In Reply to: Disturbed how? posted by njjohn on January 2, 2006 at 09:53:18:
and I would say it is a good word. I see him quite a bit differently than you do. It was explicit in the movie that he had problems with drinking and drugs and went so far as to go to courthouses to see criminals sentenced- his girlfriend of the time said she thought it was to remind himself what could happen to him.At any rate, I believe he was disturbed in the following ways. He had a very grandiose view of his own role in protecting the bears. How many bears did he actually protect from hunters or poachers? I would guess none.
He was very openly courting death. Many of his words in the movie were of the danger he was in. When you engage in life threatening behavior for year after year, and when you obviously intend to do this for the rest of your life, it is very close to suicide.
It seems that you admire him for taking these risks and living close to the dangerous animals. I find it fascinating, but I don't admire it. I would admire it if I felt he had actually helped the animals, but I think the only one who benefited was Treadwell himself.
Some time ago, I read a news story about some man who set a world record for staying in an enclosure with deadly poisonous snakes. I feel more or less the same about Treadwell, it's fascinating, it's brave, it's foolhardy, and it's done for the benefit of human ego, not for the animals.
