Hunting Bigfoot

For me, no not a documentary, even by definition. This is a very well done 87 minute reality film.

The film is about John Green and his very good friends, who are there for him unconditionally. John has endured many hardships in his life. Once a multi millionaire business owner, now broke, the loss of his wife and now based on what i have read, the loss of his daughter.

John has an obsession, Big Foot. He spends most of his time treking the Pacific North West, looking to get his 2nd glimpse at the elusive cryptid. Estranged from his family, his obsession, some feel John has a problem. Well as you watch this, you at first feel sorry for him, but later realize he is living his life as he wants, the way you wished you could.

This film talks of Big Foot, but its more about humanity and tolerance. How many of us have friends like his? How many of us do exactly what we love every day? How many of us have the huge house, cars, great vacations but just really arent happy or satisfied at all, but the guy in the tent looking for Big Foot is.

I didnt know what to expect when i started to watch this, but for me it was a reminder about the quality of our lives. Wealth can be measured in many ways, and i bet very few of us have as many happy moments as John Green.

So apparently this is a fakeumentary. A made up story about a Bigfoot Hunter that spends way too much time in the Woods, looking for Bigfoot. But none of it is true.

The movie spends way too much time talking about the Hunter, and not actually Hunting Bigfoot. With about 30 min left they finally are out in the woods. Jumping around. And that part is very short and we're back to the made up story about the 'hunter' again.

Now if this was a true story it might be more appealing, but it's a made up story and really has nothing to do with actual Bigfoot Hunting. It's really Quite Disappointing.

2/10.

While I'm not a believer in this subject (not a skeptic either) but, I do find cryptozoology fascinating. This doc is more about the man Mr Green, and the phenomenon of the Sasquatch hunter. It's pretty hard to watch this kind of obsession and what it can do to some folks. Also, this other reviewer (only other one at the time of my submission) claims this is fake. It is not. These events did happen from what I've read in online news articles. The one thing I did find very interesting was the find they make and the DNA implications. Anyone who has half a brain knows that unknown species of zoological varieties are still discovered all the time. To shut out all possibilities in these regards is just ignorant. I would recommend this documentary. Interesting human drama with cryptozoology as a backdrop.

The "Featured Review" indicated that this was a "fakeumentary - a made up story about a Bigfoot Hunter"

This is incorrect. John is indeed a real person and his life and obsession with Bigfoot has been accurately captured in this film.

The film is more about the man (John Green) and how he ended up in this quest to prove to himself that these creatures exist...and less about the beast itself.

There were aspects of the story that could have been elaborated on and expended. The lost connection with his family is one of them.

I found it entertaining and a wonderful vacation from the normality of most documentaries.

While I do appreciate the documentary film style, I think it's super misleading to claim something is a documentary when it is fiction. It had me going and almost laughing at certain points but long story short, I wish I had the last 2 hrs of my life back.

All details proving this is FARSE is easily found. Why I cannot post links here. You may search "valley record snoqualmie resident produces new Bigfoot movie" and read the film producers own words that it was acting/actors.

Also, alarmingly, discovered the actress (yes actress not actual daughter) who played John's daughter was possibly murdered?
