Rewatch the first season of Breaking Bad
I have come back to reminisce about the classics. As my favorite American drama (not one of them), it is not too much to watch it ten times.
When I chased Breaking Bad, I graduated from junior high school. At that time, I really felt that the progress in the first two seasons was too slow, and it didn't get better until the next few seasons.
However, when I re-watched it, I realized that the level of the first season of the show was enough to be a god! It's all because of being naive at the beginning, only pursuing plot stimulus, ignoring a lot of dialogue and close-ups.
However, the biggest highlight of this show is the ingenious depiction of those details. It can be said that no shot is wasted from beginning to end! When I was chasing drama, I heard that I only watched it because of the drama. I was chasing drama for the sake of chasing the drama. I didn't have the intention to understand the character of the characters. However, when I calmed down and carefully observed the actions of the characters through the lens, I discovered that all the choices and changes made by the protagonists in the later period were actually carefully prepared by the director from the first episode! ! I originally thought that the protagonist, Lao Bai, was forced to commit crimes because of various miserable experiences in life. After rewatching it, I discovered that he was actually flowing with devil's blood! It just no longer hides after being intensified by cancer. He was selfish and forced a small fan (Jesse Pinkman) to follow him to make drugs regardless of his safety; he has a strong self-esteem, and when he saw his former partner become a winner in life, he wanted to prove his worth through drug making . "Everything for the family" is only his side words, in fact, the real purpose is to satisfy his vanity.My favorite episode is the third episode. In that episode, Lao Bai found a piece missing by piecing together a broken plate and noticed the conspiracy of the person he was about to rescue, so he made up his mind to eradicate the opponent. At the beginning and end of the episode, there was a story: Lao Bai and his ex-girlfriend added all the chemical elements in the human blood according to their proportions and found that a part was missing. Finally, the ex-girlfriend asked him: Is that part the soul? This is exactly what the director Ge Ligan wants to tell the audience: Lao Bai is not gradually breaking bad (beyond sin), he is sinful in his bones. Let's talk about the DEA police officer Hank. He originally thought he was a resourceful and kind police officer who enforced the law impartially and thought about his family everywhere. However, he is actually an extremely conceited person. This is evident from the first episode of the party-he talked about his glorious deeds at other people's banquets. He acted unruly, domineering, clever, and looked down upon Lao Bai very much. He remembered a plot of a card game. The expression on his face was so unbelievable when he was put on a card because he underestimated Lao Bai. This also exposed a huge weakness of him: he would never think that the drug lord he had been searching for was Lao Bai. Because he didn't want to believe that Lao Bai could beat him. Let’s talk about Xiaofan at the end. I don’t like this role very much because I think it was him who led Lao Bai to the path of no return, but in fact it was the opposite: it was Lao Bai who made him sink deeper and deeper, and suffered the next All kinds of pain. Since meeting Lao Bai in the first episode, he has been at the mercy of Lao Bai and can't get rid of it. In fact, he was the biggest victim of the whole incident. (So now he has become my favorite character...)The biggest feature of this play is that it can reveal the characters' personalities through subtle lenses, and promote the development of the plot through the characters' personalities. This is why the audience can fully participate in the plot and experience the emotional entanglements and experiences of the protagonists. With the changes in the world, the plot is therefore more reasonable and can withstand scrutiny, so that people can hardly find loopholes! This is simply the gospel of obsessive-compulsive disorder patients like me who can't understand the loopholes in the plot! The director's incomparably detailed and ingenious ideas made me want to stop from the first episode of the first season! ! In addition, one sentence summarizes the difference between this drama and most TV dramas: other good dramas usually only make the first season shine, and then the more they shoot, the worse, and this drama is from beginning to end. It has always maintained a super high standard, exquisite and brilliant, which can be called a miracle in the history of television.
