    My previous impression of octopuses was basically from sci-fi movies, the evil octopus monster with disgusting tentacles and suckers. After watching this documentary, my impression of octopus completely changed. I never imagined that her IQ is so high, so eccentric, and her life is so touching. Octopus is the teacher of human beings, she makes us realize that human beings are not visitors to the earth, but part of...

    Although this is just a documentary, the warmth makes people always ready to cry. A man has accompanied an octopus through almost "her" life. Although he can easily help her, he has never reached out to change her own destiny. Until she died in the end, he was considered to have completed the mission of the companion or witness. I like the last sentence very much: live fast and die young, life is as gorgeous as summer flowers, and death is as quiet and beautiful as autumn...

    1. Life on earth is fragile, we should cherish them, including ourselves, and treat them with tenderness. 2. With its tenacious vitality, octopuses show us the difficulties of making decisions against life itself. 3. In terms of the theory of evolution of life, it is the result of a small natural probability that people can become what they are now. We should not trample on the earth environment where creatures coexist for our own selfishness. You are not a visitor to this world, you are a part...

    Three and a half. The story line is well cut, and the octopus hunting and escape are so beautiful! The first physical contact between the protagonist and the octopus is also very touching (again, I sigh that ET's finger touch is a classic?). Two problems: 1. The male protagonist is too obsessed with the "she taught me blablabla" style of elementary school students, and the narration is more based on observations, in fact, there is not much thinking 2. Too much slow motion in the land part feels...

    The footage of her being dragged into a kelp forest by a shark is reminiscent of a clip from Alistair MacLeod's novel, and the footage has a brutal tenderness: "On November 28, ten miles north, my father was found. He How many times has he been thrown by the waves, smashed into the rocky cliff, and finally caught between two boulders. His hands and feet have been torn to pieces, and his shoes have long been sucked by the sea. When we want to put His shoulders, too, were out of shape in our...

My Octopus Teacher quotes

  • Craig Foster: What she taught me was to feel... that you're part of this place, not a visitor. That's a huge difference.

  • [first lines]
