I couldn't agree more with the comments posted. Nothing makes me madder
than movies which pretend there is no separation between a human being
and a wild predatory animal. The worst recent example of that was "Two
Brothers" (about a child keeping a full-grown tiger as a pet). Even
worse are the true-life actions of Timothy Treadwell, chronicled in the
do***entary "Grizzly Man". This yahoo talks about how he's so concerned
to "protect" the grizzly, meanwhile, he's out there desensitizing
God-only-knows how many of them from their natural aversion to humans--
making them a needless threat to himself, other humans, and themselves.
The ending he came to is completely predictable.
