"Breaking Bad" - Peerless Family

Nella 2022-04-20 09:02:53

"Breaking Bad" has five seasons and 62 episodes. It's not very long because you're even expecting 63 episodes.

This is a rare good show. Every detail is done meticulously, patiently, and more intriguing, like the last shot of the last episode of the fourth season, the pot of lily of the valley in the protagonist's yard reveals that the real poisoner is someone else. A short paragraph at the beginning of each episode hints at something, the rag doll with one missing eye floats up and down in the pool, eerie and eerie, constantly attracting you to watch the story of this clip. One by one, it has been immersed in the scene.

My favorite is the hero Walter Hartwell White (Walter Hartwell White), who is also a peerless family in my eyes. The 50-year-old Walter family has a pregnant wife Skyler (Skyler), a disabled eldest son Walter Junior (Little Walter), and an unborn baby. The family relies on him for all financial expenses. And he is just a conscientious chemistry teacher. After class, he goes to the car wash to work part-time to support his family. The turning point of everything came when Walter found out that he had terminal lung cancer, time was short, and his family needed his income to make ends meet. If there is no treatment, the life time may be shorter. If the treatment is carried out, the huge treatment cost will make this family with a low economic income even more difficult or even bankrupt.

When he and DEA (U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration) brother-in-law Hank (Hank) participated in the destruction of the methamphetamine laboratory, he accidentally met his former student Jesse Pinkman (Jesse Pinkman), a drug dealer. In order to give his family enough money to survive after his death, he decides to take a risk, and works with Jesse to use his chemical knowledge to embark on this drug-making crime.

Taking this road of no return stems from his sense of responsibility, love and protection for his family. He calculated that he would have to earn enough $770,000 to allow his wife, eldest son, and younger daughter to have insurance, a house to live in, the tuition and living expenses of the eldest son, and the 18-year tuition and living expenses of the youngest daughter. Therefore, he has to create enough wealth in his limited life so that his family can live comfortably after his death.

In addition to his wife and children being family, another DEA brother-in-law, Hank, also treats him like family. Hank works for the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration, and his greatest worry is that Hank finds out that Walter is making drugs, and Hank has been searching for Walter's blue meth. In the final season, when Hank was about to be shot, he traded the $80 million he earned in exchange for this Hank who would expose all his crimes, saying that Hank was his family. In the end, seventy thousand dollars were taken away by a bunch of shameless prisoners, and Hank was buried in the pit where the money was originally buried. He would rather exchange all the money he had taken for this dangerous life. It can be seen that his love and protection for his family is so loyal and sincere.

And Jesse, this drug trafficking partner, he has long regarded Jesse as his family. Whether it's Jesse being beaten by two small drug dealers in the first episode of the first season, or being beaten half paralyzed by the big drug dealer Tuco later and lying in the hospital, he will seek justice for Jesse. Jesse wants to kill the two drug dealers who are using the children, and Walter rushes over to kill the two drug dealers with his car before the dealer shoots and kills Jesse. Whenever Jesse's life is threatened, he asks not to kill Jesse. He's giving money, even killing people, to keep Jesse, who is always in trouble and emotional. In the final episode, despite Jesse's hatred for Walt, Walter throws Jesse to the ground, worried that Jesse will be shot. Jesse wouldn't have survived without Walter saving Jesse's life time and time again. He has a genuine father-son bond with Jesse.

He loved and paid so much to his family, and finally got puzzled by the family, especially when little Walter said to him "Why don't you die", and Jesse hated him, how sad he should be. And even so, at the end of his life, he killed all the people who were a threat to his family, and then he was shot and lay in his beloved laboratory.
He achieved his original intention, leaving $9.2 million for his family.
