God's perspective is the correct way to open

What is an eco box? In order to observe the behavior of animals, humans have designed a complete ecological system for this animal, and put the experimental objects in it for observation.

Therefore, from the classification of the title "Ecological Box" and "Thriller", it can be roughly guessed that this movie is about humans being put into the ecological box and observed by other species.

At first, like other netizens, I thought that the "Martins" in the film were observing. They observed and imitated the behavior of human beings, and finally took up the magpie's nest and wiped out human beings. But when I saw it for the fourth time, I suddenly realized a question, who is observing this phenomenon of "dove occupying magpie's nest"? Is it "dove"? Obviously, it is not the "doves" who are observing, but humans, who are observing these two animals from the perspective of God.

Well, now back to the movie, this creature called "Martin" lives in the same space as humans. The "Martins" borrow various resources of human beings to recuperate, multiply parasites, and drain Tom and Gemma to find the next a victim. "Martin" is obviously a "dove" and humans are those "finches" that have been squeezed from the trees, so who is watching? It should be a creature that is more advanced than humans and "Martin". This kind of creature puts "Martin" into the human space and observes the interaction between humans and "Martin". This is the meaning of "ecological box".

(Maybe it's an over-interpretation, but it doesn't matter what is right or wrong.)
