Grizzly Man; Treadwell and Herzog

Nature is the name point in the movie Grizzly Man. Treadwell and Herzog have almost completly different views of nature and I can relate to both of them in different ways, so I related to both of them. I completly understand where Herzog is coming from when he states that Treadwell over stepped his bounderies. I relate to this because I do not see the point of going to extremly dangerous places to try and save and protect these bears because nature has its own mind and to me, going out and trying to train wild animals to like you, and come close to you and not hurt a person is not save for the bears more than Treadwell not being there would.

I also though, do see Treadwells point of view. He wants to save nature and help be apart of that and that is extremly amazing for a person to do, yet he doesnt think of him sefl as he person he looks at himself more apart of the human and nature world. I can relate to him in the way of wanting to better than bears and protect them, but it is not a realistic thing to be doing. He knows that these bears can hurt him yet he still goes ahead and gets way to close to them and puts all his trust in them that they won't hurt him, yet they are wild animals.

I do not lean more to one person in the film more than the other because I understand and recognize where they are both coming from. Treadwels views on nature are astonishing to me yet I still have this thought in the back of my mind that is thinking like Herzog and how it i wrong to be doing what Treadwell is doing.

  1. I would also say I'm very conflicted with both views. I think it's important to connect with nature, but there should be a limit and boundry with it. To risk your life with the dangerous creatures are over stepping your boundry.
