After the bear spared him Tom realized that he had encountered something greater and more noble than himself.

I been a hunter and trapper most of my adult life In the remote mountains of British Columbia (68now) I've always loved this movie, it really touches one's soul, I don't think I could kill another bear, I just don't have it in me anymore.....Respect...

[@robertloader9826]

Why did you kill any in the past Albert? Genuine question from a man in the north of England who knows nothing of the wilderness? Hope my question is not improper. 🙏

[@Albert-Mag...]

@@robertloader9826 I killed bears for different reasons...My family and I ate most of them I tanned and used the fur, I sold Gaul blatters and feet (not the reason for killing them but might as well make use of everything possible...illegal now) We lived over 20 years off-grid in the forest..some bears would be a danger to my kids and kill my animals and had to be eliminated...don't get me wrong I respect the animal for what it is ..a bears nose is 10 x stronger than a blood hound....My dad used to say " "A man is like a fine cognac...we mellow with age""

[@felixk3814]

Albert, that is amazing to hear from somebody who has seen the real thing - still seeing the value of life and beauty of nature... Too many hunters don't any more 😢

I watched this movie for the first time when I was in 2nd grade, when we were learning about bears. I'll never forget my 2nd grade teacher.

A powerful scene

This is the movie that started my Love for bears. Especially Brown Bears. Maybe if I win the lottery , I can take a month long trip to Alaska during the Salmon run and watch these magnificent animals in real life. Bucket List...#1

[@afriendofbean]

I love how Tom had a change of heart not to shoot and kill the bear where he was probably thinking from 0:31-0:39 "wait a minute, I can't shoot him, he had the opportunity to kill me but chose not too."

[@mrbuck5059]

The only thing, in real life a griz would fuck anyone up. This is make believe.

[@TheKaijuGamer_]

@@mrbuck5059 Uh, a bear isn't a full on mindless killer. Even if a bear or any other animal attacked, they have a reason to. Bears are rather reclusive and docile animals, unless someone does something stupid to trigger its aggression then yes, a bear would mess someone up. It's all about learning, understanding and getting to know them better is how to keep them from showing aggression towards us, unfortunately, many chose not to do so and instead blame them for attacks and deaths on humans. I'd rather be killed by an animal, than by another human. Because an animal doesn't know any better, whereas a human should already know better. More people die from murderers, machines, natural disasters, diseases and heart problems as well as parasites than people dying from humans combined.

[@mrbuck5059]

@@TheKaijuGamer_ well just to let you know. I lived and worked in Alaska for 5 years as a communication tower technician and I traveled all over that state. I carried a 300 Wetherby Vanguard or a Remington 7 MM with me all the time. Even to the shelter inside the compound. I left bears alone but I sure hell ain't going to get hurt or eaten by one.

[@TheKaijuGamer_]

@@mrbuck5059 There you go, you leave bears alone and you have a gun to shoot at the ground or air to scare it off. Again, if you do something stupid, then yes, a bear will go after you, but if you just leave it be and are at a safe distance, just go on and be alarmed. Even if it charges at you, just shoot at the ground or in the air, shooting and injuring it would just make it enraged.

[@afriendofbean]

@ TheKaijuGamer_2003 They say if a bear charges at you, that you should not run or move because soon it will stop and will stand on it’s back legs to make itself big to scare you and you just have to put your arms in the air so the bear will think you are bigger than it. If you run, that will show the bear that you are weaker than it.

[@rmb9726]

Great scene

[@ursamajor3362]

i watched "the bear" 1988 multiple times in theater with my friend wesley, haven't talked to him ages, not sure what ever happened with him. good times! he insisted we return to watch it multiple times he liked it alot.

[@aizhanmensiitova3127]

I wonder if it just me, or do many ppl cry when they watch animal movies

[@juliewendt6193]

Yes. If the animal dies or has issues finding their way home...it's very hard to watch. I get very caught up in the moment. If I know an animal dies, I won't watch the movie...Just can't do it.

Can someone please tell me where can I watch this movie, just finished the book (Grizzly King) and I can't find the movie anywhere.

[@geslinam9703]

Was this film in French, then dubbed in English? I’ve see the actor who played Tom in other movies, he has this low silky beautiful voice when speaking French….here, he sounds nothing like himself.

[@losangelesrams3472]

0:34. So relieved that he made the right decision. The bear spared his life, it would have totally wrong for him to turn around and take hers.

Lol that martini Henry would’ve blown a hole the size of a water melon from that bear.

[@felixk3814]

I think the yellow boy sort of was meant to be a Winchester 1876 - judging by the cartridges and ammunition box seen earlier in the movie - beautiful rifle anyway, makes one forgive the reality mistake
