*'I realised I was changing. She was teaching me to become sentitised to the other. Especially wild creatures.'*
*'You slowly start to care about all the animals. Even the tiniest little animals… you realise that everyone is very important.'*
*'What she taught me was to feel that you are a part of this place, not a visitor.'*
I was browsing films and programmes on Netflix last night and suddenly a man with an octopus in water caught my eye. Having been fascinated by octopuses since I read about their lives last month, I was quickly lured to this documentary My Octopus Teacher. Wow. It was the most moving nature film documentary I have ever watched. By far.

My Octopus Teacher is about a strange and yet beautiful friendship between a filmmaker Craig Foster and an octopus. Being burnout, depressed and __ with his family relationships, Craig took a career break and came back to his hometown, Cape Town. One day, while swimming in a kelp forest, he stumbled across a 'ball' that was covered with shells and stuff. It was an octopus. He decided to come visit her every day.
While watching it, various emotions were triggered. I felt curious, intrigued, happy, nervous, sad and empowered. As they gradually built trust in each other, the octopus stared letting Craig to witness her every day life like hunting and playing. The sequence of her being attached by a shark and surviving it was particularly nerve-wrecking and it really hurt me to see the magnificent creature being so weak.

At the end of the film, I felt totally captivated by the beauty of life and made me want to learn about animals and creatures on the earth.
