In this era of globalization, where railways and highways connect the whole country and air routes connect the world, it seems that everyone will leave their hometown, and inevitably encounter a series of dilemmas, facing the despair of not being able to place their bodies in a foreign country. As a Korean who has worked hard in the United States for ten years, the protagonist resolutely gave up California, where he had finally established some roots, and chose to take his family to the countryside to realize his dream of becoming a farmer. The process of re-rooting is difficult. In the face of bad weather, the despair of being betrayed by their compatriots, the torture of illness, and accidental teasing, they also thought about giving up and thinking about separation, but in the end they chose to stand together as a family. Difficulty, start over. The whole film is a warm tone, the beautiful natural scenery of the countryside seems to dilute the sadness of living in a foreign land, but the loneliness still pervades the blue sky lightly, maybe this is a foreign land, but Minari will still grow stubbornly after all...

    The last fire gave it a bit of life, but it also meant that it was not broken. There is a texture that flows in but is detached from life, and the core is still the deconstruction and remodeling of the spiritual world of East Asian immigrants. The play is uneventful, the performance is remarkable, and the overall performance is flawless.

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!
