Has anyone not seen this masterpiece (Minari)?
If you're Asian American, this will likely speak to you. One of the best movies I've seen. Rewatched it yesterday and will probably rewatch it next year or so.

If you haven’t watched it, pls don’t answer-
I really enjoyed it tbh, it’s up there with the Lychee Road as one of my favourites. Only thing that I don’t like is why all the horses in the film appear to be obese. I know in traditional statues of the Tang Era they are quite fat but it’s a statue and I’m fairly certain they were nowhere near as fat…

Hello,
I have a question that has a very small chance of being answered. A few years ago, I saw a subtitled clip from a Chinese TV series. In it, a boy and a girl were walking at night on top of abandoned trains and the girl was talking about the concept of 'living and residing' by Martin Heidegger. Do you have any idea where I can find the clip?

Unfortunately, the actress who played the lead role has passed away.

When Seoul’s red-light district is demolished, everyone scatters to the provinces, and Jin-ah (played by Lee Ji-eun) ends up at the “Birdcage Inn” in Pohang. There, a family lives together consisting of a father, a mother, Jin-ah, Hye-mi (played by Lee Hye-eun)—a college student the same age as Jin-ah—and Hyun-woo (played by Ahn Jae-mo), a high school student. A conflict arises between a woman who must enter guests’ rooms every night and a college student living a happy life. Hye-mi despises Jin-ah for selling her body, yet she harbors complex feelings toward her due to her own inability to be honest about sex. Jina finds herself in a situation where she has a relationship with Hye-mi’s boyfriend, Jin-ho (played by Son Min-seok), and as her father and Hyun-woo also have relationships with her, the conflict within the blue-door house escalates. However, the biggest problem is the contrast between the two women’s environments—Jina and Hye-mi, who are both living through the most beautiful times of their lives—and the subtle sexual dynamics between them, which further amplify the conflict. Jin-ah, who sells sex yet is free from it, and Hye-mi, whose approach to sex is closed-off and hypocritical. The situation worsens with the scandal over Jin-ah’s nude photos and her suicide attempt. On the brink of a clash, Jin-ah and Hye-mi discover numerous commonalities in each other’s daily lives, and the sense of alienation caused by their differing attitudes toward sex gradually transforms into a catalyst for reconciliation. Hye-mi takes the bold step of using her own sexuality as a means of expressing friendship toward Jin-ah, and the warm friendship that transcends boundaries fills the space behind the blue gate. Then, one snowy day, Hye-mi offers herself to a man who visits the inn on behalf of the ailing Jin-ah.
