The octopus teacher6/19/2023 I learned so much from the movie and got to witness some of the beautiful and sometimes sad things that happen in nature. This documentary is a great story of a sweet friendship and shows the incredible things that happen in the ocean. The most amazing part of the film is that it was all filmed by the man, so while he is telling the story of what happened, his own footage is playing. While her death was hard to watch because I had come to like the octopus, the film would not have shown the reality of nature if her death was not shown. ![]() In the film you see the octopus die and sharks and other creatures scavenge her body. Octopuses only live about a year, and amazingly the man caught the moments when her life came to an end. The whole time it feels like you are just two feet away from the chase.Īt the end of the movie, the man captures the true laws of nature when the octopus dies. The man follows the shark as it swims and chases after the octopus. In the film, you see a shark hunt the octopus. The man captured a scene that is hardly ever caught by humans. My Octopus Teacher is both a gorgeous wildlife documentary and a moving tale of how a man in crisis found joy and purpose through immersion in nature and a remarkable relationship with an octopus. My favorite part of the film was the shark chase. This documentary shows a human and animal’s natural relationship. This man’s experience with this animal is so different than normal usually, the only contact people have with sea life is in a controlled area where the animals aren’t wild. The man followed her as she lived her life. After a while, the octopus starts to trust him and would touch and hug him. It’s also a little crazy and doesn’t do much to hide its aggressive tugs on your heartstrings. The man comes back to the octopus’ den every day after that to visit her. My Octopus Teacher is a beautiful, moving, and reflective experience. While swimming, he sees an odd object on the ocean floor, and it turns out to be an octopus. ![]() But after watching it, a few questions come to mind: According to the story, Craig did his one years adventure with the octopus alone, while filming it. The story starts when the man is snorkeling off the coast of South Africa. The film My Octopus Teacher is advertised as a 'documentary' film. The documentary tells the story of a filmmaker who meets a wild octopus and becomes friends with it. My Octopus Teacher is a nature film, a love story and an emotional ride that any animal lover should go on and weep over (or at least nap alongside). Queen Cleopatra As Egypts last pharaoh, Cleopatra fights to protect her throne, family and legacy in this docudrama featuring reenactments and expert interviews. ![]() This documentary is so profound that I couldn’t help but think about it for a week after. I was watching it as background noise at first, but then the story became so captivating that I had to focus my full attention on it. I had nothing else to do so I decided to head over to Netflix and watch it. Recently, while I was mindlessly scrolling through TikTok, I saw a video of a girl talking about this new documentary she had watched on Netflix, titled My Octopus Teacher, and how good she thought it was.
