This movie is the best. It’s how I discovered this treasure of a town, and architecture mecca, Columbus, IN. Btw: Kogonada has a new film out called After Yang, with Colin Farrell.
I saw it at the Nuart Theater in LA. You can check out the rest of the screening list here: www.columbusthemovie.com/screenings/ hope you get to see it! :)
Proud to see Vice do a segment on this film. I was born and raised in Columbus. However backwards the US may view the Midwest, Columbus Indiana is inclusive and forward thinking.
It gets kind of old after the third time. Harold will always be trying to live a structured, organized, life. Kumar will never grow up. They bump into each other, make a plan to hang out, then Kumar fucks it up, usually because of weed. They travel, bicker, Neal Patrick Harris shows up and escalate their hijinks, usually because of drugs or his addiction to sex. Then everything magically works out and they go back to their former selves, never actually learning a thing.
Exploring disconnected relationships and how two people navigate a budding interaction and discovery about a place and each other while working through their opinions and feelings about the relationship dynamics connected to them. How do they parallel? How do they differ?
If I were to compare the architectural lines of a structure to a personality it may look like this. The sharp edges could be the rigid viewpoints or constructs a person has made about life or people . The curves and overall shape of the place can also be dictated by vantage points as does the colors they select for the interior and exteriors.
Always thought that kid from Hey Arnold would have gone pro... Good he settled down and got a good job, shit he's not still doing the thumb wiggle handshake.
I do not watch much movies but if I do it's usually independent. Watched Columbus due to Haley Lu. I saw her in Montana Story and was quite impressed. The movie that followed Montana Story was Columbus. First thing came to mind was the sailor. but did a info check. And lo and behold Haley Lu was in it. I was not disappointed with the acting of both John and Haley. But it was more than that, Kogonada has a gift. Regarding the diversity question, we need to stop that. It didn't matter to me what race John was. Nor it would if I walked into a room. Just say great acting because you are
John Cho saying it like it is: diversity when it's forced upon you, like you did with the intro VICE, reduces him and his film to his colour. Why insert the 'minority' narrative into this video from the start, the film looks gorgeous on it's own. The diversity issue can be talked about after you've introduced and shown the film. Who's the editor of this video? Fire that person.
film made no sense and had no substance ..it was ike they wanted make a beauty film and just threw these 2 people together just to fill time ... the vibe and atmosphere of columbus was not included , very disapointing
Not really, this has been for a long time a sore spot in US cinema and even though strides have been made this isn't the norm and for some reason we have regressed in the US on race relations I feel like since the 1970s.
Flip Dip not really..... when the lead is a MOC, the love interest is usually a white woman and the women of that guy's race are usually given a small role just to play up a racist caricature in order to elevate the desirability of the white woman in the story. Also I'm totally not against interracial relationships. I'm in an interracial relationship myself. I'm just mentioning its a common pattern, I think Hollywood can show interracial couples without one of the people always being white because we know society standard of beauty revolves around whiteness (which also fuels skin bleaching/colourism) so is it really that progressive to have a white love interest? There is also this theme in movies with Asian characters where the lead doesn't feel "westernized" enough, doesn't want the traditional woman/man that their parents push them to date so often times they'll go and run into the arms of the white love interest. This idea of assimilation into Western society through falling in love with a white character is such an old movie trope. It would be nice to see it be done with a "westernized" POC love interest for once
Booger F ikr? In my country white is the minority but our leaders (who are indians that bleach their hair which is to look white) turn in the other way around
"That's really the trap of diversity. It's that sometimes--with good intentions--it does [...]reduce you to your color." Love this answer.
Agree.
Can we talk about how John Cho is 45 and looks like he did at 30, just with a beard? :o
Mobiganic nah he definitely looks old now
@@Dubstepping23 You're right
Facts, he's a great actor.
I want to see him in more films with serious roles.
This movie is the best. It’s how I discovered this treasure of a town, and architecture mecca, Columbus, IN.
Btw: Kogonada has a new film out called After Yang, with Colin Farrell.
I saw and loved this film. It's my favorite film of the year so far and more people need to see it.
can you pass the link? if possible?
I loved this movie on my second view
My guy your flat top is a form of architecture
Columbus is a beautiful film. definitely worth checking out.
Chris Lee Where did you watch the film? I can't locate any theatres showing this film.

