剧情介绍
这个故事审视探讨了欧洲对非洲的幕后枪支交易——俄罗斯飞行员把枪支送往非洲,之后把飞机装满鱼飞回欧洲。
这种贸易的危害和后果之一就是武器不断流入非洲大陆所引起的暴力和战争。
如果这个世界的规则是像达尔文所说的“适者生存”,那赞助枪支贸易的资本家就脚踏着非洲人的利益站到了进化阶梯的高端。达尔文主义的鲜明例子。
就像维多利亚湖鲈鱼可预见的灭绝和维多利亚湖自身的死亡一样,非洲人正处于极度的危险之中,尽管他们在他们唯一懂得的途径中谋求生存。
The larger scope of the story explores the gun trade to Africa that takes place under the covers -- Russian pilots fly guns into Africa, then fly fish back out to Europe. The hazards and consequences of this trade are explored, including the pan-African violence propagated by constant flow of weapons into the continent. If it is a "survival of the fittest" world, as Darwin concluded, then the capitalist interests that fund the gun runners are climbing the evolutionary ladder on the backs of the Africans in this stark Darwinian example. Much like the foreseeable extinction of the Lake Victoria perch, and death of Lake Victoria itself, the Africans are in grave jeopardy, even as they survive in the only ways they know how.

以维多利亚湖为引 讲述黑非洲穷困的成因;入侵物种成为经济支柱 这真是只有非洲会上演的闹剧;对向往战争的老保安和渴望读书的妓女印象最深 还有片尾无家可归的孤儿枯坐在路边 在强力胶和烟草的麻醉下忘却现实的烦恼 这一切如末日的景象竟是另一片大陆上人们的生活日常 难以理解 难以想像;鱼类加工厂的工人把殖民者带来的入侵物种加工成鱼肉送回欧洲 欧洲人再把鱼肉变成枪来让非洲人自相残杀 多么讽刺的循环 多么魔幻的场景;驾驶员那句 “安哥拉孩子的圣诞礼物是枪,欧洲的孩子是葡萄”堪称神来之笔。
