We are about to say goodbye to the year 2020 and step into the next one. But before we do, let’s take a look at the best movies of the year. An immigrant family’s American dream isn’t quite an original concept as we meet such types of movies very often in Hollywood. But you cannot ignore Lee Issac Chung’s American drama film Minari as just another immigrant story, for its rich details, deep human understanding, and extraordinary acting have made it an exceptional movie. The film revolves around a family who left Korea in the early 70s and now ends up at an Arkansas farm after years of working as chicken sexers. Jacob (Steven Yeun) and Monica (Han Ye-ri) are the parents who have two American-born children- a mature girl named Anne and a precocious boy called David. As the family pulls up to the five-acre plot, Jacob is filled with new dreams and hopes while his wife isn’t entirely convinced by the disheveled look of the farmland. Inspired by Chung’s own childhood, Minari is full of powerful scenes about the struggles of a family who aim to assimilate into a new culture and achieve their own American Dream. It’s a beautiful family film that has been taken to the next level by the brilliant acting of Steven Yeun, Han Ye-ri, and Youn Yuh-jung. On the Record is the daring project of Kirby Dick and Amy Ziering that details the misogyny and sexual violence Black women face in the media.
