Review of Grizzly Man (2005) by Annelies S — 12 Sep 2008
Amazing!!!!!!! I didn't know about this guy until a Flixster friend recommended me this docu last week.
It touched me like no other work ever did. The docu shows the madness and obsession of this man. He didn't like humans (he loathed most of us). I do not share that with him but I do share the love for animals although I would be too afraid to come close to an unprotected bear. Like him I keep saying "I love you" to my cats a few times a day, brushing their fur, kissing their wet nose and listening to their purring. Timothy Treadwell did that to "his" foxes. I felt horrible when hunters threw stones at his lovely friend! It must have broken his heart!
At some point in the movie we hear that Treadwell started to drink alcohol before he started his mission. During his own shoots he still screams his loathing into the camera lens, so wildly that director Werner Herzog talked through most of it. Indeed Treadwell must have been a dangerous creature when being drunk seeing his temper when he was sober!
But I still like the man because his heart is with the animals, it was in the right place and my heart did hurt while watching this docu.
Rest In Peace Timothy Treadwell & friend.
