Grizzly Man
I wondered if any of you have seen this film... and your thoughts on it?
Though it was compelling - cant say I cared for it. The wildlife footage is just astrounding, but I found the film unsettling on several levels, .. even kind of creepy. Like watching a trainwreck about to happen. Its fascinates.. but repels. Timothy Treadwells odd behaviour seemed beyond eccentric -a mental illness more likely. To me, it relayed a man clearly out of touch with reality, paranoid, and with illusions of grandeur - that he had uniquely bonded with these dangerous animals and would be protected by them. Though I found the premise put forth by some that he "got what he deserved" rather harsh... the inevitably of his luck eventually running out a foregone conclusion. He died doing what he loved, but very sad that a young woman companion was killed with him.. along with the bear that did what comes naturally to grizzlies. Which of course raises the question... is it ok to venture into the domain of animals on your own personal mission to "save" them ..and commune with them in a way that nature never intended?
