An astonishing insight into a troubled human being who sought and found comfort living with wild bears before being killed by one. Watching Treadwell's videos and knowing what eventually happens to him can make for uncomfortable viewing but with Werner Herzog's realistic and unbi...( read more)
Even though the director and star of this film never met, it's impossible to watch Grizzly Man without recasting Timothy Treadwell - mauled to death by one of the grizzly bears he was 'protecting' (in an Alaskan National Park!) - as another of Werner Herzog's crazy dreamer...( read more)
a good docu about a naive paranoid guy that took a girl he knew was afraid of bears into bear county and they both got eaten. despite that he got 13 years worth of close up footage. don't we all hate the human race though?
A rather interesting documentary on Timothy Treadwell, a man with a lot of passion who lived and interacted with bears in Alaska for 13 summers. Treadwell is a unique character who has lived a rather full life. At times he does seem a little disconnected and unstable, which is ...( read more)
ive seen this film 3 times now and each time it entertained the heck out of me. herzog is obviously a master filmmaker, but treadwells story is also so interesting that it doesnt get old. the man was insane, but to see a man believe so much in what he was doing is oddly inspiri...( read more)
This is a celebration of psychosis, loneliness, and insanity. I think that Timothy needed the bears more than the bears needed him. Very unusual in the fact that it highlights human weakness rather than human strength like LITTLE DEITER did. It's a great film though, and I loved ...( read more)
Yikes. What a crazy film. Don't know what to do about it. I found myself laughing a lot even though I probably shouldn't. Definitly interesting, but I still beleve that no documentary should go beyond the hour and a half mark...
I've been watching quite a few documentaries lately, and this one stands out the most for me. Werner Herzog manages to capture on camera the extremely eccentric behavior of Treadwell and the unbelievable footage of animal wildlife, making this something you should see at least on...( read more)
Grizzly Man is a haunting and fascinating portrait of so much that is worth exploring: the implacability of nature, the hubris of human endeavor and the line between supreme dedication and madness. full review
Grizzly Man is the strange, sad and mesmerizing tale of a man who wanted to be a bear. full review
Grizzly Man is unlike any nature documentary I've seen. full review
Herzog ... has created something unique and unforgettable. full review
In Treadwell's hearbreaking tale, Herzog finds a near-perfect encapsulation of his career-long obsession with investigating man's thorny relationship with nature. full review
I hate how people say he derservied it or that get got what he was asking for. In truth how is any one man to say weither or not another man should die. and To be eating alive by a bear, no body deserves that. So shame on you people who say such horrable things about a man who did something for the bears he loved.
Who the hell recommended "Spinal Tap" as a movie you would love if you like Grizzly Man? Please think a little before giving suggestions.
