Grizzly Man

This was really kind of perfect. There is just something so unbelievably striking about Treadwell’s footage, especially in the quiet and solitary moments. Honestly, Treadwell was probably a better filmmaker than any sort of actual ecologist which makes the moments where he is not talking quite a bit better than when he is.  Every potentially irritating moment of arrogance, paranoia, or recklessness on camera is immediately countered by something else so quietly powerful and beautiful that you can’t help but understand him a little bit (despite the genuine criticisms of him that are warranted). These are images that are just so rare to be seen by a person and every second of it is fucking incredible to watch pass— If I was seeing what he was capturing every single day, I’d probably want to keep on doing that too. Maybe not for 13 summers but at least for a little while.
