"Minari" tells the story of a family of Korean immigrants who immigrated to the United States. The male owner chose to build a farm to make a living, but it was more difficult than expected, and the family's American dream was also severely hit by reality. Coupled with the arrival of his wife and mother, and the subsequent stroke, the burden on the family was increased. It is also a unique way that the film chooses to focus on the little boy David, especially when narrating him and his grandmother, the change in his relationship with his grandmother from South Korea from his dislike of the grandmother from Korea at the beginning is also a point that touched me very much. At the end of the film, the host takes David to the creek to cut water celery, saying that grandma really chose a good place, and the nursery rhyme that grandma sang to put David to sleep in the middle is all about the topic, because Minari is water celery. Like water celery, a family grows tenaciously despite the difficult environment and reality, struggling in an unfamiliar environment, but hugging tightly.
