I live in the Pacific Northwest and have encountered what I call the forest people and resemble this depiction of "bigfoot". They do have weapons, tools can make fires. They are 7-8 ft tall. I have communicated with Salish native american language with some of them. I have been within 30 ft from a female one night. Three others observed them also. They look more human than in this movie. I think this movie was the best one I have seen other than a few dramatizations.
