Grizzly Man Vs. The Real PersonEssay Preview: Grizzly Man Vs. The Real PersonReport this essayGrizzly Man vs. the Real PersonThe recorded lives of Timothy Treadwell and Eustace Conway were similar to no one else in the United States of America at this time in the 20th and 21st Century. While they had many similarities in their lives of wilderness, they were also unique from one another in the ways they lived their lives and the way they thought mentally. In the film Grizzly Man the narrator portrays Treadwell as a man that the majority disagreed with. As for in The Last American Man, author Elizabeth Gilbert talks about Conway as someone just living a natural life, just as people had before America was developed. Shes not as negative toward Conways life as the narrator from Grizzly Man had been toward Treadwells life. Each man of the wilderness lived a different life than an average American in todays society.
Treadwell and Conway thought along the same lines throughout their lives. Most commonly, they both had a fascination with the wilderness. Both of these men recorded their lives, Conway by a journal and Treadwell with a camera. They wanted to be separated from society and live on their own. They disagreed with the real world and the constant new technologies. These guys both had trouble living in society and making relationships with women. Mentally they both thought their lives were the best choice. Conway would preach how he is a “real person”, compared to man growing up in society, because he spends his life in the wilderness. While Treadwell would try to make himself look sane and perfectly fine living and touching wild grizzly bears. To the common person in America in the 21st century, these two men were crazy. They wanted everyone else to know how masculine they were. Conway showing off telling people that he has lived in the wilderness since he was 17 and Treadwell preaching his 13 seasons with grizzly bears. They both lived with a special rush in the wilderness. They have proved to people that they have masculinity strengths, but people tend to question their sanity. Although these two people share some similarities, both also express unique ways of living and thinking.
Timothy Treadwell was born in New Jersey in 1957 and through his life had trouble with alcohol and drugs. He blamed his problems on failing to get the role of Woody Harrelson on the sitcom Cheers. His parents seemed to portray love toward Timothy, but they also talked about him as being different. He was constantly having ups and downs with his emotions. This is clearly shown in a clip in Grizzly Man that is about 3 minutes long of Treadwell talking to the camera perfectly normal then within an instant of talking, switches his emotions and just starts screaming at the top of his lungs every profanity word in the book. It was clear that Treadwell was not all there mentally. It wasnt until the 1990s that Treadwell became fascinated with grizzly bears and nature as a whole. Treadwell spent 13 seasons in Alaska living with grizzly bears before the wilderness caught up with him. He thought that he had a bond with these grizzly bears and that the evolving lives of wild animals would never catch him. Treadwell filmed himself during his last five seasons in Alaska living with these bears and today there exists over 100 hours of footage on tape. Treadwell felt content with the wilderness. He wanted to protect the grizzly bears because he thought the United States of America was not doing there job as the protector. He loved all of nature and didnt want anything to die, which in reality is unrealistic. During the winter when the grizzly bears would go hibernate, Tredwell would return to the real world.
When he returned to the real world he would go to different schools and explain his life to kids and different groups of people. He did all this work for free. He wanted to be known in this world one way or another. He even mentioned to one of his close friends that his word will not be known to people around the world unless he died. He would say to his close friend before every new season with the bears, that he had a very good chance of dieing with these bears. Although he said it, I feel he never believed it. In most of his recorded clips in the wilderness he would talk into the camera with a confidence like no other. He thought he made relationships with these bears. The wilderness revolves in a cycle for food, so when food is scarce for animals, they will desperately eat anything and thats including a human, especially if its the size of a grizzly bear. The narrator of the movie Grizzly Man was a friend of Treadwells, but it is clear that he didnt agree with what Treadwell did for his life.
The narrator of Grizzly Man clearly showed his emotion for Treadwell, but after Treadwells death, the narrator states his opinion that it was only a matter of time before his life ended. He both positively and negatively portrays Treadwell in the movie Grizzly Man. He positively spoke about Timothy as a person and friend. He mentioned that he was close with Treadwell and that he was a really good person. The narrator tells the audience that he had a strong relationship with Treadwell. While negatively portraying Treadwell, not in an evil way, but in a way that made it clear he didnt agree with his life. He would talk about his problems with drugs and alcohol, and how he didnt believe Treadwell when he said he came in second to Woody Harrelson in Cheers. While showing clips of Treadwell within feet of the bears and actually touching them, he would comment on how Treadwell never understood. He never thought Treadwell actually made relationships
A scene in the movie Grizzly Man where the main character and the bear show a moment of fear when the bear shows up.
Determined to escape, a scene in the movie Grizzly Man where the main character walks into the forest and sees a man standing in the middle of the woods, armed with two knives. He then sees the bear with the knife on his waist, which reminds us here are the other characters in this movie, that was when the scene was shot. All three of the characters being armed with knives, which is what we see on one level in the movie in Grizzly Man.
In this video you can see the same thing where the bear shows up, we see that, just as in the movie of earlier, the bear can see the main character and the bear with the knife on his waist in order to save him and when he gets hit, the bear opens his mouth to scream, “Wake me up” (as he did the first scene with the bear)
We also have this scene in another video where the main character walks to the house where all the bears have killed each other. The bear’s face looks like it was being strangled by a knife when it is hit. It doesn´t do an justice for how scared the bear would be at this point.
The bear’s smile is on full display inside the bear, who then smiles to the bear before he starts yelling at him in the street.
Bears often have an attitude of terror when confronting them and are known to stand back up if attacked quickly. In all aspects of Grizzly Man this video is clearly showing that a bear is more than just a weapon. It is a human being who believes in something to live and fight. We can see in this video why the bear is not only armed with a knife, but also a knife too. It is a part of Grizzly Man, it is a part of all human beings. Why? Because this is not just a bear and the bear is armed with this knife. The bear is armed with it too.

The biggest bear is also not armed with the knife but instead with a large sword that it uses to swing around on the cliff. The big bear tries to hold on and push the big bear away with his hand while all is still the same, then kicks the giant down with it’s sword.The big bear comes around the corner and takes the giant that is left behind by the big bear and throws it back to the big bear where it explodes, only to get shot by the big bear, the big bear dies.
