Yes, I thought it was masterfully done.
Herzog expresses that as an experienced film director, he has seen the kind of madness and insanity that we see Treadwell go through. He does not approve of what he does, and yet there is, in a sense, kind of a kinship.
I grew up in Alaska (26 years) & everyone there knows these aren't grizzlies, there Brown bears, with their bellys full of sammon...
It took this idiot 8 years to work up a nerve to get close enough to start filming...
I fished the rivers & creeks along side these bears since I was about 8 years old & as long as you leave them alone they left you alone...
But thats brown bears, grizzlies don't want nothing to do with humanes...
Although smaller, pound for pound, a grizzly can easily kill a moose or caribou, that of course a brown bear never has to do...
This idiot wouldn't have made it a year documenting grizzlies...
I've hunted in denaily were the Toclat grizzly roam & killed moose & caribou in his back yard & could go on about these grizzlies, but you would not believe the bone yard that lays in there...
Even though, I'm suprised this fool lasted as long as he did...
They call this documentary grizzly man only because they know how vicious a true grizzly realy is...
