I experienced a magnificent film with my Mom tonight. 𝗠𝗶𝗻𝗮𝗿𝗶 is a melancholic and humorous slice-of-life American film. It lovingly portrays the cruel reward of financial insecurity which often arises from chasing one's dream (and the toxicity of being obsessed with such an aspiration, at the expense of financially and affectionately providing for one's family in particular), yet the inherent beauty of pursuing it. The movie also exemplifies the necessity of humility for love to arrive at empathy and the beauty of South Korean culture not assimilating with America's predominant White European heritage, but co-existing with it.
~ Notes ~ • The pacing is patient yet never glacial. • I would've preferred if this film concluded with its last sleeping scene (I'm being vague to avoid spoilers) because it so powerfully symbolizes 𝗠𝗶𝗻𝗮𝗿𝗶's aforementioned themes. It's my favorite scene in this majestic film, alongside the moments when the kids (David and Anne Yi) make paper airplanes and send them flying. • So skilled are the actors, that nuanced facial expressions even unspeakingly portray the rich medley of emotions which are often made dominantly obvious in other films through climactic speeches. Nonetheless, the few minutes of scenes which unfurl are well-made and they provide the film a more definitive ending. ~ ~ ~ Have you seen 𝗠𝗶𝗻𝗮𝗿𝗶 yet?
