The octobus dies at the end

It's showing that creatures have. Emotion

Very stunning visuals I was not very keen on subject that it's trying rub our sour feeling

It wrong time to be showing this kind of stuff but again it Netflix

They are incredibly intelligent creatures who can work out very complex puzzles. I will look out for it.

"Is this not illegal?"

Being emotionally attached to a pet isn't illegal.

If we didn't become attached to pets we wouldn't treat them well or cry when they die.

I didnt want to know the whole plot.. more like genre would have been enough with short synopsis.

Got you.. I thought the octupus had become his girlfriend.

Out of interest. We are told that octupus is a clever animal.

What about squid?

I loved this. And cried hideously at the end. The scene where he watched her playing was so lovely. And when she gave him the final cuddle.

Sob!

That sounds like the kind of thing I would love to watch but now I know it has a sad ending I don’t think I will.

Can’t watch things like Marley and Me for the same reason.

The poster must be the kind of person that tells people that Bruce Willis is dead in The Sixth Sense- oh wait ...

Holy crap... does your message come with a translation option?

Its a fantasic film that shows how emotions are transferable across species... no different from dog and man... nothing sinister or wrong about it... i would suggest your mind is working over time... ok to blame lockdown

Beautiful cinematography throughout, and that scene where she literally reaches out and caresses him for the last time had me in bits.

Thank you for this invaluable heads-up. Clearly a man of intellect and taste. I shall cancel my subscription forthwith, sir.

I thought it was an amazing film. Beautifully shot and well presented. The fact he filmed it without scuba gear was incredible too. I’ve read through the messages and can’t for the life of me figure out how anyone could have anything negative to say about the unique look into a natural habitat they we would never have had without this film. For those tho haven’t seen it, I’m sorry the end was spoiled,

but it’s still a breathtaking movie to watch.

Agreed. Unique and beautiful, for those of us who can appreciate such things, and don’t need The Rock, rolling about with an arsenal of guns, in order to be entertained!

Octopuses are supposed to be highly intelligent, but die terribly young. Must admit I check any movie with animals in it on IMDB to make sure it has a happy ending!

It is rare you get such an amazing story about a human and wild animal. Fortunately the right talented people were in place to make it. An example of how important it is to be prepared for your own moment when it comes to our own lives.
