Good luck with your life, Jesse

Before talking about this movie, I must say something about the American drama "Breaking Bad", because this movie is a derivative version of the American drama.

The first time I started this classic American drama was December 2017, what I was doing at that time, or what kind of mood I had forgotten, at that time, Lao Bai and Jesse were both deteriorating, and a series of shit happened. The incident, so uninterrupted, climaxed until the end of the fifth season, and then I felt heartbroken.

There are too many spoilers. I won't repeat them here. At the end, looking at the calm smile on this old white face, the pictures from the previous five seasons seem to flash back, a kind of exaggerated black humor, unforgettable description of human nature. On the paper, I felt that it was not artificial at all. What kind of person Lao Bai was, he was still the same in the end. It was only because of some external conditions that the mask in the original reality was removed, which made people applaud.

I personally think that this American drama may be delayed by the translated Chinese name. In fact, the original English sounded more domineering, desperate, poison master? It feels like a superhero movie or something. In fact, the original Breaking Bad is the most suitable, but sometimes the translation is redundant, and the original literal meaning is difficult to convey in Chinese.

Going back and talking about this movie, the time point just coincides with the time after the finale of the American drama. At that time, the other protagonist, Jesse, didn't explain much, and I didn't expect to use such a movie to explain it, which is also very good.

In fact, from the beginning to the end, Jesse has always been a kind child. Step by step, he was led by the old white on this road of no return. In the end, he was still kind. Even the robbery was so innocent. Anyone can bully.

Fortunately, the switching of the timeline is not that complicated, and some of the previous episodes are gradually recalled. Jesse's two friends helped him when he was in the most difficult time. This is something I didn't expect. In my impression, this The two friends were also scumbags, and they didn't expect to be so emotional in the end, because Jesse was a hero in their hearts.

With a new way back, I also asked questions, the life-saver, so that Jesse has a chance to live again, so there is a scene where Lao Bai asks Jesse what major he should choose if he goes to college. In fact, Lao Bai has always had him in his heart. Very good, always treat him as his student, always leave his life to him, because he is a mortal person, to a certain extent, Lao Bai is completely bad, and he is also relieved, at the end of his life At the peak of his life, Jesse was confused by him, and was used in desperation. In the end, he had a good explanation, and his hanging heart was put down, because there is hope for everything, and the road is ahead. Down the road in Alaska...

    It's a purely fan-oriented movie, so that I have to revisit the ending to remember the story. The ending of Lao Bai is perfect, but the ending of Xiaofan has left the audience full of doubts. This film has a small format and a short time. A brief continuation of the original drama, different from Lao Bai's pure "big things", Xiaofan has always been synonymous with a simple and unthinking impulsive life, from being taught to being manipulated and rescued, in a sense The story of Breaking Bad is the history of the growth of the brain-disabled fans. He is the best disciple of the old white teacher. In the movie, the little fans who survived the catastrophe used the experience they learned to be brave and resourceful to get the tickets for a new start. sigh. Especially the last flashback of Lao Bai's persuasion to learn and his girlfriend's persuasion to persuade people to sigh.

  • [flashback; Jesse makes a pineapple salad out of a breakfast buffet]

    Jesse: Yeah, bitch.

  • [final lines]

    Jesse: I was thinking about that thing you said about the universe. Going where the universe takes you? Right on. It's a cool philosophy.

    Jane: I was being metaphorical, it's a terrible philosophy. I've gone where the universe takes me my whole life. It's better to make those decisions for yourself.
