The film Grizzly Man, was very sad with the result. Timothy Treadwell, also known as grizzly man, was killed as a result as this film, which made watching it rather distrubing. Treadwell was a grizzly bear lover, but seemed to have been a little too comfortable with these wild animals. In the beginning of the film, Treadwell is standing in a open field, filming these animals when all of the sudden one approaches him. Treadwell stated that he was holding his ground and earning the respect of the bear by not running away. I could not even imagine being in a field with a grizzly bear and being that close. He even said that these bears could kill him, but still continued to get up close and personal. Another instance that comes to mind is when Treadwell gets in the water with the bear. This just goes to show the viewers that he spent so much time learning about these animals that he somewhat defined himself as one; he had to mutate into a wild animal.
Treadwell even went to the extremes of naming the grizzly bears. There was one that was named "The Grinch" and another that was named "Mr. Chocolate." This was his way of identifying these animals and giving them a personal representation. One of the rescuers idnetified the bear that killed Treadwell by indicating that he looked mean. This just shows everyone that the grizzly bears had different personalities that were picked up by Treadwell. I believe in this quality that animals have different personalities. Every pet that I have owned has had a different personality than the other, which makes each of them very unique.
Timothy Treadwell was a very brave individual who never wanted to see a grizzly bear be harmed. One of the rescuers in the film stated that "Tim never wanted to see a bear be killed, even if they killed him. He said that Timothy would rather his body not be found because that would mean that the bear would be killed as a result. I think this is silly. I respect his love for animals, but only to a certain extent. It was mentioned in the film that he felt like death was the only way that he could get his message across.
