Great comments by all. It's a very self-indulgent, contrived film by Herzog, very unobjective. He seems to be more interested in how Treadwell's experience fuels his own feelings on human nature, than in building up a decent portrait of the man and allowing the audience to come to the piece themselves, he kind of takes away our ability to form an opinion in a way, only slightly though. Talking over the top of people is a recurring issue in Herzog's documentary work. 

Having said that, i still think Herzog interprets the situation with a lot of truth and i still think the subject matter is amazing.
