Living Among the Grizzlies

About the film on Treadwell's encounters with grizzlies:


The way to succeed these days is to do something off the wall but it doesn't mean one has to throw ones life away. The fact that this guy was able to sober up to face a challenge of this sort is inspirational but reckless. Did his girlfriend share his passion or was drawn along out of compassion? One could even say he was responsible for her death and now we're going to celebrate his egocentric prowess. Do we all care enough about bears to watch them share the same plateau, maybe not. Still because of the audacity to live among beasts known to attack humans is reason enough for the curious to go and see the film. One wonders how the man was able to stay off the bear menu for 11 summers.
