Ghost
I can see why. These people, as noted, are movie geeks, and Grizzly Man
is packed with the sorts of moments that I have heard called "pure
cinema." Werner Herzog notes that this is what drew him to this
project: it's not that he had any inherent interest in bears, but
rather that Treadwell had amazing footage. We see the expected
spectacular scenery and amazing shots of bears fighting and hunting,
but also moments that no screenwriter would have invented, such as the
scene in which Treadwell, filming inside his tent, starts poking at the
pawprints that have appeared on the ceiling, and then goes outside to
find that a little fox has jumped on top of the tent. At another point,
a fox whom Treadwell has named "Ghost" steals Treadwell's hat and we
are treated to a POV shot of Treadwell chasing the fox through the
forest shrieking, "Oh, goddammit! Oh, I can't be-lieve this! Gho-o-ost!
Ghost, where's that fucking hat? If it's in a den I'm gonna fuckin'
explode! It's not okay for you to steal it! Ohh, man! Ohhh, man!"
