Freaktana A Major Disappointment

Hadrina The movie's neither hopeful in contrived ways, nor hopeless in different contrived ways. Somehow it manages to be wonderful

Ezmae Chang This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.

Lachlan Coulson This is a gorgeous movie made by a gorgeous spirit.

noobz-84663 I think 2017 is exponentially worse than when you made this point. I'd like to add that folks likely make fun of it largely because they lack the courage and conviction to follow that style of life. I know I want to live like that. I have since i was a child. I'm one of the many that lack the courage to leave everything else behind to have it.I cannot think of a better death that one following by the courage and conviction to pursue the life in your dreams. If this is my only life then I feel I've wasted it following those things in front of me instead of those things I always had dreams of being.Adams was pushed to this extreme and brilliant enough to eventually realize that everything that mattered was in the world to which he retreat; utterly free.

double_the_pink I LOVED this movie and the TV show as a child in the 1970s. Watched the show with my dad ALL the time, and it still reminds me of him. James "Grizzly" Adams is wrongly accused of murder, and flees into the wilderness to safety. There he saves an orphaned bear cub, who grows up to be Adams' best friend, the lovable Ben. Adams has a special bond with all the wild animals in the forest. They have all kinds of adventures with nature, and a few people here and there. Very innocent movie and TV show (no sex or excessive violence), and it sounds cliché', but they just don't make them like this anymore. I cannot seem to find the 1974 movie in print on DVD, and I would LOVE to. If anyone knows if this is available on DVD anywhere, please post about it. As far as I have found I've only seen old VHS copies for sale, and I don't have a VCR. Catch this movie, TV show, and the conclusion movie "The Capture of Grizzly Adams" if you get the chance. All 3 are a great moment in time.

Smoreni Zmaj This is something between documentary and TV show about nature. In 19th century man is falsely accused of murder that he did not commit, so he flees to mountains where he saves rears grizzly cub. Movie follows next 10 years of his life in wilderness in harmony with nature with grizzly bear as his best friend. There is no dialogues, it's made as documentary followed by first-person narrative. There's not much plot either, but it is full of beautiful landscapes and various wild animals keeping company to our narrator. Movie became very popular so they made TV show few years later. Show was more movie-like, with plot for every episode, dialogues and such. When I was about 8 or 9 years old, I remember it was shown on Sundays and me and my sister wouldn't miss it for anything. It is simply beautiful. warm recommendation to everyone who loves nature and animals.8/10

bwag4 takes me back to my young childhood growing up with my pets that I took in from the wild. love the show so much, just found a copy that I paid a pretty little price for, just to able to show to my two young children. two thumbs up for grizzly adams, except the last show- the capture of grizzly adams- TERRIBLE
