i remember this movie as gentle Ben, but of course, it's called gentle giant, created out of a book.
after disobeying his dads orders and goes down to bear river, 7 year old Mark Wedloe ends up seeing a drunk (fog Hanson, who was played by the legendary Ralph meeker)kill a mama bear, which is illegal. but the baby bear is stolen by fog Hanson's buddies. so every day, mark goes to visit the bear, but in secret, until one day the drunk finds him. what happens next? now after i read the book, i know the movie sucked because mark wasn't 7 like in the movie. he was actually 14 in the book. and fog Hanson's real last name was Benson. and in the movie, mark's dad is a bush pilot. in the book, he's a fishing boat captain. so there's tons of inaccuracies. but the story is heartwarming - but yet sad.
So, with a lot of crap, i say 6 out of 10
