drama can become a drama The tension of the plot woven between the characters is outrageous . In the play, a person can become a living "person" instead of an actor with good acting skills. The key lies in how real and unique the character's portrayal is, that's right , "truth" and "uniqueness" are inseparable, and the characters in all kinds of low-scoring mindless dramas that are cookie-cutter and nutritious are unique, but they lack authenticity. The strings of the limbs of the mask or the puppet, and then the actors deliver the answer sheet according to this intention; and the drama that is too real but lacks uniqueness is no longer a film and television drama, because most of us live in such a "real" In this world, we don't need to go to the screen again to find such a dull sense of "reality". "Real" and "unique" have shaped every vivid character from the protagonist to the supporting role in the whole play, and these characters, together, have created a whole set for us that makes you unable to use "wonderful", "good" and "good". "Bad", "smart" and "stupid" are used to describe the character groups and storylines. Everyone is complex and full, but everyone is also unique and simple.
Walter White, an ordinary high school chemistry teacher, got cancer while his house had more than ten years of mortgage loans and his wife was pregnant with a son with mild mental retardation. He began to want to use his chemical knowledge to make drugs for his children. The next considerable "legacy" begins the whole process of the protagonist of the whole play moving step by step to the end of the drug lab. Is Walter "bad", no, all his motives, including drug making and killing, Building a drug empire and making videos threatening Hank, as he said, are for family, so is he a good person, in turn, for his family and his inflated conceited desire for power that re-emerged after leaving the gray matter that year enabled him to Cruelly destroying all those who threaten him does not prove that he is a good person. Like most of the better works, the protagonist of Breaking Bad is not so simple that it can be defined only by good and bad, so go deeper So, is it more reasonable to describe Walter as a tragic figure who was once very ordinary but gradually went dark and destroyed because of cancer and reluctance for his family, or that he finally saved Jesse, killed Jack, etc. and finally succeeded? Leaving more than 9 million bequests to his family is a happy ending for Walter, so is the whole story actually a happy ending, also not
because of what we say about society, about human nature, about law and morality and everything else , is based on all the knowledge and experience we have cultivated and learned over the millennia and the life we have lived.
To Hank, Walter is a heinous liar, to Skye, Walter is a terrible but pitiful stranger who is selfish and doesn't know how to care for his family, and to Jesse, Walter is a A clever but cruel old bastard who fell in love with himself and killed himself. For Gal and Todd, Walter was a mentor and talent with extremely high intelligence and chemical talent. For Gustavo, Walter was a man with Ambition needs to be cautious about potential threats of exploitation and defense. For Mike, Walter is a "time bomb" who does not want to control everything madly all the time. For Sol Goodman, Walter is a smart but sometimes Terrible top employer who doesn't listen to his own advice. In the eyes of each "other vivid character", Walter has a different character trait, and in the eyes of the audience, so does such a flesh and blood character
Many people said they liked Gustavo Flynn the most after watching the whole show, and some people said that they hated Pinkman and Skye. This is also based on the evaluation and opinion made after understanding these characters, saying There are very few people who like Walter the most or hate him the most, because we don't know how to use the values we have learned from this society to tolerate and evaluate him, no matter whether it is black or white, good or evil, it can't be done. The characteristic is that people have no desire to make any evaluation after watching it or even can't even finish it. The characteristic of a well-behaved drama is that people can be calm after watching it and can make a consistent evaluation of the protagonist with friends around it. The characteristic of a good drama is that it can trigger people's thinking about the fate and life of the protagonist after watching it, and then shift to thinking about themselves, society and even the philosophy of science. Evaluating our own life and society has become meaningless, because we are no longer a critic and scrutiny, and the characters in the play stand in front of us vividly. We cannot be true and reasonable without clear moral boundaries for complexity Existing people make explicit criticisms and inferences, because that makes us seem conceited and stupid, and leaves us vulnerable to legitimate attacks from entirely different viewpoints.
Walter is a living person. When Jesse persuaded him to let him go after selling methylamine to get 5 million yuan, he left Gray Matter for 5,000 yuan. We can see that this decision more than ten years ago has a subconscious effect on a person's life. How subtle is the impact, although Walter, who became a teacher later, was not rich but amiable every day, this "wrong" decision decades ago was never erased in his heart, so that it finally affected his decision to get methylamine. The unwillingness of the drug maker to expand his drug empire, the same unwillingness was also manifested long ago when Walter Ning made drugs and refused to accept the assistance of the Elliotts. Because I have been living a relatively useless life for more than ten years, but I am indeed a chemistry genius, so after I successfully killed Gus, I won and finally took Holly and called Skye to hold back tears The emotional entanglement of calling Skye how stupid and idiot also makes this conceited and inferior feeling vividly manifested. This kind of in-depth character portrayal is not only once or twice, but also in the behavior of the protagonist and other characters throughout the text. It is reflected in the details that Hank, a tough guy in the west who has obsessive-compulsive disorder to investigate the crime to the end, has the kind of personality change after he feels that he can't bear it. Skye, who has zero tolerance for her husband's hidden secrets and no sharing, chooses to fight against her at all costs, and even chooses to give up her desire to resist cheating with the handsome Ted. From time to time, he is addicted to theft. The ubiquitous purple furniture in the house likes Mary with a big mouth. Even when Hank is sick in bed, he will still go to the place to sell the house and do some handy things. Gustavo was not born Gustavo, he once thought desperately for his brother to be killed in front of his eyes; the bald killer duo were not born cold blooded killers, because they have a cold blooded killer without blinking an eye Heck To educate people; Mike is not a born first-class killer, but many years of experience in the police and underworld and too much sophistication, so that he no longer trusts everything except his granddaughter, even his own boss Gus is just a simple interest relationship , after Gus's death, Mike once said to Walter, "We originally had everything, Gus, a laboratory, and money, but you want to blow him up and blow up everything." The granddaughter's old man is perfectly portrayed.
