“From the time you were very little, you’ve had people who have smiled you into smiling, people who have talked you into talking, sung you into singing, loved you into loving. Let’s just take some time to think of those extra special people, some may be right here, some may be far away, some may even be in heaven, no matter where they are, deep down you know, they’ve always wanted what was best for you, they’ve always cared about you beyond measure and have encouraged
史上最卖座的人物传记纪录片，主人公是一位与众不同的儿童电视节目制作人Fred Rogers。他自制自编自主持的节目《Mister Rogers' Neighborhood》从60年代一直播到新世纪（年数仅次于《芝麻街》），每集半小时共900多集，可谓长盛不衰老少咸宜。但这部纪录片更多的不是关于这个节目，而是关于Rogers其人。
影片围绕几个问题展开：Rogers究竟有什么魔力让孩子们喜欢他和他的节目？Rogers谦谦君子的形象究竟是人设还是人性？Rogers怎样看待自己？怎样看待Rogers传递的价值观？
Fred Rogers 真的好棒！这才是我们需要的儿童教育啊！
让孩子有自信，能接受错误，有爱自己和爱他人的能力。
It's you I like
It's not the things you wear
It's not the way you do your hair
But it's you I like
The way you are right now
The way deep down inside you
Not the things that hide you
Not your fancy chair
That's just beside you
But it's you I like
Every part of you
Your skin, your eyes, your feelings
Whether old or new
I hope that you'll remember
From the time you were very little, you've had people who have smiled you into smiling, people who have talked you into talking, sung you into singing.
Love you into loving.
No matter where they are, deep down you know they've always wanted what was the best for you.
They've always cared about you beyond measure and have encouraged you to be true to the best within you.
看《与我为邻》的过程其实观众会对纪录片呈现的罗杰斯先生形象有所担忧（真实形象与媒介形象是否会产生人物黑化的动态偏差？其背后的权力资本运作是怎样的？），而这部里罗杰斯的形象就太容易预测了（就算有结尾意外的钢琴音也无法挽回），因为汉克斯那张美国好人的脸就已经说明了问题（从饰演迪士尼以来越发固化），是当下美国的集体焦虑难以让主流好莱坞冒险来让观众承受神圣儿童偶像身上可能的黑暗与暧昧性吗，反而更想看库珀来演这个角色。基于结尾的谢幕，如果当成罗杰斯先生的一集儿童节目来看也没毛病
“与我为邻”2018年度佳片，[Film Review] Won’t You Be My Neighbor? (2018) 7.8/10
