My Octopus Teacher | Official Trailer | Netflix
/ netflix - Zábava
I never imagined in my entire life that I would cry for an octopus! 😭
Same here! Oh Gosh!!! It was an amazing documentary indeed
HAhahaha me too mate, nothing to be ashamed of though 🤙
Assassination Classroom fan: first time?
I did. I cry when ANY animal is hurt or dies. 😥
Same I wanted to cry
This is the kind of movies that the world should be watching to make us kinder and gentler.
So true
Yes they should play it in schools
Exactly. We hunt and eat this beautiful creatures. There are even CZcamsrs who eat them while it's still alive on video.
@@333houseoflight no they shouldn't
The best comment here ! Thanx
It won an Oscar! I’m so happy. I watched this on a whim and cried hard. Sob cried. Wow. Such a touching documentary.
Most I’ve ever cried in a movie ever. I was literally sobbing for the last hour.
And now we need a Photo of the lovely winner with her Oscar. An Underwater one. 8 arms swaddling her well-earned award.
ikr. it’s such a good documentary to watch. i’m happy and sad at the same time. gosh
@@Hugo411 awe man, you sent me from crying to bawling ugly cry with that comment!
Yup cried like baby for that poor beautiful octopus….
This is the most beautiful and soul-stirring thing I’ve watched on a screen. That moment… when the octopus stopped playing with the fish and dashed to give Craig a hug. She knew it would be mating season soon and what that meant. Absolutely beautiful, sad, heart-warming, all at once.
Your comment reminded me of that moment and I literally started crying. I’m so fortunate to carry that image with me.
I haven't felt so full of love yet so sad in my entire life. Just beautiful !
It’s crazy how intelligent they are and self aware and loving I’m now a huge fan of octopus what an amazing creature
Excuse me, what does that mean?, that mating season was coming and she knew what it meant.
@Konstantin 'human traits' are still in their infancy when it comes to perceiving the world and universe at large
Too many people in the world behave like lesser animals -- saying animals are like people would actually be quite the insult to an animal 😂
Before I watched this, I was a fisherman who kept keeping fish for food. I was the kid who sat at home all day, even though I live right on the Connecticut coast, one of the most beautiful spots in America, yet I didn’t take advantage of it. After seeing this, my life has been forever changed. I sold all of my fishing gear, immediately signed up for any available scuba registration time available, and since then I have been exploring the wild every day since then. It stinks that even though we are the most intelligent creatures on earth, we don’t do anything to make sure we get better. Our world is dying and we don’t do anything about it. These creatures lay down their lives so others can live. I have seen over 1000 films in my whole life. This is by far my #1. I hope every single person sees this film so they can realize how precious life is.
I so feel you. This changed also something in me too. After watching it, I just can't eat meat anymore, any kind of. Art has the power of change oneself. Hugs!
Seafood is the first “food” I stopped eating before becoming fully vegan. Watching this reinforces my vegan status. They deserve life as much as humans. We don’t have the right to take it away from them. The only way I’d say you have a solid reason for eating animals is if ur living in the jungle or desert.
I can relate very much. I must have had the same reaction. I would also consider myself a movie fan, not even particularly documentaries. This film has been the most insightful life echoing masterpiece I've ever seen. speaking to an underlying understanding, emotionally and rationally. A lot of things make so much sense and it speaks on very deep layers of our existence. It's incredibly moving.
Nice story bro
Wow ur are amazing
Me and my friend got drunk and decided to watch this and we both cried like little babies
Me too!!!!! Ive just told my friend on facebook to watch it and i said have the tissues ready!
my friend and I. just because you have a drinking problem doesn't mean you need be stupid.
@@tj-kv6vr Get your letter case right numbnuts.
@@tj-kv6vr You understood him though right, or are you as stupid as your statement was superfluous?
@@tj-kv6vr just because you have an anger problem doesn't mean you need to air it
This is what the world needs. This is a man telling us a story that he actually lived through, which is magnificent. He shows us nature like we have never seen before. This is a story of two living beings that crossed their paths and made amazing memories. This is the definition of beautiful.
You are one lucky man.
Beautiful to let a friend being mutilated then eaten alive by scavengers and making a film about it? You guys are nuts.
