Minari is a plant used in many traditional Korean dishes, as soon as it dies it grows back stronger. A vegetable that can grow just about anywhere, a great use of symbolism representing Korean immigrants who can settle anywhere. This movie summarizes a life lived by first generation immigrant families of America. There is just as much selfishness in our parents struggles as there was selflessness. We long to see them succeed. David’s relationship with Grandma depicts great isolation that poc children create with their heritage and identity. “She is not a real grandma.” “She doesn’t bake cookies.” (Stereotyping a classic White-American Grandmother) “Grandma smells like Korea.” This film effortlessly, and oh so beautifully, embodies, and encapsulates the American Dream.

Based on director Lee Isaac Chung’s young experience on the farm. Minari was nominated for 6 Oscars and a win for Youn Yuh-jung as the grandmother.

Steven Yeun always gives an incredible performance and the whole cast is just fantastic, really love this movie and how different it is from a lot of Hollywood movies. That being said it is an A24 after all

When David begins running after grandma I just broke down in tears

Youn Yuh-jung (Grandmother) is in an absolutely stunning series called "Pachinko" that I think you guys would really enjoy.

This is a movie I originally didn’t want to watch because I hate family dramas; they’re too intense. But I realized watching this reaction that it’s not that I didn’t want to watch this film, but I didn’t want to watch it alone. Thanks for watching it with me!

This movie hit me soooo hard. I'm half korean by my father's side and I gotta say there is a huge existencial void in my life - that I never knew I had before watching Minari. My dad never bothered to teach me or my sister how to speak korean (also he's not such a nice person and like Jacob my father's greed put us in such a vulnerable place while growing up). Anyways, me and my sister couldn't communicate with our grandma (halmoni) as we wanted due to the language barrier. She passed away two years ago and I still can't get pass the grief. Now that I'm older I can understand how hurtful it must have been for her not being able to interact with us as much as she wanted nor presenting korean culture. My grandma was an amazing and strong woman. She was born in North Korean and scaped the war when she was only a teenager. At the beginning of this month grandma came to me during a dream so happy to see me but she asked me if I could start studying korean anytime soon so we could talk more and she would love to help me. So I started my korean classes and I'm studying and watching all the contents I possibly can about Korean culture in hopes to reconnnect with Now I'm here crying while watching you guys react to this movie. Thank you for being so sensitive as usual.

Pretty wild that Lee Isaac Chung, writer/director of this movie is the director of the sequel to 'Twister' with Glen Powell coming out in July, didn't see that one coming!

fun fact! steven yeun was the first asian actor to EVER be nominated for best actor at the oscar’s bc of his performance in this film :-) insane that it took so long, but he absolutely deserved it. i always knew he was talented, but he rlly knocked it out of the park in this i totally get what you mean about being conditioned into expecting the absolute worst out of dramas in the discussion at the end, i always say something similar when i recommend this movie to ppl!! like, it’s still so beautiful and raw and grounded even without insane tragedy, and the tough things that happen still HAVE weight and ARE devastating, but it’s because of what they mean for this specific family that we’ve grown to care for and root for as an audience, not because they just threw in the most objectively terrible thing that could happen regardless of who you are

The little girl was not from the modern family. Glad you guys enjoyed the movie tho. The movie captured those early Koreans who moved to the US and tried to settle in.

david running towards grandma is so comforting and sad at the same time, loved that scene!

Thank you for reacting to this beautiful film. I love the story of the immigrant experience and the dynamic of the family. Grandma is the best!

Glad you guys covered this film! It's beautiful in its simplicity and portrays the complex family dynamics in such a raw way. It's filled with quiet moments and struggles that first generation immigrants often face. The scene where Monica cries over chili powder and anchovies from Korea comes to mind. Something that may appear silly to cry over initially, but it brings Monica great comfort and joy, as those particular ingredients aren't as accessible to her in Arkansas, but are often used in Korean cuisine. It's something that's both familiar and comforting, along with the arrival of her mom, in a space that still feels so foreign and daunting to her. I remember reading an article about how ethnic supermarkets are often one of the first spaces of comfort for immigrants, as they provide the sights, scents and nourishment that are familiar and reminiscent of their home countries ✨

Glen lives! Lol

My husband of 23 years is a Korean immigrant and this review was so fun to watch. They really nailed the family dynamics and trust me, Korean grandmas are just like this! If you guys go down the Korean movie/drama rabbit hole you may never come back, they are awesome.

You know your state is so forgotten that you get excited every time the movie mentions the word “Arkansas”💀

Loved to see y’all laughing during the small moments, comforting to see how some things are the same no matter where you come from.

I really love this movie, thank you for watching it and encouraging more people to see it! It was one of my favorites nominated that year of the Oscar’s (this and Sound of Metal). It’s just a really beautiful, simple, and emotional film that deserves far more love and attention!

46:43 absolutely not annoying! i think that was the point even. Even the characters felt that forboding feeling. But theres also happiness, sadness and so many more feelings inbetween all blended into each other so...naturally. hence this reality TV feeling. Its a unique slice of a very familiar and relatable experience which earns it its critical acclaim. Not the plot, but just the ability of screenplay to capture reality

i really hope you guys will watch more asian pictures in the future!

