My Teacher Octopus (2020) review

-



I recently got a tip to watch the documentary, My Teacher Octopus. I found it on Netflix. This documentary might have been the best documentary ever filmed had the white-privileged emo motherfucker, who filmed it, not been such a piece of shit. This documentary managed to touch me deeply and anger me immensely at the same time. Granted, that is not a bad thing, because whether it’s a movie, TV show or docu, if it makes you feel all kinds of emotions it’s a good thing. However, how that emo-motherfucker managed to fuck up his documentary is beyond me. I am not going to spoil it, but I urge you to watch it to see if you will get as angered as I was.

Just look at that emo motherfucker!


My Teacher octopus is about a guy who finds no happiness in his work, so he quits working. He starts diving in the Kelpsee and discovers a female Octopus. He builds a relationship with her and decides to return every day to film his encounters with her and the life she leads. The Octopus totally steals the show.

Show stealer


The Octopus is endearing, smart, intelligent and loves life. That life does not come without dangers. The underwater scenes are breath-taking, the scenery is beautiful, and the most beautiful thing is the octopus. To me this documentary is incredibly special. Not only because of all the beautiful images, but also because it depicts the friendship between animal and man. 

Friends!


The thing that amazed me the most about this documentary is the beautiful soul of the octopus. She had more soul than most humans today and that just put a big smile on my face. Capturing something like that is amazing, and it is must-see if you love animals. Next to that it teaches you things about the Octopus.

Too bad the filmmaker was such an asshole. Yes, he has a hit on his hands and yes, he made
a cool documentary, however what he did to the Octopus was appalling. Watch it and you will
know what I mean. 

Two things are for sure after watching this fantastic documentary:

1. I will never eat Octopus, Inkfish or anything similar again.
2. The emo filmmaker was a bitch!

The Oscar's is soon approaching and while this year's 55th Academy Awards will take extra precaution due to a silly incident, let’s not forget how the hypocrites from the American Academy of Motion pictures and science, awarded Director "Raping" Roman Polanski for 2004's The Pianist as best picture. As of recent, one of Polanski's biggest fans, Harvey Weinstein has received an additional 16 year sentence for rape and sexual assault but prior to his scandalous trial, which more than 80 women made allegations of sexual harassment and/or rape against the infamous producer. But prior to these allegations, leading to his sentencing, Weinstein formed a petition for the release of notorious Polish filmmaker Roman Polanski who drugged, raped and sodomized a 13-year-old girl, as a result became a fugitive from the U.S. criminal justice system, since 1978, after pledging guilty for his heinous crime. When Polanski was arrested in Zurich, Switzerland, in correlation to h

THE RETURN OF THE LIVING DEAD!!!FACT!!!

Written by Creepythinman Dan O'Bannon's The Return of the Living Dead is my number one favorite movie and the one I’ve watched more than any other in my lifetime and that’s because the film is a masterpiece of the zombie genre. I used to watch it a few times a week during my childhood and would have it playing in the background, when not studying or banging beaver where I would devour textbooks and pussy like a putrescent corpse eats BRAINS! But I always wondered why this movie above all others fascinated me ever so? It could be because I love zombies and have watched, read and played almost everything to do with them in every form of media. It pleases me that the living dead have rightfully taken their place as the great cinematic monster of our time when they used to be regarded as a mongrel sub-genre before George A. Romero’s seminal masterpiece Night of the Living Dead (1968) became the defining Horror movie of the last century. As I’ve said many times before, there are onl

Miami Vice finale: Freefall (1989) Directed by Russ Mayberry Reviewer’s note: Originally, I planned on doing a write up last year which was the benchmark of this episode’s 30th anniversary but was either sidetracked or too lazy. So now, here we are. We had one hell of a run, didn't we, partner." That quote pretty much sums it all! 1989, was the bookend of the greatest decade of popular culture. The 1980's was on its way out. But before fading out, there was this finale of yet another great series which defined  this exciting decade: NBC's Miami Vice 1984-1989.  This Crime Drama was innovative on so many levels, be it the implementation of adding rock songs within scenarios,  Jan Hammer's amazing soundtrack, adult subject matter that at times were disturbing,  solid character arcs, the introduction of then unknown actors like Julia Roberts, Bruce Willis and Wesley Snipes just to name a few, the bromance between Sonny Crockett and Ricardo Tubbs, gorgeous nightlife sc