@@I_Steal_Lie_And_Murder that man did not care when he watched his “friend” getting eaten
I knew that the Octopus was smart but damn, that guy put it to another level. Beautiful nature, just forgive us
Going vegan helps with the personal guilt, although it opens your eyes to just how bad we are.
Beautiful nature, just forgive us.
@@nottoberemembered yeah. When I was Vegan I felt more miserable. I am too weak
One of the best nature documentaries I have ever seen. Absolutely beautiful and wonderfully narrated and educational--tremendous with its scientific breakthroughs on these amazing creature's behavior and intelligence. Loved when Craig first made contact and she gently reached out and touched his face. I'm not ashamed to say that I teared up a few times just being in awe of how incredible and special the interaction he had with her. I do believe that you now have 500,000 new potential friends waiting there for you in the misty kelp forest and that was one of her children you met. I've been very interested in octopuses and also like the Octolab TV channel, which I also highly recommend. Keep doing what you do Craig, the world needs people like yourself!
I also cried a few times throughout this documentary. Right around the middle when she first "lies down" on his chest hit me hard. Also, the shapes she makes, and the different ways she swims are unbelievably gorgeous.
Hey Rob! Thanks for sharing your thoughts about this amazing documentary. For me it was a beautiful experience to see the deep connection and love that raised from this encounter. Good to know someone else felt like me. Cheers!
I felt the same, this is so powerful and so perfectly constructed. Simply beautiful
This! 100
It is a brilliant documentary and makes one realize we are much closer to these species than one would think.
I watched this documentary last night and haven't stopped thinking about it since. It's truly an extraordinary film. The story telling and footage are phenomenal. As an Italian, Octopus is a common food. I will never be able to eat Octopus again.
same here
Same. Cheers from Greece
We're Greek and my husband said the same thing about not being able to eat octopus again :)
I felt exactly the same too!! Such a beautiful doc!
I already stopped a few years ago.
This is one of the best things I've ever seen in my life. 90 mins of pure knowledge, education, love, care and emotions. Thank you Craig for making this wonderful documentary. "What she taught me was to feel that you're a part of this place, not a visitor". One of the strongest lines I felt through my whole body. Beautiful cinematography, beautiful narration and beautiful octopus. Thank you.
More like she taught that he has 0 empathy towards others. The octopus trusted him thats why it didnt try to fight back so hard on first shark encounter and he betrayed her trust by just standing there and watching her almost dying. Thats what was only thing heartbreaking
@@scoper7897 wow amazing insight. that's amazing that you were able to extract the octopus' exact thoughts in that the swimmer was going to help her fend off the sharks. him repeatedly helping his friend would surely not cause the octopus to become dependent on him and cause more problems for her long term. totally
@@fluffyfeather39 ur animal hater. U prob eat octopus
Our Octopus, she have won an Oscar!!!
Well she deserves more and heaven.
The film did win the Oscar for best documentary. 👏
@Juan Álvarez B you are the worst
@Juan Álvarez B She deserves more than you because she has a heart!
@Juan Álvarez B yes
@@flowerfleur8105 3 hearts to be exact
I usually never cry but I cried 3 times over the course of this beautiful documentary. It's been 20 minutes after I finished watching and I'm typing with teary eyes. Thank you Craig Foster and thank you Octopus.
Meeee too.
Wtf Im gonna watch it tomorrow
Why everybody cry?
It moved me just as powerfully!! It still haunts my mind 1 day later and seeing this trailer makes want to watch it again but I really don't feel like crying again right now. Something about it moves the soul. 🐠🐙💝🦭
Thank you Craig Foster. Your storytelling
is as amazingly tender as your relationship with her became. So many touching moments. No dry eyes here!
He dived in the freezing Atlantic off Cape Town's west side, without a wetsuit. So as to be "at one" with the ocean. Respect!!
I don't know what the issue is to be honest. I swam in the ocean when I was living in Cape Town no problem with just my shorts. But then, I also swim in the Atlantic here in Nova Scotia in the summer and it is ice cold.
You get used to it, been doing it most days since Jan, your body adapts.
Honestly, as a cape town resident, we swim in the sea regularly with just shorts, so really no big deal, and i stay on the Atlantic side as well
@@Del-Canada what an amazing human being you are :). when is your video coming out? lol
@@secondaccount6716 I'm pretty amazing.
