The story of Joe Exotic, a big cat owner who housed the largest number of tigers and lions at his roadside zoo in Oklahoma, USA and his rivals, other big cat owners.
You can't help but feel it's the animals that really suffered here and were exploited by Joe and others as a means to make a lot of money and make him famous (a life long dream it would seem).
It's a sad reality and portrays how humans selfishly lack ethnics/morals just to take a cute shot with a tiger cub and keep the trade going.
It's interesting that Joe originally set up the zoo to conserve tigers and eventually put them back in the wild. This never happens. The documentary highlights the crazy world of the big cat and other exotic animal trade in the USA, which is rife, how they are imprisoned in smallest cages, all for humans to marvel at. It also chucks in some rednecks and potentially, the worse kind of people you'll ever meet.
Hopefully this documentary will raise awareness that these kind of places should be shutdown, as animal abuse is rife and the government actually pass the well overdue 'Big Cat Act', so these animals can one day live back in their natural habitat and not in a cage.
Maybe if these people were properly educated they could get a real job and not have to exploit animals lifelong.

I first saw this film when I was 6 years old and I remember being amazed by it. It's epic, colourful and a true fairy tale. Conrad Veidt is so mesmerising and charismatic as Jaffa, a evil sorcerer who tries to steal the love of the princess.
I saw this film again recently, fast forward 33 years and it is still timeless and magnificent as the first time I saw it. It's amazing to think it was made in 1940 at a time when WW2 broke out.
It is based on the story of Ali baba and the 40 thieves and the premise for the film, which later became Aladdin. It is an epic adventure, which is rarely seen in films today. I also don't think there is an actor of modern day quite like Conrad Veidt, he is outstanding and a rarity.
I hope Hollywood never choose to remake it.

This film is truly a load of tripe. The actress who tries to replicate the Australian accent is the worst I've ever heard..It's hard to manage that the director actually allowed this and didn't replace her, why didn't they employ an Aussie actress. The acting and storyline is bad and it's crazy to believe that someone of Scarlett Johansson's status and creditability actually agreed to do this film. A slippery slope for her.
