On Grizzly Man
I feel that through this documentary Timothy Treadwell was portrayed in many different lights; it truly brought to the surface many different individuals feelings towards Treadwell and the work that he did with the grizzly bear. Some people viewed him as crazy, others just thought that he had a death wish. I believe that he understood a lot more about this majestic animal than any human being ever has. I believe he fully understood the risks he was putting himself in. He truly did love every and all animals, and was an amazing advocate for the grizzly bear. he did his work for nature, he loved nature and fully comprehended the meaning of 'nature'. He viewed nature and the grizzly bear as sacred, as an animal that every other human being in the world knew little or nothing about. he felt most at home in the harsh environment with the bears, it is sad to think that something he loved so much was to be his downfall. i feel that although Herzog did Timothy Treadwell justice through this documentary, he did not have the same comprehension of nature as Treadwell. I feel that the type of spirit shown in Timothy Treadwells documentaries only comes from true love and compassion for what he was doing. Only when you completely submerse yourself in it and say that you love it more than humanity can you truly understand it. I feel that there is a lot more to be learned about this amazing animal and the vast unknown wilderness that surrounds them. I wish people would have taken Treadwells words to heart when he was alive, because we can't ask him questions now, we can't learn from him now.
