Actor Yoon Yeo-jeong won 11 Best Supporting Actor awards in the United States, and there is a movie that is expected to write a new history of being the first Korean man to win an Oscar.
This is the movie’Minari’, directed by Korean American director Jeong Isaac.
Based on the director’s experience, it contains the story of a Korean family who immigrated to the United States.
With the sympathy of critics, it is being criticized as the most American film.

A movie about a Korean family who immigrated to a rural village in the United States in search of hope, like a’Buttercup’ that grows green even in barren land.
“Dad is going to make a big garden.”
Both the director and the actors are Korean-Americans, and although there are many Korean ambassadors, they are quite American, produced by Brad Pitt.
Regardless of the country, it has been evaluated as the most American film by expressing realistic things that immigrants in the United States would have experienced in the 1980s with a universal sensibility.

“I made it to document my childhood story, also my experience on an Arkansas farm.”
Starting with the Sundance Film Festival in the U.S. last year, we are continuing to write awards at various film festivals. In particular, Yoon Yeo-jeong has already won 11 Best Supporting Actress Awards for her acting as a Korean grandmother who gives strength to the immigration life of her son-in-law and daughter.

“American kids don’t like to share a room with their grandmother.”
“She doesn’t. It’s a Korean kid.”
But next month, I was nominated for a foreign language film award, not a work award, because the proportion of English ambassadors was less than 50% at the Golden Globe Awards.
Then, Asian and African directors and actors criticized them, saying, “Separating nationality based on language is not appropriate for the times.”

“If you look at the fact that (America) is a country created by a lot of immigrants who struggled together, (Minari) is a story of a really diverse group of people that Hollywood is currently contemplating.”
Expectations are growing whether the Buttercup, which is set to be officially released in the US next month, will resonate with ordinary Americans.
