The Grizzly Man Summary

The Grizzly Man is an odd person. He seems to care for the bears that are without a doubt. Is he helping or hurting the bears though? Well, we know that people know of his presence in bear country, and we know that they set out and look for him, sometimes finding him.

The combination of trying to shoot a documentary and trying to win people over to the idea that we need to help them rarely work out. On one hand, you are showing a video in which bears are killing, in which he talks of the danger of these bears, he speaks of their furiousness, their veracity; and on the other hand, you are trying to teach people that the bears themselves are in danger.

They are two conflicting viewpoints, and they have trouble coexisting. This tends to lead to a lot more confusion about bears, and rather than the documentary answering questions about the bears in just creates more, and after all is
