The life of an octopus

Anastasia 2022-04-19 09:02:32

Humans use a camera to record the life of a large octopus. In addition to the sighingly beautiful underwater world, every pore of the octopus can be clearly seen, as well as its predation, the trust it has built with humans, the contest with natural enemies and the end of life. Photographer Craig also sees it as a friend to visit every day, taking off his diving suit to get up close and personal with it, and in the process learn how to communicate with others and improve the father-son relationship.

It is worth noting that Craig did not get involved in the food chain during the observation. Watching it get hurt? ️ Watching it heal alone, and finally watching it being eaten by other animals... Although it is heartbreaking, it is also a true record and respect for nature. In the end, Craig's son found another very small octopus, held it in the palm of his hand, and wondered if it was the descendant of the octopus friend, which made people feel the inheritance of life.

The picture is extremely delicate and clear, and it is rare to understand the quality of underwater animals, and it also won the Oscar for Best Documentary.

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]

    Craig Foster: A lot of people say an octopus is like an alien. But the strange thing is, as you get closer to them, you realize that we're very similar in a lot of ways.
