《到也门钓鲑鱼》:也门巨富的诡异梦想
http://t1.g.hjfile.cn/listen/201204/20120420073344122728.mp3First though, a film in which the dangerous parts have largely been removed - Salmon Fishing in the Yemen is a spiky best-selling novel by Paul Torday about a whimsical scheme to introduce northern fish into a Middle Eastern desert. Few parties are let off the hook - the sheikh who dreams the whole thing up, the emotionally repressed fish expert who has to carry it out, or the government's spin doctor with a fish-eye view for publicity. Director Lasse Hallström has made from this a rather gentle comedy. An Oscar-winning screenwriter Simon Beaufoy's adaptation places the emphasis not so much on political satire as on the romance - namely, a burgeoning relationship between the scientist played by Ewan McGregor and a young English woman played by Emily Blunt.
"Here, it's very cold. It rains a lot. Here, it's very hot. It doesn't rain a lot. Do you see the difference?" "Well, you're pointing to Saudi Arabia, Dr Jones, not the Yemen."
Emily Blunt's dispensing geography tips to Ewan McGregor in Salmon Fishing in the Yemen. Is that kind of timing and deadpan delivery that brought Emily Blunt international attention when she was the acid-tongued fashion assistant in The Devil Wears Prada in 2006? Since then, she's been sharp as the young queen Victoria on the run beside Matt Damon in The Adjustment Bureau and in a series of American romantic comedies including the soon-to-be-released Five-Year Engagement.虽然，电影已经把小说最危险的那部分删掉，《到也门钓鲑鱼》是由保罗-托迪所写的一部尖锐的畅销小说，这本小说讲述的是一位也门巨富一直怀有一个怪异的梦想，将北大西洋鲑鱼引进也门沙漠的旱川。几乎所有当事人都为此大伤脑筋——妄想出这一计划的首领、压抑着情绪不得不想办法执行计划的鱼类专家，还有对宣传持怀疑态度的政府政治顾问。导演莱塞·霍尔斯道姆将这小说改编成了一部喜剧。奥斯卡最佳编剧西蒙·比尤弗伊在把这部小说改编为电影的时候，没有突出政治讽刺色彩，而是突出了男女浪漫的情感。电影讲述了由伊万·麦格雷戈所饰演的科学家和由艾米莉·布朗特所饰演的年轻英国女人迅速堕入爱河的故事。
“这里，非常地冷，因为经常下雨。这里非常地热，因为很少下雨。你看到了这两个地方的区别了吗？”“嗯，你指的是沙特阿拉伯，琼斯博士，而不是也门。”
在拍摄电影《到也门钓鲑鱼》里，艾米莉·布朗特会把一些地理常识告诉给伊万·麦格雷戈。她在2006年上映的影片《穿普拉达的女王》中饰演一位尖酸刻薄的时尚助理。是否是她那种简短、不动声色的说话方式让她获得了国际关注。从那时起，她在多部电影中大放异彩，饰演了年轻的维多利亚女王，在《命运规划局 》中和马特·达蒙一起逃亡，还出演了包括即将上映的电影《五年之约》在内的一系列美国浪漫爱情喜剧片。
