“A lot of people say that an octopus is like an alien.”
// Craig Foster (My Octopus Teacher)
It’s a little bit of a science lesson.
My Octopus Teacher, is an implicit Edenesque documentary, set in a kelp forest full of vivid sounds and scenery, seaweed and sea anemones, in a place called Cape of Storms, West Africa. The word origin of Edenesque is from ‘Eden’, as the Garden of Eden in the Book of Genesis + the suffix ‘-esque’.

The wonders of watching an octopus’ life — from beginning to end — is getting out of our incredibly hard shells and journaling how the documentary illustrates Eden, and how God impressed our minds with more than one right way to think. This is where it gets interesting.
“In the garden of Eden, Adam and Eve were friends with all kinds of animals, just like the man in the movie made friends with the octopus.”
Hugo, 12
“God breathed life into man’s nostrils like the man had life. The man also tried to befriend the octopus like Adam and Eve tried to befriend the animals.”
Caiden, 13
“The man would go to the Atlantic ocean and explore freely, but God told man, ‘Do not eat from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil.'”
Deyanciss. 15
“The man in the documentary interacted with an octopus, and we could see how beautiful the animals were playing without causing harm. I hope one day in heaven, we all get to interact with each other and the animals and have peace.”
