I like the film, “Oktapodi” we were given
as an assignment, since it’s humorous and cute but educational as well.
The setting of this film is an European country
along the ocean during the day in summer.
The point of view is omniscient; this film
is a story with emotions of a number of characters, two octopuses and a
restaurant delivery man.
The conflict is a group of animals, the two octopuses making love to each other vs. a person, the driver taking the female octopus to a restaurant to cook. The male octopus is trying to save the female octopus to stay with each other.
The climax is that the driver was so engrossed in catching the octopuses that he didn’t look forward and fell into the water.
The two octopuses symbolize true love, the driver stands for people, and a car he drives is our busy and difficult society.
The irony is that no sooner had peace prevailed among the two octopuses and they thought they could spend quality time together than a sea gull captured the male octopus.
The theme is that true love is the most important thing under any circumstances.
