Grizzly Man

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.

Tvad baby, lighten up...have a bear burger..

Sorry, Warren, this is a fascinating film, but listening to someone die is not a topic I find humorous.

Peace, baby.

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.
