"Beautiful Day" was a touching movie - but not at all what I expected. I thought it would be more about the show - which would be fascinating by itself. But I think the essence is that Fred Rogers was a true friend when one was needed. He helped millions of children in many ways. Not just educationally but taught values without preaching. Without "spoiling" I will say that he helped one person in his time of need. When my children were little. I watched the show sometimes when I was home during the day. Along with "Sesame Street" PBS provided a great forum for children. Growing up in Pittsburgh, um, ah, "a few years ago," I watched the Josie Carey Show where Fred got his start. Mr Rogers along with Julia Child, and Masterpiece Theater, helped build PBS into a unique network. I salute him for that. Great performances by the entire cast. Special shout-out to Matthew Rhys. My only criticism - some very slow-moving parts. But overall worth seeing.
