Movie night Thursday November 21 "Won't You Be My Neighbor?"
Our week-delayed 2nd Thursday Movie Night is this Thursday, November 21. We will be viewing the 2018 documentary film about Mister Rogers, "Won't you be my neighbor?" The film tells about the life and guiding philosophy of Fred Rogers, For over 30 years, Fred Rogers, an unassuming minister, puppeteer, writer and producer, was beamed into homes across America in his beloved show Mister Rogers' Neighborhood. This documentary received acclaim from both critics and audiences. It grossed over $22 million, becoming the top-grossing biographical documentary ever produced and the 12th largest-grossing documentary ever produced. Read more at the film's Wikipedia page.
Note that there is a new dramatic film titled "A Beautiful Day in the Neighborhood" starring Tom Hanks that is being release to theaters this Friday. An article in The Atlantic, My Friend Mister Rogers, gives a very personal perspective on both the new dramatic film as well as the 2018 documentary film we'll be watching.
Meet for snacks and fellowship on Thursday at 7:00; movie starts at 7:30. We gather at the home of Ann and Mike, 110 Seville Blvd, Lafayette, LA 70503. If you have questions call Mike at 337-852-3668,
Please do feel free to invite your friends.
