灰熊人:灰熊人

Tim热爱灰熊胜过生命，这份事业给了他信仰，他视之为使命。有多少人不理解他，有人质疑他的行为，有人分析他的性格，有人视他为理想主义的悲剧而站在局外怜悯而理性地审视他，但我一点也不想做出任何这种judgement。的确，他太特别，很情绪化，不完美，但是当你看到那些神奇的场景: 他小心翼翼又兴奋难捱地接近灰熊，手指放在熊的嘴边，跳进水里和熊游泳，摸着温热的熊粪；他和玩具小熊呆在被大雨冲垮内帐的帐篷里为了干旱的解除而感谢各路神仙、孩子般地笑；还有那群神奇的狐狸朋友，他打招呼说“Hi,Spirit~!”“Hi,baby~!”，狐狸让他骚着脑袋，狐狸跟在他身后，和他赛跑......我不由觉得各种分析都带有太多来自Tim所讨厌的人类世界的影子。Tim说过，他感激这份工作，这是他唯一想从事的，在此之前他根本没有活过，他常常在拍摄视频的最后说愿意为了这项事业而死。他狂喜、哭泣、愤怒、忧虑、痴迷，像战士更像孩子，他游荡在“灰熊迷宫”里，他是个传奇。我非常非常喜欢他，他和我心中许多至高的东西相重合，我理解他，或者说我希望理解他以显得和他更相像一点，所以我不敢开始任何“逃避现实”“无谓的努力”“过于理想主义”“如果怎么样会不会就怎么样”这种自作聪明的深层分析，只是看一个有着赤子之心的人在神圣的自然中固执地热爱，生命在此生灭，被深深打动。他所见到的所感受的是有些人一辈子也无法想象的，我只希望我的生命里会有幸出现这样的场景。
另外也很崇拜赫尔佐格这个人，由他拍这部片子再合适不过了。

一定很多人都爱的片尾曲：
Coyotes—Don Edwards

Was a cowboy I knew in south Texas
His face was burnt deep by the sun
Part history, part sage, part mesquit
He was there when Poncho Villa was young
And he'd tell you a tale of the old days
When the country was wild all around
Sit out under the stars of the Milky Way
And listen while the coyotes howl
And they go...

hoodi hoo di yip hoo di yip hoo
hoo yip hoo yip hoo

Now the long horns are gone
And the drovers are gone
The Comanches are gone
And the outlaws are gone
Geronimo is gone
And Sam Bass is gone
And the lion is gone
And the red wolf is gone

Well he cursed all the roads and the oil men
And he cursed the automobile
Said this is no place for an hombre like I am
In this new world of asphalt and steel
Then he'd look off some place in the distance
At something only he could see
He'd say all that's left now of the old days
Those damned old coyotes and me
And they go

hoo yip hoo yip hoo
hoodi hoo di yip hoo di yip hoo

Now the long horns are gone
And the drovers are gone
The Comanches are gone
And the outlaws are gone
Now Quantro is gone
Stan Watie is gone
And lion is gone
And the red rolf is gone

One morning they searched his adobe
He disappeared without even a word
But that night as the moon crossed the mountain
One more coyote was heard
