I'd have to move to a different country to be his neighbour, so thanks for rubbing that in Mr. Rogers

I've only seen a little off him since he wasnt really in the UK but I find him a little fascinating. Few things are more curious than a genuinly good man from what I hear he was genuinly a force for good in the US.
Finally got to see the documentary with my grandmother, and I enjoyed it immensely, learned new things and felt a little nostalgic and sad, but in general, I got to know more about Fred Rogers and the people around him. The little animations of Daniel to represent Rogers' childhood reminiscence were a nice touch, even though they were kinda all over the place? Didn't mind it at all, though. There's a lot of sweet, harsh, and funny stories, the funniest was probably the one where one of his co-workers would occasionally sneak photographs of his butt on Rogers' camera just for the laughs. Don't want to give away the punchline, but it shows a cheeky side of Rogers.
Quick little insight into my theater experience, it was in one of the smaller theaters, but there were about like ten other people in there, and they were all mainly older folk probably my parents' age or so. There was one family (I believe it was a family) who brought in their disabled adult daughter, so I'm sure the documentary was extra special to her.
I'm still a little peeved more theaters don't have it, but I'm just glad it's out. I am a little bit surprised my mother hasn't gone out of her way to see it, though I guess her schedule just hasn't allowed it especially since our closest theaters still don't have it. As much as I like Mister Rogers, my mother loved him the most since she's the one who grew up with him from pretty much the start, though it probably went much deeper than that. So much so that when my brothers and I were really little, she wrote him a letter where she mentioned us by name among other things, and got a response back, and it's one of her most prized possessions. I've read it like once or twice, but it's just really cool and amazing just how much love this man had for people he never met. And it's sad that there's no one else like him today, except maybe in our personal lives if we're lucky.
So yeah, go see it when you can, there's something for everyone.

Guess I'm gonna double-post to put this here because it's the anniversary of Mister Rogers' television debut, and Google Doodles (shocking) made a cute tribute I just have to share.
