After watching this film, I feel that everything is small and great.
The greatness lies in the vivid expression of the octopus's maternal love. His life as a mother is coming to an end, as if his short life is to give birth to the next generation.
Smallness lies in the fragility of life. Facing the capture of predators and finally successfully evading predators, it became their meal.
The film is a first-person account of the extremely short but extraordinary life of this octopus. At the same time it is also lucky. Because with the help of the author, the life of this mysterious sea creature was revealed to people. Unexpectedly, the relationship between marine life and us will become as intimate and empathy with humans. I also admire the author's camera and curiosity about this creature recorded through the lens. At the end of the film, when the author saw its next generation, he couldn't help but say "there she is" as if to express his deep yearning for the octopus lady.
If it weren't for this movie, I wouldn't have gotten to know the sea creatures of the octopus up close. If I can get close contact with the creatures of these artifacts, I also want to do my bit to protect the marine environment.
