But film is an art of illusion, and the illusion in "The Bear" is that we are seeing the real thing. I write "seeming" because I know that the movie was made with trained bears and that parts of certain scenes were even fabricated using animated models. ![]() It is about life in the wild, and it does an impressive job of seeming to show wild bears in their natural habitat. This is not a cute fantasy in which bears ride tricycles and play house. And it is respect for that reality that is at the heart of "The Bear," a movie about the first year of a bear cub's lifetime. I knew fear, because a wild beast wanted to kill me. The glass was thick, the incident was over in a moment, but for the length of that moment I felt the kind of instinctual response that has been bred into us from prehistory. ![]()
