I tried to watch it last night on the discovery channel, but the amount of commercials was horrible. You just don't get the cinematic impact with commercials.
I'm also kind of mad that the film only had a fraction of his footage, it seemed like it focused on his death more than his life. Maybe I'll rent it at blockbuster to see it again...
I actually did watch it, I just smoked and used my computer when the commercials were on. That guy was fucked in the head
what the hell are you talking about? i didnt say anything about him being aloneQuote:

They were basically his family out there in the wilderness. This guy accomplished more in those 13 years then most people do in a lifetime, i have respect for this guy. Although as said in the movie, he shouldnt have treated these bears like retarded people in bear suits like he did.
he was a good person with a heart of gold and made a difference in the world and thats a hell of a lot more than most people can say
good post, we are on the same wave lengthQuote:

I also agree that he did a disservice to those animals by creating the impression that human contact is a good thing for them. If anything, the local authorities did a disservice to both Tim and those animals by allowing him to continue his so called study for as long as they did. By all rights they should have removed him from that wilderness and had him admitted for a psyhiatric evaluation. They would (and often have) have done as much for a "deranged" homeless person wandering around at a football game or in the streets of downtown trying to make nice with all the people or preaching the end of time or the impending alien invasion force.
that was an awesome flick....and there aren't many awesome flicks out there anymore.
Actually no, he wasn't. The fact is the number one thing you can do to respect these animals is to do just that, respect their wildness and leave them be. Because of his "good work" 3 bears are now dead that were shot on the scene of the attack. What a moron.Quote:
