I initially thought that. When I started watching it, I thought "man what an idiot". Then I gradually started feeling bad for the guy.rstrong wrote:Shouldn't this be in the Food Thread?
He clearly had some underlying issues. Failed actor, drug addiction. Living amongst grizzlies out in the wild became his raison d'être. It became his life. He hated the world of man. But he was also delusional, trying to impose human values upon the wild, which ultimately led to his "suicide by grizzly bear"
Best quote of the documentary:
But once in a while, Treadwell came face-to-face with the harsh reality of wild nature.
This did not fit into his sentimentalized view that everything out there was good, and the universe in balance and in harmony.
Here I differ with Treadwell. He seemed to ignore the fact that in nature there are predators.
I believe the common character of the universe is not harmony; but chaos, hostility and murder.
