Homework 2 (due 4/18)


Writing Assignment (due at the beginning of class)

Write a 2-page essay on one of the following topics:


[Grizzly Man] What is Herzog’s position on Timothy Treadwell? Try to distinguish clearly between what your reaction to Treadwell is from what Herzog expresses in the movie through his voice-over and the way he presents Treadwell.


[Grizzly Man] Draw a psychological portrait of Timothy Treadwell as presented by Herzog in the movie. Judging from the movie itself, does Herzog’s portrayal appear to be accurate?


[Last Words] What is Herzog’s movie “Last Words” about? (Why did he make that movie?) Argue based on the content and technical aspects of the movie. Try to avoid using outside sources, such as reviews of the movie. If you do use other sources, please acknowledge them. (The movie is online at

without subtitles.)


[Grizzly Man] In 1999 Herzog published his Minnesota Manifest (tongue partially in cheek), available (with comments from “Herzog on Herzog”) at

Herzog writes that the “the ideas it deals with are those that my mind has been engaged with over many years, from my earliest 'documentaries' onwards”. Can you trace those ideas in Grizzly Man?



Submission: your essay should be typed; you can either email it to me, or submit a hardcopy in class.
