*** When the story of Breaking Bad is over, the story of Jesse has just begun. ***
Jesse escaped from the lair of the drug gang, what next? The purpose of the plot is very clear. Jesse has only two thoughts in the whole film: how to avoid being caught by the police in the short term, and how to collect enough money to avoid being caught by the police for a long time. Yes, for 5 years of hard drug production and drug trafficking, I made more than 10 million U.S. dollars (Walt earned more than 80 million in total, and Jesse as the main partner divided at least 10 million), and the only purpose was to "avoid being caught by the police." . Jesse found the old man who hid Walt in the mountains in the "Granite State" episode, and collected enough money to let the old man change his surname and come to the snow-covered Alaska to start a new life.
If people who make more than ten million dollars and build a huge business empire have the courage to let go of everything in the past, make everything clear, and start over, why do we suffer from gains and losses? Why do we need to fear the changes that fate has arranged for us?
*****When the past is over, my life has just begun. *****
The snow mountain where Lao Bai hides in Granite State is New Hampshire in the United States, bordering Canada to the north and the Atlantic Ocean to the east. The place where Jesse started his new life is Alaska, on the other side of North America, which is also in the snow and ice.
In Granite State, Lao Bai hid in the snow mountain hut waiting to die. Jesse in El Camino is reborn on the snowy mountain road.
In Granite State, Lao Bai finally broke the relationship with his son. In El Camino, Jesse is not married and has no children.
The old man in Granite State who helped others hide in the deep mountains and old forests, the old man who runs the vacuum cleaner shop, let's call him "the old man in the snow mountain" for the time being. Because he likes to hide people in snow mountains.
The old man Xueshan was unwilling to help Jesse at first, because he believed that Jesse, Walt, and Saul Goodman were all on their own account. They chose the path of crime and ended up with a rat crossing the street.
In Granite State, the old man in the snow mountain hides Walt in a place completely isolated from the outside world, and can't even watch TV, because any contact with the outside world will cause Walt to be arrested.
Actually, Jesse's situation is not much better now. Jesse is also an important member of the Heisenberg drug cartel and is the only surviving member. Like Walt, he was wanted nationwide. What's more, Jesse killed several people in this film.
Following the cautious style of the old man in the snow mountain, Jesse should also be shut down in the hut that has no internet, no TV, and generators to generate electricity.
But the old man from Snow Mountain gave Jesse freedom.
El Camino heralds the hope of the future, symbolizing that after a person has done something wrong, there is still a way to go back, and the possibility of correcting evil and returning to the right. As long as people live, there are unlimited possibilities. Jesse is still alive. We are still alive.
