Film “L’Our” (1988): … a lil bear va cougar… =O

The Game of Survival… The Bear, (1988) known as L’Ours in its original release, is a feature film directed by Jean-Jacques Annaud. The screenplay by Gérard Brach was adapted from the novel The Grizzly King by James Oliver Curwood. Set in late 19th century British Columbia, Canada, the film tells the story of an orphaned bear cub befriended and protected by an adult male grizzly as hunters pursue them through the wilds. Though the film did not enjoy overwhelming commercial success with its North American release, it was acclaimed in France, and was nominated for and won numerous international film awards. Plot and cast In the mountainous wilds of British Columbia, a grizzly bear cub (Douce) suffers the death of his mother from a rockslide. Soon the young cub meets a large male grizzly (Bart the Bear) attempting to soothe a bullet wound inflicted by a pair of hunters (Jack Wallace and Tcheky Karyo). A friendship forms between the two bears. The two hunters are joined by another hunter (Andre Lacombe) and a pack of hunting dogs. The bears are chased over a ridge with the dogs in pursuit. The cub hides and the grizzly lures the dogs away, killing some of them. The hunters find the cub and take him to their camp. They leave to pursue the larger bear. The hunters separate and the younger one is suddenly cornered, without his gun, by the grizzly. Faced with the bear’s menacing roars and snarls, the hunter cowers in fear and whimpers in the face of certain death. The grizzly

  1. very beautiful! at first i was really scared for the little bear but was very relieved when it survived! i love how you can see the mother bear scolding the little one in the end! :P very touching :)

  2. Sure they added all kinds of effects but did a great job with this. It’s intended to sound human so that you can identify with the bear running for its life, and hope that he escapes.

  3. is this all real. such as the blood and stuff

  4. @wherewhywhatwhen its s posed to sound that way duh.

  5. 3:11 the best part TT

  6. duh……it is made to be humorus you moron

  7. That’s what you get when you fool with MOTHER NATURE!

  8. Great movie!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  9. This looks really fake! the noises of the bear sound human!

  10. This bear was mato. He was born in 1987 in a Belgium Zoo. In 26-01-2010 he was found dead in his cage in Dierenpark Emmen, Holland.

  11. That was some epic make-out at the end. O;

  12. I love the movie and this part! Jean Jacques Annaud is a great director!

  13. This reminds me of how fragile we are as humans against…nature! Love all of Mother earth!

  14. Cute scene, though in real life the older male would kill the cub. :[

  15. Are you for real?

    Do you really not understand the difference between hunting for thrills and killing something out of self-defense?

    Are there real teachers in red states or do they just throw any old Cletus to the front of the classroom?

  16. Try telling that to a grizzly bear (or a cougar) if it stumbles across you in the wild…

  17. i just watched this movie.

    ITS AWESOME!!! BUT SAD…..

  18. This video makes me think about how the devil watches for us & preys on us when we are most venerable. He thinks strategic & can position himself for us to come right to him. Sometimes there seems to be no way out. However; when we are trapped, nowhere to go and we have to make our stand, we find that we have a big bear of a God that has our back and then…… it is the devil that flees.

  19. This was an amazing movie. I dare any redneck sport hunter to watch and not be touched by the final message: “The greatest thrill is not to kill, but to let live”.

  20. Very nice videoclip.That´s mother´s love.

  21. Actually, it was not her mother, who was shot early in the movie. The cub and the solitary male bear developed some kind of friendship in this movie which is the “touching” part. I always find Grizzly to be majestic.

  22. I didn’t notice the cubs “voice” when I used to watch it when I was like 5 or 6, but now that I watch the scene at 19 I was kind of distracted by it too. It seemed a bit awkward but I guess the movie would be too quiet without it…at least that’s what I’ll assume.

  23. Nature is horrible.

  24. thats from a movie i saw a few years ago, forgot the name.

  25. that was great!

  26. Hey me and a friend are currently working on a project on this subject for a school project and your article seems to be really useful :D

  27. Keep up the good work, bookmarked and referred a couple of friends.
