Won't You Be My Neighbor? (2018) - Mister Rogers Saves PBS Scene (2/10) | Movieclips

It’s a shame today’s children might not get to know mr Rogers he is a fantastic human that really helped the world and we only get a few of those may he rest in peace

My little one just went to sleep to the Mr Rogers doctor episode. Mr Rogers in one of his favorite shows.

[@rybelknap]

I think it should be mandatory to play his shows in schools

[@brittxmorin]

They did a kind of spin off. Called daniels tigers neighborhood. It's animated and takes place in the make believe place with the trolley and all. It's not the same thing but my son watches it and I get slight Mr. rodgers neighborhood feels every once and a while

[@Kari2025]

I can’t believe this is real because this is exactly what directors do in their movies to pull off the big finale in their film. It seems like it would never happen in real life, and I’m so glad it was Mr Rogers, because I don’t think anybody else could have ever convinced that senate group.

[@deedeekreep9139]

For real.... That was like watching a movie ...

[@10191927]

Well Mr. Rogers did have a “performance” he mastered doing the show, mastered in his own way, granted he was very genuine and honest, but he definitely used it to benefit television and public broadcasting.

[@SeanOBrien77]

You're absolutely right, if it were in a work of fiction we would scoff and say that it was unrealistic. Pure magic.

[@CgBrian]

It’s heavily edited- for the movie- the speech is nearly 7 minutes long

Mr. Roger's believed that all souls were beautiful. Maybe some were rough, or rugged, or hurt, but they are all beautiful to him. Everyone has such capacity for love and care. Everyone can be the best them, if only they try. Even a small bit of effort means the world. Mr. Roger's wanted people to love themselves and love others. We all can.

[@paulpardee]

This really downplays (probably not intentional) how profound an impact Fred Rogers made on Senator Pastore. Try to find the whole hearing. Pastore went from being disinterested and grumpy to utterly transfixed.

[@wolfen26]

The video 'Mr rogers and the power of persuasion' is a good one.

[@cyrussheets4450]

Pastore was outright aggressive at the beginning. He was annoyed he thought his time was being wasted for days. Once Mr Rogers got to the table Pastore was pissed at him...him...because Rogers words and deeds had been everyone's testimony to that point. Pastore WANTED Rogers to choke, and by the end Pastore was the one choked up. The whole testimony is remarkable..

[@cavemanzach9475]

Albeit delivered in Rogers' signature calm and approachable demeanor, the speech he gave was very powerful and put Pastore in a difficult position; Concede to the public face of youthful innocence that he does not see value in the future of our children, or admit that he was wrong and solidify himself as one who is willing to fight for the budget, but not at the cost of his people. I've always said that it takes an unbelievable level of expertise to explain something to a child, and Fred Rogers' ability to convey ideas was absolutely unparalleled. His speech was respectful, which is why Pastore gave him the time of day, but it was also very stern and straightforward; I provide a service in helping to ensure that children are prepared for the real world, that they can deal with their emotions, and that they grow up believing that they have something to offer. That makes productive, contributing citizens. Absolutely brilliant.

[@powhitehorn]

His ideas raised a generation! When I was a little boy he taught me so much. Thank goodness they kept it going. It did a great service to this nation.

[@jayes460]

can hear it in his voice. Thank you Mr Rogers

[@sneifert1968]

An American hero. A legend in the truest form. Being born in 1968, I was a kind of a first generation Mr. Rogers viewer. I remember it fondly, not particularly well, but I have no doubt it shaped my childhood and in turn my life in general. A child of divorce at 8, I lost my older brother at 14. I’m sure watching that show in some way helped me deal with these events. Thank you Fred, from all of us.

[@touxiong519]

Speaking clearly and slowly while directing feels and thoughts to the person. At the same time using a colorful storyline to bypass the barrier set by person and send self instructions to their subconscious mind. It is almost hypnotic.

[@frankieclayton9303]

He taught us kids growing up so many valuable lessons for life

[@Erin-bd6jg]

I kinda wish they showed the whole thing. At the end when the senator caves is the only time I've ever seen Fred Rogers visibly show his nerves. It was as if he put everything he had on the line and could finally breathe. It just shows how deeply he cared about his mission to help children with every ounce of his being. He was truly a one-in-a-billion soul. Rest in peace, and thank you for everything, Mr. Rogers.

Mr Roger's spoke and sang to the Senators inner child

[@Jacketx]

I just watched it today and i feel like it changed the way i look at things in life now.

[@TheeKittyPie]

This reminds me so much of that scene in Ratatouille when Ego is taken back to his younger self. I feel like when Fred really broke down the reason and impact that he wanted the program to have, the senator remembered his childhood and realized he would've enjoyed a program like the one Fred made.

[@AliSakurai]

When he was 9 years old his father died I think Mr. Pastore was thinking about the time when he just wanted someone to hold him and tell him it was gonna be OK.

[@KatrinaGamse]

One thing that I’ve come to appreciate about Mr. Rogers since I’ve become an adult is that he is a very charismatic man. He has never had to yell, be over the top, or boisterous in order to command a room. When he spoke, people listened. This Senate clip, I believe, shows this skill of his. The Senator started out as rude and not take him seriously. As he began to speak, everyone was silent and the same Senator who at first seemed to make fun of him, not only gained respect for Mr. Rogers but gave into his request and then some.

[@peppers1587]

My personal vote for most inspirational man.

[@KazooieX1]

honestly crying. such a huge part of my childhood

[@tobaliciousholland12]

You see that man's heart melt... he sees the love and kindness of Fred, realizes the good that it will do, and decides right there to change course, reverse his position. Back when even steely, tight-fisted Republicans still had integrity and compassion. This is a beautiful moment.

[@Dan4CW]

FYI, Senator Pastore was a Democrat

[@trollskullkid69]

He was a Democrat. Conservatives used to be in the Democratic party and liberals used to be in the Republican party. For some reason, that swapped

That part where Mr. Rogers says "I'm so mad I could bite, but I can STOP! Anytime." Really hit home with me. I live near the Independence Day Shooting in Highland Park, IL. I just wish Mr. Rogers could have spoken to the troubled young man who did the shooting. I'm certain he could've prevented the tragedy. I loved Mr. Rogers when I was 5 years old and now, 48 years later, at the age of 53, I still love Mr. Rogers! 🤗

It's interesting that the movie maker would choose to edit out the last line of his song. During the testimony he continues after the edit by saying, "for a girl can some day be a lady, and a boy can some day be a man."

[@uofc57]

Why did they edit that out? It's a perfectly normal thing to say in 1969

[@alika207]

Probably to be sensitive to today's trans-gender community or those who have gone through gender changes.

[@TheseBitchesWantNikes]

Brutus Tan this

[@kris242]

Lolol I actually noticed this too. I guess it just slightly discredits the meaning of this speech that the director wanted to focus on. In these days, comments like those get unfortunately highlighted by many and the rest of the message gets overlooked.

[@submissivelover]

@@kris242 I'm not sure why. It doesn't strictly assign gender to anyone, A transwoman feels like a girl when she is young, most often knowing their identified gender as small children. What's at odds with saying that girl will grow to be a lady when that Born male always felt like a girl and DID want to grow into a lady? There's nothing really phobic about it, maybe to non-binary.

[@sabonesjones]

I mean how could you say no to him? An amazing man who wants to help kids and teach them about life in a calm nurturing way? That yes @ 2:54 he was so intrigued and couldn't wait to hear more. That's what Mr rogers does to us, he draws you in with his voice and words, he's mesmerizing. You can instantly feel the calm swim over you when he speaks.
