What an American dream.

3 stars, the content of the film is very simple, the traditional American dream theme, but the shooting is more realistic, there is no dramatic success, but a realistic theme similar to "Peking Man in New York". My hometown can’t hold my dreams, and I fantasize about being successful in a foreign country, but in a foreign country I was thrown to the bottom. On the road to success, I was constantly frustrated and experienced the test of failure. In order to succeed in giving up your family and loved ones, etc. But the film still gave a warm family ending at the end, which is relatively conventional.

    The winner of the Grand Jury Prize at the Sundance Film Festival, in a year when Korean film criticism declined, this independent small production created by a Korean-American team has entered this year's Oscar awards season, and the old actor Yin Ruzhen will become the most A strong contender for Best Supporting Actress. The title Minari is a Korean transliteration of water celery, the story of a Korean immigrant family who farms in the American interior in the 1980s. The setting sounds far away, but the delicate human relationship is enough to make people empathize. As small as the parents of three generations of grandparents living in the same house, as big as the cultural conflict between the East and the West, the director does not seek violent contradictions and extreme emotional expression. The American dream of Koreans has neither the blood of Korean dramas nor Hollywood. The blood of the style, everything seems sincere and natural, and the high level is shot in a small format.

    The story is okay, but the filming isn't engaging enough.

Minari quotes

  • Soonja: Penis broken!

    David: It's not called a penis, it's called a ding-dong!

  • Soonja: Minari is truly the best. It grows anywhere, like weeds. So anyone can pick and eat it. Rich or poor, anyone can enjoy it and be healthy. Minari can be put in kimchi, put in stew, put in soup. It can be medicine if you are sick. Minari is wonderful, wonderful!
