      It’s not in any capacity…it’s related to the video and it got your attention, not sure what else you want. Had the tittle been anything else might’ve never even clicked and left this message… two options: 1. Make a tittle that meets your standard and gets no views 2. They have catchy tittle that gets your attention allowing those like you to leave their comment. I think option two is the better choice…

      Latinos with one race usually mention their race. They’ll say “white Latino” or “afrolatino” etc. If they don’t mention any specific race and just say “Latino” it’s because they’re mixed with many races. Or because their race is irrelevant to the conversation.

The title passes the first and crashes and burns on the second. The title diminishes the content of the interview and covers something that takes up something like 10 seconds of total interview time. It's lazy and non-representative. Hence, hate the title love the interview. Not surprised at click-bait titles, just disappointed.

    I had no idea Jon directed every movie that really captured my undivided attention! He really captures moments so beautifully. So talented. The title needs to be updated/reworked. I guess not many people would know whom he is, unfortunately that's not what everyone thinks about, including myself. It's definitely time for the directors & behind the scene staff to get a lot more praise for their work. Everyone only recognises the actors. Not many people think about those behind the camera.
    Jon M. Chu - I see you bro! Ima be looking out for more of your work in the future and shall be re-watching the movies you've made that I already know and love! Keep the vision going! We need more of it in movies!

    Just watched Wicked and I loved it! He should be nominated for best director and cynthia for best actress.

    I didn't realize he was the same director of Crazy Rich Asians. That is one of my favorite modern movies. I have actually watched it several times which is rare for me to rewatch movies I first saw as an adult. It's really good storytelling. I did not go into Wicked with many expectations but I loved it. As I walked out of the theater I wanted to go right back in and watch it again.

    what an inspiring person. Met him many moons ago in HK at a bar, we have some common friends. Probably had 2-3 exchanges, he was very humble. Obviously he wasnt that big of a director then but im so happy that he have that same humble aura that makes me remembered him from time to time.

Thank for reminding us that it ok to make mistakes, to not have to be perfect, to face feeling "not good enough" or "imposter syndrome" head on and to just keep getting up and keep moving forward.

    He's right. Being a minority makes you fight harder because you have to prove it, and it's heartbreaking for me to hear someone in the powers talk negatively about me. I wasn't eavesdropping, I was just behind the door! But I fought my way up through hardwork not connection