Nominated for 6 Oscars including Best Picture.

I've been waiting for you to finally rest and be able to watch! Thanks again guys

forgot how much i loved this movie. so glad yall watched this. this type of comforting intimate movie reminds me of another called “driveways” hopefully one day y’all end up reacting to that one

Beautiful music too. One of my favourite soundtracks.

LOVE that you reacted to this!

I hadn't watched this and it was amazing to see it along side you guys! Also, it's so funny to see you traumatized XD waiting for something bad to happen 😂😂😂

Brilliant movie; brilliant reaction. Thanks, guys.

Who selected this ! Great choice. Such a great American immigrant story

Been waiting for this one! I watched it on the treadmill and was SOBBING by the end.

Guys, please watch and react to Midnight Runners. It’s a korean action comedy film. Hope you’ll consider watching it!

I'm pretty sure I recommended this, THANK YOU so much for watching it! I had hoped you would enjoy the family aspect of the story. And of course, Steven Yeun 💙 It made me feel like I wanted to spend more time with my family. I wanted to make sure you all got a taste of how versatile A24 can get. I promise they don't only traumatize the audience, they love focusing on deep storytelling. Monica's quote about Jacob choosing the farm over the family was so impactful. And then during the fire, it clicks for her when she goes to try to save the farm with him. Then David finally runs after Grandma showing that physically he's getting stronger since his heart is getting stronger. To show Grandma that he thinks of her as his Grandma now. The fire reunited their family's bond and strengthened them both individually and as a unit. This was perfectly shown by them finally sleeping together on the floor which they refused to do at the beginning of the film. It was so grounded in reality and as you said, if you look at other people's lives you probably know someone who's been through something similar. I am not Korean but I know in a lot of different Asian cultures they heavily emphasize food as a means of bringing their families together. I've seen and heard of so many instances where they will just travel with spices and certain authentic foods that they've prepared for their family members who are in America. Who can't easily access the authentic versions. I know quite a few people who bring things like authentic kimchi over to their family members, I've seen a video of a girl unpackaging it after it was sent to her from her parents or grandparents. In Asian cultures, they LOVE communal meals such as hotpots. Where everyone sits around a table and enjoys it together. In the US we tend to just order a meal for ourselves and that's it. We eat our own meals and don't really share as much. In Asian cultures, they order meals for the entire table. That's why when you order at more authentic Asian restaurants they bring you a lot of food and then they give you smaller plates on the side. You are supposed to take some of each meal and transfer it onto the smaller plate so that you are grabbing some of everything because you are supposed to use the smaller plates to eat off of. It makes the entire meal more of a bonding experience instead of a self-centered one. You actually have to communicate with one another if you need a dish passed to you, and you learn how to share and only take the amounts you can eat because you need to save enough for everyone else to feed themselves as well. It also takes the burden off of the person preparing it because they can sit down to eat at the same time as everyone else. I prepare meals for many family members and I'm always the last to be able to sit down, so my stuff is always cold/ I have to reheat it a bunch. I wish we valued communal meals more like Asian cultures do. And randomly, the 1st time I ever heard that there was a job called Chicken Sexing was on Dirty Jobs with Mike Rowe.

Wow I wasn’t expecting this but am excited!! I loved this movie.

I would love to see you guys react to Imitation Game (2014), A Beautiful Mind (2001), and/or The Theory of Everything (2014)! They are all fairly similar movies but they are all amazing and Imitation Game is a personal favorite! Love what yall do, the laughs are amazing!

You should check out the 2018 "Oceans 8" with Sandra Bullock and Cate Blanchett or "Timeless" Gerald Butler 🍿🎥🎉 Enjoy your reactions guys 😊😁

Hey, you guys should react to 'Unthinkable' (Released 2010) starring Samuel L Jackson and Carrie Anne Moss. Would be create to see your guys thoughts and opinions on it especially with certain situations/scenes

It's got action,drama,suspense,romance,mystery, it's got everything . It's such a great show. It would make such a great reaction. You all like the mission impossible tom cruise movies you would love it.

I don't know if you guys have seen it on your personal time, but I'd love to see your reactions to Bates Motel. An amazing show with mystery, intrigue, and suspense.

You guys should watch Ford v Ferrari great movie

Hi guys! Will you be reacting to the new Fallout series?

Guys come on, when is Bridgerton coming?? Oak would esp. love it bc it's like Pride and Prejudice with hot steamy scenes ❤‍🔥😂

Check out the Movie 6 UNDERGROUND

Is there any reason reaction channels don't watch this movie when it's so well received by critics and watchers?

Honestly would have liked the movie more if they actually shot in Lincoln, Arkansas or around that area since that is where the family settled in real life. They shot in Oklahoma because it was cheaper to shoot in compared to Arkansas. It’s still a good movie, but as a native Arkansan it would have been nice to show off the state to other people.

PLEASE REACT TO JENNIFER LOPEZ MOVIE MAID IN MANHATTAN🙏🏼

React to DEATH NOTE ANIME
