After Yang

After Yang is a thought-provoking science-fiction movie that delves into the near-future world where artificial intelligence (AI) has become an integral part of daily life. Directed by Kogonada, this captivating film was released in 2021 and features an incredible ensemble cast.

The story centers around a diverse family dealing with the aftermath of losing their AI companion, Yang. The parents, father Alexander (played by Colin Farrell) and mother Marissa (portrayed by Jodie Turner-Smith), are left to navigate their complicated emotions while trying to explain the loss to their young daughter, little Mika (played by Malea Emma Tjandrawidjaja). Colin Farrell, known for his versatile acting skills, delivers a powerful performance, depicting a father grappling with grief and existential questions.

This emotional journey takes place in a world not too dissimilar from our own. AI technology has advanced to the point where androids are an essential part of people's lives, assisting with everyday tasks and offering companionship. Yang, the family's former AI companion, was responsible for caring for Mika, and his absence leaves a profound void.

As the family struggles to cope, they encounter Paul (portrayed by Justin H. Min), a strange and mysterious man with a complicated past involving AI technology. Despite his initially enigmatic nature, Paul becomes an unexpected source of support and guidance for Alexander and Marissa. Justin H. Min's nuanced portrayal adds depth to this enigmatic character, blurring the boundaries between human and AI.

After Yang explores various themes, including the nature of grief, human connection, and the ethical challenges posed by advanced AI. Through the poignant storytelling, Kogonada raises thought-provoking questions about the role of technology in our lives and the potential consequences of relying too heavily on AI companionship.

The film is beautifully shot, with Kogonada's meticulous attention to detail visually immersing the audience into this not-so-distant future. From the neon-lit cityscape to the intimate family moments, the cinematography captures the emotional weight of the story perfectly.

The score, composed by Ryuichi Sakamoto, enhances the atmosphere, evoking a sense of longing and melancholy. Sakamoto skillfully combines electronic and orchestral elements, creating a hauntingly beautiful soundtrack that complements the film's exploration of humanity and its reliance on technology. You can play and download these mesmerizing sounds here.

After Yang is a must-watch for sci-fi enthusiasts who enjoy introspective and thought-provoking movies. Its hauntingly beautiful portrayal of grief, humanity, and the complex relationship between humans and AI will leave a lasting impact. As technology continues to advance, this film serves as a reminder to reflect on the implications of our technological choices and the emotional consequences that may arise.

So, grab a seat, immerse yourself in this captivating world, and allow After Yang to transport you into a future that is closer than we may think. You won't want to miss this cinematic experience that combines riveting performances, stunning visuals, and a profound exploration of what it means to be human in an age of artificial intelligence.

A core malfunction, unfortunately, so...
A couple times. At your place.
A family.
About the man searching for tea.
ADA: Hi, we're here to help Emma Davidson.
ADA: Mika...
ADA: Not to me.
ADA: She was my great aunt.
ADA: Slowly bring it down.
ADA: So Yang knew her?
Ada. Well, come in, please.
After Yang shut down, and Russ broke in...
Ah!
Ah. Sorry, I... I don't carry tea crystals.
All right, thank you.
All right. (SIGHS) I need to go.

Also, I was wondering,
Also, per our agreement,
Also, the ancient Chinese philosopher Lao Tzu once said,
An invaluable contribution to this museum
An older sibling for Chinese adoptions.
And decide what you want to do next.
And get her ready for the day.
And he paints his face for sporting events.
And he'd only been in use for five days. Five days.
And he's not doing so well right now. Health wise.
And his German friend,
And I thought she'd want to know.
And if I can speak to the manager, that would be great.
And it should tell you if it's corrupt or not.
And it was about this man
And just to the whole understanding
And my neighbor recommended Russ
And no, you're not.
And not just in raising her,
And not just to us.
And since they're used
And steal the originals.
And then she started screaming at everyone.
And they let us make an exchange.
And they said, "No, your real parents."
And we can't afford it anyway.
And we walk quietly to the kitchen.
And we'd all miss him terribly,
And we'd salvage the remaining parts for ya.
And we're gonna restore Yang as best we can.
And what did you say?
And you don't know her name.
And you mixed them all together?
And, uh, all 12 parts were in working order,
And, you know, I've got a busy few weeks coming up, so...
And, you know, we didn't know anything about her.
And... he's our...

