Grizzly Man, Werner Herzog(1942) With it’s down to earth yet crazy images and footage of Timothy Treadwill, grizzly man has came to be my favorite documentary. With Werner Herzog editing, he brought some flaws and great moments Tredwill experienced while entering alaska .With just the footage alone i came to my own opinion of Mr Treadwill. Although obsessive, Mr. Treadwill was not selfish. I firmly believe he did his actions to relate to bears and gain exposure of the animal to further come up with ways to help the species. Being an animal lover i came to understand Mr Treadwills obsessive behavior of his beloved bears. Nobody saw what he saw and nobody felt what he felt. One can only imagine what was going through Treadwills head but not judge negatively upon it. In the future i would like to take action to be a animal conservationist to help the endangered species. We live in a reality that most humans are the ones either destroying the animals habitat or causing harm to the animal for our selfish wants. This document shed light on some problems us humans can cause or face when it comes to the animal kingdom.
I agree with you on this. Some would say that Treadwill was crazy and obsessive but he was. He was a good crazy, and a good obsessive. Did these traits of his personality get him killed? Well this is debatable. some could argue if he wasn’t so obsessed with bears that he would have been alive today but then some can say if he didn’t get obsessed with his fascination of bears that he might be sprunf by something else. that something else being alcohol. Treadwill states that he used to be an alcoholic and programs didn’t help him. Life of bears interested him enough to stop drinking. “miracle was animals”, treadwill is saying the livelihood of animals is what caused him to take his own life serious. I, myself have a weird obsession with snakes. i’m scared of turtles but want a pet snake, guess that says something doesn’t it? But I guess everyone has that one dangerous thing that sparks a fire in them which causes them to get a better understanding of it. You said that you want to an animal conservationist and I think that’s amazing, just don’t get killed by your own animals.
