Eighth-legged Love

How does an octopus show his love to another octopus? By fending off a human who is trying to eat his love! The video follows the thoughts and emotions of a male and female octopus as they race through a small town similar to Italy, by the shoreline.

The one thing that is very prominent is how the octopuses emote so humanly. Scenes of big round teary eyes, moments of fright and anger fill our thoughts as the sound of fast-paced violin tunes gives us a rush, fitting the overall pace of the video.

On the other hand, the place it was set it did not have any inhabitants except for the shop owner and the buyer. It was more like a ghost town than town filled with people, but then again it could be the fact that its early morning as fish mongers go about their business.

While it's an entertaining video indeed, it gives us a thought of what an octopus feels. It also shed light on the thought of love conquers all... until the end? I assure you it is a fun video to watch.
