Provocative in the best sense in that it provoked my own thought and many conversations as well. I just saw it again on video. Treadwell was obviously deeply disturbed. And yet somehow he got away with his hugely risky lifestyle for 13 summers, so he wasn't an idiot. He actually treated the foxes as though they were his friendly pets and obviously wanted the same type of relationship with the grizzly bears. But they looked at him at least partially as a piece of food. Not exactly the basis for a good relationship. There are many high points in this movie. The coroner is an odd duck, providing good information in an extremely theatrical sort of way. The aerial shots of the Alaska wilderness are purely beautiful cinematography.
