Grizzly Man Details

Great footage and surprisingly hilarious

Treadwell from the first moments of the film is shown to have a different outlook on life.

The film works great on 3 main levels, Firstly you're seeing amazing footage of bears from over 13 years of filming and footage that is shot so (insanely)close up to the bears you wonder if you will ever see this type of footage again.

Secondly Treadwell is a case study in loneliness leading to self delusion (that only he can save the bears)but puts his case with such belief its staggering.

Thirdly the film is hilarious. Treadwell seems blissfully unaware that his bizarre behaviour and some outlandish views are so laughable and the people brought on camera to talk about his character don't seem know him that well but like to be on film. I came out undertanding why he thought the wildlife and bears needed protection but ultimately his methods were more harmful than beneficial, you may come out with a totally different view. The film may not be completely to your taste though as it features Americans who display that forced sincerity and crying for camera, even the coroner can't just provide a normal report.

[Highly rated reviewer]

disconcerting

excellent footage and scenery but timothys head was obviously pickled after the drug abuse. he had the mental age of a child in most parts of the film but also a massive courage of conviction, although i think he did the bears a disservice as they lost some of their natural instinct to be wary of humans. harrowing film indeed
