Very boring and forgettable.

Loved the documentary. Very sad ending . What a great man/person though. He was so passionate about wildlife . Alot of people have negative things to say about T.T. , but he was an outcast, he found that connection he was missing with people with animals/bears . I think it was very unfortunate what happened, but i dont think he was "stupid" for what happened. Something different happened that last year . It was a tragic accident . Rest in paradice Treadwell . I will forever speak good on any human that is kind to animals !!!!

The story may be somewhat well-known, what gives it a magical touch is the introspective and documentary tone about a dedicated guardian of nature, his mission and his tragic end that leaves no one indifferent.

Enjoyed it very much. Very outdoorsy and if you love nature.

看《Grizzly Man》得出的一點心得： 人類總是對outcast極為苛刻，極為嘴損。不知道嘴outcast是因為嫉妒他們的勇氣還是嫉妒他們的主體性過強以至於不需要透過他者認同來獲得自身價值感的確立。 總之，我很佩服在這個shit社會中的outcast們。 TA們是極端浪漫主義者。

A truly unique concept and a thought provoking story that I thoroughly enjoyed. The film has a raw, slightly low-fi vintage early 2000's look to it that I love, featuring beautiful shots of nature shot by Timothy Treadwell. It feels at times almost comical, with some of people featured almost seemingly acting or spoof like even though it clearly isn't. Themes range from nature, loneliness, mental health, escapism and ultimately freedom which is what Treadwell found in on way or another.

There were some interesting interviews with business people about grizzlies but the movie focussed less on bears and more on the mental problems of Timothy Treadwell. It looks like his alcohol abuse did some serious brain damage, sad to expose his looniness. He seems to be someone who could lose it and be a danger to human groups. Some loopy female friends, sad that he took one of them with him

I feel for this man ?????????

Somehow this doc that focuses on the hyper-eccentric individual in question ends up being not only entertaining but also a bit heart-wrenching. Herzog however, also communicates the wonderful intentions and impact Treadwell ultimately had.

This is a story about an idiot man who burned out his brain from a previous drug overdose. Not only did he kill himself, but he killed the girl and one of the bears. What is worse is the people who produced this film are making money off it.

A fantastic doco of one man's obsessive nature, taking on mother nature. One of Herzog's better docos.

A true masterpiece. A love letter. A love letter to Nature, to Passion, to Timothy, to bears, to foxes, to Alaska made with humility and respect. Probably one of the greatest animal and nature lover documentary ever.

The best documentary movie ever made!

While I personally don't gravitate towards documentaries, this one did grab my interest as I was aware of the infamous legacy of Timothy Treadwell beforehand. And while I do admit that Grizzly Man is interesting, many of the problems I have with documentaries are also prevalent here. While I did find learning the background of this larger than life person interesting and learning more about his brutal death via his close friends and people close to the case heartbreaking, I couldn't help but feel like the pacing was really slow at times as I also found Herzog's commentary as he interjected his own opinions rather jarring at times. As documentaries go, people who like them will probably really love this one. But as someone who doesn't like documentaries all that much, this really didn't sway my opinion on the genre.

Functions better as a macabrely dark comedy.

Regardless of whether or not you appreciate self-proclaimed bear expert Timothy Treadwell's efforts to protect Alaskan grizzlies from those who want to harm them, you have to admire his passion. In the documentary Grizzly Man, director Werner Herzog culled footage from Treadwell's library and interviewed those who knew Treadwell. The end result is fascinating. Much of the raw footage is riveting as Treadwell mingles with the bears at close range, seemingly keeping them at bay with nothing more than his squeaky voice and patronizing tone, tromping around in the wilderness like Mr Rogers in a blond toupee. The interviews are equally compelling, offering insight ranging from a man with great passion to an idiot playing with fire. Grizzly Man always remains objective and never passes judgement and is well worth seeing.

Approached from many different angles, the story of Grizzly Man is kind of incredible. Now that I have seen it a couple of different times, I am finding that I am drawing very different conclusions about Timothy Treadwell now than I did 5-10 years ago. In some ways, he absolutely seems like a victim and in other ways, he seems to have really done a great of manipulating other people and taking them down with him. Grizzly Man is a must-watch because of Treadwell's complexity and the nuance of the issues which surround him and this story.

Grizzly Man is a sad and maddening documentary. It kept me up all night after viewing it. I share Werner Herzog's interpretation Tim Treadwell was a brilliant but delusional activist (not his words, but the sentiment I picked up). Treadwell wasn't naive--he knew very well he could die out in the wilderness, and seemed to expect it one day. It takes a certain type of intelligence to survive in the bush for 13 straight summers, up close and personal with giant predators. Where his delusion came in is thinking nature is ultimately harmonious and should be benign. I thought Herzog went too far in saying nature is murderous, but agree with his notion nature is chaotic. I would agree more with the Aleut man who criticized Treadwell for intruding on nature. The Aleut people kept a respectful distance from the bears. Nature needs to be recognized as chaotic (not necessarily murderous, as that implies malice intent), and should be respected. Treadwell viewed himself as the lone protector of bears, even though bears can protect themselves and weren't in any particular danger from poachers in the remote national park. We see Treadwell approaching bears who don't seem to appreciate his advances, and at one point rerouting a stream to funnel more salmon into the bears' habitat. My personal theory, based on my unprofessional opinion of Treadwell's apparent bipolar disorder, is that after his confrontation with the Air Alaska employee which sent him angrily back into the wild, he got himself worked up to a point there was no where to go but down. He went back out there in an elaborate suicide attempt. What is unforgivable is he took his girlfriend down with him. Ultimately, it is my opinion the bears became his gods. Multiple times in the movie the interviewees mention he had religious experiences living among the bears. Carl Jung said your religion will eat you alive, and that is what literally happened here. In his delusion he thought he was the bears' savior, and in a perverse sense, it was his intention to become a Eucharistic sacrifice for them. Fascinating, but also deeply troubling.

He was incredible person. But this film is not as good as Timothy was.

Utterly fascinating.
