"Ecological Box" after watching

At first, "Ecological Box" felt that only two people were brought into a different dimension, but after watching the ending, I felt that it was not the case. It should be a film about aliens. Aliens grew up too much. Quick, the life cycle is short, so I came to the earth and established an "ecological box" for a man and a woman to live in this space, observe them, and learn from them. The boy who was sent is also a cloned alien, and should be the same person who started to receive them at the sales office. The film eventually grows up and the boy takes over from the salesperson who was dying before, and then put it in a body bag and label it. Rolling it up and putting it in a cabinet means they can't be Earthlings. In the middle part of the film, the boys are learning how to speak, watching them do AI, etc. As for the irregular stripes on the TV, I think it should be a way of learning about alien culture, so that they can learn how to control the "ecological box" ”, you can travel in various spaces. At the end of the film, when the heroine chases down the grown-up boy, the scene she sees in various spaces shows that they are not the only ones, but each space is different, and they can’t see each other. , As for why they live in No. 9, it may be that they are No. 9 residents. Before them, 8 pairs have lived here, but they are not in the same space and can't see each other. The filming method is very special, simple scenes, monotonous colors, no complex character relationships, and not too many special effects that science fiction films should have, but the film still tells in disguise that adults have no freedom after having children. , There are only fixed life patterns and circles. Children want to learn and grow. Parents give their children all the freedom.
