The protagonist Walter is a standard "emotional" person, a high school teacher, with a meager income, a happy and harmonious family, a good neighbor, a good father, and a good husband. He is ordinary but too ordinary, but he is a talented person, a man in his bones. For a person who is unwilling to be calm, his early scientific research achievements have been handed over in vain, and this ordinary man who has "used up his whole life" has a strange feeling in his heart, and the blow of cancer further makes him feel for himself and his family. The unwillingness and shame were growing, and it was clear that Walter was not as honest as he seemed, as evident from his dislike of family gatherings, he hated being under the pity of others. , I hate being a poor relative of a brother-in-law who can always be the focus. I can only say that his own arrogance and self-inflated desire have not yet found an outlet to release, so he has lived so ordinary for most of his life, and he Once you find a way to release it, you get out of hand.
The cancer incident just gave him a reason and an excuse. I said earlier that he is an emotional man, and his original intention of selling drugs is indeed to make the family live a good life, and the children have a good education, so that he can drag His dying body has finally made some contributions to the family, which is not so "useless", but there is also a sense of achievement and pride brought to him by the drug production, maybe this is the first in his life. For the first time, I felt that "I can't do it without me, I'm the best, no one can match me" sense of superiority, and what this feeling means to a man who has been ordinary for most of his life, complex and talented in his heart What? It means that drugs, like the things he made, will be completely inextricable once they are contaminated. If a drug addict's poison is heroin or ice, then Lao Bai's drugs are the first in his life. The first time I tasted it, it was also the best taste—a sense of identity.
I remember someone said that in fact, Lao Bai should stop after earning enough money, but he can't control it anymore, he can't deny the feeling he likes, like a drug addict, always wanting more, indeed This, but there is another reason, that is, when he first killed and destroyed the corpse, he actually couldn't go back, just like the name of the show, breaking bad, he has already started this journey, How can you calmly withdraw from this bloody journey and live a life with a clear conscience? Is there any other way to go except one way to black? If Lao Bai kills people and earns enough money to enjoy his old age with his wife and children, then not only does it not conform to the theme of the play, it is estimated that the screenwriter will also be scolded for his three views.
As mentioned earlier, Lao Bai is an emotional man. He started selling drugs for the sake of his family because of his emotions. Since then, his out of control is also an emotion, an act of pursuing a sense of identity and a sense of existence. Later, he and The various entanglements between Xiaofan and Fried Chicken Obama are more of an emotion, and his cultivation and love for Xiaofan is not only because he is cultivating people he can trust, but also has a kind of emotion similar to family. Parents kicked out of the house, like a lost child, and he unknowingly took on part of the responsibility of "father", helping him detox, killing fried chicken Obama's men for him, can only say that although old Although Bai did not use his mind to be nice to Xiaofan, he absolutely cannot say that he has no pure love for Xiaofan at all. For example, when Sol suggested to kill Xiaofan, Lao Bai immediately vetoed "no family" even in the end. Because Hank's death and Xiaofan's betrayal made him finally kill Xiaofan, at the last moment, he still let him go.
It's a bit ridiculous to say, although Lao Bai's original intention is for his family, and his purpose of making drugs gradually deteriorates, but his family is still his bottom line, that is to say, although he has killed many people, his original intention to treat his family Lao Bai has never changed, even if In the end, Hank cut his favor on him, desperately trying to catch him and drive him to a dead end. When Hank's life was threatened, he still did his best to protect him, even if all his efforts were wasted, he would still Save him, Hank said to him, you are the smartest person I have ever met, why are you so stupid that you can't see it through? Why can't you see through? It can only be said that when Lao Bai encounters the interests of his family, he really cannot see through it. The family is his death point, so the drug empire he once fantasized about will never be realized. How can people in caves build a criminal empire so easily? Even the fried chicken Obama, who has established a huge drug distribution network, would be so easily killed by Lao Bai if he hadn't never let go of the old wheelchair man who killed his best friend?
But at the end, the people around Lao Bai, who is the most emotional, kept away from him one by one, his wife, son, relatives, and even Xiaofan. Even though Lao Bai's bottom line was his family, from the moment he broke bad, In fact, he has been struggling between his family and himself. What did Lao Bai lose? He was defeated by his growing conceit, and even when he finally let go of everything and prepared to live a peaceful life with his family, the consequences of his conceit were overwhelmed. It’s no wonder that Lao Bai didn’t think of destroying this book. The approval of this book for him and the satisfaction it gave him are far beyond what we can imagine. It is precisely because of this book that Lao Bai has Bai finally lost to conceit, to the self he chose, not to be free, his mother would rather die, and as he finally confessed to his wife, "I am for myself, I like it very much"
Another obvious emotional person is Xiaofan. His emotional level is even higher than that of Laobai. For example, he is a person who has infinite love for children. Although he is a little gangster who has nothing to do, his nature is kind. Being pulled in by Lao Bai, he still maintains his own nature, but it is precisely because this person is too emotional and too emotional that it leads to all kinds of things in the future. He is emotionally fragile, and relapse after detoxification is a matter of minutes. He may be the most emotional and emotional person in the play, and he also plays a very good role in promoting the plot. For example, when he becomes mentally disabled, Lao Bai will He came out to solve problems for him, and often he caused a lot of trouble, and it happened to play a big role in helping Lao Bai continue to break bad, but unfortunately, he is such an emotional person, but he still can't see it. The relationship between him and Lao Bai is really like family, otherwise why at the last moment, the two people who should hate each other so much that no one can pull the trigger?
