“There is no Sleepy Hollow on the Internet, no peaceful spot where contemplativeness can work its restorative magic. There is only the endless, mesmerizing buzz of the urban street.” Nicholas Carr, from The Shallows: What the Internet is Doing to Our Brains (New York: Norton, 2010)

I
really enjoyed the Grizzly Man movie. Usually when you hear movies or
documentaries similar to this it’s videos of the animal from very far distances
or even just pictures with a ton of facts on the animal and why we should
protect it. However, this was different. Treadwell put all of his heart and emotion
into promoting the protection of these bears. He was willing to die for any of
the bears. All of his emotion and his relationships with the bears is what, I
think, made his “campaign” so successful. When you see someone get so close to
a Grizzly bear it is really incredible. For that moment you’re quiet watching
and waiting to see how the bear would respond but each time Treadwell would
stay so calm
