terrific paranoia

"Grizzly" Timothy Treadwell's story is the most insanely bitter and coveted material in this documentary. A man who walked into the Alaskan wilderness and spent 13 years watching, documenting and protecting grizzly bears was eaten alive by him and his girlfriend. Timothy is a typical child from a middle-class American family. After entering high school, he became a very powerful diver. He is sunny and handsome. After college, the rebellious, dark side of his body was unleashed, he made a lot of friends, his father thought my friends were "bad friends," and then he started drinking, and he started smoking marijuana. Later, he injured his back, and because of this, he lost his scholarship and had to stop his studies and enter the society. He had dreamed of becoming an actor, but he failed. No matter what he did after that, the result was a complete failure. In short, in the human world, he is a piece of shit, maybe even worse than shit. He started drinking like crazy and taking the antidepressants prescribed by the doctor, thinking that maybe one day he would die on the street, but there was nothing he could do. Until one year he went to Alaska with a friend, and after seeing a grizzly bear for the first time, he found the original calling in life. Since then, Timothy has traveled obsessively to Alaska every summer to get a close-up look at grizzlies in the "Great Green" area of ​​Katmay National Park, their favorite habitat. He spends time with the grizzlies, taking photos and videos of them eating, courting, and fighting. The Alaskan grizzly bear is the second largest brown bear among terrestrial carnivores. Males can weigh up to 1,000 kilograms. They are fierce and irritable, and are extremely dangerous to humans. But Timothy never brought any protection, such as self-defense bear spray, when he came into close contact with grizzly bears. "I can't wear pepper spray and claim to love them," he explained. Timothy has an unparalleled passion for grizzly bears, naming every grizzly bear he meets, even daring to touch them and interact with them. Bears play. He traveled to Alaska for 13 years to observe bears and even took his girlfriend to camp with him, saying he was always careful and had built a sense of mutual trust and respect with the bears. He once wrote to people: "These grizzly bears consider me their brother." In October 2003, Timothy took his girlfriend Amy to camping in Alaska again. October is a dangerous month, when grizzlies are most aggressive as they store food and add fat for their upcoming hibernation. Unfortunately, this was the couple's last expedition. On October 6, the pilot of a small plane leased by Timothy arrived over their camp, intending to pick them up. However, the pilot found that the tent was a mess, the people were gone, and there was a 1,000-pound grizzly bear eating something nearby. Rescuers who arrived later found the remains of Timothy and Amy, most of whom had been eaten. The grizzly bear and another juvenile bear were killed, and an autopsy found human limbs and fingers in the belly of the bear. There is no doubt that the couple was attacked and killed by a grizzly bear. In Katmay National Park's 85-year history, it was the first bear killing. Rescuers found a video camera in the torn tent, which contained the contents. The video is so dark that you can't see anything, but the recording is clear: it's all Timothy and Amy screaming and crying. Timothy and his girlfriend were slaughtered by a grizzly bear, which was recorded by a camera before he came and removed the lens cover. He stopped and shouted "run away" to his girlfriend, but his girlfriend didn't leave, but screamed and slapped the grizzly on the head with a frying pan, until he was finally killed. The six-minute scream in agony was so terrifying that anyone who had heard it dared not listen to it a second time. Even the director who later filmed the Timothy documentary suggested that the audio was not suitable for publication. To this day, the audio recording the last six minutes of their lives is still banned worldwide. If this tragedy is thought-provoking, I don’t think it lies in the symbolism of Timothy’s death under the claws of a grizzly bear, but in what his girlfriend’s actions tell us—and I hope Timothy understands before he dies that it’s not about dying for In the fantasy of nature, it is better to die in the care of human nature. The sad story of Timothy, an animal lover, an environmentalist who gave his life to his beloved grizzly bear. But the moment he stepped into grizzly territory, he was actually an intruder. Timothy wants to know who he is and what he wants. He may have succeeded and found himself. The laws of the wild world do not exist in his eyes, he is romantic. The way to deal with dogs Come to deal with the grizzly, but that's not your own backyard. Is it worthy of respect? I don’t think so, only pitiful! Intervening with the performance of paranoia will naturally suffer backlash, and the old bear before hibernation told him with blood: The other bears didn't eat you not because they loved you, but because they weren't hungry enough! Tradwell's tragedy, presumably the law of nature punished his ego, seemed to have anticipated it. In the video clips he shot for himself, "death" was one of the words that appeared most frequently, and Amy, his girlfriend who died with him, once said that he was "death-seeking". Perhaps for him, rather than being mediocre in society, it is better to pass death in the wilderness and become immortal.

  • Sam Egli: That bear, I think, that day, decided that he had either had enough of Tim Treadwell or that something clicked in that bear's head that he thought 'Hey, you know, he might be good to eat.'
