    This film really captures what I felt when I went to Columbus for the first time. Use the relationship between spaces to reflect the relationship between...

    I don't like it, the filming is too boring, too boring, and too cramped, and the script can be used for the theater. It is said in the play that good buildings can heal people's hearts. But I felt like I was torturing myself watching this movie. . Say what you heard in the Q&A. The director was originally a film critic with a master's degree in film studies. This is his first feature film. He also mentioned that he especially liked Yasujiro Ozu, who has done research on Asian films and was...

    After watching this, I clearly felt for the first time that the sense of space in film creation and the use of film to shoot architecture can be completely different things. An's Old Pagoda is the former, which is more like integrating architecture and space into creation; this is the latter, which seems to express architecture as a character. There is no one better than the other, but completely different paths can be taken in terms of creation and...

    #11th FIRST# The whole composition is based on the asymmetrical harmony church, and the axis is on the right. A father-son story is mixed with a mother-daughter story, and it seems to be the mix "Autumn Harmony" from "When Father Was Live". The master's building has become a metonymy of father/mother, and the girl's favorite list has a hint of a database. It is very innovative to connect the architectural space with the emotions of the characters. The lighting is also unique. It's just so...

    The transparent oxygen feel of the sun shadow. Architecture is embedded in the film as a motif, standing silently as a background after the characters’ Before-style dialogues and strolls, and almost becomes a character to promote the development of the plot story. When the protagonist talks about the healing function of architecture, many quiet and clear The fixed shots and precise and smooth editing seem to have become the mirror images of these regular modernist buildings in this film,...

    The setting and composition are all remarkable, a love letter to the city and architecture. In terms of plot and characters, there is not much to say except that the delicate oriental embarrassment is very...

    The picture is so beautiful that I have forgotten to pay attention to the plot. The director "emptied" a lot and handed the footage to the major buildings of Columbus (Fun fact: it turned out to be Mike Pence's hometown), and when I watched it, I felt that they "seem to be talking". Warm, soft and full of heart. But in front of such excellent and perfect audio-visual language, it also exposed the incapacity of Haley Lu Richardson, John Cho and other actors at a...

    An introduction to architecture, the representative figures in the mixed-cutting industry finally entered the film creation circle. Exquisite and elegant but not fancy, the stillness conveyed by the fixed lens, and the frame rate of the whole process are all the picks that provoke time. It is not easy for the first work to maintain such a style. The single-point perspective and depth composition of a large number of segmented pictures, together with the urban space proficient in architectural...

    a fragment

    A clip: Casey takes Kim on a tour of what she believes to be "the second-most building in Columbus."

    “It was the first modernist bank in America, imagine a bank made entirely of glass was rare at the time. It was also very pioneering, because the banks designed in that era were spectacular, like...

    Watch "In Columbus" in Columbus

    Some words from the front: This film review is destined to be a bad film review, because if I didn't happen to live in Columbus, I might be reluctant to spend $6 to see a small town sightseeing film with a dull plot. But since it's a story set around you, you can't help but want to see what's going...

Columbus quotes

  • [Jin and Casey sit on the entrance steps of the Columbus City Hall]

    Jin: I think this is what my dad was referring to.

    Casey: That?

    Jin: Yes.

    Casey: Hm.

    Jin: If it's not, I'm gonna say that it is.

  • Jin: [translating his father's manuscript in Korean] It says, "Effort plus cost," uh, "to see what is invisible and always visible." No, "omni-visible." No, "always visible." "Always visible."

    Casey: Wow. I should ask Gabe at work. He's really into these kind of riddles.

    Jin: Yes. Yes, what the fuck? My father was always trying to be so profound. Why wouldn't he just write the name down or draw a better picture?

    Casey: Well, I didn't think he thought someone was ever going to read this. He probably knew exactly what he meant.

    Jin: Still fucking annoying.
