Timothy Treadwell was an inexperienced actor. He dropped out of school due to alcoholism during college. Even after he devoted himself to protecting grizzly bears, he was still trapped in depression (or anxiety) and needed medication in severe cases.
In the last eight years of his life, he left about a hundred hours of film. Except for the three short shots of his girlfriend, most of the time he was alone with the grizzly, watching from a distance or communicating at close range. The final shot was taken a few hours before his death. A hurricane was approaching, and he was still hovering in front of the mirror and reluctant to leave in the gray cloud and squally wind. Afterwards, the grizzly bears attacked the camp in a heavy rain, and the sound of people fighting with the grizzly bear was recorded on the videotape. People only found their stump and a watch that was still moving.
The film consists of several parts, a large number of images left by Timothy Treadwell, memories of relatives, friends, coroners and work partners, and evaluations from all walks of life. There are different perspectives, including life, psychology, ecology, and sociology. The most dazzling part of the film is the state of life of the grizzly bears. Most of the time the behemoths seem to be used to the existence of Timothy Treadwell, and they express themselves in front of the camera. The photographer himself is bold and close to paranoia, and the illusion incarnation of a grizzly bear can only switch back to these shots.
Timothy Treadwell brought us a fascinating world. He repeatedly mentioned that this world would eventually kill people, and he made it true. Some people say that he has crossed a certain line, and it is a bitter fruit for himself. In fact, in front of the boundary, crossing the past to eat the bitter fruit or letting go back to enjoy the life, both choices are the wisdom of life.
And you and me, who will never reach that boundary, are not qualified to comment on right and wrong.
The typo is changed, thank you QIUSHIFEI downstairs.
