Any similar movies? I loved this!


Heyo, I just watched Salmon Fishing in the Yemen, and I loved it. It's such a simple love story, instead of these other modern movies all about trying to inflate our relationships so much so as to make it seem like they're so special.

Was just one mans love for fishing being introduced to a similar interest of a man wanting to bring fishing to his country. And of course a woman who is in need of healing after losing her lover. Either way, it was a very nice, simple movie.

Makes me understand why fishers do what they do and why they enjoy it. At least the pleasure fishers, not the ones who work daily just for a paycheck and don't care. Either way, there was a lot of knowledge to get from this movie, was definitely worth it.

Can anyone suggest any other movies similar to this same idea? The simple love story kind of deal.

Thanks guys and gals! :)

PS: How can you think that the soldier was better than Alfred? I mean, sure he's a handsome guy and such, but come on, he was a dick. 'It's ridiculous, bringing salmon to the Yemen'. If you don't understand someones love for something, don't judge 'em for it.