If there is no Walter, the vividness of every other character in the play can also kill the characters in other brain-dead film and television dramas in seconds, reaching an absolute professional level. Goodman, Jesse Pinkman who kills all the other gangsters in seconds, Mike who is professional and calm like Killer 47, Hank who investigates the case unselfishly and deeply, and Skye and Walter Jr., who play the family drama in the ups and downs, because of them It is both "real" and "unique", and on this basis, the complex character of Walter, who is perfectly portrayed by a god, is added, so that the whole drama instantly rises from "excellent and high-quality work" to a higher level of "divine drama".
"Game of Thrones" is an excellent work, but it cannot become a drama, because every character in it is real and unique, but it is limited to this, and even the adaptation of the screenwriter after he left the novel author in the later period has already lost it. It is not supported by a godlike character like Walter. Fortunately, the huge spatial lines and scenes play a certain supporting role.
If the portrayal and description of the characters are enough to elevate the play to the level of a masterpiece, then the countless details and auxiliary plots in the play magnify this level to the extreme. Many of these details have been unearthed on the Internet. I found a few of them and put them here. The painting in the hospital in the third episode of the second season and the painting at Uncle Todd's house in the eighth episode of the fifth season appeared twice. The picture is The family bid farewell to the man who traveled far in the boat, indicating that Walter had left his original life trajectory and started a path opposite to the righteousness and evil of his family
.
The knives of the singing voice are exactly the same
In the eleventh episode of the fourth season, Hector is watching TV in the nursing home. The TV is playing the 1957 movie "The Bridge on the River Kwai", the content is a shape similar to Walter later. The bomb made was very similar to a bomb, and it exploded after dripping, killing the people next to it.
Hector later killed Gustavo with a bomb.
In the twelfth episode of the fourth season, Saul asked Pinkman to come to him. Before entering the door, Shure searched Pinkman's body. After searching Pinkman, Shure put something in his left hand. out of the pocket, that's the cigarette.
In the eighth episode of the fifth season, Walter met Lydia at the restaurant she was most familiar with, and the purpose was to get Lydia to hand over the list of nine people under Mike. But after careful observation, you will find that Walter actually has other plans. He is going to kill Lydia after she hands over the list, so he hides ricin in his hat, but then Lydia suddenly proposes to cooperate with Walter , said that the international market could be developed, allowing Walter to make a fortune. So I didn't kill her at that time, and I didn't take out the toxin until after I left.
Then went home and hid the ricin behind the power outlet.
Walt later returned home in the final episode to retrieve the toxin from the socket and poisoned Lydia in the same location in that restaurant.
When Walter was found in the supermarket, there was a pink teddy bear on the shelf on his right.
In the last episode of the fifth season, Pinkman made a wooden box in a dream, and he was interpreting it before. It was mentioned at the meeting that it echoed his sympathy and kindness when dealing with children, and revealed his deepest desire for a better side.
Season 4, Episode 13, Sol's The female secretary is cleaning some documents with a paper shredder. It can be seen from the picture that this piece of paper is a class schedule with some notes next to it, marking the time for school to go to school. It should be that Walter asked Sol to eat lily of the valley flowers for the child, and Sol wrote down the child's curriculum.
There are many similar details, so I will not enumerate them one by one. In addition to these outrageous details, the director's ability to design and control the camera is equally commendable, such as the last few episodes of Walter Pinkman driving an RV to make drugs and the same scene in the last scene where Jack first kills Hank's desert transition ,
Lydia and Todd came over like a stranger on a date and put on a chair so that we viewers also didn't notice his presence,
The vision of the room post in the middle of the conversation when Walter and Skye met for the last time Blocking, etc.,
If the portrayal of the characters reflects the power of the screenwriter's brain, then these details and the ability to control and grasp the plot space line and timeline reflect the director's power, and with a strong screenwriter, With a strong director, how can the whole drama not be divine? (Reminds me of Nolan, who is both a strong screenwriter and a strong director. Let me give you a thumbs up.)
Since there are characters and shots, the plot is almost a matter of course. Some people say that poor screenwriters are making up stories, okay The screenwriters are making people. With a complete and powerful group of characters, the collision between them will inevitably result in a plot worth savoring. The screenwriter once said that when they took the script, Showtime, FX, TNT, HBO and many other TV stations all played together. Brush threw the "Breaking Bad" script he handed to the trash, on the grounds that the story of a middle-aged uncle dealing drugs in New Mexico was not attractive enough. But the really powerful script lies in this, not making up stories, but creating people, creating unique and real people, so even the plot outlines that are not so moving have touched the hearts of every audience under the interpretation of living people. emotion. You will sincerely regret and think about the death of every character in the play. Even the slaughterhouse and the killer brother, who have not played many times, are still fresh in your memory.
"Breaking Bad" is such a perfect state where many lively characters gather in one performance, and adds a higher level of superb portrayal of the poisoner Walter, which makes this drama a far-reaching drama in my mind. A super-professional drama.
Game of Thrones majors, Inception majors, and Romance of the Three Kingdoms majors have shrouded these film and television dramas, but Breaking Bad has shrouded the majors.
