On this symbiotic planet, every kind of life has its own way of survival, both interconnected and independent of each other. I am reminded of the story of the Tower of Babel: people are separated by different kinds of languages, they wander in this barren world, looking for someone who can interpret them. Not being able to communicate is lonely, so people start to learn languages and characters. In this Netflix documentary, I see a wonderful connection between the recorder and an octopus - a love that is not defined, and when the octopus reaches out to the recorder, it is as if language and The tower of Babel of species is gradually crumbling, they cross life, cross the instinctive communication that the octopus hides from... Some force of nature binds them together, the soft suckers of the octopus stick to the human skin, maybe this is the human I can imagine The most gentle way to get along with animals. What is the meaning of life? This question has been analyzed and answered by countless people since ancient times, but in the end they have not been able to get a standard answer. Humans are so great standing in front of civilization, and looking up at the Milky Way is so small: we are no different from any flying insect, a flower, or a fish. But if you must find the meaning of life in this lonely planet, it should be for countless short and warm moments - you can feel that you are alive, you can be happy, and you can bring happiness to others like an octopus , to hunt, to trust, to dance freely in the water
