All things have spirit. Did you know that the original octopus? It is so smart, it responds quickly, it can camouflage, and it has super powers that humans don't have. A short life, but also a colorful life. I have captured many delicious marine creatures; I have been chased by sharks many times in danger; I have an indissoluble bond with human photographers. In the end, in order to breed the next generation, he sacrificed himself. In the end, he was eaten by the fish he once preyed on, and finally fell into the mouth of the shark. Seeing the death of the octopus, the photographer was very sad, and after a year of follow-up shooting, a special relationship was established. I myself feel very moved. However, it is also part of nature. In one of the scenes, the octopus was hunted by a shark. Although he hid himself under a rock, he was bitten off by a large tentacle. Fortunately, it was very deep, otherwise his life would be lost. Later, the wound was healed slowly, and small tentacles first grew, and then it took 3 months to grow almost completely. Seeing that Octopus is very weak, I also feel sorry for her. There is also the second time, in order to avoid the pursuit of sharks, it absorbs various shells and wraps itself, which is really amazing. In the end, it was a thrilling escape. The scene where octopuses play with other fish is also amazing. I think this animal is very spiritual. The physical contact with the photographer also feels very warm, and the human has established a connection with the octopus. The film finally sublimated, the photographer's son was influenced by his father, became a marine biologist, and went diving with his father. They found a small octopus, which they figured should be the octopus's child. Life goes on and on, life goes on. In addition, it is mentioned that nature has a magical healing effect on human beings, which is difficult for people who have limited contact with nature to understand. In addition, creatures in nature are actually very fragile. We should protect nature and protect the living environment of wild animals. After watching these animal-themed documentaries, I really told myself to eat less meat. In order to be nutritionally balanced, it is necessary to eat, but eat as little as possible, and the meat is just embellishment.

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.
