"Salmon Fishing in Yemen": If you ask for a fish in the desert, you will get the bait

Yemen is a poor country with severe desertification at the southwestern tip of the Arabian Peninsula. Salmon, commonly known as salmon, is active in the northern part of the Pacific, and is the cold-water fish most afraid of heat. What the film demonstrates is how to migrate cold-water salmon to the rivers of a hot country to enjoy the thriving and thriving life. A hapless British salmon expert was forced to become one of the leading figures. From the initial rejection and sarcasm to obey orders, he broke through various obstacles and dangerous murders with the Yemeni chief and beautiful female assistants, not only achieving this impossible task, It also made a well-known story of fate. The emotional entanglements of the two and the false embraces of politicians are also interspersed with each other. Among the various plain and fresh beauty, it allows everyone to see how the BBC approach makes miracles ordinary.

In addition to conveying the greatest value of faith to the world, the biggest incentive to attract everyone is the play between British beauty Emily Blunt and a bit girly Ivan McGregor. The fresh love of literary and artistic style is mixed with the play of politicians and the thinking of the ecological environment. It can be regarded as a fresh commercial complex that is entertaining and enjoyable. This is the biggest difference between European movies and Hollywood. No matter how commercial European films are, there will always be a human part in it, while Hollywood productions, no matter how much humanity, there will always be commercial elements in it. Perhaps this is what Americans will never learn from Europeans. After all, the ancient culture of thousands of years cannot be digested instantly in two to three hundred years.

In addition, the film also let the world see that the world’s oldest colonial country, in addition to the image of a full-time colonial, can also fool some poor and backward countries to do unreliable things and gain incalculable politics for themselves. Capital, to realize the glory of political career. Moreover, I am also complacent about such shameful tricks, which shows how deeply the superior racial values ​​can not be removed. I just don't know if the poor salmon can quickly adapt to this sudden torture. What is certain is that such a costly luxury project is definitely not a happy project that benefits the people's livelihood for the local people living below the poverty line. In the film, the handsome Yemeni chief was assassinated several times, which is a reasonable act of anger.
