Well, hello there, kind folks. If you’re visiting this blog of mine, I presume that you have a certain interest in the cinema. As for me, even since my early childhood, I have had a deep love of everything related to movies and television. As far as I can remember, I have been more at ease in front of a screen than in the yard, outside, playing. It is a great way to travel, though other people’s stories, without having to foot any kind of steep bill. Over the years, I feel that movie-watching has even fuelled my own creativity.

All that being said, I welcome you in my Cinephile’s Nest. I hope you enjoy it here, feel free to come back at any time. Here you will find reviews of current movies and older ones. TV shows also. Some classics that have remained some of my favourites, some that have disappointed me. I will use a very basic star (*) system to grade them from 1 to 5 (5 being sliced bread level). Remember, these are just my tastes. I will try to explain in each review what I liked about these particular movies, without giving spoilers.

Il y aura aussi des critiques en français pour les films francophones, car j'aime également le cinéma dans ma langue maternelle. Avant d'apprendre l'anglais, plus jeune, je louais des tonnes de films traduits en français, surtout ceux de Bud Spencer et Terrence Hill. Ma mère a eu le choc de sa vie lorsqu'un jour, dans la boîte d'un de ces films, Deep Throat avait malencontreusement inséré. Une expérience formatrice pour le jeune cinéphile que je suis.

Bienvenue à tous, amusez-vous bien.

I welcome you all here, enjoy yourself.

Won't You Be My Neighbor? (2018)

 

Genre: Documentary
Directed by: Morgan Neville
Starring: Joanne Rogers, John Rogers, Jim Rogers
Running time: 93 minutes

 


Through archive footage and interviews with family and friends of Fred Rogers, this documentary takes a deep look at the legacy of the children TV show Mister Rogers’ Neighborhood.

After watching the film about Fred Rogers, with Tom Hanks in the lead role, I was curious about this documentary. Growing up a francophone kid, I was never really exposed to the teachings of Fred Rogers. I just found out bits and pieces of it later in my life, never truly getting it. So, this film was truly informative for me. The impact of Mister Rogers’ Neighborhood on the youth of a certain era in America cannot be denied. I found this movie quite touching and absolutely fascinating. It even touched a chord with my inner child, I must say. Today’s world often lacks Fred Rogers’ innate positivity.
