I got downright squishy the other night. Somehow, hard as this is to fathom, a story about an octopus brought me to tears.
I
sat on my sofa and, quite literally, shed tears (several times) watching a documentary
about a man who befriends an octopus living in a kelp forest in the waters of False
Bay near Cape Town, South Africa.
An
octopus.
An
invertebrate.
Me
crying.
I
found the documentary, My Octopus Teacher, while snapping through junk
on Netflix and decided to watch because, well, I don’t know why.
Honestly,
I don’t have in my arsenal all the proper words to describe this documentary. The cinematography is stunning. The story, though expressed softly, is deeply
emotive and impossible to leave behind after you have finished watching.
