In the desert, trousers with belts slowly descended from the sky. They were suddenly run over by a camper. The sky was dusty. The male driver wore only white high-waisted underwear and a gas mask with a hood. The man on the side was in a coma and a wolf behind Two other males fell down and moved with the car bumping.
The camper rammed into the sandpit, and the light green shirt hung on the rearview mirror and shook. The car stopped, the sand fell, the door opened, the liquid sloshed down, the driver seized the door, threw a flying mask, roared, and finally put on a shirt, suffocated and entered the car, picked up the gun and plugged the underwear, recorded the farewell, and walked on. On the main road, stand still, raise your gun, and aim at the direction of the sirens--
Black screen, next theme song, upper meth molecular formula C10H15N, upper chemical elements Br (bromine), Ba (barium), then connect the letters, Breaking Bad, start doing something bad.
Plot outline
Walter White, a high school chemistry teacher in a mid-life crisis, was diagnosed with lung cancer at the end of his life and decided to live his life. He asked his brother Hank Schrader to take him to observe the anti-drug operation. Student Jesse Pinkman (Jesse Pinkman), the two subsequently collaborated to produce nearly 100% pure methamphetamine.
In order to sell, Jesse went to Krazy-8 Molina, but the two sides got into a life-and-death situation due to a misunderstanding. In the end, Walt and Jesse survived and decided to end the cooperative relationship and part ways. At the same time, Water couldn't find a reason to explain his unusually late return, so he had to confess to his wife Skyler that he had cancer.
At the insistence of Schuyler and his son Walter Jr., Walter agreed to receive treatment, but turned down Elliot's financial aid without telling his wife and children, and went back to Jesse to make drugs. Because the income from drug trafficking was not enough to pay for the high treatment fees, Walter yelled at Jesse for mass sales. Jesse had to find the drug lord butcher (Tuco). Not only was he robbed of methamphetamine, he was beaten up by the butcher.
After learning that Jesse was seriously injured and admitted to the hospital, Walt shaved off a lot of hair that had fallen due to chemotherapy, wore a bald head, and went to the slaughterhouse alone under the alias Heisenberg, disguised as modified mercury fulminate. Methamphetamine bombed the slaughterhouse not only to quickly give money, but also agreed to buy a large amount of methamphetamine from Walt every week. Due to the large increase in supply, Walt and Jesse changed the formula to produce blue methamphetamine with a higher purity. Unexpectedly, when the delivery was delivered, the butcher suddenly beat the younger brother in a frenzy, and beat the witnessed Walt and Jesse. Frightened and frightened...
main character
Walter White / Heisenberg (Walter White / Heisenberg)
His wife Skeller is a full-time housewife, and his son Jr. Walter suffers from cerebral palsy, and his little daughter is about to be born. Walter goes back and forth between his home, school, and the car wash where he works. The days remain the same. Although he is the source of the family’s income, he has no right to speak. He teaches seriously at school but has no teacher’s prestige. He has no dignity at the car wash. Relatives and friends are kind but boring, and between husband and wife is not only controlled by Schuyler, but may not even take the initiative in sex.
Water used to lead a team to do Nobel Prize-winning research, but now it "reduced" to scrubbing students' cars. He was depressed, angry, and his self-esteem was severely impaired. He was also diagnosed with terminal lung cancer and died soon. So, Walt didn't want to keep his breath anymore, he didn't want to stand on his own anymore, he decided to live out of himself, and in order to live out of himself, he chose to start with making drugs.
Jesse Pinkman
Husband on the street, living alone at aunt's house. Although he had no goal and was second in words and deeds, he gained a wit after one thing. After seeing the god-level methamphetamine produced by Walter, his requirements for himself also increased. The heart is pure and kind, and he didn't change his attitude towards him even after he knew that Walter had cancer.
Due to lack of parental love, Jessie had to seek (kind) parent-child relationships outside, such as mature women, such as the former high school chemistry teacher-Walter. When Walt gets along with Jesse, he is more at ease than with his own son Walt Jr. However, the relationship between the two has changed with Water's changes, from equal division of labor, to Water leading drug production and drug trafficking, and now Walter even tries to influence Jesse's decision with words.
