond.
I have prayed by saying "Thank You, God" for more years than I can remember. He knows what I'm thanking Him for. I thought that it's really nice that someone else also sees it as I do. God bless. Sharon
Loved Me Rogers, and my kids did too!
Can’t wait to see this tomorrow night
saw it today, its very good.
The cracks in lives show what we are made of. Just as long as you help other ones, and there thats why there's glue to bond.😁
Tom is the best , I wish I was loved as much as Tom is loved by everyone.
I just saw the movie tonight and I just ADORED it. I'll need some more Kleenex when I see it again!! ❤❤
I’ve been a chicken to go, so far. I want to support the film, but know I’m going to be a mess. I bawled watching the documentary last year, and cried during the trailer. I’ll get there eventually. ☺️
beavis palooka Oh man, where’s the emoji of chewing your fingernails when you need it? Did you cry, and if so, was it the whole way through or in bits? I have a feeling once I start, I won’t stop.
Same here. I saw it back in 2019, and I remember walking out of the theater and crying. The movie brought back so many memories of when I would watch Mister Rogers Neighborhood every morning before school. I told many people that this was probably the best movie I have ever seen.
Fred Rogerson is what you become when you come to terms with yourself.
Tom Rogers?
Forty years ago, during my freshman year in college, there was always a large crowd around the TV in the dorm lounge when Mr Rodgers was on. The crowd was comprised of people from different ethnic groups, and other countries. Although it was looked at as a type of "trendy" thing to do, people were (for the most part) actually listening to what he was saying.
I can’t wait to watch!
This inspires me to be kind again (adulting has had a way of making me forget). The interesting fact is, it takes the same amount of energy to be kind and open versus closed off and angry. But when you chose to be kind, it’s so much more rewarding. And ultimately what God wants. Tom Hanks has always been my fave, and I don’t think anyone would have done a better job with representing Mr. Rogers 👏🥰
I really enjoyed this interview! Thanks Savannah and Tom!
