Minari is translated as water celery, water celery likes moist, fertile soil, and is resistant to waterlogging and cold. The suitable growth temperature is 15-20 °C, and it can withstand low temperatures below 0 °C. It can be known that water celery has strong vitality and strong adaptability to the environment. Just like the family in the film, who immigrated to the United States from South Korea, began the fusion of Korean culture and American culture. The male and female protagonists also experienced various difficulties. After understanding each other and overcoming difficulties, they took root on this fertile soil. Unlike other blockbusters, this film starts from small characters and focuses on those ordinary little things, making it easier for the audience to resonate. What impressed me the most was the change of the husband and wife. At first, the husband's machismo left the wife with no choice. As the conflict intensified, a fire changed everything. The husband rushed into the fire desperately to save his wife. As the poem said: "The wild fire can't be burnt out, but the spring breeze blows again." The fire burned down the house, but it made the family more united, just like the title of water celery, as tenacious.
