    Grizzly Man  (2005)

     This material in another film-makers hands could well have seemed crass and exploitative.. Werner Herzog manages to make something special ..whilst his opinions are voiced over the images,somehow he allows you to reach your own conclusions about Timothy Treadwell's story.   As Herzog acknowledges,sound, Music in particular plays a huge part in the artistic success  of a film.  In just a few days Richard Thompson and a few other select musicians created a fabulous soundscape.  It's also great to see Werner Herzog,sitting in the studio,taking immense pleasure from witnessing his ideas being brought to fruition so expertly.

     First of all,dont let anyone tell you that Johnny Depp is doing a David Bowie impression..that's the most obvious reference.Click your cred up a notch by correctly identifying Depp's vocal stylings as much more your Anthony "who can i turn to?" Newley..That said ,i found this telling of the story to be the expected masterpiece of Burton styling,with Panda eyed Bonham Carter appearing as Sweeney's white face twin.  Color palette is almost exclusively comprised of Blue black and Red... In fact theres so much Red spurting everywhere that i had to look away ..poor old Sweeney ,even after he's had his vengeance he doesnt know when to stop...
