TrueJoshNight Truly Dreadful Film

Clarissa Mora The tone of this movie is interesting -- the stakes are both dramatic and high, but it's balanced with a lot of fun, tongue and cheek dialogue.

Lachlan Coulson This is a gorgeous movie made by a gorgeous spirit.

Marva It is an exhilarating, distressing, funny and profound film, with one of the more memorable film scores in years,

cricketbat A well-done documentary about a man who was killed by the very thing he loved. It's not easy to watch, especially knowing how it all ends, but it's fascinating to witness the work of this unique and arguably unstable man.

jdhanks This guy was a idiot. He was a murderer flat out. He got his girlfriend Killed. This film makes him out as a hero but he was a idiot murderer. Despite his stupid beliefs he could not control grizzly bears! is was a interesting film only to see how he was able to survive as long as he did without getting killed. He was a idiot. Herzog and the chick he left everything to was only after making money! that was obvious. They continue to support a murderer since he got his girlfriend killed along with his stupid self. He was just lucky for 12 or 13 years and his stupid believes finally ran out. What ashamed for his girlfriend but not him. He got what his stupid believes deserved. Being turned into bear crap .!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

George Roots (GeorgeRoots) "Grizzly Man", should be a documentary that by many standards shouldn't work this well. Of course there's enough substance to make a decent enough made-for-television kind of documentary, and Discovery channel sought of did with the follow up "The Grizzly Man Diaries" in 2008. But thanks to the exceptional craft of Werner Herzog, who extracted more than 100 hours of footage shot by Timothy Treadwell. Makes "Grizzly Man" one of the best documentaries of the 2000's you should definitely see.Timothy Treadwell, a man known of questionable mental health in the past. Spent 13 summers in Katmai National Park and Preserve, Alaska studying bears. Over time he believed the bears trusted him, and would allow him to approach them, sometimes he would even touch them. Treadwell continued to document his time with them in order to raise public awareness and then return back to the park, despite repeatedly being warned by park officials that his interactions were unsafe to both him and to the bears. Tragically in 2003 at the end of his 13th visit, he and his girlfriend Amie Huguenard were attacked, killed and partially eaten by a bear. After getting various permissions from Timothy's closest friends and fellow enthusiasts, Herzog crafts and narrates his movie. Barely scolding Timothy for any of his actions, Herzog's interests are showing what Timothy was striving for and interviewing those closest to him. My favourite moments is where Herzog comes to admire many of the shots that Timothy created, and his constant retakes show some elements of a natural film-maker. Unfortunately as the film progresses, there really is no small sign of common sense in Treadwell's mind that his encounters with these animals will inevitably kill him. As Herzog expertly deduces that when looking into the eyes of an animal, all you can see is the cold, indifference of nature (Remember that Herzog's exploits in the Jungle are legendary).Final Verdict: The wildlife footage Timothy shot is pretty dam fantastic and Werner Herzog does justice to a man's work, albeit a reckless one. Everything is done in respect and I thoroughly recommend it. 8/10.

SpannersGerm669 Werner Herzog has created something truly brilliant here. Timothy Treadwell, a crusader for Grizzly bears, puts his life on the line for his love of these magnificent animals. This documentary details his life and mission right up until the fateful day where he and his girlfriend were attacked and killed by a rogue grizzly.Whether or not you agreed with what Treadwell was doing, you have to admire his passion. The documentary details this passion perfectly and you get the impression that he feels more connected to the animals he was studying, over human beings, but unfortunately tested the boundaries a bit too much, ultimately paying with his life. Its a sad tale of one man's mission to do what was right, but underestimating the power of nature.Herzogs non biased approach allows the viewer to make their own mind up about this unique human being, which makes it a brilliant film from a brilliant filmmaker!
