Grizzly Fake

So I just finished watching the film 'Grizzly Man' on Discovery Channel and all I have to say is this - this movie is a fake. The documentary of bear-lover Timothy Treadwell, who meets his end at the hands of the very grizzly bears he was supposedly protecting, is a hoax. It has to be, and he are my reasons why...

• Treadwell and mystery girlfriend (who, although she spent 2+ summers with Treadwell, only twice appears on tape and in both case her face is mysteriously veiled) had audio only of his last moments. A supposed professional documentarian leaves his lens cap on so there is only muffled audio of his demise - audio which we don't get to hear.
  
• His remains aren't found until 'Grizzly Man' director Werner Herzog (a hilarious Arnold Schwarzeneggar wannabe) traces his route and conveniently stumbles across them.
  
• The coroner who examines Treadwell's remains is probably the most questionable doctor in the history of the world. He is actually licensed, according to Alaska's medical professional licensing website, but I cannot believe that an actual doctor would behave in such a manner when discussing the death of two people for a movie.
  
• The only person to have photos and audio footage of Treadwell's death is Herzog. And, in order to spare the audience the gruesome details, they are not shown in the film. Further, Herzog hands the audio tape to Treadwell's friend and tells her to destroy it.
  
• Treadwell's remains are immediately cremated after his autopsy.
  
• The family and friends interviewed are the most unbelievable group of characters ever committed to film. I thought his father was actually the dad from 'American Pie'. Not one shows honest emotion.
  
• Treadwell supposedly had a diving scholarship to Bradley University. Bradley University has no swimming or diving team.
  
• Treadwell is a liar, claiming to be in the wilderness to protect the bears. But in the movie when faced with his one opportunity to protect the bears (when photographers are throwing rocks at a female grizzly) Treadwell instead chooses to keep himself hidden and safe at a distance.
  

Treadwell is obviously playing a character throughout. His tirades are insincere, relying on an uncomfortable overuse of swearing. His friends try to paint him as a rebel and a tough-guy who was "hell-bent on destruction" in order to inject some character background and conflict, and they fail miserably because he's obviously gay (not that there's anything wrong with that). What Herzog tries to portray as paranoia (when Treadwell responds to smiley faces and a message saying "Hi Timothy" carved in a tree trunk) is just Treadwell trying to create drama out of what is quite obviously just a playful message either left by other hikers or maybe even done by Treadwell himself (seeing as Treadwell was, supposedly, illegally trespassing in a wildlife sanctuary).

This is surely a pathetic attempt by Treadwell and his wannabe actor friends to hit the big-time because this is the most unconvincing 'documentary' of all time. If you showed me both 'Best In Show' and 'Grizzly Man' and told me to pick the fake, I would say 'Grizzly Man' without hesitation. Anyone who calls this movie 'gripping' or 'moving' or 'touching' is a absolute moron - a giant, gullible, retarded moron. This movie was so poorly done it is comical. The level of skill involved is amateurish - I could make a better movie in my spare time. It actually makes me quite angry (well not angry per se, more like disappointed in the gullibility and stupidity of people in general) that this movie is receiving such critical acclaim and actually won an award at Sundance. Discovery Channel and a lot of other people are going to feel pretty stupid when, I'd say probably about 6 months from now, Treadwell and Herzog come clean and says the whole thing was a giant publicity stunt - like Blair Witch, except somehow a better kept secret. And you can all think of this as my big "I told you so".
