On Grizzly Man

Grizzly Man is one of the most interesting and surprising documentaries I have ever seen. Timothy Treadwell was quite an amazing man, one can call him unique at the very least. His ability to connect with grizzly bears at such close proximity and at an almost unbelievable personal level is astonishing. The fact that he was able to survive unarmed for an incredible thirteen summers in the wilderness was a feat of fascination. Although Treadwell was attacked and killed by one of the grizzly bears he was studying, it wasn't unusual to see him die. It was a very tragic and catastrophic occurrence, however, I feel Treadwell was naive in thinking that it was safe to live with wild bears. I believe he misunderstood the danger involved in video taping, and sometimes even touching the animals. Also, I saw that Timothy Treadwell thought he was an animal, and often acted like one. He was a person who really appreciated nature and only wanted it protected and preserved. Overall, the hundreds of hours of uncut and unedited video footage is remarkable. I recommend watching Grizzly Man to anyone interested in nature and animals, especially bears, and even people who just wish to explore the life of a wonderful man, Timothy Treadwell.