I got to work on this movie. Kogonada is a bit of an introvert but he's cool af
What is wrong with being an introvert?
Duane Craig I didn't saying anything was wrong with it?
Your words imply it. At any rate, how was he noticeably introverted?
This movie is astonishing visually and story wise, you should be proud
The shots in this video were beautiful.
This was fantastic. Kogonada and his directing is fantastic. Columbus is fantastic.
this guy looks like a grown up version of gerald from hey arnold
Who else wants one more Harold and Kumar?
Blank Face Its not progressive enough,too many harmful stereotypes.
More like Trumps base is raise hell for having to watch an Indian and Asian in another movie.
Sorry, not enough diversity in those movies
Blank Face yes please!

"Movies about minorities often don't get traction unless it is about minorities".
"Architecture is the structuring of emptiness "
I want to watch Columbus again and I just finished seeing it yesterday. Just yes. Gorgeous gorgeous wonderful.
:42-1:57 Absence, Open Spaces, Definition, Context, Depth, Reflection,
How absence and separation then effects connectivity with new people both on a superficial and deep level
The comparison of physical structures and human relationships
Makes me want to rewatch Harold and Kumar.
Exploring disconnected relationships and how two people navigate a budding interaction and discovery about a place and each other while working through their opinions and feelings about the relationship dynamics connected to them. How do they parallel? How do they differ?
It's the irony of calling it 'Columbus' that has my attention
Thing about diversity very nicely put by john cho there

I'm not into art house films but, on the other hand, I really like John Cho.

Only a racist sees race everywhere. 4:03 what he said here probably blew the interviewers mind. Smart guy, John Cho.
DerHirni exactly. The non-white actors I've met say the same thing.
Akin Khoo none of what you said makes sense
Akin Khoo you sound like the product of what happens when poc sjw’s are thrown into a sink garbage disposal
Columbus, Indiana is one of my check list of go-to places in the near future.

This! Exactly what I was thinking
The first line is the FUCKING TRUTH
What is up with that title?
Oh hey Harold is working for Vice! I wonder what Arnold and Helga are up to.
Don't test Acting Capt. Hikaru Sulu's acting methods or you will fail
Spectacular director n actor!
Ps:daaafuqqq John cho Looks soo Fuckkin hawwt while giving his interview!😥😥😥😥😣😣😣😣Argghhhh!
That haircut at 2:11 tho
4:30 I love his answer!
Amazing name
He needs a kick ass action movie next
Is this the white castle guy
How to categorize a minority?
Did everybody forget Harold and Kumar?
I approve this movie as a Korean
I have to watch this film
4:48-5:22 The dilemma
Deep
is the movie better than this video? cuz i almost fell asleep
Starring John Cho a meme lol
Pretty sure Asains are the majority.
Columbus was dope tho.
Intersections
Yo seats gonna be empty too bro
Ulieq 💦💦💦💦
Maybe people would watch minority movies if the stopped being so damn preachy.
Dat hair tho.
there is a beauty In emptyNess what a line but what is it
They're both ghosts. It's obvious from the trailer.
A new lost in translation.
This dude with a Marge Simpson haircut is a joke
JangaMaster you are dumb
JangaMaster
Ma Boi GERALD
Kid n Play
I would love to take this video seriously but man.... that haircut is waaaaay too distracting 😂
How about Black Prince. I bet no body knows about it cause it by minority and for minority.
Diversify just to be diverse? Stupid idea.
chloweful mmmmm Diversity mmmm
film made no sense and had no substance ..it was ike they wanted make a beauty film and just threw these 2 people together just to fill time ... the vibe and atmosphere of columbus was not included , very disapointing
Means little when the costar/love interest is a white woman as usual
Not really, this has been for a long time a sore spot in US cinema and even though strides have been made this isn't the norm and for some reason we have regressed in the US on race relations I feel like since the 1970s.

Whos the Eraser head? His hair fucked up.
I'm asian and unfortunately, I don't feel like paying 10 bucks to see a guy moping around looking at buildings.
Can't. It's not listed on theaters on account of your city being so lame.
@Blia Yang Exactly. John Cho is such a boomer.
Minorities? The last time I checked Asia had the biggest population in the world. Oh right! it's all about THE GOOD OLD U.S.A.
He's an American in an American Movie your point is?
My point is there is tons of Asian people making movies. Just because it's Not in "America" it still is happening.
Booger F ikr? In my country white is the minority but our leaders (who are indians that bleach their hair which is to look white) turn in the other way around
Lumi of course it is, predominantly. What are you on about?
Lumi The majority of people are white so it is a white country just like how Nigeria is a black country since the majority of people are black.
Sorry, this looks boring.
yur not that great or good looking
First comment maybe ?
Don't waste your time with this boring film, go to the library and take out a book on architecture.
