Current Movies - Thumbs UP or Thumbs DOWN

I've never heard of it either. Sounds like a kids movie/animated

It is about a man filming an octopus every day for a year. He learns a lot about himself during the year too

I really enjoyed this film too. So heartwarming!

I had to watch it by myself. My fiancee doesnt like those type of movies. Just describing the film to him made him scoff and say "sounds like he was enabling her". I argued the opposite because he never let her move in. If he had seen the movie maybe he would think different. Oh well he has his action movies and I have my artsy ones. We just have to watch them seperately

Sounds really boring...guess I'd just have to see it. Or perhaps is it a tad silly...like "Rubber"? I loved that movie.

My octopus teacher is more of a nature move with some life lessons for the guy filming the movie

I thought so, too, and couldn't understand why my friend kept recommending it. Then I read the reviews. It's a scientific (but also deeply moving and personal, it seems) documentary about a man who interacts with an octopus over the course of her life (https://www.newscientist.com/articl...ew-the-strange-lives-of-cephalopods-up-close/).

We loved it!

Happy to hear that! Was it extremely sad?

Doesn't sound like something I'd like. Not really a fan of documentaries. Idk why it would be sad even. Maybe if the octopus dies and he realizes that he just wasted an exuberant amount of time watching it be an octopus. Idk I guess Ive never felt anything about a relationship to a fish...and Ive had a lot of fish. We had a 50 gallon fish tank growing up. It was pretty to watch them swim but ultimately a bore. The coolest was our placostomus (sp?) He got so big that when he died we had to bury him because he simply would not flush

It had a scary part, gory parts and a sad part but was mostly uplifting

Watched The wrong man(1956) by Alfred Hitchcock at the weekend, being crazy catching up his work this year and he barely let me down

Well I fell for the "creature/man" from ''The Shape of Water.' He treated "her" better than any man ever treated me.
