At the Movies

I didn't see this film on the big screen, I rented the DVD. (I wonder if it's proper to still call it a film if you watch the DVD version?) Anyway, I watched two movies a couple of weeks ago and they both left an impression with me, but I can't seem to forget especially one of them. The movie was rated R for language and was titled, Grizzly Man,...no, it was not about the mascot of the Memphis NBA franchise, but is a documentary about a man who spent 13 summers living amony grizzly bears in Alaska,....unarmed. He documented his time there and his experiences with his handheld video cam. There was only a couple of places where he used foul language, but in one segment he was angry at the EPA and was dropping the "F- bomb" everywhere. My son got up and walked out. The guy eventually was killed by the grizzlies, or just one. They found his arm, with his watch still on it,....still ticking. John Cameron Swazzie would have a field day with that one were he alive and were he wearing a Timex. I didn't lose interest in the movie. Maybe because I knew he might be getting killed at any moment. There were no gorey, or grizzly(excuse the pun)scenes,...no footage of his death, though I think it was at least partially captured,...they discussed his final words on the recording. In the end, I thought the guy was a nut. But it is a dvd worth watching,...some even worth watching with your kids,...but limited. Choose some segments and preface them with "This guy is a lunatic,....don't EVER believe you can live with a wild animal without him chewing your arm off!"
