Give you a chance to build a dream

Yemen—close to the tropics, close to Arabia, where there is only wind and sand, is extremely deficient in water resources, with not enough rain at all.
Salmon-----As the male foot said excitedly at the beginning, living in a cold zone with plenty of rain, in a word, all it needs is a lot of water and a very low temperature.
Fishing-----a sport that is considered to be an absolutely static sport that requires absolute faith and a calm mind to complete.

The three words are quite understandable when understood separately, but it suddenly becomes difficult to understand when they are combined with "fishing for salmon in Yemen". When I first read the title, I thought that even a 90-minute movie would take a lot of time to catch a fish. It shouldn't be a science movie about fishing, but I heard the male foot tell the contradictions at the very beginning, although the email said It's the British peculiar tactful tone, but in fact, you are so desperate to catch a salmon in the desert, you have so much money that you have nowhere to spend it, are you throwing money at people now, are you really You love to dream so much, your brain is so scorched, right! ! !

The cute male foot is a little neurotic, but also has a little bit of sullenness and self-confidence of a tech nerd. He thinks that he wants to live in a safe and regulated society, and plays the role of a well-behaved civil servant. At the same time, he has a little longing for a beautiful family, and still retains his love for a stable life. He thinks he wants to build a warm and stable nest for his wife, and plays the image of a good husband and father. But the sport of fishing has already betrayed him. The super rich chief is really visionary. Just a short meeting shows that he is also a dreamer, and he quickly persuaded him to draw him to himself. Go to the huge dream building plan.

It is an interesting process to watch the male feet gradually go from crying and laughing to this project from the initial "are you kidding me" to the last "I will stay" without hesitation. I just recently reposted a Weibo saying that the worst feeling in the world is to doubt something that I have always believed in before, which just coincides with this process in the movie. It's just that maybe this is not a bad feeling for the male foot. He just gradually found his spirituality in the process. In fact, he is also a person who loves to build dreams. For things contrary to mainstream values, he would play a game of small fish and flying knives in an ordinary office. A few dance moves, a modest marriage and work have not worn away his dreaming nature, but the Yemeni fishing program has given him a chance to build it.

I have to say that the British actor Emily who plays the female foot is the main reason that attracted me to watch this film. This female assistant who is passionate about fashion and willing to work hard has long grabbed Hathaway a lot of light in my mind, and now I am happier seeing her acting skills become more mature and her face more beautiful. The female foot is just an investment intermediary consultant. In this process, she only acts as a mediator. It just happens that she takes over the special commission of the special customer, the chief. It just happens that she is also a very dedicated intermediary consultant. All interests are put first by the customer. No matter how bizarre the other party’s request is, she must do her best to provide satisfactory service. Therefore, if she believes in this project, it is better to say that she must believe in this project, even if it is only theoretically feasible. Even she doesn't believe it, then it's difficult for this project to proceed further. In general, she just happened to catch up with this fishing project. No matter how impossible your task is, she only needs to make money for the company and for herself. She is assigned a commission, as long as the customer can catch fish, she will complete the task and the world will be peaceful. You can say that she is a person with no dreams and only money , in order to understand those dreamers who are also full of bizarre ideas, in order to help them realize. It can be said that the female foot has shown her completely different dreaming nature from the male foot from the beginning. She is frank and sincere, while he is restrained and sullen.

