The "director" of this film is Werner Hertzog, you may remember him from such classics(and I mean classics) like Aqirre the Wrath of God and Fitzcaralldo. During the making of Fitz a large number of local Amazonians were killed through accident and disease ,the rain forest for hundreds of miles was destroyed and a war broke out (rumoured to be started by Werners fiunds as he was having problems wih local polititions). No major movies were allowed to be filmed in the Amazon for years after Werner blew threw the area. He ain't no

Saw the trailer and the guy was a nutcase. This is what happens when people think that humans and wild animals can cross the lines and everything will be buddy buddy. Well of course you can't. Wild animals are wild and given the right inevitable curcumstance, predators will display their wild nature and the results aren't pretty. Look at the lion/tiger training duo in Vegas, same deal. Time is all it takes. Treadwell was dead a long time before that day, he just didn't know it. The movie looks ridiculous, I'll pass. My $0.02 worth.

I saw a trailer of this. It only took me a few seconds to realize that this guy must have had the IQ of a box of chocolates. Grizzlies are not toys and I can't believe that he was touring schools with a sort of "hug a Grizzly today" message (feel free to correct me on this CGNers if I'm off base here)

I just hope that people who waste their money watching this will only remember the final score; Grizzlies 2, Treadwell 0.

It's a shame that the woman died as well, in, I believe, an attempt to save his life.
 
This was on Discovery Channel not too long ago, maybe a month ago....a whole two hours of "grizzly man". There were some GREAT shots of the bears, but the guy was indeed a total nutcase. During the time where the director got to listen to the audio of treadwell getting eaten alive, he told the ex girlfriend of Treadwell to burn the tape so no one else could listen to it....apparantly you could hear the chick screaming as well and the sounds of her hitting the bear on the head with a frying pan.

The real tragedy of this man and his self proclaimed role as "Protector of the Grizzly" (Thats if we all ignore that most of those bear were in a wild life preserve ) is that he routinely lectured to inner city American children, complete with HIS edited version of his video journals. Talk about misinformation. "Come on kids lets all go swim with mr choclate".

I think Treadwell should get the top prize for the Darwin award (darwinawards.com).

oh yes indeed. I watched a prieview on this and he was tapping the bear on the head while it was in the water. All I can say is natural selection....
 
I prefer the documentary on the guy who built the grizzly proof suit......and let his buddies hit him with a truck while wearing it to see if he could withstand the force of a charging griz......that was a show.

Can't remember this guys name but he was an entertainer.....

Saw it on Discovery a week or so ago. With all due respect, the guy was a fool. He fooled himself into believing that grizzly bears are just misunderstood, peaceful, vegetarians. He fooled his girlfriend into tagging along to be killed and eaten. He fooled schoolchildren into thinking that it's safe to be in close contact with bears. The inevitable happened.

The guy had a Bambi complex about animals. He's sitting there on the ground crying over a half-eaten fox kit. He doesn't connect that other foxes eat different animals. He doesn't sense that the bears were simply sizing him up, as they would an animal they'd never had much contact with. One guy said it best; he did not respect the bears, and he did a disservice to people and bears in that now more bears have less fear of people and may more readily attack people.

Too bad he died, and he died a horrible way I wouldn't wish on anybody. He may have been a wonderful, sweet soul, but he lived in a fantasy world.
 
I remember seeing that twit before he got munched.I was thinking how long before we here about this moron getting eaten by a bear,it was about a year later.The most surprizing thing to me was that he had a girlfreind rather than a boyfreind.

I pisses me off that he died,..... Without setting up cameras for all to see the event unfold. Some good information was missed out on. Like table manners of grizz in the wild.:)

Ya.....I gotta agree with ya. I watched that idiot prance around #####in at society about the bears being misunderstood vegetarians.....all along, I'm awaiting the grand finale...(C'mon c'mon...when are they goona eat this dude, I'm asking myself.)

....Alas....no finale...no munching.....no grizzly table manners....

...I feel completely blue balled!!
 
The reason they cut out and destroyed the audio was because he pleaded to god to please make the bear a christian just before he died!

And God answered his plea,and what was cut out was the bear saying(thank you Lord for this meal I am about to recieve!).
