our common weakness

The flashback tells the story of an ordinary person who was frustrated and returned to the countryside. Different from the same style that is full of poetry, tranquility and healing, this pastoral garden is not an explosion in the circle of friends under the fence of picking chrysanthemums. The loneliness and arrogance of the lone boat, the savior plot of the lone boat, the self-movement of being crushed into dust, the self-salvation achievement of the prodigal son, etc. are a mixture of Don Quixote-style knightly pastoral fields. All kinds of pretentiousness are nothing more than the meaning he finds for his life. Moving himself, moving others, and fighting injustice became the purpose of his life. Just like a diary can always be sentimental, Tim has developed a performative personality in front of the camera. He recorded multiple versions of the same scene, which is the norm in the film and television industry (and maybe even news production), but once exposed to the audience, everything in front of the camera becomes false, which is even the director's despicable place. The biggest achievement of the film is that it does not focus on the story, but analyzes Tim's personality from different angles, and sublimates a story that was originally vulgar and curious into a hole to spy on our common weaknesses. Tim's all kinds of affectation, which sentence did not appear in our minds raving. The alternate cut on the film is a lie, a falsehood, and a truth, a different version of the same reality, a truth obscured by the ignorance of the audience. Reflection, not only performance, performance is the weakness of human nature, so is to take performance seriously. Weaknesses may be stronger than strengths, and one theory suggests that belief in virtual beliefs is the cornerstone of human society beyond the scale of animal societies. In the abstract, Tim died for faith, tragedy, fate, heroism, strengths, weaknesses?

    Treadwell uses the word "love" a lot, which somehow reminds me of Michael Jackson's frequent mention of "love" in "That's It". In addition, I recommend the ending song of this film - Coyotes

    Although Timothy Treadwell has some character flaws, part of the reason for choosing such a life is to escape reality. But if a better life than the present is in sight, why not run away?

Grizzly Man quotes

  • Werner Herzog: [to Jewel, after he listens to the audio tape containing the violent death of Timothy and Amy. He is clearly shaken] I think you should not keep it, you should destroy it. I think that's what you should do, because it will be the white elephant in your room all your life.

  • The coroner: It was on his wrist.
