Grizzly Man

TVAD, I certainly can appreciate your perspective. It is beyond irony, beyond questions of taste, and all about insight. My point was about tapping into a penultimate moment that brought this guy to a very real completeness. It may not be for everyone -that's for sure. I did not mean to imply that it would be enjoyable, just instructive. We're talking about somebody that was enamoured with and played with fresh fecal matter from a bear and became truly one with the bear. His final moments may show an otherwise unknowable facet of his unique existence.

Who cares a flip about awards? - oh yeah, the director and people that are marketing the thing. That's always a great guiding principle for artistic expression.

The scene of the director listening to the tape in Grizzly Man's ex's house is one powerful viewing experience. When he tells the ex that she should destroy the tape, I got chills. That's as close as I want to be to that sad, lost man's death. Damn shame he caused the grizzly to have to be killed, too. Narcissistic is the only way, I think, to describe this guy.

By the way, anyone see Step Into Liquid and Riding Giants? Stupendous docs that just make you feel exhilerated. I now wanna be a surfer! (OK, maybe just body surfer.)