I cannot believe how many people have been touched in their very core, cried like they haven't cried in a long time. Getting reconnected to nature, opening the heart to the beauty and the love out there seems the path towards healing. This movie is worth hundred oscars.
If you haven't already seen this absolute gem just watch it right now. The octopus is the star but watching one of our own being respectful and sensitive and kind is quite mind blowing as well.
Just finished watching it. More than wonderful! Extraordinary. Cried so much!
@Konstantin Dahlin You find humans globally kind, respectful and sensitive? Where do you live? I want to move where you are :) Have a nice day
"Oh God he's back again."
- the octopus
Spoiler alert he did not get her murdered tho
Finally, I’ve been looking for a comment pointing out how the octopus just wants to be left alone.
@Dorian Gray Bruh it’s the circle of life. Animals get eaten like that it’s like if you developed an attachment to a fish and then this octopus ate it’s just the food chain, anyway what was he meant to do to the shark? Like if he tried attacking the shark he would’ve gotten seriously hurt
@Dorian Gray are you crazy? The octopus didn’t die for that. And it completed it’s life cycle.
@Dorian Gray well somebody has good taste in literature 🥺
I had to lie down after watching this movie. It took it out of me. Gorgeous, transcendent ... and terrifying at what we are losing every minute of the day.
life is slipping away ....
I was already lying on the sofa but cried myself to sleep. Heartbreaking.
I'm glad I'm not the only one who was profoundly moved and my soul was stirring watching this extraordinary documentary. I cried so hard, so many times. Very powerful film!!🐙💖🐠🦭
Such a beautiful story. I cried when she made her final journey. Fantastic photography and just a wonderful film.
And the Mother Octo passing on so her babies can live...cycle of life.
spoilers
This documentary had a profound effect on my soul , it changed me ….I’ll remember this for the rest of my life ❤
The whole documentary is deeply meditative and beautifully conceived.
Agreed 💛
Exactly. I cried and feel this with my whole being
The fact that humans don’t realize the connections between animals and humans is evident and real if you’re paying attention...This documentary is beautifully narrated and showcases the importance of caring for animals-Under the ocean, on land, or in the sky
Humans do realize. It’s exhausting seeing this same type of comment on every nature documentary ever made. Ffs everyone knows how smart and in tune animals are.
This comment gives off "live laugh love" vibes ngl
Because God literally made us to care for animals. We are the stewards of this Earth. And they KNOW that, too.
My husband and I just watched this tonight since it's been nominated for an oscar. Lemme tell you not gonna lie, there are 2 grown adults sobbing the last 20 minutes of this documentary 😭😭😭😭so beautiful ❤️ and damn those pajama 🦈 sharks!!!!
Well, i guess these sharks have their senses too. It is just part of the evolution and we must be lucky to be on the top of it :) In other words, let's stop this madness and take care of our mother Earth.
Its just nature taking its course
I feel like those pajama sharks weren’t supposed to be in that area kind of like an invasive species eating very precious animals that aren’t supposed to eaten it almost like they just wanted to hunt octopus didn’t see them eat any other animals
I'm sorry but we're never on the top of the food chain
This documentary changes you, it makes you see the creatures around you in an absolutely different light. I was vegetarian due to religion now I feel i am for them.
This is the best documentary I have ever seen in my entire life. It needs more exposure, I ran across it accidentally. Loved the emotions, the beautiful scenery and the narrator had so much feeling in his voice it just made the whole experience incredible. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
I agree ..I also came across it by mere chance.
This documentary is awful - the man is talking about his friend octopus and didn't help him while it was being eaten by a small shark. Don't wish anybody to have friends like the author of the movie. After this moment you understand that all this cameraman is speaking is a lie.
youre awful for even saying something like that, but..each person has their own path and Im pretty sure where your path is going. My Grandmother was Shawnee Native American and she would probably call you "one thats not with the world" and it makes sense to me now, if you cant see something so beautiful between two species, then maybe you need to look one more time in the mirror, becasue it seems to me that you dont get it, but theres always hope.@@fm4660
Just finished watching this film. This is one of the best nature documentaries I have ever watched, and certainly the best in recent years. What a beautiful friendship.
If he was the octopus`s friend he would have helped her to get rid of the shark.
