杨之后

The movie doesn’t really go into much detail about why there are so many Chinese orphans or how Brothers & Sisters came to be the megacorporation that it is, but it all gives you just enough of an idea to wonder. In your headcanon, what has the China of this film’s reality become, not necessarily as a state actor, but as a concept? How does it loom in people’s minds?

We don’t explore it in the film, but I think there’s a sort of glimpse in Russ’ office where you see a flash of a newspaper talking about a war that had happened. Because I’m always a little bit hesitant of putting things too much in the spotlight, I didn’t want to zoom in and suddenly distract you by making it all about that. Some of this is borrowed from the short story, but I do think that there was a war and there was a real moment in China, and the liberal people of this world feel like they needed to do something in response. There are these orphaned kids that have been the consequences of a very long conflict that’s ended, but now there is this need to help because China lost that war.
