I respect this point of view, but it's all a matter of how you interpret it, what implications it has for you in action.

Yeah, I don't buy into that at all. The "tree huggers" in some instances may be somewhat foolish, but I am on their side and I don't know why Herzog takes this position. I do agree with him in...

Of course I don't buy everything Herzog says or thinks! He and I are very different types of people I'm sure, and I find the places he goes strange, but I respect him and I think this is a great...

I respect your uncertainty and it's shared by Herzog, except for the one point. I think it's very clear from Herzog's previous history that he's very attracted to and sympathetic toward quixotic,...

Well, it's your assumption that those who knew him best had nothing but good things to say about him. That isn't the evidence of the film; the picture is more muddled than that. And it remains...

I see what you mean, but given what we know of Treadwell's history, his drug and alcohol problems, which were very serious, and his acknowledged difficulty at funcitoning in society, it's likely that...

There is no need to take offence. I try to keep the dialogue open. I am presenting my point of view, not yours. If you think that is repetitious and boring, that's perhaps because you're not...

I'm not criticizing your grammar but your sentence structure. You wrote: Obviously "how much of" should have been "whether" (necessitated by the use of "or"). But the main problem was that this...

Your slightly garbled sentence makes it unclear whether or not you are presenting an either/or, but clearly living among the bears fulfiled both needs for Treadwell -- to experience his love of...

I see that Grizzly Man came in fourth in the best film category of the Village Voice Take 7 critics poll for 2005.

The truth is often depressing and it is rare that we get it. Important isn't a word I use lightly.

I see your point of view and way of operating, but I still don't agree with your evaluation even though it is positive. I'm very up on this movie.

I'm just now getting gack to this thread. I must not be subscribed to it.

Belated thanks to Oscar for his extravagantly kind words about my review. It's been a while and many other movies since...

All we know of Treadwell's point of view is in the film, which points out he depicts himself as alone to appear, in Herzog's words, "the lone warrior" or "the lone ranger," even when his girlfriend...

1. I don't question your basic reading of the film, but since there are important differences between tragic and pathetic that these comments somewhat blur, I still prefer my word, tragi-comic. "No...

I think I covered most of what you said. But your way of defining the key difference between Timothy and Werner is odd. It's more nature as benign vs. nature as hostile. Treadwell's pretense of a...

An important lesson about man and nature
