It's not.

The fact that SP had the decency and respect to get the family's blessing isn't the same thing as their having final approval. In fact SP probably didn't have final approval... some suit at New Line - fed by focus group info - did.

As for..."Penn felt he needed their blessing which a guy like Herzog, a far more accomplished film maker, never did in his many documentaries." Says who? You?

You don't think he had Denglers "approval" or that he didn't seek to get the blessing of the friends and family of Grizzly Man before embarking on those projects.

Also the movie, for me at least, wasn't about having sympathy for the guy... it was about relating to the spirit of someone who felt so strongly abut comuning with nature.
