Option #2 1) Octopus vs. The Volcano Werner Herzog is one of the most famous working documentary filmmakers in the world. Let’s check out his film, Into the Inferno (2016), as a way to compare/contrast with MY OCTOPUS TEACHER and Question: In what ways do you see both science AND magic in MY OCTOPUS TEACHER and INTO THE INFERNO… ? Why do you think films like this are being made in the 21st century when we’ve all become so advanced? fast-paced? and technological (haven’t we?)…. Your paper should 1) COMPARE/CONTRAST how these documentaries approach their material… Are their styles similar or different? are these in search of scientific realities or something more? Make sure to emphasize specific scenes from both works. 2) COMPARE/CONTRAST style of storytelling We think of documentaries as “objective,” but in fact they are stories… with beginnings, middles and ends, conflicts, complications, and resolutions. What are the most effective parts of both stories? In what ways do you see them reflecting our age as a kind of mirror screen?
