Nothing in the movie makes any character remotely interesting--excepting their eccentricities, which by no means make them worthwhile characters unless one is watching a doco on wack-jobs and not one portraying mans quest into nature. I did Nothing in the movie makes any character remotely interesting--excepting their eccentricities, which by no means make them worthwhile characters unless one is watching a doco on wack-jobs and not one portraying mans quest into nature. I did not like this film, I did not like Herzog's subjective narration. Treadwell himself was irritating and distracting. And his ex-girlfriend and the coroner were simply horrific--making me only wish they had been with him when he died.

I'm 15 and honestly i think that Timothy Treadwell wasted those 13 years of his life, which eventually ended up in his death. What was the point of him going into a protected environment or government reserve to protect bears? They don't need protection. In my view all the drugs and alcohol he part took in resulted in him coming out of the situation being as one of the pilots described him 'mentally retarded'… Expand

A true example of an American growing up in a delusional world so that he cannot confront his own problems and instead forces them upon nature.

Sad story of a nobody trying to be somebody. He tells us he has successfully studied the bears. What has he learned? To teach children to call one Mr. Chocolate? A true fruitcake!

what a sad, desperate man timmy is, he speaks to the animals like an obnoxious mother talking to her baby: He clearly hates himself, thinks that what he is doing makes him a good person, He talks just to hear himself speak, as though he is what a sad, desperate man timmy is, he speaks to the animals like an obnoxious mother talking to her baby: He clearly hates himself, thinks that what he is doing makes him a good person, He talks just to hear himself speak, as though he is this troubled genius. the best part is when he says that if there is a god, god would like him. I cant believe this movie got such good reviews. Use your brain people.… Expand
