Personally, I feel that this short film is alluding to capitalism. Why do you say this? In fact, if you look closely at the entire balance process, it is really in line with the development of capitalist society, and it also exposes the core problems of capitalism.
In the beginning, everyone had nothing (the budding stage of capitalism), then everyone took out the fishing rod (the most basic labor tools, such as their own hands or simple instruments of the Iron Age) from their clothes, and started fishing (starting to create wealth) .
One person fishes a box (discovered a new technology, but doesn't know how to use it), and then the boxes start to take turns (everyone starts to study how this technology can bring economic benefits), until after many rounds, Everyone finally knows how to use this box (it seems to be a music box in the film, in fact, it alludes to this technology starting to be put into production to create value). At this time, because of the new productive forces or the creation of valuable things, a capitalist society has basically formed, but it is still in its infancy. Everyone has just discovered the benefits that this technology can bring, and there are not many other ideas.
At this time, a few smart and nimble people gradually started to make changes. They just need to stand back or stand forward. Everyone else has to change positions for balance, and then they can enjoy the music box by themselves. . Although competition has arisen, it is not yet intense. Everyone packed up their fishing rods (without the incentive to discover new technologies) and started using clever tricks to get that box (wealth or advanced productivity that creates wealth). At this time, the capitalist society began to enter a stage of great development, the competition was not too fierce, and everyone could enjoy a little music (the benefits brought by advanced productive forces).
However, the competition began to heat up, and by imitating what others did, everyone knew how to get the boxes, and they kept moving, breaking the balance, and even clashing. One person slaps the other with a big slap in the face (this may be a local skirmish) in order to grab a box with another person. At this time, capitalist society has entered a mature stage, and the competition is fierce, but it is not yet to the level of large-scale war or life-and-death
The previous conflict was a fuse, arousing everyone's desire and fighting spirit. Circumstances begin to change drastically (people in a capitalist society start to fight for resources) until someone falls (lost in competition, mercilessly eliminated). As the struggle intensified and the environment changed dramatically, people kept falling. At this time, capitalist social contradictions intensified and began to ruthlessly devour life.
Until a real big capitalist appeared (the one who sat on the box at the end), kept moving through the box and himself, and finally succeeded in knocking all the competitors out of the ring (big capitalists made waves in the international financial market, using With the capital in hand, the big fish eats the small fish and destroys other competitors until only oneself becomes a monopoly capitalist). The big capitalists are very clever, upset the balance easily, and mercilessly slaughter everyone else. At this time, it is the ultimate carnival of capitalist society. Big capitalists forcefully attack the financial market, relying on powerful capital to defeat all opponents.
But what he didn't expect is that when there are no other opponents, the box has no meaning, and he can't get that box, because the balance is broken, and no one continues to produce to maintain the balance (the leeks are cut off. , no one produced). The whole structure of society collapsed. Then, he was dumbfounded, and could only watch the wealth stay silently on the other side. Capitalist society finally collapsed and became a one-man game!
