MOVIE BLOG

I think that this movie is very interesting and shows how humans can relate to animals to a certain degree. Tim is a very interesting man who you could possibly interpret as a psycho like the helicopter pilot did. Tim shows no fear in bears and stands with them rather than against. What his camera captures is very special and shows the elements of nature. One important lesson he teaches us is that in order to survive with the bears, you must show no fear and stand your ground.

Coincidentally, we find out later in the film that Tim is killed and eaten by a bear that seemed to be more aggressive than the others. Nobody knows why the bear attacked Tim. It could have thought to itself that Tim would taste good, or that it has had enough with Tim. Tim could have become blind by his own work and forgot that he is actually dealing with wild grizzly bears.

One of the natives in Alaska thought very negatively about what Tim was doing with the bears. He believed that bears and humans existed in their own worlds. Therefore a human should not interfere with the bears. He also believes that what Tim did was disrespectful towards the bears. What Tim was doing was a sign of embarrassment to himself.

In my opinion what Tim was doing was completely fine because he was at his own risk and no one else's. What he did takes a lot of courage. He was interacting with nature and the animals. Tim's movie really shows great footage of grizzly bears and of him being part of them.
