Mofeeshirt – Never Underestimate An Old Man Who Loves Motorcycles And Video Games Shirt
Of the five main characters, Monica struggles the most with life in Arkansas. “Jacob found his dream in America. Monica didn’t have a dream; she simply came with him because of love,” Han says. She drew from stories of immigrant wives in the ’70s and ’80s, particularly of Korean women who left their own families behind, never to rejoin them, and were expected to be subsumed by their husbands’ families. The character initially existed only as loose brushstrokes in Chung’s script. But with Chung’s encouragement, Han fleshed out the role into something powerful yet restrained, calling upon the shape of her mother, her aunt, and her grandmother. “She is so talented and honest, and was able to communicate the depth, resilience, and power of Monica,” says Yeun. “She was always truthful as an actor, and I had ultimate trust in her.” The film, which is based partially on Chung’s life growing up on a farm in Arkansas, took home both the U.S. Dramatic Grand Jury Prize and the U.S. Dramatic Audience Award at the 2020 Sundance Film Festival. But it was Chung’s father’s appreciation of her performance that stuck with Han. “That was the most meaningful,” she says.
