Скачать или смотреть "Minari" | Movie Discussion & review with the Carleton Film Society

The Carleton Film Society team discusses their reflection of the Oscar-nominated film, "Minari". They review the themes of Asian representation and conflict between assimilation and cultural heritage. This movie discussion delves into the meaning of Minari, and the beauty in the simplicity of the film. They also praise the work of Yuh-Jung Youn in the role of the grandma, which helped to lighten the tension of the film.

Minari is about a Korean family who starts a farm in 1980s Arkansas. Yearning to own a small patch of land and be more than a chicken sexer, the ambitious paterfamilias, Jacob Yi, relocates his Korean-American family: sceptical wife, Monica, and their children, David and Anne, from California to 1980s rural Arkansas, to start afresh and capture the elusive American Dream. However, new beginnings are always challenging, and to find out what is best for the family, let alone start a 50-acre farm to grow and sell Korean fruits and vegetables, is easier said than done. But, amid sincere promises, cultural unease, fleeting hopes, and the ever-present threat of financial disaster, Jacob is convinced that he has found their own slice of Eden in the rich, dark soil of Arkansas. Can grandma Soon-ja's humble but resilient minari help the Yi family figure out their place in the world? (IMDB summary by Nick Riganas). This film was directed by Lee Isaac Chung, and received an Oscar for the role of Soonja (the grandma).

The members of CFS that were present for this discussion were Stephanie Hubert, Beatrice Villadelgado, and Katie Simon.
