Werner Herzog - "Grizzly Man" (2005)

Intriguing documentary about "Grizzly Man", who lived with grizzlies for 13 summers until he and his girlfriend / partner got eaten by them.

Not so much the nature side of things, but the human take on nature was intriguing.
  • his overwhelming love for the animals, to the point of fake
  • the practical "well, you could wait until he got eaten" viewpoint
  • the adolation of all he did for them
  • the Inuits (?? no, others, from Alaska), who basically saw his involvement with the bears as infringement. Plus, it might make the bears trust people. Utterly wrong.
