The film consists of Treadwell's own footage of his interactions with grizzly bears. And a variety of interviews with people who knew or were involved with Treadwell. The film talked about how Treadwell spent 13 summers in Katmai National Park in Alaska. The film showed that over time, Treadwell believed the bears trusted him and that they allow him to approach them. In the film it showed how he would sometimes touch them. I think that Treadwell was a little bit crazy, by getting so close to the bears in the first place, and for another actually touching them.
I found the different opinions from the interviews about Treadwell to be interesting. The Native American Museum worker mentioned that Treadwell insulted the bears by trying to be one and by getting so close to them in their territory. The pilot which was on of Treadwells friends said that Treadwell, was a great man, but he was foolish to try to live so close to grizzly bears. He did say that he knew Treadwell would have wished he wouldn't have found him and that he would have been content with dying from a bear attack.
I found the Grizzly Man film to be very interesting. I never knew that a man once lived in the wild as Treadwell did with grizzly bears. I did find it interesting how Treadwell was able to talk to the bears and actually touch them without being bitten by one of the bears. I find it very unfortunate for Treadwell and his girlfriend to have died from a bear attack. But to be honest I feel like many people knew that it would probably happen one day when they ran into a wrong untamed bear.
