This is a documentary with a story. Not as colorful and colorful as other ocean documentaries, but this is a very touching story documentary. I was deeply moved by that scene after another. She also has feelings and thoughts. When the protagonist appears with the octopus every day, she extends the "hand" of trust to the protagonist to accept him. However, after the protagonist frightened her away due to the falling of the camera, she continued to look for her, and trust came again; when she was attacked by the nightgown shark, the protagonist watched her bitten off by not interfering with the survival of the other world. Only "hands", the protagonist is very uncomfortable, and I don't know if I don't interfere with this kind of behavior, okay? I am uncomfortable! Fortunately, in the slow cultivation, new ones have grown! Later, when she knew it was almost time, she ran to the protagonist to say goodbye to him for the last time, I cried, she was just like a partner of mine... In the end, she put all her energy Dedicated to her children and dedicated herself to the other creatures of the sea! The shock it gave me was beyond words to describe, and it was brought to me by nature. It is dedication and reincarnation. At the end of the film, the protagonist encounters a very small octopus in that place, which is really comforting. Is that her child? Must be!

Strongly recommend to see it!

    Octopus is very cute, but the filming is more hypocritical (referring to a lot of slow motion and narration style, etc.)

    After watching it, you can feel that people and octopuses can establish a true relationship, and people can’t.

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.
