Grizzly Man

Timothy Treadwell spent 13 summers in the wilds of Alaska living along with grizzly bears and other wild animals like the fox. He showed his crazy love for the grizzly bear,and he would even be willing to die for them.He believed that he found a way to live in harmony with them without any weapons.Unfortunately, he was attacked by a bear,and finally died for what he loved.

After seeing this film, I was impressed by the video footage shot by Timothy in the first place. He was at the edge of death for very minute when he was in the wildness, which made me think of Deep Ecology, of which he was obviously not a follower though. He greatly raised the public's awareness of protecting grizzly bears at the cost of his now life. He succeeded in reaching his goal if he aimed at causing people's attention. However, I personally believe he'd better think it twice before doing so.

He insisted on his crazy plan though he was warned by the park officials that his action would actually do harm to the grizzly bear. It mad me feel he just did so out of his own interest with ignorance of real impacts on the grizzly bear.Apart from this, I believe there should be better ways to educate people of protecting grizzly bears.
