Five stars for marine scientists. When I was a child, I liked creatures very much. I caught grasshoppers in the countryside, caught frogs, fished lobsters, and observed ants. I have always been curious about the animal world. The ocean is even more desirable, and the story of the ocean is vividly told in various documentaries, photography, and movies. Swimming is also a very favorite sport, but I can hardly swim in nature, and several times swimming by the river is also in the shallow water area with many people. If I don't live by the sea, I have too few opportunities to get in touch with the sea. My rare memory is catching crabs at low tide and swimming on the coast of Yunnan. I feel how clean and lively the sea is. This work is very wonderful. It breaks the dominating relationship between humans and animals, and finds a balance between objectivity and show. Building trust with sea creatures is amazing, I've since found trust with the goldfish at home, they seem to ignore my presence, but every time I get close, they get scared and run away. Witnessing the journey of life is amazing. The film fully demonstrates her wisdom. From hunting, injury, reproduction to higher-level play, various unique life experiences in her gorgeous and short life are presented rhythmically, and the whole film presents a quiet temperament.

Learning in nature is even more amazing. Meticulous observation of the kelp forest over a year-long period, mapping from the life of an octopus to its own. Nature is the best teacher, an octopus can teach people so much. Children should learn best with nature, not just in the classroom.

As for the shortcomings, there may be too many editing components. Although the scenes are as rich as possible, they are not raw enough. Of course, this should not be considered, after all, only one person does it himself.

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.
