So I just watched this documentary called "Grizzly Man" and its the story of Tim Treadwell. Tim Treadwell was know for his personal documentation of time living with wild Grizzly Bears.

After watching the film I came to the conclusion that this guy is nothing more then a strung-out extreme environmentalist with serious emotional problems. It just seemed to me all this guy was trying to due was live off of the the fame of extreme method of documentation of these wild bears, he did make it on Letterman. This guy was no doctor or scientist it just seemed like was he was some burnt out drug attic trying to find some kind of meaning for his life because he couldn't function in a normal society. He seem only concerned about his popularity and on going rage against society as a whole.

During his personal documentations he would have these sciatic moments of rage and anger. It could been one of the oddest things I have ever seen. This guy would rave how he was doing some much good by documenting this bears but from what I could tell there were no scientific reasoning for some of his documentation. He was just kind of there doing nothing. Well long story short the guy shockingly gets ate by one of the bears and what the really sad thing is he a had girlfriend with him soon to be ex-girlfriend who also lost her life.

Has anyone else seen this film and what did you guys think about it? That could have been one of the stupidest guys I have ever witnessed. If you ask me the bear that they shot and killed for Treadwell's death got the raw end of the deal for just being a grizzly bear.

Rerun on now and I saw most last night. Not away to die. And his nice little friend same way. I'm not sure what he was trying. But trying to live with bears that's NUT's. And it was just a matter of time before what happen did.

How many ways to spell Moron. Treadwell gave a whole area of bears no reason to fear humans. Bears eat their own cubs when they're hungry enough. Television is straight in the toilet when that exhibition is touted and wins awards as well as 24hr news diarhea. One lesson learned "Don't do Drugs" Man was he stupid.

Somebody had to finance this guy for 13 years because the resources and supplies for him to film and live must have cost a bundle. He never charged any thing for his services and his poor girlfriend died the way she most feared, eaten by a bear. The people propping this Schmuck were almost laughable except for the guy who said he was breaking all kinds of laws, both of man and nature and deserved what happened. This guy was lunch waiting to be served.

No doubt...the people propping Tim most likely knew what the fate of this dumbass woud be and probably thought they could profit from the sale of his story

I watched all of about the last 15 min. last night

I agree with the board's stance. Nothing by a drug addict playing a con.
His own friends say he was a liar and he would lie right to the camera. Aimee was with him last two summers.

When Tim was playing in the bear $hit, I thought that entertaining

What about that coroner and his ex-girlfriend. His ex looked like she was tripping everytime they interviewed her, and the coroner :com: :com:

Oh yeah, Tim was a closet 'homo', he just didn't want to admit it. If he would have come out, alot of his problems could have been diverted.

I'll end with this............




I wonder what happened to "Timmy, the Fox?"
Maybe that is a sequel in the making

I give it a C-, Timmy the Fox and the Bears did a hell of a job acting!!!

From what I know about the guy he was a failed actor that was trying to desperately to get noticed and at one point in the film he wrote a letter even saying the way for people to hear about me is to die while doing this observation. The guy was a complete wack, he knew the bears that didn't EAT him were leaving and making room for the bears that WOULD rip his body apart. NOW.... All this aside, there was video of him getting mauled and for the guy doing the DOCUMENTARY not to include that footage?? Then to give it to this mans ex-girlfriend and say destroy it?? I blame the bears, they should have eaten him well before that, and the movie would have only been about 30 mins.

Cheers

I saw parts of it, he was a wacko. getting that close to bears was his way of playing russian roulette. and his companion was just as guilty, so being sorry for her is useless. if you put yourself in a dangerous situation long enough you recieve what you're looking for.
