This is what happens when you watch too much Disney movies, you become naive about the real world.
If someone insisted on playing on train tracks and dodging trains they would eventually be institutionalized for their own safety. That fool was doing the same thing, and it cost a bear its life.
Sure were a lot of flies there, jeez.
Dude nailed it. Bear thought he was retarded.
“You can’t fix stupid.” Basically what that helicopter pilot said and he ain’t wrong.
Barely any mention of his girlfriend who he essentially killed
> he was acting like he was working with people wearing bear costumes instead of wild animals
Right. Timothy was anthropomorphizing.
> The bears probably thought he was mentally retarded
And… you’re doing it, too. *lol*
What a fuckin’ idiot.
Was the bear high on cocaine?
The guy had balls of steel but was also delusional – so balls of iron.
It’s a bear. It can kill you. Maul you to death. Rip your face off and eat you.
If anyone hadn’t seen the full documentary, Grizzly Man, check it out
Fun Fact: Grizzly man is actually in the Guiness Book of fucking retards
I remember hearing about an audio (off camera) recording of Tim Treadwell (and his gf) being eaten by the bear. I think they left the audio/camera on or something while the bear was eating them.
The guys who had to listen to that recoding must still be having nightmares.
What a moron, talking to these bears like lap dogs. Pilot was on point.
Such a great documentary. People are too hard of treadwell. He didn’t take anything from anyone to go out there and died doing what he loved, it’s a tragedy, preventable of course, but doesn’t make him a bad guy.
Five minutes into that documentary, I was rooting for the bears.
Grizzly Man is a fantastic documentary. Everyone should watch it
One scene that really stuck with me was when Werner Herzog listens to audio of their death, he immediately recommends it be destroyed.
He’s right. Treadwell was a fool.
The weird thing about Tim Treadwell (to me) was his absolute commitment to “protecting these animals” (“I would die for these bears I would die for these bears I would die for these bears!”) when they were already on the protected species list to begin with.
No one was actively trying to hunt them to extinction. Most people wanted to see them rebound.
But he was utterly convinced that he, and he alone, was needed to be the frontline guardian with no training or education to do so. It was really sad to see someone so delusional die for a cause that was inarguably good, yet also inarguably unnecessary.
It definitely wasn’t a healthy situation..

For a more hilarious version
God damn flies
Mr. Chocolate!
Timothy Treadwell definitely became one with the bear.
A terminal case of anthropomorphisation
It does kind of suck that they shot the bear..
I want to know how bears are shooting other bears, dragging them off and eating them. That seems far more important to me.
Okay, it’s definitely mean, and uncalled for, and absolutely cruel.
But man if that “We need to drastically increase the population of bears” letter didn’t make me laugh. That’s pretty evil black humour, but I appreciate it.
He brought his girlfriend out with him and the night they were killed she turned on the audio recorder. It captured his screams and her whimpering and begging to live, followed by her own screams as she was torn apart and eaten alive.
Warner Herzog (who made the documentary) listened to the recording and told the family (not sure if it was the grizzly man’s or the girlfriend’s family) to absolutely not listen and recommended that they destroy the recording.
He does seem to be acting like someone with an intellectual disability…
I’ve got a Cocaine Bear ad in the sidebar as I’m reading this thread… nice.
reminds me on the movie night of the creeps, when tom atkins describes, how he found his murdered girlfriend: “i found her in the car, on the street and in the woods.”
I can bearly watch this
Ah yes, the idiot bear guy. Sad end to a dumb life. He loved the animals, but never really respected them.
I’m surprised it wasn’t the mosquitos that ate him.
The lady is confusing religious experience with a spiritual one. Treadwell feeling he needs to mutually mutate into a wild animal to survive is not religious…that’s spiritual.
“He got what he deserved” seems a bit harsh. Guy makes it sound like Treadwell was banging his wife.
My reddit is advertising the up and coming movie “Cocaine Bear” on this post. Fucking Lol
You either respect nature or it eats you. Nature loves to eat stupid people. He obviously had mental problems, IMO, and was deluded as to his place in that environment and it cost him and his friends lives.
Every interview with anyone who wasn’t close to him verges on the comedic with how bluntly they thought he was an idiot.
The movie itself almost reads as a Christopher guest movie. It truly made me laugh multiple times.
Hell even the bit that Herzog does at the end burns the hell out of Timothy.
Love the Documentary; dude was truly out of his mind but fascinating to watch.