This was the best documentary I have ever seen. It has everything: listening, context, adaptation, survival, life, love, delicacy, violence, emotions, intelligence, .....👏👏👏👏👏
Yes it really is. If you like this kind of documentaries you should watch "Jago a life underwater" on Netflix. Its the most beautiful documentary I've ever watched.
@@32JEAN34 Thank you for that I'm gonna watch it now
@@luv2stack awesome! did you like it?
@@32JEAN34 Tried to find it but it's not available in my country. Looked everywhere
@@luv2stack aww too bad.. the full movie is on youtube but with really crappy quality.
As a documentary film maker I will simply say this is one of the most moving, evocative, stunning (visually) pieces of work I have enjoyed viewing.......it's strength is the raw honesty of the film maker and his narrative of the relationship between him and the octopus.....it is very special....the footage is clear and beautiful....the octopus changing colours to match with kelp, rocks, the den,.....the octopus walking on two arms over the sands.....the film makers care and worry for the octopus when a shark wrestles her in her den and tears an arm off.....how he can't sleep until he finds her again.....
This is a true, magical, down to earth, beautiful beautiful piece of work..........
This whole documentary was incredible, but what struck me the most is how he and her were meant to meet. How she changed him. Incredible to see her reach out and touch him, how she obviously showed affection and would even cuddle with him and go to his chest. I wonder if she could feel his heart beat. That last time; after she plays with the fish, maybe she was saying good bye.... I dunno. Absolutely the best documentary I've ever watched.
Amazing ..i cried.... this is beautiful
Me too!
Me too!
I watched yesterday in 2 halves I found it so profoundly emotional it was too heavy for my hyper empathy. Am still crying
@@Yubnub_dunduY I get you bro
@@jasonantigua6825 :P
This film has had such an enchanting affect on me that I'm still spellbound, and left pondering, questioning and reflecting my own life, relationships and connection with nature. It's on my list of favorite films of all time.
I watched the whole documentary. I cried when she died 😭 I'm currently working on making a sculpture of her out of polymer clay ❤ that's how much I loved this story
Lol i started drawing and painting octopusses after watching this ♥️🐙
I did too. I cry when any animal is hurt or dies. I wish he hadn't seen it happen ... 😥
Did you finish it?
This was an amazing documentary. There is a real sadness to it as well - I think the reason I got so upset by this is I think we know as humans that we've kind of messed up this beautiful gift we've been entrusted with because of our greed and instincts out of control. This wee octopus has taught us how to connect with our true selves again. It even went and covered his heart. Brilliant *sob*
Couldn't agree more with you. I wanted to rage for that same fact but the combination of sadness, awe and love for that story kept me in a state of wanting to protect it, nature, with all my might.
I wish I could keep this feeling in my heart forever; this is a love story like none other.
Beautifully said. You could see the pain in his eyes telling the story. Just an amazing film.

just finished watching and currently am sobbing, rushed to this video into the comments to find that I'm not the only one that was so highly affected by this documentary. Amazing work, Craig you are amazing!
I'm sobbing too... just finished watching on Netflix.
Movies have made me sad and movies have made me cry but this movie was absolutely gut wrenching. I screamed in tears as she let herself get torn up. It was literally like witnessing the sudden and tragic death of a loved one. I grieved for that octopus.
I never thought I’d cry over an octopus film, and I did cried heavily both of sorrow and heartfelt after this.
I almost cried watching the trailer when the shark appeared... lol

I’m an infantry Marine. This was the best doc I’ve ever seen and enjoyed. The steady, patient persistence and personal attachment you gain a new understanding. Having spent so much time in the sea I know that we don’t know. So well done
I came back to watch this again after about 2 years. I have to just reiterate. This documentary makes you question and reevaluate your whole relationship with nature and is such a unique psychological take. The creator slash explorer of this doc is a genius for taking this mindful and curious approach, almost child-like sensory approach because I remember thinking about animals in the same way as a kid and losing that over time growing up as we become more and more surrendered and lost to the human world. This doc is inspirational, moving and beautiful in every way and really is a stroke of organic genius. Everything just feels challenged, natural and honest, and the connection this man has to nature is so raw.
Should make you realize the Bible is true and God created us to care for animals and them to want our care.
I don’t remember the last time a film affected me in such a deep and profound way. I really was with the awe inspiring beauty and the terror of what it means to be a human being. The courage and the joy of that little Octopus has forever changed my heart. Thank you my Octopus Teacher 🙏
"What happens if I just went every day?"
