Yeah...... Some bombs from the cheap seats. So much earnest discussion. So treacly. So much anthropomorphism. Ugh. Please stop talking.
Granted, beautiful footage. I did spend a lot of time thinking how he got the shots. They were fabulous.
But the guy at the center of it was driving me crazy. He talked like he had gone to the mountain and met this great guru who taught him life lessons. The Octopus was just leading it's life. Any lessons he read into it was entirely in his own mind.
Where was this guy's wife for the year he spent in the lagoon? "Hey Honey, I'm spending another day chasing this octopus instead of getting a job" I was thinking that she had left him at some point. At least the son popped up at the end.
I think tQ enjoyed it in spite of my kvetching at the TV. But oh the self-indulgent naval gazing. His, not mine. I saved my naval gazing for the book.

As a matter of fact, my anger does keep me warm
