Herzog's, Grizzly Man.

There seem to be many complications and emotions running through Herzog's, Grizzly Man. This film highlighted the journey of Timothy Treadwell and his intimate ties to grizzly bears. Treadwell automatically thinking he is apart of the grizzly family and resides in their land takes on a ignorant role. Understanding the grizzly behavior was something Treadwell took pride in. However, little did he know that understanding or not he can't change their instinctual behavior. Treadwell took on the point of view as one of the animals, yet as human, they do not see him as a fellow brother, merely a piece of flesh and vulnerability.

Treadwell became one with nature. Through Transcendentalism, he is able to capture his surroundings and animals within and form a sort of bond that is often uncommon. Such as his relationship with his friend Fox. Living with and only with nature, Treadwell is able to adapt more with his surroundings and assuming he is then able to communicate with this grizzly bears on a more personal level, when in reality, they still have yet to consider him one of their own.

This brings forth many questions when relating transcendentalism and human behavior with authentic nature. Mankind is only capable of so much, especially when relating and connecting them to a wild animal such as a grizzly bear. As much passion and devotion Treadwell had with his relationship between these bears, if they do not see him as one of their own, he's doomed from the beginning. And, with this, I would argue Herzog's hidden perspective: trying to show the viewers-- the struggles with human and animals bonds, and the potential for them to be absolutely false.
