In the plot setting, Ma Chenggang and Chunlan are a rich couple, but they rack their brains to pretend to be poor, in order to let their youngest son Ma Jiye learn to endure hardships so that he can become a big man in the future.
The audience called it the parenting version of "Truman's World": the parents are suffering meaninglessly; "White lies" are wrapped in a desire for control, full of the oppression, heaviness and sacrifice of Chinese education.
When Ma Jiye found out the truth, Ma Chenggang didn't feel that he had a problem, but said angrily: "You lucky person is still wronged, and you also control our lives!" ”
Differing interpretations of the audience
The movie "Catching the Doll" sparked polarization among the audience. Audiences who like this movie are amused and lamented by the Chinese horror in it; Viewers who don't like it read the second layer of Chinese thriller: using comedy to dissolve and forgive everything, and create emotionally exploitative jokes.
The movie avoids the really heavy part of reality, there is no hardship and burden of life, and some are just the ideological imprint of "hardship can become successful". And a rich young master like Ma Jiye is undoubtedly a minority of the few.

Reality vs. Film
The plot in the movie reminds the audience of their own lives. An audience member joked: "Ma Jiye can't tell the difference between the importance of drawing on the college entrance examination paper, is it really to meet the expectations of his parents?" ”
Someone else sighed: "It's a loss to go to a sports university in the second year with such good grades, but isn't this the reality of many families?" The audience laughed at themselves and was pickled, as if they had become what they once hated, and they had become adults whose freedom could be squeezed out, and all adults who put their studies, futures, and families first, lived for the ranking of social values.
This contrast between reality and the movie makes the audience feel more heaviness in laughter. Although the film is shown in the form of a comedy, what is hidden behind it is a true portrayal of a family. Someone ridiculed on the Internet: "After watching "Catching a Doll", I feel that I am also a doll trapped in the crane machine, constantly trying to break free, but I have never been able to escape." ”
