What Tom Hanks thinks Mr. Rogers would tell small children in 2019
,” Hanks isn’t just good — he’s transporting. He takes on Mister Rogers’ legendary mannerisms and owns them, using them as a conduit to Rogers’ disarming inner spirit. He makes you believe in this too-nice-for-words man who is all about believing. “” is a soft-hearted fable that works on you in an enchanting way. When the film comes out , there won’t be a dry eye in the megaplexes of America.
Hanks nails Fred Rogers’ so-delicate-it’s-peculiar speaking style — the folksy singsong that could almost be a drawl, the way the words come out slowly enough to make him sound like a benevolent hypnotist. Mister Rogers, of course, has been parodied many times, but what Hanks gets, playing him with drop-dead sincerity, isn’t just the talking-to-a-child rhythm.
In the movie, which is set in the late ’90s, the Junod character is Lloyd Vogel, played by Matthew Rhys as an ace magazine writer who glares with self-serious gloom. Yet from everything we can see, he is more or less living the life. He’s a National Magazine Award winner , and he’s married to the smart and lovely Andrea , with an infant son. What’s not to cherish?
Back at Esquire, Lloyd is assigned to do a short profile of Fred Rogers for the magazine’s “Hero” issue. The subject couldn’t be further out of his wheelhouse, but he trudges off to the WQED studios in Pittsburgh, where “Mister Rogers’ Neighborhood” is taped on a soundstage for national syndication.
