There is probably a huge amount of bear footage in that hundred hours, almost certainly the kind of footage that nobody else has ever gotten, who else would have had this kind of access? This would make a good movie topic on its own. In this case, it is pretty obvious that Herzog is interested in the human story and in the guy's mental state when he's out in the wilderness. I thought the foxes were really cute and it was nice to see the close bond that he had achieved with these animals. This was apparently the same bond that he thought he could establish with the bears, but as you saw, when he made that crazy attempt to pet a bear, it was not a realistic goal.I actually was glad that Herzog had included some professional footage, long shots of the environment and the glacier, this established the sense of place and the isolation and it was beautiful landscape photography in its own right.
