Walter White

The first and second seasons are actually more of the old white's contradictions and struggles. The mediocre middle-aged man, his powerlessness in the face of the oppression of life, made me worry about my middle-aged crisis again.

When we were young, everyone was like Old Bai, full of energy, discussing the composition of the human body with his girlfriend in the classroom, and exploring the weight of the soul. At that time, everyone was imaginative, believed that they were omnipotent, and believed in their ability to control the future. After middle age, life begins to feel down and down. When every decision you make is inseparable from money, you will always be down and down and feel sad and depressed alone. So when I first saw it, I was very nervous, because I was afraid that my future self would not be able to escape this appearance.

The changes in human nature have always haunted Lao Bai. Since he chose the path of making drugs, it is destined to be a path of betrayal and separation. He must be more ruthless when faced with opponents who have wiped out his humanity. From Crazy 8 at the beginning to Tuco later, every action of Lao Bai is a must for his role as a "drug dealer". His original intention was to use his residual heat by making drugs and leave happiness to his family, but once he entered this role, he gradually drifted away from this original intention. This is the inertia of this character. He pushes you and forces you to deviate from your original intention and original intention. It is difficult to let you turn and stop.

Jesse Pinkman

Xiaofan, drug addict, simple, a character that I have always hated. This is also the reason why I always think that the drama "Breaking Bad" is an anti-drug movie. After watching it, the old white can't help himself, and the ignorance and brain damage of the drug dealers can only be discouraged after watching it. Never touch drugs and become like them. In the show, when Jane and Xiaofan injected drugs, I really got goosebumps. It is also a form of artistic expression to show this thing naked in front of you and make you discouraged, such as "Attack on Titan", which is to achieve the purpose of anti-war through the theme of war. But we always advise and prohibit this kind of performance and avoid talking about it. In the end, people who come out of this environment will lose their ability to judge, and they are all giant babies. In fact, I have always been quite worried that the children in the future will have less own opinion.

Skyler

In the first two seasons, I think Skyler is the most ordinary and normal character. She is a housewife who does not work independently. After her husband has cancer and his temperament has changed drastically, she will inevitably have doubts and anxiety. I think it's really a normal wife's reaction. Madam, she does not allow any flaws in the people around her to appear, including her own sister stealing things, she tries her best to correct it. No matter what happens in subsequent episodes, Skyler was a very real character in the first two seasons. She is separated from the thrilling process of drug production, and is the sustenance and tie of the old white family. So much so that the audience has a feeling that once you start a crime, "a woman will only affect the speed at which you draw your sword". My favorite character, the lawyer, Goodman, is right. To do this, you don't need a wife, you need a lover. Of course, I started seducing Ted after I got to work. I think it really narrowed the way, unforgivable, and this is the dramatic conflict effect the screenwriter wanted. But for the previous characters, I think Skyler's performance is pretty much what I'd expect from a normal wife.
