A MORE THAN MAGNIFICENT MOVIE
Added 2/6/2010
THE BEAR is amazing in all it conveys, from the spirit of nature to its magnificence to man's insignificance when out of his civilized, citified environment.
This rare motion picture is on the same level as the relatively recently released BBC PLANET EARTH; but it has so much more soul, intensity, emotion. Okay, I flinched, cheered, teared up. Its totally engrossing reality is unlike any other movie I've experienced.
I recommend THE BEAR to everyone, any age, any nature, any culture. It's more than entertainment, it will open your mind to humanity and spirituality. I've
watched it twice so far, and am sure I'll see it again. And again. Buy it! rclarknv

This is such an endearing story of a baby grizzly and its struggle to stay alive in the wild. The film was made in 1989 and a classic tale of survival against all odds.
There is a small amount of dialogue in the movie, but it is basically a story of a bear cub's first year of life; one endearing scene after another. The bear cub's mother is killed while digging in a bee's nest for honey. A large rock drops on her and the baby cub at first does not understand. He digs out rocks around her, but gives up and sleeps close to her the first night she died. Somehow the cub latches onto an adult male grizzly who has been wounded by a bullet from a hunter. Despite male grizzly's instinct to kill cubs, he lets the cub follow and learn. He takes care of this young cub during the summer, including tossing fish his way before eating himself. He protects against many threats. There are scenes with hunters, dogs and cougars attacking, but they survive for the winter hibernation. It is a beautiful film. The actions and behaviors of the bears are amazing.

a bear's bear

This film is very enjoyable, and considering it is not an animated film, it moves along well and interestingly. The only bit I found gratuitous is when the big bear goes off with a female bear and their activity is indicated by furious moving of bushes and it doesn't really add anything to the movie. Kids probably find it confusing and adults might give it a "tee-hee."I have nothing against bears doing what bears have to do, but in this case, it takes a little away from the director's artistry. Nevertheless, I love "The Bear."
