Love this analysis. It reminds me of Maggie Mae's breakdown of My Octopus Teacher as eco-horror film -- it ends up exploring the same themes around language and communication that you brought up here. [0] [0] [VIDEO] Specific time stamp for section on language (Gorillas in the Congo): [VIDEO]
Here is a critique of My Octopus Teacher as a movie of a self-centered man who projects his issues onto an unsuspecting wild animal: "MY OCTOPUS TEACHER & Environmental Horror, An Analysis" [VIDEO]
I would recommend people not to watch it and instead watch this well done critique (and criticism) titled “My Octopus Teacher & Environmental Horror” by Maggie Mae. [1] I could’ve spent my time better if I’d watched this and avoided “My Octopus Teacher” altogether. [1]: [VIDEO]
