Like this movie, what do you like about it? The name, and this thing -- salmon fishing in Yemen -- sounds like a misson impossible, doesn't it? The picture is beautiful, which is also a reason. There is also the occasional light humor and political banter. What else?
Maybe it's because this film implicitly implies something: upstream. When I saw Jones turned back and shuttled through the crowd to meet Harriet, who was sad because of the loss of her boyfriend, he should have fallen in love with Harriet. When I saw the artificially farmed salmon swimming in the water, I didn't forget the instinctive migration, yes, upstream. And what supports this upstream is faith, and faith in faith, faith in love.
When Mary discovered Jones's affection for Harriet, Mary said to Jones who ran to the fish pond to feed the fish: "In six months you will beg me to let you back, It's in your DNA." Playing back this sentence, the picture appeared It's migrating salmon, and the movie takes a turn. Jones looks weak (he got into Mary's umbrella without hesitation, and Mary went to Geneva without discussing with Jones, which shows both Mary's ego and Jones' weakness or accommodating), and claimed that he didn't Faith, but this is only a surface, not a fact. The chief pointed this out sharply: without faith, would you wait ten hours just to catch a salmon? ! Or Jones was weak at first until his inner faith was awakened. At first Jones' attitude of insisting that fishing for salmon in Yemen was impossible also changed, "They'll run, I know it". "I'm absolutely sure of it." "I just know it." When the chief said "Faith, Dr. .Alfred." Jones smiled and said "Damn it. Yes, all right, then, faith."
However, when everything seems to be going smoothly, the Yemen salmon project is going smoothly, and the relationship between Jones and Harriet is almost complete, and the turning point has come again. Harriet's boyfriend who ran to the battlefield escaped and returned to her. The Yemen salmon project was in a mess when the vandals opened the floodgates. Jones lost everything, the relationship he was about to start, and the salmon project where he put a lot of energy into, and the little flame of faith that had just been ignited was almost extinguished. Now, it's salmon again! The movie climaxes when a salmon leaps out of the remaining water. Feelings and projects both return.
The image of the salmon jumping up is really exciting, the awakening of faith is really exciting.
