"4.4. 2024 A Korean family moves to Arkansas with the intention of creating a better life there, but everyday life in the new area has its challenges and culture clash is inevitable. "Minari" is a chronicle set in the neoliberal era. It realistically points out how the American Dream is a privilege reserved for the few lucky and rich ones."

" Notes: Even though I did like it, to be honest, it never really blew me away though. First of all, I think there was a lack of context. Indeed, when these characters arrived in Arkansas, they had a whole life in South-Korea and then again another life in California but you learned so very little about what happened back then and, as a result, I couldn't really compare their current situation with what they had before and make up my mind on my own if it was indeed an improvement or not.

A good movie

“I wasn't really sure what to expect from this flick but since it had been very well received, I thought I might as well check it out.

Indeed, when these characters arrived in Arkansas, they had a whole life in South-Korea and then again another life in California but you learned so very little about what happened back then and, as a result, I couldn't really compare their current situation with what they had before and make up my mind on my own if it was indeed an improvement or not. In the same fashion, I mentioned that they first arrived in California, so this movie was not even about them facing a culture clash and struggling with settling in a new count” read more

My Top 10 Favourite Movies of 2021 (10 movies items)

"This is a movie that was nominated for the previous year's awards but that I categorise as a 2021 release. I usually find dramas like this hard to comment on, but this one has a very interesting demeanour: it's quiet and sedate, yet it always holds your attention. It's about a Korean family moving to rural America, and each member of the family has their own story to tell. At the centre is the father Jacob's determination to start a farm and the friction it causes with the others. The significan"

Movies the giraffe watched in 2022: May (35 movies items)

"First viewing - May 7th Showtime I couldn't seem to catch Minari in a theatre during its run, so I was pleasantly surprised to find it on the Showtime app. It was totally worth the wait. I found the tale of a Korean family chasing an American dream to Texas quite fascinating, & really enjoyed getting to know the family. The whole thing feels believable too. There were some minor things that keep me from calling it great, but it came close & I'm glad I finally caught up with it."
