Review title: Satire Masquerading as Sincerity? Let's Hope So!
Product review: After two viewings I can still not decide whether Herzog meant for this film to be taken seriously. It has the look and feel of sketch comedy. I am not a discompassionate person, and I literally laughed my way through 2/3 of this thing. One of my favorite moments was the clip where Dave Letterman asked Treadwell if we'd be hearing reports of him being eaten by a bear, and then the audience erupted in laughter--COMIC GENIUS!Treadwell was clearly insane! Not brave! Those bears didn't want or need him there! So what is the story if not the novelty and irony of this closeted, kooky wannabe hamming it up for the camera and then getting exactly what he was asking for.If Grizzly Man is satire, then it's a masterpiece and Herzog is a genius. If it was intended as inspirational or tragic docu-fare, then it fell far short of its mark. The guy, the situation, the foolish-looking supporting players and the ultra-serious narration were all just laughable.
