Watching Grizzly Man was.....interesting to say the least. Timothy was definitely a character. Although we still have to finish the film, I liked that the director included personal confessions from Timothy himself that gave more context to his character. At some point, I felt like he needed more credit and respect that he found a way to get out of his alcoholism...in a very unorthodox way. He felt that he was making a difference and protecting the Bears. He went to schools and raised awareness with no charge. Yes, he was f****** crazy but who are we to judge him? He knew what he was getting himself into. Unlike almost everyone on the planet, he chose that lifestyle. We can say all we want about how crazy it was and how stupid he was and blah blah blah. But like he had hauntingly said, "I will die for the Bears."
I mean it's sad to know that he died but I'm sure he even knew that was going to be his end. The crazies always are remembered more in history anyways, right? He wanted to be a Bear! He didn't want to be human anymore but it is SO human to care THAT much for an animal.....who can literally rip your damn face off. But in the end, a beast will always be a beast. This isn't a Disney movie for Christ sake. But damn, you can't deny the pure happiness he felt. And that, in the most basic sense, is all it takes for some people.
