The film Rotten Tomatoes is as fresh as 95%, and it has been rated as one of the top ten films of the year by Time Magazine and praised as "the film needed by the times", which will be released nationwide on September 18th.

No prosthesis, no special effects. Tom Hanks turned into a legendary host by acting.

With silver hair and a gentle smile, Tom Hanks sang the theme song of "Mr. Rogers’s Neighbors" slowly and calmly in front of the camera, as if the TV presenter who accompanied generations of growth was still with us. Seeing this reduction, even Joanna Rogers, the widow of Mr. Fred Rogers, couldn’t help sighing: "He looks as cute as Fred."

However, director marielle heller revealed that when fixing makeup for Tom Hanks, she avoided complicated special makeup and facial prosthesis, only customized a wig for him, and added Mr. Rogers’ unique eyebrow shape to him. She said that these are enough, "the rest depends on his eyes to show."

The winner of the two-time Oscar for Best Actor restored the "Mr. Rogers" in everyone’s memory with his profound understanding of the role and superb acting skills, and added his own unique interpretation. He dedicated the classic "One Minute Gaze" in the film to the audience, broke the "fourth wall" and had a soul dialogue with you and me off the screen.

Do your homework, deeply interpret the incarnation of "chatter" and the legendary host of "silence"

In order to get to know Mr. Rogers better, Tom Hanks spent a lot of time watching Mr. Rogers’ program "Mr. Rogers’ Neighbors" repeatedly, and even read the script written by Mr. Rogers himself for the program. For Tom Hanks, the biggest challenge in playing Mr. Rogers is to "slow down". Tom Hanks himself is warm and cheerful, full of gas in his speech, while Mr. Rogers is quiet, deep and slow.

In order to restore Mr. Rogers’ unique temperament, Tom Hanks deliberately "slowed down" himself during the performance and restrained his instinctive gestures and tone when he spoke. The magic thing is that when you do this, you will naturally enter the state. Not only that, Tom Hanks also learned the skills of controlling the puppets because he had to operate the puppets such as Daniel Tiger and King Friday himself in the film.

The perfect match between the real film emperor and the legendary actor and the prototype.

For the audience, Mr. Rogers is the most trusted and lovely elder, while Tom Hanks is an excellent actor who is widely loved and approachable. Many people may not know that Tom Hanks was also Mr. Rogers’ favorite actor. And Mr. Rogers let Tom Hanks break his rule of "no longer playing the real person", and the charm of this legendary figure is self-evident.

One is the Hollywood Evergreen drama bone that left many classic images in the audience’s mind, and the other is the legendary program host who enriched the spiritual world of several generations. Tom Hanks plays Mr. Rogers, and the "film emperor" interprets the "legend". Uncle Tang is definitely the perfect person to play Mr. Rogers.
