Personally, this is a weird movie

This is a weird movie. After watching it, I really don’t know if it is the screenwriter’s problem, the director’s problem, or the website where I watched the movie. In short.... Actually there are a lot of shining points in the story, such as the words of the female news diplomat, the Minister of Environmental Protection, the chief, and so on. But I feel that the whole movie seems to be inadequately controlled, which is a bit of a waste of screenwriting and lines.
The whole movie looks a bit like visiting a house with all the furniture covered in white plastic bags.

Salmon Fishing in the Yemen quotes

  • Dr. Alfred Jones: Did you get my email?

    Bernard Sugden: Yes. What did it say?

    Dr. Alfred Jones: Took the meeting. Waste of time as predicted. Now if you don't mind I'll get back to my work.

    Bernard Sugden: Dr. Jones.

    [holds up a document which Dr. Jones takes]

    Dr. Alfred Jones: What is this?

    Bernard Sugden: P45.

    Dr. Alfred Jones: I'm sorry. I don't, I don't understand.

    Bernard Sugden: Oh, well, a P45 is the official document given to an employee when his services are no longer required by his or her employer.

    Dr. Alfred Jones: Yes, but Bernard, this has got my...

    Bernard Sugden: Or, you can sign this letter stating that you are delighted to assign yourself exclusively to the Yemeni salmon fishing project with immediate effect. Up to you.

    Dr. Alfred Jones: But Bernard, you know as well as I do this thing is a bloody joke. Where the hell you gonna get salmon that far...

    Bernard Sugden: [interrupts and taps the P45] Just there.

    Dr. Alfred Jones: This is blackmail Sugden. This is a bloody outrage.

    Bernard Sugden: Fitzharris & Price will be paying your salary while on secondment. Almost double what it is now. I'd say that's a bloody outrage.

    Dr. Alfred Jones: Double. Can I have time to think about this?

    Bernard Sugden: Nope.

    Dr. Alfred Jones: Can I borrow your pen?

    Bernard Sugden: Yah. It's my special one with the italic nib.

    [Dr. Jones grabs it, scribbles his signature on the P45 and storms out]

  • 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.
