Grizzly Man was my favorite film that we watched in class . I admired Treadwells passion and determination to understand the grizzly bears . I am an animal lover and I love exotic animals . I think that we must understand that Treadwell had a darker past than what it may have appeared ! He lost a scholarship . He was involved in alcohol and drug addiction . I think his new calling was a connection to how he truly felt inside . Misunderstood ! The bears are seen as vicious and fearful but Treadwell wanted to understand them , live them and protect them . He died loving what he did and he was aware of the danger . His passion became his reality and he shouldn’t be judged for it. I love how the film was realistic. However I disliked the fact that instead of people trying to continue Treadwells study they became very fearful. The scene where the men were throwing rocks at the bears showed that the bears are used to being provoked . The only human interaction they know is when there lives are being threatened . How else would they react to someone who genuinely wants to be around . We need to take into account humans are the most priveleged . Yet when we act and invade their space we feel as if the animals shouldn’t react in the manner they do . We know right from wrong where as animals goes off of instincts . I think the way he died was tragic but he died by the hands of his passion. When someone wants to be a doctor and lawyer we encourage that, what’s the difference by understanding an exotic species . After all humans are more destructive than animals are . Yet we aren’t portrayed as the predator. In reality, any situation can go wrong. It’s up to you too see if it’s worth it.
