Grizzly Man

I enjoyed watching Werner Herzog’s documentary called Grizzly Man. It depicted the life of Timothy Treadwell whose fascination of animals, especially the bears, led him to his death. In the film, Herzog, used actual footage of Treadwell’s encounters with the animals, as well as interviews of people who were close to him. Treadwell spent much of his time in Alaska, protecting the bears from poachers and risked his life in guiding the bears, as well as having human contact with them. In the end of the film, Herzog, shows Treadwell being followed by the bears, and strangely, it seemed as if Treadwell was worried by it, and knew that his life was endanger. I found Treadwell to be a disturbed person, who must have been suffering from some type of mental illness. The movie itself showed how crazy and profound Treadwell was along with all the people who knew him. I feel that Treadwell wasted his life away and felt really sorry for him.
