Beautiful Day

A Beautiful Day in the Neighborhood- is more about the person interviewing Mr. Rodgers than Mr. Rodgers himself and to that i say "their was a documentary that came out in 2018, called "Won't You Be My Neighbor?", that focus on Mr. Rogers more". This film is still a good movie, i just wish it was more about Mr. Rogers than the person interviewing him. Tom Hanks does a excellent job playing Mr. Rodgers, he reminded me alot of Mr. Rogers, brings back memories.

The plot: Lloyd Vogel is an investigative journalist who receives an assignment to profile Fred Rogers, aka Mr. Rogers. He approaches the interview with skepticism, as he finds it hard to believe that anyone can have such a good nature. But Roger's empathy, kindness and decency soon chips away at Vogel's jaded outlook on life, forcing the reporter to reconcile with his own painful past.

Like i said before its a good movie.

I enjoyed this.

I seem to be attracted to dark/abusive books lately, having just read the Dark Duet trilogy, and loving them.

This had me captivated from the start wondering where Shaw really came into the story. He wasn't like the others and his lighter side was a relief compared to the darkness of the others. It was how he reacted to seeing Lee being abused that endeared him to me.

I really felt for Lee at times, having to cope with the abuse he was suffering while trying to hold himself together and stay sane. And how he clung to the bits of kindness he was shown by Shaw.

P.S. Being British, I'm not sure we get sand dollars on our beaches (if I'm wrong, correct me by all means) but I have the urge to collect them now. I looked them up on Google and they look really pretty.
