Emm, I can feel that the team itself is really sincere and sincere. After I really dare not eat octopus, I can always feel the power of primitive life in creatures other than human beings.
But starting with a man's personal crisis and family crisis and ending with rebuilding family relationships is very anthropocentrism. The life of an octopus is his tool out of crisis. (Not that he meant it himself, just the point of view.) And from the octopus sacrificing his life for fertility, he learned to give? And then to love his son again? Where is his wife? (Maybe it's because his wife doesn't want to be in the camera, or it's a problem of perspective)
And octopuses sacrifice their own lives for fertility and are interpreted by humans as maternal love and dedication, um... From a biological point of view, isn't it the primitive nature of creatures, don't be blind to the values defined by humans themselves.
In addition, the narration of the entire documentary repeatedly emphasizes the connection between the octopus and him, how he observes the octopus, which is quite selfish and wishful thinking. After reading it, there is a feeling of white people traveling to the East in the 20th century.
But marine life is really amazing. The big difference from terrestrial life is that the medium through which everyone is connected is not the air that cannot be touched and smelled, but the flowing water. The body brought by this accessible fluidity Feeling and connecting with each other will be very "decentralized".
Also, think carefully about why he can have such an emotional connection with the octopus, and be a little less charming, because of the novelty and unfamiliarity and 0 expectations, you will not get disappointment from the other party, it is all gain. The person you communicate with without "language" will never betray you.
