Recently, due to the intensification of the epidemic in the United States, many people have to be isolated at home.
Unexpectedly, this actually made a documentary produced by Netflix suddenly become popular and become a "popular".
Not only has it attracted the attention of many stars, such as Orlando Bloom, Kim Kardashian, Kadi Bi, Master Leto and so on.
Moreover, with the rhythm of the national chasing drama, its popularity once surpassed the fantasy drama "Stranger Things" under Netflix.
More importantly, the film involves many large-scale elements such as violence, drug trafficking, polygamy, buying and killing murders , and all of them actually happened.
A netizen who has seen it expressed such emotion: I have lived in the United States for almost 14 years, and I am afraid that I only really started to know this place after the Netflix documentary appeared. Magical to Marquez.
"Raising Tigers"
Tiger King
The protagonist in the film is Joe Wild , a veritable tiger king.
In Oklahoma, USA, he owns a huge private zoo.
Among them, 187 big cats are kept in captivity , including tigers, lions, leopards and so on.
Different from ordinary zoos, you can not only visit all kinds of "big cats" with your own eyes, but also get in close contact with them, interact with them, and take pictures with them.
Joe is a very different kind of person .
He wears rouge hair on weekdays, loves big cats, holds guns, and takes drugs.
Worked as a country singer, out of MV.
At the same time, he is also a homosexual with two husbands.
Muscular John and long-legged Travis both have a crush on Joe, and as a result, they host an extraordinary three-person wedding .
Unexpectedly, this extraordinary love has ushered in a miraculous reversal after many years——
John and the secretary Amber got together.
Travis, on the other hand, chose to commit suicide by headshot because he could no longer endure a long-term "captivity" like life.
This of course made Joe sad for a while, but soon he was back to life again.
Joe found a new love and even started a new life running for president and governor of the United States .
As the owner of the zoo, Tiger King Qiao gathered a group of marginalized people, including addicts, disabled people, prisoners of labor reform and so on.
In short, it is a group of people who have lost hope in their original life. With this job, they can at least live a relatively "decent" life.
Usually, Joe will "give you a fresh start" to coax people who have no other options in life, often after trial and error.
And this cult-like management method, according to Qiao himself, benefited from the guidance of a colleague.
He is Dr. Antle, the owner of Myrtle Beach Safari Park .
Sitting on a 300-acre park, Dr. Antel has unrivaled business acumen in addition to wild animals including many big cats.
In the name of protecting tropical rainforest and natural creatures, it allows tourists to interact with wild animals up close, in order to charge high-priced tickets.
Gain fame and fortune by involving wildlife in the park in the filming of Hollywood movies.
Of course, the most amazing part is that Dr. Antel took advantage of his position to brainwash countless girls and make them part of the "harem" .
On the one hand, he uses wild animals and superiors as bait, forcing the girls to sleep with him.
On the other hand, girls who become animal trainers are required to wear revealing clothing to attract more tourists.
However, in addition to this cult leader + PUA master, there are many wonderful people in Qiao's peers.
One of them must be introduced solemnly, is Joe's lifelong enemy - "animal protectionist" Carlo Baskin .
Carlo loves cats like his life, and there are cats everywhere in his life.
For the purpose of protecting wildlife, Carlo established the Big Cat Rescue Association.
With the help of social media dividends, she quickly became popular on the Internet and became an influential Internet celebrity blogger .
As a result, with a large amount of donations and traffic, she became a trend-setter in the animal protection movement and decided to launch an "offensive" against the safari park owners headed by Joe Wild.
Whenever Joe was on a big wildlife tour, she would send someone to follow and stop it.
However, looking back at what Caro did herself was completely at odds with her claims of animal protectionism.
Like Joe, she keeps big cats in captivity and uses them to make money.
The only difference is that her garden has more weeds, and the big cats live in smaller cages.
In order to save costs, in the name of protecting wild animals, she hired a large number of volunteers to provide long-term free labor for the park.
The smoke between Carlo and Joe continued.
Caro claimed that Joe was abusive to wild animals, and called on people from animal protection organizations to take to the streets to disrupt Huang Qiao's business.
And Joe did not show weakness, he said harsh words to Carlo through TV shows.
On Caro's birthday, send her a snake to "make a surprise".
The two went further and further on the road of mutual blackness, until one day a bigger black material about Carlo was exposed, and the plot of the film took another "strange" turn.
It turned out that Caro's ex- husband , Don Lewis , disappeared suddenly many years ago, and Caro inherited a huge amount of assets.
But there are rumors in the market that Tang is not actually missing, but Carlo murdered his husband in order to embezzle the inheritance, and also fed Tang's body to the tiger .
The "divorce" storm between Don and Carlo probably happened in the 1990s.
At that time, there were many conflicts between Tang, who was rich and caring, and Carlo, who was in desperate need of money to develop his career.
Tang was reluctant to let Carlo control too much property, but unexpectedly, this attracted Carlo's anger and intimidation .
However, just before this precarious marriage was on the verge of collapse, Tang mysteriously disappeared and no one knows his whereabouts again.
Since then, the police have intervened to investigate the case, but they were eventually dismissed because no evidence could be found.
The case has now become an unsolved case, but this does not prevent Joe from using it as "ammunition" against Carlo.
He made the plot of Carlo's murder of his husband into a spoof MV and released it online.
After that, until the intervention of federal agents, the fierce battle between the two temporarily came to an end.
The FBI eavesdropped and tracked Joe through "phishing law enforcement", and found out that Joe had intended to assassinate Carol .
As a result, a generation of tiger kings was finally thrown into prison on suspicion of murder and wildlife crimes.
One of the reasons why "Tiger Raising" has aroused widespread discussion in the United States is, of course, the magic of the plot.
The film not only staged many unbelievable bloody dramas, but the most thought-provoking thing is its close connection with reality .
It is quite interesting that American netizens once regarded Carlo and Joe PS in the film as two old enemies in American politics: Hillary and Trump .
And give a bit of irony: the latter is a real villain, the former is a hypocrite .
Outside of the film, although the configuration of all the villains can be seen at a glance, Joe's final imprisonment still aroused the indignation of the audience.
Netizens raised tens of thousands of signatures to petition for Tiger King Joe.
Even pop star Kadibi tweeted in support, getting involved.
But if you look at the whole event from a broader perspective.
The fight between this gang of tiger farmers is as brutal and rude as beasts vying for territory .
When drug lords, liars, hooligans, and cult leaders are vying for fame and fortune, the Big Cat Safety Law, which can provide more protection for big cats, has not been passed.
No one rescues tigers, no one cares about the rights and interests of big cats, and only human beings always benefit.
Perhaps, this is the most magical part of this high-energy documentary.
As an employee at Tiger King Zoo put it -
"There are no winners, everyone here is a so-called animal rights advocate. Not a single animal has benefited from this war, not one."