But do you know what happened to that shop?
But his existence,
But I always helped.
But I don't know if the store is even there anymore.
But I'd be happy to pass on a message.
But it should help with his preservation.
But it's not why I became interested.
But look, you're connected to Mom and Dad,
But no technos?
But she worked here.
But the research was uncovered,
But we might have to compete in the family of threes.
But we would have to send the core to, uh,
But we've been over reliant on him.
But you should know that both trees are important.
But you've never met her.
But, yeah, we started talking, and...
But...
By a specialist.
Bye. Say bye to Yang.
Can I ask how you met?
Can I go now?
Can I see what's on here?
Can I tell you something?
Can I... Sorry. Can I?
Can we go?
Can't sleep.

He always talks about you.
He approached you?
He did question if he was Chinese.
He does a lot more than that, but you're missing the point.
He found you.
He likes you, and he's being really helpful.
He loves that old camera.
He loves that old camera.
He loves that old camera.
He never told you?
He says, "There's no language for it.
He seemed despondent. Broken.
He told me there was a rush of customers
He used to buy things all the time, which,
He was a regular customer.
He was dedicated to his little sister.
He was new. I mean, practically.
He would have his own area.
He... He shut down last night. Won't restart.
He'd ask that all the time.
He'd want me to show my Pup Pup.

HOST: (OVER SPEAKER) Welcome, families of four,
How about you?
How can you be a tea shop and not carry tea crystals?
How much do I owe you?
How's the ramen?
How's Yang?
However, the readout did indicate that there was
Humans are programmed
I am.
I appreciate you taking the day off.
I assume he was on when you bought him in a sleep state?
I bet they took him.
I can keep him hooked up on the simulator
I can't believe they finally got him.
I can't believe they let you back here.
I did a search. I can't find them anywhere.
I do.
I don't know if it's really in our best interest.
I don't know if that's the question for me.
I don't know, but Yang knew her.
I don't know.
I don't know.
I don't know. I...
I don't think so.
I don't want to go to school. I want to be with Yang.
I don't want to regret.
I don't want to talk about this again.
I don't want Yang to be on display in the museum.
I feel like...
I guess I'll take Yang back.
I guess I've acquired a taste for tea.
I have no idea.
I have this.
I have to get ready for my presentation. We'll talk.
I have to go and get Mika.
I just want to find her.
I just want us to be a team.
I just wanted to hear your voice.
I just... I've never had the...
I knew something was wrong.
I know Yang loves being a part of this family.
I know, love.
I know.
I know. Yang will be here.
I like getting my own water.
I like that.
I like that. (LAUGHS)
I like watching the way you make tea.
I mean, did he ever... want to be human?
I mean, I'm not gonna...
I mean, she's just... (MIMICS BALL WHOOSHING)
I mean, they're our parents, but...
I mean, this is...
I need to go.
I need your permission to break open the core.
I purchased a...
I said we were getting a second opinion.
I say, (WHISPERS) "Gege, I want to get some water."
I see.
I see.
I should get that.
I think it was his searching that compelled me.
I think this would...
I think what I was really drawn to
I think what I was really drawn to
I told you we should've just bought a new one.
I usually just say, (WHISPERS) "Gege."
I want a fish.
I want gege back!
I want him back, too.
I want to be
I want to be just like a melody
I want to see him.
I was looking for Max Walker, but they mentioned...
I was told Max might be able to help me with it.
I was wondering if you'd ever seen her around the house.
I wasn't gonna drag her inside.
I will.
I will. I promise.
I wish Chinese tea wasn't just about facts for me.
I wish he would have told me about her. Us.
I wish I felt something deeper about tea.
I wish I had a real memory of tea in China.
I would like to watch this movie.
I wouldn't be surprised
I wouldn't take him back to Brothers & Sisters.
I... I didn't know that bots, uh...
I... Who is she?
I'd like to believe that.
I'll tell you what.
I'm Ada.
I'm fine if there's nothing in the end.
I'm getting some water.
I'm going to send you his info.
I'm gonna bring you a surprise.
I'm gonna need you to order something.
I'm Jake.
I'm just being honest with you.
I'm looking for your crystallized teas.
I'm not programmed to believe in that way.
I'm not sure if I can taste the forest.
I'm not sure.
I'm not sure. You know, it's... it's complicated.
I'm not taking him there.
I'm pretty sure it's a memory bank.
I'm sorry, there's a line.
I'm sorry, you were saying
I'm sorry.
I'm sorry.
I'm sure everyone misses him a lot.
I'm sure I can make you something close to it.
I'm sure.
I'm taking care of Yang.
I'm, uh, having a part examined.
I'm... I'm really sorry, it's...
I've dedicated my life to understanding techno sapiens.
If I can't figure it out.
If it's something bad, disturbing, (CHUCKLES)
If it's the regulator, then Russ is right.
If Russ is trying to replace parts
If we can't fix Yang,
If we can't get Yang fixed, we just...

Oh, I need to go.
Oh, I'll have a double espresso.
