neutral · AI labelView post →There is actually a pretty interesting movie looking at the ethical pitfalls of AI child rearing, for the kids, the parents and the robot caretakers, called After Yang
neutral · AI labelView post →i watched After Yang last night 1. loved it. just a really sweet soft melancholy movie that got swallowed up by covid 2. instantly one of my favorite title sequences in the history of film youtu.be/dRGU2J8BfvA?...
positive · AI labelView post →This is actually part of the plot of the incredibly beautiful & luminous movie "After Yang" (which I would highly recommend.) But irl, yes, this is exactly part of the problem.
neutral · AI labelView post →Sad to say I don't give a fuck about the newest Kogonada movie, and I've been a Kogonada lover since his video essay days. I loved Columbus and After Yang but maybe it's my Margot Robbie fatigue.
negative · AI labelView post →I’m very excited to share my first academic publication with my film and academic mutuals. My essay, “After Yang, Comes Asian Futurity” is now in the latest issue of Ampersand! Special thanks to @betsywal.bsky.social for feedback. sites.bu.edu/ampersandjou...

neutral · AI labelView post →A great week for films. After Yang was amazing and Aisha kind of made me angry as it hits hard. Not on this list as it was a big film week were Black Panther and Rye Lane. Both good but I loved Rye Lane. #letterboxd #lastfourwatched

neutral · AI labelView post →"Arco" *wrecked* us. If you dig the hope-punk of "Nausicaä", the heartbreak of "After Yang", the We Can DO This! tenacity of "Interstellar"... At our screening: 50% Asian (!); a discussion group on climate change etc broke out as the credits started. Spouse: "I'm not crying! You're crying."

positive · AI labelView post →just finished After Yang (2022). wow, what a beautiful film. shot with such care and stillness. no close-ups force-feeding fetishised technology in a world so far flung in the future, each scene breathes with all the feeling it's meant to convey. if you haven't seen it, please give it a try #FilmSky

Not sure yet, I'll have to re-watch Decision to Leave, The Man Who Wasn't There, Nope, After Yang, and EEAAO, then see Mickey17 again, to be sure. Clever, incisive, funny, heartwarming, and timely. @kermodeandmayo.bsky.social
neutral · AI labelView post →I just watched the movie After Yang. It has me thinking about memories now and connection. I loved it. It did leave me wanting more as it touched upon identity and clones and being a machine. What does it mean to be human and come from a culture? How do you define those things.

neutral · AI labelView post →if you enjoyed AFTER YANG, I encourage you to check out Kogonada's first feature, COLUMBUS. It's a 10 out of 10 movie. I can't say enough good things about it 📽️ www.kanopy.com/en/cuyahogal...
neutral · AI labelView post →Judging by the average rating, I like A Big Bold Beautiful Journey more than most people. I think I'm kind of a sucker for some of the plot elements, plus it was gorgeous to look at. I like Colin Farrell in subdued mode. He's even better in director Kogonada's last film, After Yang.
neutral · AI labelView post →i’ve watched a lot more movies too. granted a lot of them were mediocre or bad, but there have been some greats in there too (most notably POALOF, now my favorite movie of all time, but also Stalker, Monkey Man, After Yang, Conclave, Bound, A Girl Walks Home Alone at Night…)
neutral · AI labelView post →I have looked up a director after watching a tv episode exactly once, and it was Kogonada's episode of The Acolyte. I just found After Yang on Kanopy, am 6 minutes in, and the opening credits are playing over an incredible family dance-off sequence. I am 100% in for wherever this film goes.
neutral · AI labelView post →Superman 2025 is therapy. Probably the most uplifting film I've seen since Paddington 2, After Yang, or maybe Barbie. It'll call on your shit, your inaction, it'll fill you with hope and optimism and a drive to be kinder and more compassionate to stop your inaction. It'll make you F E E L .
neutral · AI labelView post →8. After Yang is probably the most underrated film of the last five years
positive · AI labelView post →Iron Claw i feel like I'm not sure if it's up your alley... just like a really really sad movie that I really connected with After Yang also incredibly sad, but, uh, more poetic in a way I guess? I'd predict you'd like it more than Iron Claw i think

