The film tells the story of a Korean immigrant family. Unlike other immigrant stories, I think the film is more about exploring the subtleties of the family's emotional bonding process, and immigration is just a special coat that the family has. Like countless traditional Eastern families, intergenerational relationships, family conflicts and emotional choices are eternal topics. It's not a novel subject, but the story is interesting to me. That's why I don't want to call it an immigrant movie, because I don't think the focus of the movie is on the hard work of immigrants. In fact, this pressure to maintain a family, whether immigrant or not, exists in every family. Incomprehension between grandparents and grandchildren; the pressure and understandable vanity faced by an adult male father, husband, and son-in-law in a patriarchal society; women in traditional East Asian societies after having children Naturally, she changed her role from wife to mother, which also caused anxiety and discord in the relationship between husband and wife. These seem to be old-fashioned topics, but I am not bored. What I appreciate is precisely its "not avant-garde". When the whole environment is chasing avant-garde issues, I think maybe we can slow down, Perhaps it is precisely what is told by the less "avant-garde" stories is the life we need to face sincerely from time to time. The reconciliation of my grandmother and grandson and the mutual cuddling afterwards, this kind of living with my grandparents reminds me of my childhood. The granddaughter insists on communicating with her younger brother in English, and is keen to go to church. That kind of yearning for society outside the family will also remind people of her own state of mind. Minari means "water celery" in Korean Pronounced, the water celery seeds were brought from Korea by my grandmother, she is a typical old-time middle-aged and elderly woman, even a little vulgar, her initial arrival made her own daughter and son-in-law feel pressured and made her own grandchildren feel uncomfortable , but she also became a turning point for the family. She brought her young grandson to company, and the fire accidentally lit after the stroke destroyed the results of her son-in-law's first venture, but fused the hearts of her daughter and son-in-law to move forward together, saving the family that was on the verge of collapse. Also, in this family that still identifies as Korean, how can such an important ancestor in a traditional family be missing. In the movie, you can always see the shadow of my family life and growth period. Maybe every family that has been holding on is like this. There are countless accidents and touching, and they can't bear it but keep each other warm. In any case, this movie brought me warmth in the cold spring season in Wuhan. When I went to Netease Cloud to find the music of the movie, only one person left a message. He said: That night, my grandmother may have exchanged terms with God. True enough.
