"Grizzly Man" is a very successful documentary that

gives an insight into a very damaged individual (Treadwell), is beautifully put together by a master (Herzog) and, well, has a great soundtrack (Thompson).

**Somewhat amazingly, many people that watch this movie seem unable to separate their feelings about the central character from an opinion of the film's worth.**

I completely agree. Initially I thought the subject matter was one I wouldn't be much interested in. What type of idiot tries to live amongst grizzly bears and ends up as a bear's breakfast? Herzog succeeds in telling the story and in giving Treadwell his due as a film maker and believer in his "cause". Herzog doesn't fail to point out that Treadwell crossed a very dangerous line.

It's certainly a worthy film. Treadwell was a very interesting character that pushed his luck FAR past too far.
