The movie has a deep metaphor:

1. What the child obtains from the family: "Whatever, probably like this, entertainment to death, violence, selfishness (unscrupulous for the purpose)

In the plot, the children imitate and learn every word and even every action of the couple.

2. The distorted patterns on the TV, the books you brought back (with distorted patterns in them), and the people you met when you went out (playing games to learn to meet people) represent social channels (including schools and the publicity that the society has been broadcasting). impact), what exactly did the child gain? Think for yourself, I can't say more (in short, the distorted pattern represents the distorted thing. The author wrote it very directly)

3. Because of the first two points, in the end, the child did not become a flesh-and-blood person (...), but a cold-blooded tool (he went back to the old retired salesman to replace him)

4. I won’t say much about other details. The male protagonist’s digging behavior represents those who pursue truth and struggle with the irresistible reality, and the female protagonist represents those who have love and kindness but fall into the fog (there is a scene in the movie: the female protagonist Calling the male lead in the mist, the male lead calling out to the female lead in the sun, the two people's environmental tones are so different is a metaphor)

Hope the motherland is healthy and the people are happy! anonymous film critic
