Review of Grizzly Man (2005) by Joshua E — 27 Mar 2009

The name gives the wrong impression - Grizzly Man, a documentary about a guy who lived with bears in Alaska - that sounds like a tough bloke. However, Timothy Treadwell is a big softy, an idiot, full of himself and come over as a real a**hole.

The interesting thing is that the film was made mostly using footage Treadwell had taken himself. The Bears and Foxes are amazing, he is annoying and there are interviews with a few loonies, and normal people who found him annoying.

I liked the film. Here is one pathetic man who did something interesting with his life and didn't bother many people. Getting eaten by a bear was a fitting ending.
