A beautiful day in the neighbourhood movie review

Fred Rogers was an American Children's T.V. host and being Irish I had not hear of Mr. Rogers until around 2 or 3 years ago. He was referenced in a lot of the American T.V. shows I did watch as a kid but I took no heed in it. I really got into watching clips of Mr. Rogers Neighbourhood and came to love the show and the man behind the show.

I was really excited when I found out that they were making a film of Mr. Rogers. It was released in America in November and it was released here on the 31st of January. I went with my brother to see the film today and here is what I thought of it. and WARNING THIS CONTAINS SPOILERS.

It was one of the best films I have seen in a long time. I think Tom Hanks did a great job at portraying Mr. Rogers. I love the part when he is sitting in the café with the journalist Lloyd Vogel and there is a minutes silence to think of all those who brought us into being. It was really powerful when the camera started zooming in on Mr. Rogers during this time and it reminded me of the scene in the passion of the Christ when just after Jesus was taken down from the cross where was a powerful moment when the camera was zooming in on Mary. It reminded me of that moment in the film. I feel this film opens up an awful lot about mental health especially men's mental health. I love how it deals with forgiveness especially between Lloyd and his father. This film is brilliant and is filled with morals.

I love the character development in Lloyd. He starts out as this work obsessed, negative, people hating, father and through his meetings with Mr. Rogers and life events with his father, he turns into a family loving man who wants to make up with his dad and make more time for his wife and son.

I also love how Joanne Rodgers (Fred Rogers wife) made a cameo appearance in the movie. Hint: She was in the café.

Self Confidence and How it has affected me

I done this blog post a few months ago O ne of the main reasons I have anxiety is because I have low self confidence. My low self confidence is more so in the way of my ability in being able to do future tasks rather than in how I look. Some nights I ask myself questions like how will I cope tomorrow if I don't sleep tonight?, will I be able to do the task I set out for myself tomorrow? therefore telling my self that I am not strong enough in such a situation. That sort of thinking lowers my self-confidence. This still happens me at times but now I try and tell myself that no matter what it will be ok. I am strong enough to deal with it. If I feel I am too anxious to think that way I talk to my brother and he tells me they are just thoughts, I will be strong enough to deal with it and then it reassures me that it will be ok and I will get through this. The last few weeks my self-confidence has gotten better and I am taking on more tasks. I feel I have a new found freedom. I used t...

Novena to St. Francis Xavier (4th of March to the 12th of March 2020)

Most amiable and most loving St. Francis Xavier, in union with thee I reverently adore the Divine Majesty. The remembrance of the favours with which God blessed thee during life, and of thy glory after death, fills me with joy. I implore thee to obtain for me, through thy powerful intercession, the inestimable blessing of living and dying in the state of grace. I also beseech thee to obtain the special favour I ask of this Novena. (Make your request here...) But, if what I ask is not for the glory of God, and the good of my soul, I pray and desire that which is the most conductive to both. Amen. Pray for us, St. Francis Xavier. That we may be made worthy of the promises of Christ. Let Us Pray. O God, Who didst vouchsafe, by the preaching and miracles of Saint Francis Xavier, to join unto Thy Church the nations of the Indies, grant, we beseech Thee, that we who reverence his glorious merits may also imitate his example, through Jesus Christ, Our Lord. Amen. Pray three times the Our Fath...

The Regular cars on the Waltons

Here is a list of some of the cars that appeared on the Waltons John Walton had a 1928 Model AA Ford 1 and a half ton pickup truck John-boy had a 1929/30 Ford Model A Coupe Jim-Bob had a 1926 Ford Model T This one could be the one he built himself Curt had a 1932 Ford Model B Sedan Delivery The Walton's family car in later seasons was a 1941 Plymouth Woody Station Wagon The Baldwin sisters could have had a 1925 Studebaker Cindy had a 1939/40 Ford convertible I couldn't find what make car Ep Bridges had and the website I saw wasn't sure about the Baldwin sisters car. My favourite of these cars would have to be Cindy's car because red is my favourite colour especially in a car. Fact about John Walton's truck. Sometimes it would not run so they would have to put a rope around the front bumper and some of the crew men would pull the truck into or out of the shot. Most of the vehicles were hard to steer. I found out about this fact on Judy Norton's (Mary Ellen) yout...
