Blog #12

The film Grizzly Man was very interesting to watch. I could not believe how at home Timothy Treadwell felt when he was out in the wilderness with these bears. Any human would think that Timothy was acting crazy during the film, but really he was just treating the bears how they treat each other. Treadwell had so much knowledge about Grizzly Bears he started to even act like them. For example, he would hit the nose of a bear just like a bear would do to another bear. It really showed how much he cared and respected these animals.

Treadwell refers the bear as an individual, and that each bear has its own personality. This really shows when he had pointed out one of the bears being very calm and then another fisty. The pilot also feels this way when he went to go look for Timothy and his girlfriend he had seen a bear, and his first thought was this bear looks mean. Sure enough that was the bear that had killed Timothy Treadwell and his girlfriend.

Timothy had said in this film that he would die for a bear, and that no matter what the circumstances were he would never kill a one. This shows true love for these animals. Not too many people would do what Timothy did, but when you have the love for something like he did torwards bears you would do anything for them. He did this for 13 years, and would go around to different places to teach about them. This is called true dedication. I know that I could never interact with animals like he did, especially grizzly bears, but I have much respect for what he did.
