We often ask or be asked by others: If you could do it all over again, where and what kind of life would you choose to live. Life is always full of regrets, that's why people ask questions like this, imagining a parallel world where they do what they like, live as they want, and live peacefully and peacefully.
In the "Breaking Bad" TV series, seeing that Lao Bai (the protagonist White) had saved enough money, I often wondered why I didn't stop there. His wife and children, the family lived a happy life, just like the ending of a fairy tale, isn't it good to live a happy life from now on? But if the TV series is really shot like this, then this drama can't be regarded as a divine drama. Once the seeds of greed and darkness in human nature germinate, people will sink deeper and deeper into the black hole of human nature.
Old Bai and Jesse, at the beginning, they were in the same boat and made drugs together. After experiencing all the prosperous and magical things together, Jesse began to feel disillusioned with all this, and wanted to stop and return to a simple and peaceful life. But Lao Bai was stubborn and swore not to look back. It can be seen that after the redemption of two girlfriends, Jesse's soul has not completely fallen, and his Buddha nature is gradually revealed.
At the beginning of the movie "The Last Man: Breaking Bad", Jesse and a partner of the drug gang, facing the calm river and hills under the sunset, calmly told their plan: ready to stop, but not Knowing where to go, his partner told him: Go to Alaska, the last frontier, where anyone can be. Towards the end of the movie, Jesse recalled that when he first entered Taoism, he and Lao Bai ate and chatted in the cafeteria. Lao Bai glanced at the scenery outside the window, the same sunset, the same calm hilly road, slowly tunneling. Bottom line: You're so lucky that you don't have to wait until you're about to die before you can have a great career. Seeing these two scenes, I couldn't help but pop out Song Qi's famous phrase in my mind: Hold a drink for you to persuade the sun to set, and leave an evening photo to the flower room. Although I didn't see Lao Bai's expression, I think his eyes must be full of affection and nostalgia, towards life, the world, and his relatives. I wonder if he thought of this quiet afternoon when he was walking further and further down the road of depravity.
At the end of the movie, Jesse finally came to Alaska through unremitting efforts, changed his face, and started again. Everything seems to have returned to the starting point, in an unknown town, as an unknown little person, living an unknown life. It seems that everything is the same, but the one who has been in love knows the most, and the one who has been drunk knows that the wine is strong. After experiencing all this, I understand that the current peace is the most long-lasting and most comforting.