neutral · AI labelView post →#letterboxdfriday #lastfourwatched I’m starting to reach certain levels of psychotic with AFTER YANG. I love rewatching that movie.
positive · AI labelView post →Watching After Yang This film could kill babies and I'd still love it after that opening credit sequence
positive · AI labelView post →The Criterion Channel has a great new AI collection. There are several I have not seen, like JOHNNY MNEMONIC and AFTER YANG. But it's gonna be hard not to rewatch HER and A.I. ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE (which I think may be among Spielberg's undersung masterpieces). #film
neutral · AI labelView post →I'm always happy to see someone mention AFTER YANG. Such a great movie I probably would have missed if Colin wasn't in it. And on a private life note, anyone who can watch him with (or even just talk about) his son and not see the beauty there has a hole where their heart should be.

neutral · AI labelView post →I’ve got a code here ⬇️ for a digital copy of After Yang if anyone wants it. Love this movie. Please let me know when someone redeems it.
positive · AI labelView post →After Yang not a perfect movie but the reveal stirred something so visceral in me. Just absolutely rocked me for its real life parallels
neutral · AI labelView post →The movie that I've thought about the most after watching it from 2025 was A Big Bold Beautiful Journey by Kogonada. He made After Yang, a movie I love very much, and Columbus, which is really good as well.
positive · AI labelView post →Holy shit, that's it. After Yang is an awesome movie but...it's also hits hard. You will have the emotions.
positive · AI labelView post →A BIG BOLD BEAUTIFUL JOURNEY is not the worst film of the year, but given how much I loved AFTER YANG, it might be the biggest disappointment. #filmsky chrisicisms.substack.com/p/big-bold-b...
negative · AI labelView post →When I saw the trailer I thought it looked like a Kogonada movie and then I thought “naaaah, couldn’t be” and I just realized it is. So I’m there and it’s gonna be great if After Yang is any indication.
positive · AI labelView post →After Yang 2021 Slow, reflective, and poetic near-future sci-fi with a little fun thrown in. #filmsky #movies #film #cinema
positive · AI labelView post →He’s a brilliant actor. Have you ever seen a film called After Yang? Graceful, subtle performance. Rare.
neutral · AI labelView post →Oh my gosh, that is so fresh. If you absolutely have to go back, is there a way to make it a "light" day for yourself? After 2024's spring break, I was terribly sick with COVID while my school was reeling from a horrible tragedy. Ended up showing my students the lovely movie on grief, After Yang.
neutral · AI labelView post →Watched After Yang tonight and it was fantastic. boxd.it/8RHlQ5
positive · AI labelView post →I watched the movie After Yang for the first time a week or two ago and immediately rewatched it the next day with Jake. It’s incredible, probably my favorite movie I’ve seen this year.
positive · AI labelView post →I have no earthly idea why I waited this long to watch After Yang…what a beautiful film about loss, memory, and family dynamics.
positive · AI labelView post →After Yang, a film by Kogonada one of the most visually and emotionally lush films I've seen in quite a while. agree w/ one reviewer that there are flecks of PK Dick here
positive · AI labelView post →Just watched “After Yang” (2021), maybe the saddest hard scifi film?
neutral · AI labelView post →Finally watched After Yang & thought it was really lovely. Missed this one in 2021. Feel like I haven’t seen anybody talk about it at all. Quiet character driven sci-fi in a way I don’t think I’ve seen done since 2013’s Her. Check it out!
positive · AI labelView post →www.imdb.com/title/tt8633... After Yang (dir. Kogonada, 2021) A very nice little A24 film with Colin Farrell. The direction is great. The camera work is exceptional, worth watching only because of that. 7/10

neutral · AI labelView post →New fan of director #Kogonada. Just watched his first film, #Columbus. (He also directed #AfterYang and some episodes of #Pachinko.) The characters talk about their love (or lack of it) for architecture, and share different ways of looking/seeing that are reflected in the film’s quiet, often repeated shots. Lovely. #Cinemastodon
