Perhaps the parent-child relationship reflected in the short film is too similar to mine and my mother's, but I actually understood the film easily. Bao Bao Bao is not a fantasy of an empty-nest old man, but a reflection of his son. The story between mother and Bao Bao Bao has really happened - the mother is a housewife, and her energy is almost entirely devoted to her son. They once had a close relationship. Eternal time. But as his son grew older, he began to yearn for the wider world and the company of his peers, and his mother's desire to control and protect her son limited him. Conflicts began to break out. The son became increasingly rebellious and tried to break away from the mother's control. The mother kept demanding attention and love from the son to prove that her control over the son was effective. Eventually, the mother-son relationship broke down completely. The only difference is that in reality, the son successfully left the mother, and the mother must be angry that she has completely lost her son's love and control, and she can't wait to destroy him. So in the dream, the mother eats the son's baby mapper - after eating the baby, she is painful and remorseful, and then she realizes what kind of person her desire for control has made her. In the end, the mother and son reached a reconciliation because of their love for each other
(Although I think this ending is really too old-fashioned, it is like a bowl of old chicken soup that has been boiled for hundreds of years, but it can still be used as a patch for a family carnival animation)
