Grizzly Man is a 2005 documentary film by German director Werner Herzog.
For Grizzly Man, Herzog used sequences extracted from over 100 hours of video footage shot by Treadwell during the last five years of his life, and conducted interviews with Treadwell's family and friends, as well as experts and authority figures.
The Discovery Channel aired Grizzly Man on television on February 3, 2006; its 3-hour presentation of the film included a 30-minute companion special that delved deeper into Treadwell's relationship with the bears and addressed controversies surrounding the film.

Grizzly Man is a mini-essay on one language of cinema.
Grizzly Man is not just about Timothy Treadwell; it is about man's struggle to understand and control nature, about the impact of the motion picture camera on society, about the value of documentary filmmaking, and about Herzog himself.

 Movie Review - Grizzly Man   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
GRIZZLY MAN, a documentary film directed by the famed German auteur, Werner Herzog, explores the life and gruesome death of amateur grizzly bear expert and wildlife preservationist, Timothy Treadwell.
The film is an entertaining and powerful tale about modern man’s relationship to nature as it follows Treadwell’s journeys to the Alaskan wilderness, where he lived among the grizzlies for 13 summers and grew to love them.
Produced by Lions Gate Films and Discovery Docs, GRIZZLY MAN is a gripping and epic adventure story in the tradition of Jon Krakauer’s Into Thin Air and Into the Wild and Joy Adamson’s Born Free.

 Grizzly obsession that turned deadly
This is the heart-rending true story of a man with a seemingly benign preoccupation that turned into something close to madness and brought him to a terrible end.
He's found a most compelling subject here in Timothy Treadwell, a self-styled friend and protector of grizzlies who was killed, along with his girlfriend, Amie Huguenard, by a rogue bear on the Alaskan Peninsula.

 Grizzly Man (2005): Reviews
It is the rare documentary like Grizzly Man, which has beauty and passion often lacking in any type of film, that makes you want to grab its maker and head off to the nearest bar to discuss man's domination of nature and how Disney's cute critters reflect our profound alienation from the natural order.
While Grizzly Man is never less than a fascinating portrait of a troubled Peter Pan who couldn't function in human society and tried to remake the animal kingdom into his own private Hanna-Barbera cartoon, it fails to establish Treadwell as much more than a serious headcase, let alone a titanic figure.
Which is a shame, because Grizzly Man could have been one of the greatest documentaries put to film.

 Donner's Movie Reviews: Grizzly Man
If Grizzly Man teaches us anything it's that there is a fine line between fascination and obsession and it was a line that Timothy Treadwell crossed with fatal consequences.
There are moments in Grizzly Man that are beautiful and majestic as they show a man deeply in love with nature and then shifts to scenes that are haunting and quietly chilling as we learn that his love comes with no respect for what nature can do to you or those around you.
Grizzly Man at it's most unsettling is when we see Treadwell claim that he would die for his bears over and over again and knowing that he got his wish gives you goosebumps.

The result is “Grizzly Man,” a fascinating documentary examining both the man and reckless genius that compelled him to live within the confines of the dangerously seductive Alaskan wilderness.
The glory of “Grizzly Man” is Herzog’s brutal honesty in probing the naturalist’s legacy and yet still crafting a document that allows the viewer to make up their own mind as to what it all means.
It’s not perfect, but neither was the man it chronicles, and “Grizzly Man” is still the type of human adventure that makes going into the cinematic wilderness more than a bit worthwhile.

 WAG: Werner Herzog's Grizzly Man
Grizzly Man, which examines activist Timothy Treadwell’s life and eventual death living among grizzly bears in Alaska, grabbed attention when it appeared in 2005, largely because its implied violence is so extreme.
Likewise, near the end of Grizzly Man as footage of the bear that may have killed Treadwell and his girlfriend plays on the screen, Herzog tells us, “To me, there is no such thing as a secret world of the bears.
In the Grizzly Man DVD’s short documentary about its soundtrack, Herzog tells a musician that all his films have been “after a deeper truth, an ecstatic truth.” Incident at Loch Ness, directed by Zack Penn, is about a decidedly different kind of truth.

Grizzly Man is almost a kind of “documentary as found art,” and what fascinates most are the layers of unexpected revelation.
The coroner’s on-camera performance is a gem of unwitting self-revelation, a documentary-within-a-documentary, as he lectures and moralizes, admonishes and castigates, like some 1930s public health official warning against the effects of violating the natural order of the animal kingdom.
Grizzly Man is not a wildlife film, though it contains astonishing footage afforded by Treadwell’s intimate proximity to these animals.

"Grizzly Man" is unlike any nature documentary I've seen; it doesn't approve of Treadwell, and it isn't sentimental about animals.
Treadwell was a tanned, good-looking man in his 40s with a Prince Valiant haircut, who could charm people and, for 13 years, could charm bears.
Treadwell got into an argument with an Air Alaska employee, canceled his plans to fly home, returned to the "Grizzly Maze" area where most of the bears he knew were already hibernating, and was killed and eaten by an unfamiliar bear that, it appears, he photographed a few hours before his death.

Grizzly Man could easily have been sensational and exploitative, but in the hands of Werner Herzog, it becomes something extraordinary.
The best reason for watching this film is to take your own message from the man Timothy Treadwell was, regardless if you agree with his passions about the bears, his acceptance of an eccentric life; because from the most pronounced scholars, to the drunk on the street, we all live with ourselves.
One is left with the impression of a man who couldn't establish an emotional connection with other humans, and deluded himself into believing he was finding it in his relationship with the bears...until, of course, he was killed by them.
