Originally I thought it would be a cold documentary about marine animals, but I didn't expect it to be such an emotional narrative and interaction.
Octopus - this low-level soft-bodied creature we usually think of, what is the real situation?
Miss Octopus is smart and good at camouflage. She successfully avoided shark attacks twice. She is good at changing into any color and will constantly update her hunting methods. As the author said, "Her existence is composed of free thinking, feeling and exploration. ,” and even “her IQ is equivalent to that of a cat or a dog,” and she has been exploring and learning with her tentacles in her less than 400-day lifespan.
She is naughty and cute, she will play with small fish, and she likes to swim freely in the sea.
She is tenacious and great, and the tentacles bitten off by the shark will slowly grow new small tentacles. Just like the author said, "I feel that I can overcome all the difficulties in my life." At this moment, you will sincerely admire the tenacity of life. In the end, she also dedicated her entire life to her own baby, but that was "their strategy - to live a happy and short life".
What touched me most was the trust she gave to human beings. After dozens of days of tracking and shooting, the small tentacles she carefully extended to human beings and the hug she left to the author at the end of her life.
Like the little prince's rose, we have participated in her life and witnessed her countless lovely moments, so touching and unforgettable. And what she taught us, as the author puts it: "She made me realize how precious the wild world is. You go underwater and you feel at ease. All your worries, troubles and dramas in life. are gone. Gradually, you start to care about all animals. Even the tiniest creatures, you realize that every life is important...you are connected to this wild world, it is talking to you...you are Members of this place, not visitors."
Finally, let’s end with a few scenes that I like very much. The soundtrack, pictures, and emotional narrative of this documentary are so good, I really recommend everyone to watch it quietly!
