When you're making a film about the intersection between human beings and an octopus, you couldn't have had a more perfect scientific adviser. She went through the film with us literally scene by scene and just gave us different insights into what she thinks it might be like to be an octopus. You've got to be so careful not to anthropomorphize, but she looks at it from a very pragmatic point of view. She said, 'Imagine if you are a creature that many millions of years ago had a shell and has now traded that shell for a very big brain. What kind of animal does that evolutionary process create?' And the first thing she said was, 'An octopus's life is defined by the tension between fear and curiosity.' It's great when it's all very positive and you're swimming together, but then something bad happens and like any human being you wonder, 'Did something I do have an impact on that. Am I partly to blame for this?' That definitely ran quite deep and I don't think he had a real answer for it. You're adapting your ethical behavior to suit the new situation. I don't think previous to that he would have considered providing food to attract her attention. It's an interesting area. I find it one of the most fascinating things to talk to him about. What's okay? Where are the lines? N: What do you make of the moment that Craig offers the octopus food after a shark bites off one of its limbs? InterNewsCast (19 September 2020).

James Reed: It's a very interesting question. You could argue that in the initial phase she is taking some risks, she doesn't quite know who he is. But then she's not a social animal so you can't really compare her behavior to anything normally social. I wonder... did she assume that far from taking risks by being with him, was she actually minimizing risk by being with him? An assumption that this huge thing that I've just worked out is quite friendly is also very big. That's cool. The film was also spoofed on the Documentary Now episode My Monkey Grifter.

PE: I think there are a lot of things that Craig is still conflicted about. I think in that situation, you make choices with the information that you have in front of you, and under quite a lot of pressure. But they are parts of the film that he struggles to watch, for sure.
