Minari, a Korean word that means "water celery". The water celery seeds brought from Korea can take root and grow everywhere, and they are full of vitality and can be made into various dishes to fill the stomach. Jacob didn't want to be poor and useless all his life, Jacob bought a house. He hopes to grow Korean vegetables on this land and sell them to local large Korean supermarkets.

The protagonist in the film is like Minari, facing his son's heart disease, financial constraints, water cuts, fires, and a life with no turning point in sight, but always grows as strong as water celery by the creek. Minari has become the most appropriate spiritual symbol for immigrants pursuing the American dream. It uses sincere family stories to tell the history of immigrants' hardships and struggles in foreign countries.

    The work of the Korean American director of the Olympic Games is not bad. It can be seen that the personal experiences and experiences of many Asian immigrants who went to the United States are valuable for understanding. It is still much worse than Zhao Ting's "Land of Nowhere" (the title should be translated as "The Land of Nomads").

    Three and a half. Only the performance is A-level, and the others are too conventional. The Asian immigrant groups, individual struggles and internal conflicts within the family have been presented to varying degrees, but they are all superficially, and the artificial traces on the script are still too strong. It can be seen that the actors are working hard to perform a sense of daily life, but they are back on track by the plot arrangement designed by the director. In short, the theme of Asian immigrants has not touched the ceiling. Both Han Yili and Yoon Ruzhen are so powerful that they steal the limelight from Steven Yuan and endorse their works with local national actors, which is probably not the envy of those movies that tell the stories of Chinese Americans on the big Hollywood screen in recent years.

Minari quotes

  • 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!

  • Jacob: They need to see me succeed at something for once.

    Monica: For what? Isn't it more important for them to see us together?

    Jacob: You go ahead and do what you want. Even if I fail, I have to finish what I started.