I saved a common green lizard (anole) today from inside a retail store. The entire time I was carrying it out I couldn't help thinking of that octopus. Once outside at the edge of some woods , as I held it towards some blades of grass, it just sat there looking back at me from the palm of my hand. It was probably the warmth of my hand or fearful of moving, but I wanted to feel a connection.
This film inspired me. It wasn't a "crazy idea."
Thank You
I do that with snails when i find them in my organic lettuce, sometimes I buy cuttlebone (for birds) and the snails suck on it and grow their shell back if craked. I don't know, but the stranger the creature the more fascinating it is.
Are you saying you bought a lizard at a pet store and let it go in the woods?
@@LetsGoFlyers2011 ...no, they’re saying they found a lizard in a retail store? Pretty clear. I’ve caught & released dozens of lizards from my house.

GREAT JOB !! 🦎
Finally something beautiful and breathtaking comes from Netflix. This was one of the most mesmerizing documentaries I have ever seen. Wish every person in the world could see this, instead of the nonsense they feed daily in the news. Make everyone remember their humanity and how connected we all are to this planet.
This is one of the most beautiful things I have watched in my 49 years. I began to describe why but I knew my words were reducing it. Just watch with the heart of a child. She deserves that.
*SPOILER*
I found it amazing that at the end of her life, this beautiful creature came outside her den to die, rather than hide away. Seems to me, in death, she was giving her body to nourish other sea creatures and in her own way, keeping this forest alive. What a beautifully moving and well-told story with magnificent cinematography and music that completely transcends you for 1 hour 25 minutes. Bravo.
Exactly right, that was the most amazing thing for me too.
I wonder if she feels a lot of pain while she's being eaten alive. If I was dying i still wouldn't want fish to bite little chunks of meat out of my body before I'm gone.
@@martin1042 She's already dead when they start to eat her lol
Yeah female octupus die shortly after that process so even if she wasn't dead then she would've died shortly
@@martin1042 I wish he put her in a safe place to die peacefully I feel so so bad the fishes slowly eat her while she was still alive that was horrible I can't get over it

Dear brother, if you really love nature be vegan 😇
Watched this for the first time today. I cried ugly tears. Like actual geyser tears. Not just from the story itself but the musical score was one of those beautiful pieces I've heard for a documentary. It was just so touching and heartwarming. ❣️
Not only the best nature documentary ever made, arguably, but perhaps the most amazing thing ever put on camera, period.

Eye contact, curiosity, first approach and touch. The relationship, the desire to make it happen and the event itself, simply fascinating.
What?
One of the best films about nature I have ever seen. Moving, well narrated and never forgotten.
This is one of the best documentaries I've ever seen. Absolutely captivating. I can barely think about it without getting emotional.
This is the most beautiful and moving film I've ever seen. I needed to see this right now as I struggle to make sense of this world. We need more people like Craig Foster.
Same here... This doc gives us some answer provided we are open minded and grasp it
I spent the most beautiful 1 hour and 25 min of my life watching this beautiful documentary.
A story of friendship, living, fighting, surviving, loving and most of all a mother's love and her sacrifices. What an incredible masterpiece. Thank you for this gift Craig and the rest of the team who made this. Live fast. Die young.
Ahm live fast die young? Can you explain me this thing?
The most profound documentary I have ever seen... One mans connection with the wild, so raw, it really touched me.
Wow for the first time this year I’m put in a gentle and peaceful mood, after watching this documentary. I know I will come back to this amazing masterpiece again and again. It even healed me in some way and restored my faith in the world to some extent. It made me cry throughout the whole movie but also felt very warm and relaxed. Thank you Craig.
This is one of the most emotional and beautiful things I have ever seen. Absolute must watch.
This was the best documentary I’ve ever seen. I cried SO hard
I had just read "The Soul of an Octopus' and this was a wonderful follow-up to that book. Difficult to put into words the experience one has being pulled into this incredible documentary. I think it is the best one I've ever seen. The world he shows us is one still intact in its beauty, even though we humans are quickly destroying our greatest gift, the planet. Connection to earth will be the only thing that might save it just as it saved the filmmaker.
