is the fact the man was an alcoholic who left civilization, untreated, and focused his obsession on the 'high' and the continual pursuit of 'upping' the high by flirting with death, by the interacting with brown bears.
He was a chemically unbalanced man who caused the death of not only himself in his mania, but another human being and two of the brown bears that he professed that he would give his life for.

What gives you the mistaken impression I missed anything? - tinear 06:46:08 02/06/06 (0)
I never said he was not deluded, wrong-headed, selfish, or rational.
But he was a fascinating guy who did what HE thought was right and was willing to die for it.
Did the filmmaker honestly or at least entertainingly paint his character? Was he an interesting fellow (GM, that is)?
Yes, he and his companion died but is that a terrible thing if you're trying to save the species (as he thought he was?).
Films about unpleasant occurrances or people aren't necessarily bad, right?
