When people choose to not live in human society, their road goes to madness
I had the chance to watch the film called Grizzly Man, a documentary about bears, animals, nature but mostly important a man, Timothy Treadwell.
A man who loved bears, he lived with bears, he preferred bear's society over the human ones, he died with with bears...
I love animals too, I think I understand what he felt during some of those moments portrayed in the heart of nature, surrounded by bears and foxes, it's about inner peace, equilibrium, no one is more important than anyone else, we're all members of the same big ecosystem.
While people have too many rules and often things just don't work and often you're disappointed by other people; animals instead are more free and if you take care of them, they'll never forget and will love you back.
Anyway, bear's society is a bit more complex than this, bears are very wild and strong and dangerous.
You can try to live with them, you'll understand many things about them, you can even a sort of cultural exchange of them, but at the end of the day, you're a human and you'll always be.
And so he was Timothy.
He died eaten by a bear.
Thanks to the documentary made by Werner Herzog, we learned a lot about bears and their lives but also about Timothy himself.
At some point of the film, it's very very clear the changing of personality inside our main character.
He started as a lover of these huge animals but in the end, he just became a guy who thought he could be a bear too and maybe he already thought about himself as a "grizzly man" for real.
Sadly things didn't end very well...
In some clips, you can clearly feel his disappointment in human society and in people who are just "killers of animals" and how he just couldn't live anymore between other human beings, he wanted to live among bears for ever.
Anyway, what I really saw on this documentary, is the evolution of a man who chose to stay far from his family and friends and all the men and womens; he chose to run away from human standards to embrace a life that usually normal men don't live and well, he just lived too much of that life, he spent too much time doing this and in my honest opinion, this brought him to insanity...
