Watch: Ming of Harlem: Twenty One Storeys in the Air 2014 123movies, Full Movie Online – A documentary exploring secret lives, behavior and extreme levels of human-beast intimacy and communication, focusing on the ‘only in New York’ story of Antoine Yates and his cohabitation in a Harlem high-rise with Ming, a five-hundred-pound tiger and Al, a seven-foot alligator, combined with filmic observation of predators in domesticated geographies..
Plot: Ming of Harlem: Twenty One Storeys in the Air is an only-in-New-York account of Ming, Al, and Antoine Yates, who cohabited in a high-rise social housing apartment at Drew-Hamilton complex in Harlem for several years until 2003, when news of their dwelling caused a public outcry and collective outpouring of disbelief. On the discovery that Ming was a 500-pound pound Tiger and Al a seven-foot alligator, their story took on an astonishing dimension. The film frames Yates’s recollections with a poetic study of Ming and Al, the predators’ presence combined with a text by philosopher Jean-Luc Nancy, reimagining the circumstances of the wild inside, animal names, strange territories, and human-animal relations.

Like watching paint dry
About 70% of this documentary — about a nutjob up in Harlem who kept a pet tiger and alligator in a 3-room apartment until the tiger tried to chew his leg off and the cops showed up — is a staged static-camera recreation of a tiger and an alligator (not the real ones, whose names were Ming and Al) roaming around a studio-set facsimile of the apartment . Literally, for something like 40 minutes, all we see is an alligator wandering past the camera, sniffing something in a corner, disappearing again, then reappearing. Clearly the filmmakers didn’t have enough material from which to spin an actual documentary, which also explains the endless artfully-framed shots of Harlem streets and interiors, which seem to serve no purpose other than to fill up footage. The rest of the film is long tracking shots of a car driving around Harlem with the aforementioned nutjob, Antoine Yates, being chauffeured around to old haunts. I admit, he has a certain antic charm, but not nearly enough to glue this mess of a film together. When you realize, through Antoine’s comments, that he not only thinks there was nothing wrong with keeping a pet alligator and tiger in a Harlem apartment, but actually thinks more people should take this approach in order to somehow preserve our wildlife, you understand that there is no point whatsoever to watching this sleep-inducing exercise in idiocy.
