found all the different opinions interesting.. like the native alaskan who said straight up he was "doing more harm to the bears than help." i agree that he crossed that invisible line where bears stay away from humans and vice versa, but then again the world needs exception here and there and im always at conflict with how i feel when i watch treadwell. so in that sense, this movie makes you look upon yourself without even realizing it at the moment. i love it, i just think its so interesting.

i liked it, found it very touching..but i have to ask, what sense did it make for him to be in Alaska right before hibernation season (around the time he died)? how much protecting would the bears have needed then anyway? i\'m not a grizzly expert by any means, but i found this to be a bit odd. also, had he actually ever really protected any of the bears by being there? seems to me like he was just getting in the way of nature at times.
on the other hand, it told an incredible story and showed a side of human nature that you definatly do not see everyday. also the footage of the bears and Alaskan scenery was incredible
His influence had to do with education of the public... that is how he is helping/will help the bears... regardless of the (curious) choice of time to be there...

Everyone should go out and rent this documentary by Werner Herzog. I\'m sure most of you have heard about it/seen it, and i HIGHLY recommend it.
For those who haven\'t heard anything, it\'s about a man who for 13 years lived in the Grizzly maze of Alaska (four months of each year) and took over 100 hours of footage. His goal was to educate the public, kids especially, on how to protect wildlife, particularly grizzly bears. In 2003, just a day before Timothy Treadwell and his girlfriend were scheduled to end the 13th expedition, they both got eaten by a bear.
Herzog documents the entire life and death of Treadwell through his closest friends, parents, and people who were in someway involved in his life and actions. He definitely captures both sides of any debate and everyone interviewed is unique and extremely well-spoken in their own way. It\'s also visually incredible and Treadwell\'s personal videos are amazing. They explore the world of the bears and the mind of Treadwell who is as entertaining as an individual gets. If you have an affinity for animals like myself you\'ll appreciate his footage.
Go and check it out if you have nothing to do and you\'re bored.