Absolutely brilliant documentary. One of the most profound statements this film makes is how our world and the natural world have very different rules -- and when you join the natural world, respect those rules and let whatever will be simply be. Cannot stop thinking about this film.
One of the greatest African documentaries ever made. Deserved that Oscar like Searching For Sugar Man
This was absolutely breathtaking. Amazing and just incredible. These animals are so intelligent. I mean, I am speechless. Everyone should definitely see this, you will have a brand new appreciation for animals in general.
Yeah, incredibly brilliant. I hear one's to be the new Jeopardy host. What a silly thing to say. Look at the size of its brain! Hummmmmmmmmmmm... it's an instinctual being fighting to survive, to get away from the self-absorbed, pretentious dope of a horrible man. He's not only completely full of himself but of shit too. Imagine being such a horrible loser you harass an octopus day in and day out for the sole reason to serve your arrogant hollow heart. .

And have you ever had a pet before?

After "our planet" another heart melting documentary.................. thanks Netflix
Just finished watching this documentary and came here to see all the amazing comments . Never thought , i would fall in love with octopus 🐙.
I watched this on Netflix today. I was moved like I have never been moved before. I have a new urge to protect and love the ocean and it's animals like never before. We are all one on this planet.
The best documentary I’ve ever seen; cried for an hour after it ended; so touching.❤️
Perhaps the most moving and touching thing I have watched in years. Proudly South African and exceptionally well done. Do not miss this.
So beautiful! One of the most intelligent creatures on the planet , teaching us about love 💘
I had rated only 10/10 to Planet Earth series till now. But this documentary on nature took me to another level. The love, affection and trust between human and an animal is beyond imagination. This documentary will stay with me forever. Its will equally make u happy and sad.
I watched this the other day, and it blew my mind. Never in my life did I realise how amazing the animal Kingdom can be. Watching the journey that man and the octopus embarked on together was truly magical.
I watched it with my mum, and I had a huge lump in my throat watching that, and my mum blubbered like a baby!
Ok, I admit, I had tears in my eyes by the end. I keep thinking about what I saw, days after I watched it. It's not often a documentary has stayed with me like that.
EVERYONE should watch this film!
This has touched my soul on so many levels. Stunning. I have no words for this, I am just grateful to have been able to see such an amazing bound. Nature is everything. I ugly cried.
I ugly cried too!!! My favorite documentary of all time.
If this masterpiece doesn’t win the Oscar, I give up on the Oscars. Best documentary I’ve ever seen. I cried out loud watching this!
It did :)
It did don’t worry buddy! You don’t need to give up.
it did >:]
Yeahhhh
I believe it did win in it's category. 😅
I just found this documentary, and I'm so glad I did. What a beautiful story, and what a commitment from Craig. You can truly tell this touched him. She was a beautiful octopus. It's amazing that this man was in the right place to have this wonderful octopus change so many lives. Thank you, octopus, for reminding us to care for our wonderful creatures.
I watched this involuntarily. I was crying at the end. I never thought it would be possible to cry over an octopus. I don't think I can eat octopuses any more.
Don't eat animals, they have a soul!
An ABSOLUTE MUST SEE film. Incredible heartwarming story and brilliantly filmed. I always knew the Octopus had a very high intelligence but you will see amazing things in this film that you probably never saw before and it only confirms once again how amazing the underwater world is and how everything fits together and needs to be in a certain balance... The Ocean is such a wonderful place.. and so much still needs to be discovered... but we keep destroying her more and more.. Encounters like these and the brilliant story telling and filming give us such a insight in this miraculous world. Thank you for sharing your wonderful experience... We could feel your emotions through the whole film...
I just watched this documentary. I cannot explain the depth of emotions it stirred. It is so hauntingly beautiful. Touched my heart, mind & soul. And that feeling lingers long after the documentary is over. What an extraordinary feeling & an awareness towards all living creatures 💙
Omg my feelings exactly. I wish I could Meet all the people who this film has touched. It would be a wonderful family, wouldn’t it?
@@djronniebruno Yes 🙂🤗
all i know is i really want to eat that octopus,,, especially add some soy sauce to it OMG!! How yummy 😋😋

A brilliant masterpiece just when humanity needs it most.