After talking about emotions, let's take a look at the rational person in the play - Hank.
I didn't like Hank so much when he first came on the scene, he was always in the limelight at Walter's birthday party, and he always looked like a dick, but then I changed my mind about him, anyway, as a drug smuggler. The policeman, he is smart, devoted to his duties, and has good marksmanship. No matter how he looks at it, he is a person with strong comprehensive qualities, and it is obvious that he has extreme disgust and disdain for criminals. Others took pictures of him. When he found the video tapes that Gail left behind, he took them out for everyone to laugh at. It could be seen that he was extremely disgusted with sin. No matter what kind of person in his life, he committed a crime. It is unforgivable, and needs no mercy.
This may be the screenwriter's intention to foreshadow the change in attitude later, but when I saw that Hank knew the truth, the speed of the change in attitude still surprised me, although the criminal I had tracked for a long time was me My brother-in-law, the fact that he was obviously being played around in circles is very annoying and unbelievable, but Hank's look of wanting to delay Walter still makes me a little unacceptable, unbelievable, except for shock, I did not Seeing his many emotional struggles, it seems that his reason quickly and succinctly judged him that Walter is a criminal, and he will be brought to justice. Let him die so cheaply" In this case, such a Hank really has a clear love and hatred, and hates hatred, but it still makes me feel a little less human, and he is very human, but not so strong in morality. It formed a strong contrast, and I was biased towards Walter's side. After all, this is a TV series. Everyone still likes more emotional characters, but at the last moment, Hank Ning's unyielding appearance still touched me, although he It had long been seen that he would not survive, but at the moment of his death in duty, I couldn't help but feel a little bitter. No wonder they all said that love is not long, and it is easy to break!
What surprised me the most is that Miss Sky is actually the person in the play who combines emotion and reason. I believe many people will not like this character when they watch the previous seasons. This woman seems to be against everything. With the desire to control and to be curious, he asked this old white about things, and after learning the truth, he even wanted to divorce him. He condemned what he did and cheated with his boss. It's not surprising, after all, it's not surprising that a dangerous career like drug trafficking made her want to completely break away from Lao Bai. Later, when she learned that she was already inseparable from this matter and chose to launder money with Lao Bai, it showed that this was a A very sensible woman who knows how to judge the situation and is not stupid, but the affair with her boss makes it difficult to think that she is a sensible person, and when Walter finally buried the money and returned home and fainted, she took good care of Lao Bai's The appearance makes me a little moved. She still has feelings for Lao Bai, but she also struggles between reason and emotion, and she actually does a good job, so although this role is annoying, it is undeniable that , Aside from being a bit shameless about cheating, she doesn't seem to do anything irrational. This is a woman who knows when not to be emotional and when to be rational, but once she does something wrong, she will pay the price. She gives Ted Making false accounts led to her having to use Lao Bai's money to plug the loopholes, which led to the collapse of Lao Bai's plan to take the family away and lead him to the next stage.
In fact, it seems that everyone in this show is breaking bad, at the moment when Laobai kills, when Xiaofan kills Gale, when Hank does everything he can to catch Laobai and even sacrifice Xiaofan At that moment, when Sister Sky proposed to Lao Bai to kill Xiaofan, it can only be said that everyone has a devil in their hearts, and Lao Bai released it completely.
In the end, Lao Bai found himself, lost his family, and lay in the place where he was proud and glorious. What kind of mood would he feel? I dare not judge easily. But at least I feel that I have lived a life for myself.
In fact, when Lao Bai's secret was discovered, the expected development in my heart was that the family was shocked, didn't believe it, and then struggled inside, but all the relatives of Lao Bai in this play almost immediately stood on the old man's side for the first time. The opposite of white, the commanding heights of morality, it seems that the previous family love can be broken down by sin. Maybe this is the difference between American thinking and China? But I think if something like this happens to a family, and that person is dying, maybe I'll let him live a peaceful life and then die, instead of making a mess and trying to bring him to justice Prison, this is what I don't understand. I think there are many more emotional people in real life. I understand why Lao Bai can't stop, understand why Sky sister doesn't support Lao Bai, but only I just don't understand why they have so little tolerance for a dying person, maybe it's because I'm not a rational person either.
