Grizzly Man


I just watched this movie last night. There are worse ways to spend 2 hours of your life. You MUST watch the 50 minute "added feature" of the making of the soundtrack. Incredible "live" footage of Richard Thompson and other assorted studio cats practicing their craft. Amazing footage, Richard Thompson is a very gifted man.

One interesting dude, however. Man, would I have loved to hear the tape that he gave to his Ex. The one he told her to destroy....

If you are referring to the tape containing the audio of the killings, which Werner Herzog told his ex-girlfriend should be destroyed, then I'll pass. I have no interest in snuff films or audio tapes. I'm with Werner on that one. I can't even watch replays of Joe Theismann's leg break.

Oh yeah, and I still haven't seen the additional Richard Thompson footage.

I'm with Warren on this one, its not about the snuffing, its about the ultimate irony of this dude literally getting destroyed by his own love for something. He got so intertwined with his own innder demons he didn't see the position he put himself in, or maybe he did.
Warren said he wants to hear the tape of the guy getting eaten by a bear. Why is it necessary to listen to someone's agonizing death screams to understand the irony of the story?

If you're with Warren on wanting to hear the man dying, then I have to agree to disagree on the matter of taste.

Good taste is a primary reason Werner Herzog won the Director's Guild of America award for best documentary film director, and why he is nominated for an Academy Award. I guarantee he would not be nominated for any awards had he included the tape in the movie.
