Grizzly Man - Timothy Treadwell

The first time I heard that we would watch a film about a person being killing, ripped, and eaten by a bear I was excited yet nervous. I really was quite interested how a bear would kill a human, and how do they kill. Yet I didn't want to see any blood or human remains ripped up. Yes I contradict myself all the time!

Timothy Treadwell... Who is this guy? How is he? Crazy? Bold? A hero?

Well... Timothy is just a normal person like all of us. Been a kid before, been through puberty, and had gotten through peer pressure. Yet some people aren't as lucky as some of us who hasn't walked into the wrong trend. The trend of bullies, drugs, drinks, smoke and so on.

Timothy Treadwell had been an intelligent person, yet he had made a wrong decision in his life what would lead to what he would face in the future.

I think it all started out with not being able to get into a good college.

He would have been a well knowledge young man if he had not met the wrong friends in high school. Treadwell's parents had said that he had been a straight A student until his late high school years.

I believe this might have lead mainly into what his condition was in the end, sort of going crazy. I believe the actions he had, had to be connected with his earlier years. There must have been something that happened that occurred his reaction. It might have been trust, the lack of trust between people that lead him to realize that really in his life, maybe only animals are worth him giving his all, worth trusting and worth caring.

I believe he was strong for what he believed and I feel that there is nothing weird or wrong for standing up for yourself, for what you believe in.

I have a question that still bothers me, why does Timothy Treadwell have the different attitude treated towards him than Jane Goodall? Why do people look at Jane Goodall in awe yet looks at Timothy Treadwell like he is some kind of a crazy person. Even if their ways of working are different it doesn't mean that one is right, the other isn't. Just because the animals they were helping aren't the same doesn't mean the animals are different and therefore the person is different. How about Dian Fossey? She also gave in her all to save the chimps, yet look. In the end, people do not appreciate her trying to save those chimps, they found her an enemy and killed her. What does this mean? I do not understand. There is no difference between these stories, why do they get judged and viewed so differently? Can't we all just look at their hearts in these animals, the heart that they want to put in. I think no matter what they said or did, we still have to be proud for them to give up their lives for those animals. I believe not many of you would make this decision.
