“My Octopus Teacher”

“My Octopus Teacher” is now one of my favorite films and I urge you to watch it.  It is a great story about a man who befriends an octopus.  Admittedly, I was not a fan of octopuses because I was scared of them.  After seeing this film, I have become a fan and am truly amazed by them.  Can you imagine, most of them only live for only 1-2 years and basically give up their lives to give birth to their offspring.  And they can change color, their shape, and their texture!  Wow, what if we could do that?  Octopuses are also very intelligent, they can very quickly figure out a strategy to outwit the sharks who wish to eat them and when to inject venom into a mollusk for dinner.
