Grizzly Man
I saw Grizzly Man tonight. If you're not familiar with the title, then maybe you've heard about that documentary with the guy that lives with the bears. The guy that was eventually attacked, killed and eaten by a bear. Yep, that's the one.
I'd have to say that I wasn't overly impressed with this movie. I've heard a lot of hub-bub and talk about this being the most awesome documentary of 2005. I think I'd choose Murderball hands down any day over Grizzly Man. The movie just wasn't very captivating or interesting to me. The coolest part of the movie, in my opinion, was some footage of two bears attacking each other. Later on, Timothy Treadwell (that guy), explained to us they were fighting over rights to a female. That makes sense. You hear about those kind of things happening often in the animal kingdon (and in the people kingdom too). Those two bears really tore up the place, and each other. At one point one of the bears was under enough stress to "relieve himself".
So other than the bears fighting each other the movie was footage from Timothy talking baby-like to a variety of different animals, ranting and raving about what humans were and weren't doing for the wildlife, and several experts and friends giving their accounts and or stories. I wouldn't say this was a poorly made documentary, I just wasn't into it.
