It is better to teach people how to fish than to teach them how to fish.

Fish=Faith. It is a slightly hypocritical but wonderful setting for this film. I even speculated that it was the source of inspiration for this story. "This is nothing to do with fishing", Yemeni tycoons finally couldn't help but say. I actually hope he would not say it, but obviously the director and screenwriter can't help but can't wait to shake out this burden that people who watch movies with a little bit of attention will understand: listen well, this story is not about fish, but about faith.

Press the two protagonists first. PR for PM played by Kristin Scott Thomas is basically responsible for the laughter of the film. When she was cooking while answering the phone call at work and examining each child who was going to school one by one, her husband was the last one to come down the stairs --- the director used a visually clear queue to convey a message that was hard to ignore- --- A husband is like a son. Husband is just one of the children who need to be taken care of in the two families of business women. The dialogue between her and the Prime Minister is even more of a sign that the Prime Minister "all for the public, all for the voters". The dialogue can be described as "satisfied" and cute. In her eyes, the Prime Minister is just another child who needs to be disciplined.

Let's talk about the Yemeni rich. Even though everything at the beginning was like a "lavish joke", you end up admiring him inexplicably. Salmon? no, salmon fishing. Fish is not important, but fishing is. Being able to fish means water, living water, and living fish. Only live water and live fish can bring hope to the dry desert and bring real industry to the people there. However, the greatest damage and difficulty he encountered came from his own people, just like all innovations and reforms.

The two protagonists also fulfilled their obligations. All the contradictions, all the affection, all the struggles are closely connected with Yemen's Salmon. From the beginning of opposition and resistance and almost losing his job, to the final devotion and willingness to resign, Mr. Doctor went through a cycle and found his true self and a true spiritual partner. He said without concealment: I love her. At this moment, my dissatisfaction with his marital infidelity instantly collapsed. Although this kind of derailment scene is most likely to cause disgust, but Mark Gregg is so cute that it makes people feel compassionate. It turns out that values ​​are so easily kidnapped, as simple as a pair of irresistible gentle eyes.

  • Tom Price-Williams: Have you any idea what an outcry there'd be if the Environment Agency stripped British rivers of *ten thousand* salmon and shipped them off to the effing Yemen?

    Bernard Sugden: Well how many can you spare?

    Tom Price-Williams: None! Christ! Bernard. Anglers, they're obsessive crazies. You think Al-Qaeda are a threat, think again mate! I've seen a fly fisherman wade into a river and try and drown a canoeist just for passing by in a Day-Glo jacket. You haven't got a hope in hell of getting these fish from British rivers.
