A deep dissection of easter eggs and metaphors
First of all, the title "Catching the Doll" itself contains a deep meaning. Behind this seemingly relaxed game, it is actually a metaphor for people's blind pursuit and anxiety about success and achievement in modern society. Just as the rich couple in the movie do not hesitate to pretend to be poor in order to cultivate their children's independence and gratitude, this extreme education method is like putting children in a "crane machine", trying to shape their life trajectory through manipulation. However, the film teaches us that everyone has the right to choose their own path in life and pursue their dreams and happiness without being bound by outside expectations and standards.
Secondly, the experiment of "reverse raising a baby" in the movie is also a deep reflection on the current way of family education. Through deception and disguise, the wealthy couple try to let their children grow up in "pain education", but this practice ignores the real psychological needs and growth environment of the children. Through this plot, the film is a metaphor for the common problem in modern family education - parents often shape their children according to their own wishes and expectations, but ignore the child's feelings and choices as an independent individual.
