Minari

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.

    7.0/10 A decent American college narrative. Cress (Minari) can grow tenaciously in any environment—the metaphor that seems to have open potential and cultural tolerance is still essentially limited to the stereotyped East Asian national experience. If we follow Stuart Hall's teachings and see representation as an intervention and shaping energy of reality rather than a passive representation of a mirror of reality, then in the context of cultural identity politics in 2020, we should perhaps call for such a An image that refuses to be a Minari—rejects any form of self-consolation and lacks a narrative of suffering, whether political or aesthetic—in contrast, it needs precisely that which burns unrealistic aspirations and exhaustion. The burdened raging fire of the withered car.

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!
