Grizzly Man

Timothy Treadwell wants to be a bear and he believes that it is his responsibility to protect the bears in Alaska. The film is extremely entertaining watching Tim play with fox and interact with the bears. The film is comprised of footage that Treadwell shot himself mixed with interviews conducted by directory Werner Herzog. It follows Timothy's career of filming himself camping among the bears, and follows the attention he got with media and his outreach programs. Treadwell gets incredible footage of bears in their natural environment. The film also follows the emotional and psychological progression Treadwell goes through over the years. The film is a message, for the protection of the bears and for promoting Timothy's campaign of preservation and awareness. The film makes its point and is shocking in its explicitness. Timothy's profanities are poignant and compelling, as they come from a hippie like, "child of the universe" kind of guy. The film was political in nature, and does an excellent job of shocking viewers into connecting with his way of thinking.
