Grizzly Man
Rating = B
This documentary movie has some
beautiful video of Alaskan scenery and bears, and it clearly shows that
Timothy Treadwell was nuts in some sense. But even with all of
Teadwell's video footage (right up to the time he was eaten by a
grizzly bear) and all of the interviews with people who knew him, the
director can't make him an attractive character — he was apparently
determined to behave in life threatening ways and to show only his
nutty side while doing so. The movie also gives us no hint how he got
so obsessed with bears other than that he had a teddy bear as a child.
