Yeah, the coroner was a little strange, but you have to wonder about Herzog perhaps being a little mean to the coroner and Jewel. I mean, what is up with those lingering camera shots--just forcing people to be uncomfortable. I am not sure what Herzog was trying to accomplish with that. Professor Windsor: yes mosquitos are bad. Oil drilling also bad. You are just trying to bait us liberals, man. shame on you. Love, Alison

i did not feel too comfortable with the coroner and even some of (although funny) treadwell's ex-girlfriend. herzog admits to doing multiple takes to make his doc and ti comes across contrived or kind of stale. like, ok, give me a genuine reaction, take 8. kind of weird. btw-i saw a bear yesterday in canada. i did not feel tempted ot pet it

The coroner in this movie was straight up scary. He made me feel incredibly uncomfortable when he was describing the human remains. It was like he really enjoyed it or something. Creepy. You summed it up pretty well: Its a crazy story about a wannabe celebrity who got eaten by a bear. Also this documentary affirmed what I had always heard about Alaska: there are a ton of mosquitos. Someone needs to spray the entire country to kill all the damn flies. Until then, we should lay waste to that damn place and drill for oil.
