The film Minari is set in the 1980s when Jacob Lee, the father of Korean-American boy David, decides to move his family from the West Coast to the remote state of Arkansas. Facing a new environment, David felt unfamiliar and helpless. David's mother was very dissatisfied with his father's decision. She was very dissatisfied with the wild place to move to. Unconsciously, this move made peace. Family life is in an unprecedented crisis...
This is a drama film, without many gorgeous expressions, but it is delicate, warm and vivid. A family-based movie, the simplicity and nature of children, and the warmth between family members make people feel the beauty and kindness in the family atmosphere... but often the most bland and subtle things are more impactful.
It's a very realistic movie, and the "immigration wave" of the 1980s was extremely hot. Strangers are often caught in a box of embarrassment - no matter how long they live in the land of immigrants, they will always be branded as "strangers", and many people are also getting farther and farther from their hometowns and alienated from their own country. language, national culture.
The crisis that David's family fell into is also a process of "integration" between strangers and the local. It may be difficult to accept at first, but the process of integration is necessary.
