Yes, some discussion has occurred that field observations have taken place of Bigfoot being seen to stand so quietly that they merge into tree trunks.

Loren,

Just watched this movie again yesterday. By far my favorite scene is the very end [spoilers]. This time it put a question in my mind though that you most likely know the answer to.

Was it a reported Sasquatch behavior to stand perfectly still to remain undetected prior to the movie? Or was this just an added effect based in the writers’ own imaginations or theories about the big guys?

Dear John

I wrote, “He spoke with what appeared to many Americans to be a French accent.”

I wasn’t talking about the reality of what accent Rene’ had. I was noting how it was experienced by Americans, and thus what American filmmakers would copycat regarding that accent for the character they created.

While your observations are spot on about the sources of the characters, you got Dahinden’s accent wrong. It not French. He spoke Schweizer-Deutsch which gave his speech a German tinged accent. I know because he usually talked to me a couple of hours a day.
