Chief Chick Comments

Paced but interesting film as Korean family tries to make a go of land never successfully farmed. Some setback, occasional reprieves. Grandmother arrives from Korea and plants Minari on edge of local stream. Disasters follow and the couple cannot seem to share the same vision. The son, David, has a heart issue but Grandmother seems to push him forward. Executive producer is Brad Pitt. Nominated for Oscar for best picture

Realistic film about the difficulty of a culture successfully transferring their capabilities and knowledge. Acting of all involved was sensitive and Grandmother was a necessary and surprising stimulus to the plot. Both sad and inspiring, awakening in the viewer an appreciation for the Korean approach to challenging problems. This film deserves more viewing to aid understanding of what it is like to come to America, even if you are talented and driven.