I cried my heart out from beginning to end. This is such a bittersweet story, and animals are so delicate and can teach us so much by simply living their life... A beautiful, beautiful story. 💕💕💕
I was so upset at the end when he let nature take its course rather than get involved, but once he started crying I realized that it was difficult for him to stay objective. Great movie
I was upset various times with him for not defending her somehow like when she got amputated and also in the end letting her be fed up by sharks when she was moribund...despite her proving she could overcome most obstacles ...
**SPOILERS**
I kinda hate this guy. He kept saying he didn't defend her because he didn't want to disturb nature but that's what he was doing the whole time. He put her in danger many times and couldn't even be bothered to let her die a painless peaceful death and just filmed as she was being slowly eaten alive, he exploited her for his documentary and his midlife crisis.
@@Sonic_Titan I don't think you give the Octopus enough credit. It was intelligent enough to know what it was doing. It would have faced the sharks whether Craig was there or not. That is their life. The face dangers of the deep everyday.
That octopus wouldn't have come out of hiding if it didn't want to. It chose to befriend Craig.
And it knew that its end would come eventually anyway. Their lifespan is about a year and once they have layed their eggs they know it is time to die.
Craig helped to educate the world with his documentary.
However I don't like that more divers are now going down into the water to explore.
@@HeatherLikesArt He was swimming around with her and made her leave her safe place many times exposing her to many threats, he probably attracted the sharks too. He was messing with her environment every day while saying he didn't help her because he didn't want to interfere with it, I think he was doing a lot of mental gymnastics to convince himself of that.
I know she was about to die but I wouldn't feel comfortable just filming an animal I supposedly had this deep and rare connection with while it was dying slowly or painfully, I would find a place it could die peacefully and not being eaten alive.
Sure the documentary has some great shots and gives us alot of insight into these amazing creatures, I had tears in my eyes once or twice but at the same time I wish he would show the same level of empathy the octopus showed towards him.
@@Sonic_Titan My opinion isn’t quite as harsh as yours. But I agree with where youre coming from. It’s one thing to be an impartial observer, but he was anything but that.
He even admits that he had a deep connection with this animal and he felt the feeling was reciprocated. Would you sit idle while your adopted, semi-wild pet/friend was killes by predators?
I can imagine the octopus thinking, “Are you seriously not going to do anything but sit there?0
Not only is this the best nature documentary I've ever seen, it is possibly the best movie I've ever seen. How the hell the filmmaker was able to create empathy (I cried for days) for what most of us would consider a strange, threatening, if not disgusting alien-looking creature. This dude deserves a Nobel.
The best documentary I have ever seen in my 60 years. Attenborough eat your heart out. He brings his feelings and emotions into a place we can all see and empathize with. A lot of humans could do with a little of what that beautiful creature has in spades.
*Sad music plays* "The next day, big shark came, and just took her away into the misty forest" I just fell apart..
Same. Devastating.
So sad, RIP little pus x
Same here balled my eyes out 😭 Nature 💕
🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺
Was she already dead when the shark came? Sorry, I don't even have the stomach to watch the trailer... 🥺
It made me cry my eyes out and reminded me about the beauty of life and nature, all at once. I feel so grateful for finding it.
I cried at this documentary! Truly touching.
This film was absolutely beautiful and moving. It will get the accolades it deserves. I encourage everyone and anyone to watch it.
Never cried so much over a documentary in my life. Beautiful captivating amazing and wonderful story of life and it's beauty and wonders. Excellent documentary. Narration and filming were excellent. I really felt like I too, feel in love with that magnificent creature.
I never cry so hard over a film before. I fell in love with this octopus.
Isn't that amazing the part she plays with fishes. It looked so beatiful and sincere from a fish hunter that enjoying her life
A tender voice, indicating a curious and tender soul ... making us aware again of the beauty and importance and our dependency of this global natural network.
I loved this film. I’m on the coast of California and outside most of my days. If you are alone, nature shows you so many things and experiences that are magical. I finally bought a really good camera and getting great shots but the magic is found in your heart.
I have watched so many of such documentaries, but this..this was was documentary of a LIFE TIME!!!! This is the MOST magical thing I have ever seen and I have learned SO MUCH!!!
That’s something else. That’s art in a way I’ve never seen before. Best nature documentary ever
This was so amazing to watch. I could not look away and I cried at the sadness and beauty of this Octopus life.
