Paste's best movies of the year: eli_gonzalez11 on the beautiful mundanity of After Yang's low-key sci-fi
When we think of how cinema portrays the future, certain vivid images come to mind. Obsidian pyramids, intrusive ads and hovercars amidst’s twinkling, smog-filled cityscape; a sea of human skulls crushed under the tire treads of a Skynet death machine; rows of identical essence-stealing pods that greet Neo as he awakens from the dream he called a life.
One day, something happens to Yang, and after behaving strangely, we see the young man draped over Jake’s shoulder. Jake and his wife Kyra have a jarring conversation about warranties and getting Yang “repaired,” implying he is actually an artificially created person. Unlike many stories that feature an audience insert character to outline precisely what’s going on, we’re instead whisked into the ongoing chore of getting Yang serviced.
However, even if he’s no longer physically present, the android has one last gift to give his family: His memories. In one of the film’s few excesses, Jake puts on a pair of virtual reality glasses and is thrust into a galaxy of shimmering golden orbs, each representing a recollection.
