My Octopus Teacher is possibly the worst project ever recorded on video. Everyone involved in making it, funding it, and green lighting it should be fired into the sun.
Most especially this applies to the human protagonist, who somehow expects to be praised for abandoning his entire life, including kids, because he saw a fucking octopus.
The entire conceit of the film is also a transparent lie: it was obviously made with a large film crew and (sadly) was not the project of one weirdo loser. I’m angry that my love of nature documentaries suckered me into watching it.
The weirdest thing is that octopuses are legitimately amazing. Top 5 animal on the planet, easily. How do you make a feature length documentary on one becoming friends with a human that is so contemptible?
