Oktapodi (2007) Analysis

Setting

Recent years, located in Greece


Characters

An orange and pink octopus

A driver(possibly a trades/delivery driver)

A shop keeper.

Conflict

Two octopus vs a man(driver)

(The environment vs a man)

Climax

The driver accidentally drives straight into the ocean after a quiet cut to a side angle.

Symbols

The water/ocean= freedom, peace

octopus=animals=humans 

Driver=greed?


Irony

Despite the driver trying to capture the two octopus, he let go of both of them after finally grasping them because he was about to crash.

At first, the driver only had one octopus but after being distracted by the orange octopus, he decided to try and capture both, leading him without any after crashing. (He lost his money, he lost the octopus, and even lost his bike)

Theme

The strength of love between two individuals after separation 

Another 一兎う追う者二兎う追えず themed story (like the dog)
