Review of Grizzly Man (2005) by Leslie L — 05 Feb 2010

It was like watching a person lose their last few cogs. Someone really should have talked to this guy about staying on his Lithium. My summary ASIDE from that? Man likes bears more than people. Man says to self, "I know! I'll go live with grizzlies in Alaska every summer.

..and I'll talk to them as though they are toddlers...and I'll film it all and say it's for the good of the animals' survival!". He then befriends a fox (who gets a huge reprimand for stealing his hat), fondles bear crap as he's so wowwed that it's a part of her, has obscenity-filled verbal diarrhea as he rants about federal agencies which have somehow wronged him by expecing him to follow the rules while on federal land, and then it happens.

Even the bears have had enough of him. He's dinner. If they'd cut out the interviews with his off the wall friends throughout the film, and replaced it with more background about when he snapped, it would have been a bit more interesting.

Dian Fossey he wasn't, that's for sure.
