Factual error: The Mahindra tractor in the film is newer than the 1980's setting. The tractor appears to be a '90's model. Mahindra tractors were not in the American market in the 1980's. Also, the "plow" used in the plowing scene was actually a "middle buster" plow. This plow would not be used at this stage or soil preparation. A turning plow would have been more accurate.
Minari (2020)
1 factual error - chronological order
Revealing mistake: The location of and distance between windows on the mobile home should stay the same, but do not. The home's exterior is constructed of vertical boards/slats, which can be used to make a rough estimate of the number (then distance). Initially, there were about 24 vertical boards between the shortest window and the window to its right (on-screen). When David and Anne were close to the house, there were a lot more boards between these windows - closer to 36+. The mobile home was "fabricated". (00:02:18)
Soonja: Minari is truly the best. It grows anywhere, like weeds. So anyone can pick and eat it. Rich or poor, anyone can enjoy it and be healthy. Minari can be put in kimchi, put in stew, put in soup. It can be medicine if you are sick. Minari is wonderful, wonderful.
