After watching "Minari" twice in one night, it can be said that I like this movie very much. The details of daily life in the movie are extremely vivid, especially the inexplicable sense of comedy in the rivalry between my grandmother and grandson, which made me laugh out loud in the living room by myself. This is what attracted me the most in the beginning. Congratulations to Yin Ruzhen, who won the Oscar for Best Supporting Actress for her role as a grandmother who is not like a grandmother but works hard to be a grandma. In my mind, the cutest old lady among Asian actresses was Shu Xilin, and now Yin Ruzhen is added. The roles played by the two old ladies have some common charms, such as the occasional vicious tongue, and the consistent transparency, which is completely different from the stereotype of the traditional Middle East and East Asian old ladies who are either blindly loving, submissive, or bitter and hated. The characters have their unique personal charm, not a symbol of a group, but a living individual. If it weren't for his young age, the little boy who played his grandson David might also be nominated for a best supporting actor, which is really cute. The little boy's anxiety and worry, the little boy's shrewdness and cunning, the little boy's sensible and caring, he is wearing little rain boots and pouting his little butt as he runs slowly in the woods, he deliberately fell and broke the stick and picked it around. The appearance of a foxtail grass is naive and genuine and kind, and there is no trace of performance. This role is also irreplaceable. The emotional ending of the hero and heroine is also very gratifying. The American dream did not allow them to save each other, but the real reaction of the impending disaster made them sure of each other's protection. It was the fire that saved their love and saved a soon-to-be Broken family. Steven Yeun made me forget his evil in "Burning". He played Jacob is a good man who is unlucky but he treats his family warmly and takes his dreams seriously and persistently. Han Yili has no merits and faults, and the family seems to have no sense of disobedience, which is also a rare thing. Regarding the title Minari, it is actually the Korean transliteration of "water celery", and the theme cannot be understood any more. "The film is also universal in its insight into the resilience of the human spirit: when people are uprooted, they are re-rooted, and although the land may be foreign, the seeds of hope will always sprout tomorrow, and everyone can Like water celery (Minari), it can grow anywhere." ————— ("The WRAP" comprehensive review of "Los Angeles Times") Why I like the movie "Minari", because although it is an American movie, it It expresses the warmth of East Asians, feels kind, and can produce strong empathy.
