Grizzly Man (2005)

This movie was pretty cool. For some reason going into it I thought it would be more of a fictionalized account of the character, instead of a full on doc, so it took me about 20 minutes to get over that.
Acclaimed director Werner Herzog protrays Grizzly Man Timothy Treadwell as someone who was so involved in his work, that he had trouble seeing the forest from the trees. I kept thinking about the story Into the Wild, and feel like there are parallel's with the characters' desire for isolation, but also to document their isolation (which can be seen as kind of hypocritical). Both individuals also died while in the wild.
Herzog's voice definitely tries to rationalize Treadwell's actions, and he depicts him as a very determined person, but who also had a very soft side.
I really liked the scenes where Treadwell is interacting with the foxes (who are kind of a sidekick to him in the wild). He plays and talks to them as if they were his cats, aw precious.
Overall, I think this movie is worth checking out because it illustrates how if you become so involved in your work, and are unable to take a step back to see that maybe you're going too far, you will suffer irreconciable consequences.
