Abstract

This research is entitled American Dream in film Minari: Representation of Korean Immigrant Family in America. This research is based on the social inequality that still occurs in this world, including in America. This research aims to analyze the value of American Dream represented in Minari film. It also aims to understand the motivation that drives the characters in Minari to pursue their dreams in America.
The researcher use a qualitative approach technique to obtain data. The researcher use Minari’s film as the main source and related journals or articles as the secondary data. In analyzing the data, researchers use two approaches, namely the sociological approach and the psychological approach. The researcher use Hofstede's cultural dimension theory and Abaraham Maslow's hierarchy of needs theory. Hofstede's cultural dimension theory analyzes the social value of American culture as the value used to achieve the American Dream, while the hierarchy of needs theory analyzes the motivation to achieve the American Dream.
Based on this analysis, Korean immigrant families achieve the American Dream by reflecting the American cultural values they fulfill, namely individualism, freedom, competition, privacy, equality, informality; future, change, and progress; humanity; time; achievement, action, work, and materialism; and directness and assertiveness. Motivation to achieve the American Dream is also revealed through Maslow's five Hierarchies of Needs, physiological needs including income and home; security needs including financial stability, family health, and security concerns; love needs including relationships within the family; self-esteem needs including recognition and confidence; self-actualization needs including developing potential to achieve success.
