I saw a piece of news some time ago, saying that the lion farm in South Africa is going to be closed. Animal conservationists worry that the survival of more than 12,000 lions will face great challenges.
The first reaction I heard was that it turns out that lions can also be raised by humans?
But when I think about it, I'm relieved. Isn’t the zoo that you can raise wolves, tigers, and leopards? Why can’t lions be raised?
What I didn't expect was that lion farming could be so industrialized, and there could be as many as 12,000. Isn’t this the same as a chicken farm? It is said that the value of lion farming is hunting, fur and bones for the rich. In the eyes of humans, the lion is nothing but a valuable animal.
We humans, can we save some face for the king of beasts?
This is also the biggest shock to me from this "Rogue"!

Highlight 1: The film and television of the lion farm.
The movie actually filmed the lion-raising industry process, allowing the audience to see up close how humans breed this fierce king of beasts.
At the beginning, the lions were all locked in cages, whether they were mighty male lions or agile lionesses. No matter how noble the animals in the cage are in nature, they can only lower their noble heads in front of human beings, let them be at the mercy of others, and take their lives and deaths!
When the owner of the farm gave the killing order, the workers in the farm started to get busy.
After receiving the instruction, a black man cooperated with another companion to beat the cage with a stick, intimidating the lions, drove the lionesses one by one to a certain cage in the room, and then hunted them with tools. Among them, the lions bared their fangs to humans and roared loudly, but under the sticks of humans, their destiny was determined.
The process of killing a lion may seem dangerous, but in fact it is almost the same as killing a chicken. In the face of iron and steel human beings, where can they resist with flesh and blood? Although the lions are extremely ferocious, they are actually just a group of lambs waiting to be slaughtered.
Of course, human beings like tragic stories, and a good story is needed to make movies for the audience. It is the job of the documentary to truly record the living conditions of the lions. Movies need a loophole!
So a strong lioness began to fight back, and it killed the human killer who hurt it. After all this is over, it can return to the wilderness with its two cubs.
Weak animals fought back desperately to human rulers, but it was a veil of shame that humans put on themselves. The reality may be a thousand times more cruel than a movie story. Otherwise, it would be impossible for me to see the news at the beginning of this article.
In reality, animals can only survive if they depend on humans, especially those carnivores at the top of the food chain. Assuming that humans do not set up habitats such as protected areas for animals, I think most carnivores will perish in the long river of evolution!
On this blue planet, people are the masters of this world.

Highlight two: mercenaries.
China has not fought a war for more than 40 years, and our sense of security is as ubiquitous as the air, and it is cheap!
Only when people have been to war-torn areas where their lives are threatened with death at all times can people understand the value of security.
For me, there are some life experiences that don't have to be felt by yourself to count. Why do I like to watch movies, and the mess of movies from all over the world will be found? It is because I have always regarded watching movies or reading as my second life. In this life, in addition to my own real life experience, I can also understand other lives through the tragedies and comedies of the characters in the story.
Of course, this is the era of industrialization of cultural products, and good works are precious, but even if it is a bad film, if there is something that makes me feel meaningful, it is also valuable!
The showdown between mercenaries and rebels in the movie is quite realistic!
In this world, there are always different people. Some people believe in God, some believe in Allah, some are cruel, and some are merciful. Without a strong order, the world must be chaotic.
Just like the anti-government organization kidnapping the governor’s daughter for a ransom, the governor would rather spend money to ask mercenary organizations to rescue her daughter than negotiate with the rebels.
Mercenaries collect money to work. Their belief is that money is supreme, whoever pays is the boss! It's nothing more than BOSS changing from time to time.
But if mercenaries are really made into such a good person, the incarnation of justice, like a movie, then they will definitely be slapped in the face by reality. Anything that can be bought with money can also be bought back with money. This is not a contradiction!
A mercenary is not an army. The army's first priority is loyalty and conviction to serve the country. Mercenaries have milk and mothers, Western Rome is destroyed by the hands of mercenary leaders, this is what the so-called knowledge of history and wisdom talks about.
Anti-government armed forces, on the contrary, have convictions, in this sense they are stronger than mercenaries. Therefore, the film always emphasizes how cruel the rebels are and how they are against humanity. In the final analysis, they are just labeling the villains. Non-self races must have different hearts; what is inconsistent with Western ideology, in their context, only the role of a mob can be played.

Finally, I don't know why the movie title says "Rogue"?
Mercenaries are in essence thieves, but they are righteous, so they are knights? In short, a movie that tells a story about lion farming feels weird to turn it into this name!
Just by restoring the scene of lion breeding, this film is worth watching; and the heroine is very beautiful. Speaking of this, I can't help but complain about the students from Tsinghua Academy of Fine Arts.
Is it true that there is no problem with everyone's aesthetics, whether it is Western or Eastern.
Those who advocate that Mimi's eyes are oriental beauty are bad in their bones. Their kneecaps are soft, and they have been kneeling at the place of the foreigner. Even if we are not the Manchus of more than a hundred years ago, they still kneel there and refuse to get up.
