Do you know for some bad movies from Tom Hanks? 🙂 Or he is picking movies very careful and only acts in the best ones with best screenplays, or he makes every movie great just with his great performance. In any case, the newest one, A Beautiful Day in the Neighborhood has a great story about people and mankind in general.

The screenplay is based on a true story about Fred Rogers, known as Mister Rogers, with small changes, but still very real. Fred is a TV personality running a popular TV show for children and journalist Tom Junod is assigned to make a profile of Mr. Rogers. This relationship between two grownup men will teach Tom (and us) about kindness, empathy and all the good things that life brings…
