Steven Yeun is so well spoken. I concur with him in that we are caught in a 3rd culture..where we have to validate ourselves or identify ourselves as either Korean or American but we are amalgamation of both and we are just who we are...so very true!

Last year, JJ Abrams was on a podcast and he mentioned how much he loved this movie when he saw a screening of it. This is so cool

Steven, that was Pulitzer winning essay worthy, your breakdown of the experience that is unique to immigrants and then Asian Americans. The existence of “Minari” is a statement, itself. Thank you Isaac for bringing this movie into existence. We are all better for it.

JJ actually said Minari with a Korean accent...impressive.

Totally on board, also it's quite interesting to see and hear a director of a totally different practice/reputation interview another, and also realize that these people, regardless of their overall reputation (with Abrams being seen as one of the "FX" guys so to speak for example) recognize the craft. Almost no matter the genre, these guys know what they're talking about and it's a delight to listen

Check out the one that was done by Variety where Parasite director Bong Joon Ho interviews Lee. I personally enjoyed that one.

this film is one of the best really. The casting was superb, especially Steven and YJ. Allan Kim showed depth no young actor in recent years have shown, and Han Yeri, who i clearly believed was the heart of this film, should have gotten a nod too (that last scene with Steven at the side alley of a store was deeply moving, and only an Actress with her caliber can deliver). I'm thinking, is the water in South Korea reallly that diffrent? How are this country producing these great acts? Like seriously? BTS? Bong Joon Ho? Now the cast of Minari? (arghhh).

13:25 - 15:35 The eloquence of Steven Yeun 👏🏻 💯

Yeun is such an intelligent, well educated person, is my impression of him from this video. Impressive. And unexpected, after seeing him in Walking Dead. Wonderful discussion here.

I love this interview that JJ Abrams questions with Stephen and Isaac's answers are so cool ! I subscribe the channel . I am a Korean and live in USA as a first generation immigrant who work all the time. I can understand what Stephen & Isaac mentioned about.. Thank you for your video.. !

I really like Steven's comparison of his performance to a venn diagram of sorts. As a second generation korean man, I never really thought of my American experience in that way but it makes a ton of sense.

Very authentic movie about how people find American dreams.

Love JJAbrams and his work. Happy to see him recognize Minari and his fellow filmmaker. This generation of film people are already so intelligent in their understanding and emotional appreciation of their tasks as directors, actors, scriptwriters. Some benefit from academic degree programs in film studies. So enjoyable to listen to them😘🤗👍💗🌺

Steven and Lee Isaac I hope they get more recognition for this movie🙏🏻