Also worth noting is Jesse and drugs. Drugs are not only a way for Jesse to escape, but also a means of courage. When Jesse wants to escape more and more, or needs more and more courageous moments, he will rely on drugs for longer and longer.
Theme of this season
Including change, duality, and gray areas, the three themes seem to be independent but closely related, as explained below.
Variety
Walter regards chemistry as a subject of study of change ("the study of change"), and as soon as the show was broadcast, with the teaser of the element table, the change soon came-Walter suffered from physical cancer, psychologically awakened, and It takes the form of break bad, and it is becoming more and more irreversible.
"Electrons. They change their energy levels. Molecules. Molecules change their bonds. Elements. They combine and change into compounds. Well that's...that's all of life....it's the constant. It's the cycle. It's solution, dissolution just over and over and over. It is growth then decay then transformation. It is fascinating, really." "Electrons, they change their own energy levels, molecules, molecules change their own chemical bonds. These elements combine to form compounds. This is life... It’s always the same, the cycle is endless, from dissolution to dissolution, from growth, decay, to transformation, and it repeats itself again and again, how fascinating."
Chemistry is change, and change is life, and life is change. Changes may happen gradually or quickly-as fast as mercury fulminate explodes, the energy is huge, which can make drug lords change their minds; gradually, as Walt's psychology and personality gradually tend to "Heisenberg", and his relationship with people and things around him , It also changes qualitatively with its own changes, even if it is difficult to detect, it will continue to proceed.
Mirror image, duality
"The term'chiral' derives from the Greek word'hand'. The concept here being that, just as your left hand, and your right hand are mirror images of one another, right? Identical, and yet opposite. (….) So, chiral, chirality, mirrored images, right? Active, inactive. Good, bad." "The term chiral originates from the Greek "hand". Its concepts in chemistry are the same but opposite, just like your left hand. It is a mirror image of each other with your right hand. (Omitted). The palm, hand, mirror image, one is active, the other is not active. One is good, the other is bad."
On the one hand, Walter is an ordinary person who keeps himself safe, and on the other is the meth "artist" (artist, note 2) who kills people, which is like a mirror image. If good and evil, good and bad can exist at the same time, then opposing things and conflicting emotions can also coexist, such as "let the little eight live" and "let the little eight die", such as "love" and "not love". Most of the time, the character moves between two extremes. There are black and white, but not black or white, which is the next theme.
Grey area
The main theme of this play is that people can be both good and evil at the same time, as well as self-esteem and low self-esteem. Emotions can be neither love nor non-love, but sway in the middle ground, which is why we can say that Schuyler is self-centered, but it is difficult to accuse her of not loving Water.
Watt's pseudonym "Heisenberg" directly reflects this. Heisenberg is a German physicist who won the Nobel Prize and the main founder of quantum mechanics. He had developed an atomic bomb for Nazi Germany. Although he was unsuccessful-Heisenberg claimed to be deliberately procrastinating, but later generations reacted to this extreme with mixed praise and criticism. . And Walter is also extremely controversial. His ashes have become black from certain angles, but occasionally they reveal whites that are hard to ignore, making it impossible to simply condemn or pardon them.
Repeating elements
Here it refers to Motif, which means a structure, symbol or technique that appears constantly, with the purpose of strengthening and promoting the theme, such as a piece of music (motivation) that is repeatedly reproduced in music. At present, the widely used Chinese translation includes "motif" and "plot unit", which are directly referred to as repetitive elements here.
The objects that have appeared this season are gas masks and marijuana. They are props, symbols, and catalysts, as described below.
Gas mask & gas
Gas masks are sometimes purely experimental items, sometimes they are objects that promote the plot, and sometimes they connect or contrast between two seemingly unrelated events. Please see the picture below:
marijuana
Just as marijuana can cause psychological and physical reactions, marijuana also has a knock-on effect on the plot.
