Searching was a movie that I would sincerely watch again- amazing cast, a plot that ACTUALLY works compared to movies with the POV through digital screen, OST that fits, and his acting-oh my god- he deserves PROPER recognition!!

[@rishadk4299]

Yeah a superb movie.Loved it

[@futureright7]

Searching was incredibly smart and touching movie. It went far beyond my expectation. Especially, John Cho's acting was one of the best part. He showed both controlled and desperate love for his daughter. Great movie.

[@markanderson100]

Agreed. Also.. his (not her) daughter.

another underrated movie. i thinks it was awesome

[@DannetteSS]

Haven't seen the new movie, but I could listen to him all day. Such a sincere, funny, and thoughtful person. And uber talented.

[@lilyj3392]

THE MOVIE IS AWESOME. it's SO POPULAR in south korea, everyone is loving it. the reviews are so goooood and i personally enjoyed it so much. i literally cried, had goosebumps, and was just laughing at the end. can't believe the movie didn't feel at all uncomfortable even though the screens were full of computer screens and camera screens. one of the best movies of 2018 :D

[@3rd-Wave_Rebel]

he's 46 and is looking good for an asian who never raisin!

[@divisionagentbailey6727]

Jack Mehoff Asian never... wtf?

[@theoblack4592]

Because raisins prune ...

[@scorpiaflameful]

there is no way he is 46, wtf, stop lying

[@scorpiaflameful]

White ain't right, browns don't drown?

[@rhfemsdnlzm]

As a Asian, He's just look like 46 yo man. well maybe 46 yo 'celebrity' ya know. but yeah we can say he's 46 yo.

[@loved012one]

That story about his mother is hilarious!

[@ahhwe-any7434]

loved012one I feel like he's joking bc how old is this guy for his parents to be that out of the loop on things. I'm pretty sure my parents would know not to use a laptop as a cutting board. Plus, I'm pretty sure if they haven't seen a laptop even a day in their lives, they'd wonder what's in between the folds. Unless he's just talking about some huge iPad thing that was turned off.

[@andro3041]

@@ahhwe-any7434 you live in a bubble because not everyone is like your circle

[@ahhwe-any7434]

@@andro3041 um you live in a judgemental, ignorant, obvious no life, not much going on bubble to get all that from ish not even in context. You naive, gullible fool. bc who said everyone is in my circle? Yes, I literally said I know everyone in the world well, we all chill w/ each other, & it's really peaceful. Stop being ignorant and get out of a strangers ass, making assumptions like its something actually valid. I could see strangers smacking you with the dumb sh you approach ppl with. Drama queen creep. Get out my ass, weirdo

[@JJ-yu6og]

There was an apple icon on his wife's cutting board!! Lol.

[@karlaastorga4799]

Watched searching the other day and I have to say, you know it’s a good movie when you have a family discussion about it. We had just finished it and immediately rewatched the ending to prove a point after our discussion

[@QUITUTINCIPICTURES]

Harold & Kumar will forever be my teen comedy classic! I love how the #OscarsSoWhite protest/backlash actually had an effect cause back in the days you wouldn't see asian guys or black guys on this talk shows unless they are extremely famous or in a super big hit movie. Things are changing after all.

[@suzawilo]

QUITUTINCI TV Way too slowly though😩

this movie was incredible, his performance was absolutely groundbreaking

[@amazingsupergirl7125]

I’m pumping myself up to watch the last half of his movie. A nervous wreck? I was crying and shaking. Also, going crazy cuz I KNEW I KNOW him. Thx to google he is, of course, Sulu 😍🖖🏻

[@ufo717212]

IMHO "searching" is the best film of 2018.

[@transpeedyang123]

John is awesome.

[@denissedeo895]

Uh-mazing movie! Had my whole family (of movie enthusiasts) clapping, cheering, yelling and freaking out the whole time! Wish I had watch it at the movie theater! Best movie we watched in 2018.

[@stryker9816]

I feel like I watched him grow up. I remember when I was in high school the Harold and Kumar series began as well the American pie movies. Now its Star Trek series, Human Recall, now this wow different times for him.

[@CarmenZynger]

Searching was an awesome movie. John Cho is awesome.

[@janethalken8269]

i was shocked he said it took place all on-screen. i guess it did but it didn't feel like it, at all, since there's a lot of action that's technically on-screen but...live-taping? it didn't feel like that at all, it felt like the best action film i've seen in a decade. john cho is a BABE!

[@Jackert86]

He's a cute, fun guy

[@iceicebearr]

Movie was amazing btw. Unconventional but effective way of storytelling, incredibly fitting. Not to mention great acting!

[@Devillionaire]

Great interview. GREAT MOVIE!

The Rap Business SA is a beautiful country. But how's the level of safety there now with the land expropriation and murders of white farmers?

[@suzawilo]

Sid Cixel Were you conserned when black south Africans were being jailed and killed?

[@JH-qt4cu]
