Comment on my octopus teacher

The movie My Octopus Teacher is very meaningful. The protagonist is a photographer in his forties. Because of the middle-aged crisis, the contradiction between career, family and children is suppressed, and the protagonist loses all motivation and interest.

? Because many years ago, when I was filming in Africa, I met a master hunter among the original inhabitants of Africa. I have also seen very powerful hunters find traces of their prey on barren land. With his concentration on nature, the master hunter can distinguish the clues of animals, leaving a very deep impression on the protagonist.

? Because I lived by the sea, I liked the heroes of the sea when I was young. Because of depression, I dive in the sea at my doorstep every day. There is a vast ocean forest deep in the sea. In the process of diving from the deep forest in the ocean every day, the protagonist found a maternal octopus, which is different from other marine animals. In the forest sand deep in the colorful ocean, there is a stone wrapped in various shells. Suddenly all the shells fell, and the stone turned into a black shadow and suddenly rushed out like an arrow.

? Since the discovery of this unusual octopus, the protagonist has been tracking the daily life of this female octopus every day. After nearly a year's tracking, he found that the octopus's IQ is similar to that of cats and dogs, and it is very smart and lovely, because the protagonist is integrated into the deep-sea forest like an African hunter, and the octopus regards him as a necessity around life. The octopus trusts him, and can crawl on his hands, on his stomach, or sleep peacefully in the cave under the gaze of the protagonist.

? There is no professional emphasis on the research media of octopus, so the protagonist studies the habits and habits of octopus himself. He goes to the sea to observe this lovely octopus every day. With its numerous tentacles and changeable body surface, octopus will turn into stones and corals in a short time, allowing the audience to see the daily life of a lovely octopus at close range and encounter danger once. The octopus was followed by a small shark, a natural enemy, which bit off its tentacles. The protagonist is worried about visiting the octopus in the cave every day. After the octopus stayed in the cave for a week without eating or drinking, the hero was ecstatic to see the octopus grow a small tentacle, and then the octopus resumed its daily life and became more wise to the fierce shark.

? One day, the hero found an official seal in the cave, and two octopus stayed in the cave to mate, without eating or drinking. The hero felt fear coming. Sure enough, the female octopus does not eat or drink, and stays in the cave to breed and lay eggs. For the sake of the next generation, the female octopus exhausted all her physical strength. After a long time, the female octopus who didn't eat or drink was attacked by other small animals outside the cave, and then she was unable to be taken away by the natural enemy shark. The protagonist can only watch sadly as the octopus is bitten by a shark and enters deeper darkness.

? What are the laws of nature? Are the strong stronger and the weak weaker? Isn't it the same for human beings? After observing and tracking the octopus for more than 300 days, after the female octopus gave her life for the next generation, the protagonist realized the dedication and reincarnation of life. The protagonist followed the octopus for more than 300 days, diving with his teenage son and telling him stories. The relationship between the hero and his son has become more harmonious, and his son likes marine life more. Moreover, the son also found a small octopus similar to the mother octopus to make friends with him. Perhaps this is the last surviving offspring of the 500,000 eggs laid by the octopus mother.

? In the sunset, the protagonist took his son in tandem to dive in the blue sea. Perhaps, there are more stories ahead for them. The female octopus's dedication to the next generation inspires the protagonist to lead her son forward forever.
