Yesterday evening, I watched a Disney film with some of my friends for a nature project in class. It was amazing to watch some of the majestic views and visions of nature taking its course. In a sense, it was a like a real-life Lion King being filmed without the animals' knowledge. It was inspiring and educational to watch the true laws of nature govern. The strong tend to survive and lead on, while the weak can often be abandoned or sacrificed for the greater good of the tribe. And while this may seem awfully terrible to us humans, it is simply the world where the strongest prevail, and every creature does what it must to stay alive and procreate as long as possible.
It definitely was a stark contrast to the nature displayed in "Grizzly Man." While Treadwell attempted to show nature in a domestic way, in which animals and human beings can live in harmony in the wild, and as if animals can learn to establish connects with humans in the general form, real footage of animals shows the near impossibility of this.
Can nature be beautiful and destructive at the same time? Absolutely. There are so many things we do not know, especially about the animal psyche. Perhaps we are not meant to know and understand these things, however. Perhaps we are separate for a reason, and Treadwell found that out the hard way.
