It mainly records the life of the octopus, without the ups and downs of the plot and unexpected reversals.
The process of first meeting and trying to build trust was very warm, and I thought of "Avatar".
The pictures of predation are very cleverly shot, and it feels quite difficult.
In the end, the picture of the octopus's body being taken away by a shark is very anthropomorphic, like a weak woman.
The other animals inside are also very cute.
Because they are different species, they cannot share the same language system. Humans can only try to learn and understand the life philosophy of other species by observing their lifestyles and behavior patterns.
At the same time, it may be precisely because there is no such barrier of language that the relationship that uses "feeling" to establish a connection becomes romantic.
Observing, learning, and thinking about other creatures that are different from ourselves, compared with greedily possessing it, eating it, and destroying it, is the attitude that human beings, as a more advanced species, should adopt when getting along with nature.
There are many underwater scenes and dynamic expressions of animals that are worthy of reference for animation.
Before watching it, I only knew that octopuses are ugly but delicious seafood. I didn’t expect that octopuses have high IQ, strong mimicry, and strong learning ability. They are one-time reproductive animals.
Therefore, octopuses are orphans at birth, and they learn survival skills by groping on their own. It's not a social animal either, it's a loner. Perhaps the only chance to bond with one's own kind is simply to reproduce and then die alone.
It's interesting to see what is the driving factor behind this quality, and it feels so much stronger than human beings.
The first time I watched a documentary about octopuses, it may be difficult to track and shoot, and the amount of work behind the director and photographer can be imagined.
In the behind-the-scenes footage of documentaries I've watched, there are often scenes where the cameraman and director are almost in tears when they capture a scene.
The hardships and the long wait and endurance of such shooting conditions test the enthusiasm and perseverance of the cameraman and director. At the same time, it is precisely because of enthusiasm that we can persevere and incite the audience through the pictures.
On the other hand, it is also necessary to detach from the emotional emotions in order to keep the documentary objective. There are audiences who morally condemn the cameraman for not intervening and rescuing the octopus. This idea is really one-dimensional.
