Watching these people walk around the hometown where I grew up and live is quite a vibe

Man, I was a PA on this movie, and I did not see a single thing you describe in this, and it's blowing my mind.

Jin has been running away his entire life and should stay put for once, and Casey has been tethered to the town her entire life, too scared to run away. I love that their roles flipped at the end of the movie, yet it is exactly what they needed. Great film

I cannot believe how few subs you've got. This is quality, quality analysis that makes really compelling connections across two cinematic bodies of work I wouldn't have thought had anything in common. Cannot wait to watch columbus now...

Great stuff. A grossly overlooked piece of film-making . Keep up these video Essays. Good insight.

Sometimes KZfaq algorithms pay off. I watched a different "Columbus" essay yesterday and yours popped up today. I'm very grateful - it's a magnetic movie, and your insights are compelling. Thank you!

This is excellent, it's incredibly hard to find a KZfaqr who can properly analyse a film and bring something interesting to the table, instead of mumbling the wikipedia plot for 20 minutes. Thanks for sharing! Wish you could keep uploading videos

Thank you Thank you Thank you very much for this video. I keep watching the film Columbus over and over again and it moves me so much but i don't know why and I don't find the words to describe the film or the emotions i feel when I watch it. And you just found the words.. so perfect and so smoothly. THANK YOU FROM THE BOTTOM OF MY HEART.

really pleased with this movie, and watched After Yang twice before this one. Kogonada has a great aesthetic vision and really looking forward to more, as it comes ... peace
