Talk about love, fishing

Good movies have a sense of texture that grabs you in the first few minutes. Yesterday's movie "Salmon Fishing in Yemen" was such a good British film. Speaking of British comedy sketches, you can count the past series of "True Love," "Calendar Girl", "Rock Pirates" and this year's "Marigold Hotel". A pair of Ukiyo-e, the brushstrokes vividly depict the light and shade of the world's human feelings, revealing black belly and self-deprecating humor everywhere, but also put on all kinds of small sensationalism of healing, and at the end, it does not forget a tail that makes people smile.
According to the title of the film, there are actually four core characters in the story. The wealthy Yemeni leader who loves fishing wants to be able to fish for salmon in the barren land of the Middle East. Emily, a clerk under the leader's investment company, contacted the engineering male fish for this matter. Uncle Ivan, the expert, and Sister KST, who is in the middle of the crisis in the Middle East, seized the great hype of this "positive news" to fuel the flames. The leader represents the king in the interest, who not only pursues ideals and trusts his partners, but also adheres to a belief, and does not give up even if he is hit by several assassinations. I have to add a good boss who gives unconditional support to the engineering male pursuing his subordinates all the way! The core male protagonist, Uncle Iwan, has remained cute for thousands of years. In fact, Yi is an honest man who has reduced most of his brilliance to play this half-life. He is more shy and moving when he is not good at words. No matter if he is comforting a brokenhearted woman late at night, he is still in his arms. Silent and gentle, or a variety of metaphors that make people almost laugh when confessing, or the courage to naively say I love her to someone's real boyfriend when he comes back from the dead, and the natural stun for a long time after being confessed at the end, It really makes people feel that engineering males have a unique flavor when they fall in love. The heroine's role is actually a little weaker, but Emily is also well-versed in acting as a literary girl, and the entanglement and final awakening in the face of the old love and the new love is very good. It means that two men can figure out who the three views are together without having to go to bed. It's not like the two men in this means war of the Yankees have no idea who to go to bed with.) Finally, I have to praise KST sister, all over They are all comedy cells. I thought she was very cool when I watched "The English Patient". Later, she was a bit funny when she played a tense mother in "Spirit". The chief press officer in this film is full of fire. It's the poisonous tongue that teaches the gods from all walks of life, the funny phone text message conversations, going to the Middle East to guide the country or huddling with children to play electric games, it's really funny enough to explode, okay? This is my ideal mother idol, like KST sister to pay tribute!
After complaining, let’s talk more serious. It is actually the theme of the film to discuss the way of life with fish corresponding to fishing. After all, according to the world view of efficiency, fishing is simply the most useless thing, let alone mobilizing salmon thousands of miles away, but one thing becomes the dream of life itself is the greatest value. Just like salmon, even after several generations, they still swim upstream. The story is about everyone searching for their dreams. And love is also sympathy on this road. Another small detail is Emily's brother-in-law boyfriend. After discovering her lover's entanglement, she was very open-minded and let her decide for herself. At the same time, the engineering male also said that this choice must be made by you. This kind of if love sth send it free The spirit is also particularly commendable, much more noble than the so-called patience of those cats tearing dogs and biting.

    [holds up a document which Dr. Jones takes]

    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.

  • 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.
