The English name of the movie, El Camino, is a Spanish word to be precise, which can be understood as "road" or "journey". In the United States, it is still a pickup truck, the one driven by Jesse. All explanations are It's not an exaggeration to understand how it is related to escape. In addition, when it comes to Spanish, it is probably inseparable from the strong Mexican elements of the southern United States in the TV series, reminding the audience at all times that they need to recall the previous plot. Before watching the film, it is strongly recommended that the viewer revisit the last two episodes of the fifth season of the TV series, because the overall picture of the film is a continuation of the TV series, whether it is plot, characters or emotions.
The way of filming is as pleasing to the eye as always, ranging from a small object and a supporting role to a true interpretation of love and friendship, even if the catharsis of this feeling comes from the villain. Everything is so real, immersive and intimate. The film uses a lot of time-interspersed expressions to further deepen the follow-up main line of the TV series and the plot that has not been clearly explained before. In the last episode of the fifth season of the TV series, after the death of the love-hate old white, Jesse's hysterical drive to escape, the kind of helplessness that the building will collapse and the helplessness of being alone, are all written on that distorted young face. At the beginning of the film, Jesse and old Mike start a conversation about "going and staying" at the waterside where Old Mike is often alone until he dies. Old Mike said before his death that he wanted to go to Alaska, and in the last episode of the TV series, it was rumored that Jesse went to Alaska, which became Jesse's final return in the film. Jesse Pinkman became the only protagonist and broke away from the company of Lao Bai, the small drug dealer who used to be a coward. Todd, who shot a boy in the desert and was strangled by Jesse, appeared again, connecting the main line of the movie where Jesse "begged money", and Kenny, the remnant of Candy Welding, became the villain. Jesse deliberately found the hidden money in Todd's house, not because of profit, but to ask "that person" who had helped Lao Bai and Goodman to help him escape to heaven. And Kenny, who is also looking for money, is the bitter master who has humiliated Jesse for a long time. The common thirst for money and the past grievances caused the conflict between the two sides to break out. The duel like a western cowboy pushed the film to a climax. It was suddenly violent in the soothing, but stopped abruptly in the thunder, which is eye-catching enough. After a lot of hardships, Jesse finally set foot on the road of escape. Facing the road ahead, Jesse's face is no longer twisted, and the peace of mind even summons the dead lover - Jane. The intimacy of a lover's ear can awaken a desolate soul, allowing him to accept reality in peace, be far from his parents in peace, look forward to a second chance in peace, and accept everything that is a given fact in peace. Screenwriter Vince. Gillette's skills in shaping characters and structuring the main and side lines of the plot have reached the pinnacle. There are always domestic audiences who question the slowness of his screenwriting. This is precisely what Vince excels at. He can always create surprises for the audience. In his writing, the righteous side is not necessarily honorable, and the extremely evil person can also be affectionate and righteous. A casual whistle may be a prelude to murder, an inadvertent dialogue may be the trigger for the ending. The details of the portrayal are thought-provoking and terrifying. The author seems to have inadvertently attacked the American society hidden behind the characters. He is smart and graceful, but criticizes but never preaches. To be honest, after 11 years of company, the movie I was looking forward to was not satisfying, at most it was a craving. Looking forward to seeing Breaking Bad spinoffs again in the near future. I advise domestic screenwriters: When you pick up a pen to weave a story, please be more attentive and more attentive.
