I have this sense that Herzog saw Treadwell somewhere and kind of just asked who is this man, what drives him to do what he does or did and set out to answer it. He provided with an un-biased look into his life, into who Treadwell was. Although there are some negative opinions on him in the film such as the pilot that said he deserved to die. There are many who simply saw him as a man with a goal in mind. Whether he went about it the right or wrong way isn’t really the point of the film and I do feel like that is left up to the viewer hence why Herzog provided us with many different viewpoints from various people. Although it should be taken into account that Herzog tends to focus on people who are borderline obsessive, and towards the end Treadwell did seem to be consumed by his work. The outcome of this work seems to simply be a truth full semi biopic of Treadwell who sadly didn’t have the time to really represent himself or put out his own words on what he did or why he did it. He left his mark and that speaks out to what he set out to do, Treadwell wanted to recreate himself for the better and he sure did. Going from whatever troubled life he had previously held, to teaching children in schools for no personal gain. He brought attention to the bears, and shed some more positive light on them. There is a bit of a tale of caution within, Herzog specializes on these obsessive subjects for a reason. There is a definite outcome of educating viewers on who Treadwell was as a person in an honest light, there is a cautionary tale within that can be seen through Treadwell’s unedited work. That of a man consumed by his work in search of something more, he had a great heart but like the local native had stated. There Is a line that he eventually crossed and sadly ended in a gruesome death. I don’t think Herzog wants to discourage anyone to be an activist or attempt the work Treadwell did. If anything, he may be seeking to get people to see what he did and be inspired by him as a person with all the good and bad that we come with as people, flawed in nature but very capable. What I gather from the film is that people should seek to have an impact like Treadwell did but to also become informed and understand the impact they are trying to have and how to interact with whatever they may be getting into.