It's just that her nature seems to have been cut off by the accident in the middle, and she can't go on. Who would have thought that the military officer boyfriend who had just been in love for less than a month would suddenly hear bad news. Do you think it was a Qiong Yao drama or a Korean drama? This is actually an embarrassing situation. She and him have only known each other for a short time. They fall in love with each other relying on the usual sex hormones. They will joke sweetly on the road, and they will also linger on the bed. The first love is hot and blind, it is everyone The love period that is often mentioned is originally just a boring and slag relationship, but in the play, it is specially explained that he is a soldier who is often dispatched to the Middle East war zone, and he has to be stabilized when the relationship is about to break away from the love period. When he was heating up, he was forced to accept military service for an unknown time limit. Of course, he had to make a promise with the female feet when he was in love. Otherwise, he might be considered a prodigal type who only played and didn't date, and he was also in love. Of course, the female foot must also promise that the soldier will wait for him, otherwise the sincerity she has always shown will only be regarded as a wolf-hearted, besides, since the man took the initiative to ask, can she be reasonable and not let him go down the stairs. If there are no messy plans and plots in the future, I believe that the female feet should slowly begin to regret that promise. To be honest, why is it not enough to know each other for a month, and spend more time in bed together than on the road? A man is so serious and compelled to make a promise to "wait for her no matter what", you must know that modern women's time is precious, and you can really learn Chinese thoroughly enough for you to learn Chinese, even for traditional Chinese women. You are willing to learn the way of chastity and wife, why do you still want to be a husband stone? So, it's really not necessary, but just because he is a special status of a Middle Eastern soldier, it seems that female feet will fulfill him.

But in the play, it created an even more embarrassing situation again. The lover I just met suddenly disappeared and I don't know whether to live or die. Normally, of course, she is grief-stricken like a female foot, but in the future, she will naturally calm down when she calms down. Put it all down, in the end, he is just a person who has not known enough for a month, why should he be sad for his death in this life, I believe that female feet will continue to doubt and self-doubt when they are sad, it is necessary Well, he's not yours, who told you that you just promised someone, is it too late to regret it now, is crying like this because you love him or pity him, you really fell in love after going to bed a few times Well, the female foot actually knows it in her heart, but if she doesn't show that worry, she will really seriously doubt whether she is too cold-blooded. All kinds of emotional conflicts erupted at the moment the bad news came. She was sad, but she was also very confused. Her heart was uneasy, she was not frank, and she didn't care about the salmon, those plans were off her. What a shit, in fact, she didn't care about fishing from the beginning to the end, she didn't understand at all, fish needing water was just as common to her as eating and pooping, not the point, the point was that she knew what she should do in her heart, And recklessly agreeing to be with the soldier was the beginning of her confusion, and she began to wonder what she really wanted.

But a visit to Yemen gradually made her realize what a dream is. It was the joy of swimming with people in the water; looking at a bright moon in the clear night sky; admiring a buoy that she didn't understand at all. But the bloodiness of the plot makes the female feet being tossed with intensity comparable to those of the protagonists in Japanese and Korean dramas. It's so hard to let go of self-esteem and then be lifted up by your resurrection from the dead. I don't want to yell on the spot. So are you a zombie, so can I not run over and hug you fiercely, so do you think I'm willing to leave the man who is so nice and cute to me, and it's super possible for us to develop further, so I Why such a cup! But women's feet are obviously not enough for soldiers' cups. After finally coming back from the battlefield, there are still people who hope to die. If I need equipment, I won't shoot you! The plot goes on here without any shame. I really think this show is so hilarious. I have never met a character. How much I wish you were dead, even though you did nothing to hurt the world. You're even a soldier who defends your home and country, but I still think it's better for you to die.

In this emotional ups and downs with three embarrassing twists and turns, the female foot finally completed her self-defense in Yemen. She really can't be tossed any more. People must be a little more cruel to others. For their own dreams, they can't always find steps for others to go down. She had to go on unswervingly, so she figured out that she would also stay in Yemen to be a dream builder, also to build a dream about finding herself, no longer a slave of love, but a dream. Be the leader of love.

Some people say that this play is nothing more than an ordinary extramarital affair and stealing food. If this play does not emphasize the feelings between the feet of men and women, maybe the theme of building dreams and finding oneself will be more profound. They really don't need to have any love feelings. Simple friendship seems to make the whole theme of the story much clearer. After all, in reality, there is no such thing as a relationship between a man and a woman that can easily develop feelings. They understand each other, help each other, and give each other An opportunity for everyone to build a dream is far more mature and memorable than a dog-blooded triangle between men and women.

    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. 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.
