The Life of Gustavo Fring

Akeem 2022-03-31 08:01:02

With this diploma, I would like to congratulate GUS, who passed away at an early age, for one day. The military staged a coup and the Pinochet junta came to power. More than 3,000 people were killed in the years of repression that followed, and many people disappeared. All industries are withering and the people are struggling to live. Gustavo Leigh, a representative of the Air Force in the military house, gradually became dissatisfied with Pinochet's policies. On July 24, 1978, he was expelled from the military government. Smart people may have noticed that nine times out of ten this person's name is the source of the name GUS, and of course the writers only quoted the name as a tribute to the anti-Pinochet character. Young Gus is living in such an era, and there is no mention of his early life in the drama. Later, the DEA investigated his background and found nothing, but GUS was very concerned about whether the police would further investigate his file records in Chile. Mike told him that "I can't find out your experience in Chile", which at least shows that GUS has stains in Chile. available. What did GUS do in Chile? It is very likely drug trafficking, and there is a record in Chile. In the chaotic 1970s in Chile, no one could sell fried chicken to start a business. The legal system was disintegrated and crimes were rampant. The young GUS was also forced by the environment to sell drugs. Drug sales but not drug use allowed GUS to save the first pot of gold in his life. In the 1980s, the Chilean economy improved in the late period of Pinochet's administration. GUS and his brother MAX opened a fried chicken shop and financed his chemistry studies. However, a good life with legal status was forced by the Chilean police or powerful opponents. Don't give up, GUS left his hometown and drifted north to Mexico. The two hidden dragons are in Yuanyuan, and they endure humiliation and bear heavy burdens to become one party's hegemony. In 1986, the young, promising and wealthy GUS brothers came to Mexico. After a few years of development, their careers flourished. MAX successfully operated a fried chicken restaurant with his superb fried chicken skills and GUS’s extraordinary business acumen. Big drug lords have hailed their fried chicken as the best in all of Mexico. However, the drug business that operates in Chile cannot be carried out in Mexico, because they live on the territory of cartel groups, and you have to be a dragon and you have to lie down. In order to open up the relationship with the cartel, GUS used the new drug Meth made by MAX to contact the group's small leader, and the excellent quality was obtained by the group's deputy Juan Bolsa's appreciation, and thus obtained the opportunity to meet the boss to discuss business. Getting an axe in a ban door can easily lead to death. GUS, who understands this truth, is restless by the swimming pool where drug dealers are meeting guests. MAX comforts him to sit down and not be nervous, believing that his products and technologies can facilitate this cooperation. However, drug dealers value not technology but background. MAX was shot in the head by HECTOR, and the boss of the group said to the terrified GUS: "Listen to me, the only reason you can survive is that we know your details." This proves from another aspect that GUS has a strong presence in Chile. Bottom can be checked. The safest thing for a drug cartel that likes to associate with people who can handle it and is dissatisfied with the background check is to kill it. (Insert a sentence, when Tuco kidnapped Lao Bai and JESSE and looked at Lao Bai’s wallet and saw photos of Lao Bai’s family, he said: He likes to work with people who have families, which means adding a lot of bargaining chips. It can be seen that Tuco is Carter Since it was impossible to operate a drug business on the territory of the cartel, GUS immigrated to the United States in 1989 to operate a fried chicken shop while buying goods from the cartel to secretly sell drugs, recruiting troops to build his own drug network in the southwestern United States . Third, Xi Ti is ruthless and has no guilt, and it is not too late for a gentleman to take revenge for twenty years. The humiliated GUS has never forgotten his revenge, and MAX's deadly face, HECTOR's hideous smile, always remains in his mind (at least twice in the play, the swimming pool full of relatives' blood and enemy's urine appeared in GUS's memories), In order not to let the rich life in the United States kill the fighting spirit of revenge, he designed the logo of the fried chicken shop as two chicken brothers back to back, and he designed the image advertisement of the fried chicken shop as two uncles who started a business from scratch. Allow yourself to be immersed in your own eyes and ears. He knew he had to endure until he was strong enough to bring down the cartel. The United States is a free country. GUS once started selling drugs for wealth and freedom, and left Pinochet's Chile for personal freedom. A free America will eventually be the place where he achieves his hegemony. He opens up a chicken farm to open up the industrial chain from production to consumption in the fried chicken market, integrates the fried chicken shop under the banner of a German multinational company and takes advantage of the situation to accelerate development, and runs a laundromat to diversify the industry. , sponsoring DEA, visiting nursing homes, setting up scholarships, and starting a perfect double-sided life. The first step in overthrowing the cartel group is to get rid of drug dependence. In 1996, GUS funded the University of New Mexico to set up a scholarship. The name of the scholarship was named after MAX. After three years, a suitable talent graduated, and he was Gale. What is the old white doing now? Studying human chemistry in the classroom with my girlfriend, hehe. From now on, the GUS network can independently produce METH, and it is only a matter of time until the grievance with the cartel group ends. Regardless of whether Lao Bai will break into the world of GUS or not, he will complete his revenge plan. The arrival of Lao Bai and JESSE just adds a few chips that can be used. From the play, it can be seen that GUS hired Lao Bai because Lao Bai can make meth with a purity of 3% higher than that of Gail. This statement is true, but there is another important reason: GUS, who pursues freedom, will never let himself be controlled by others, and will not Do the stupid thing of putting all eggs in one basket, so it is impossible for only one Gale to do the drug production task, and Lao Bai is another option. At this time, the contradiction between Lao Bai and the two killers of the cartel group became an excellent opportunity for GUS to launch a revenge plan. In the first step of delaying the military strategy, the two killers visited Lao Bai, which obviously made GUS feel inexplicable. You can't move my people casually. I contacted the deputy of the group with a text message and issued an order to withdraw troops. After negotiating with the cartel group, it was learned that the reason was TUCO's death, and they agreed to postpone the killing for 3 months. The second step is to devour the wolf. GUS has endured for 20 years. Revenge uses brains, and the two killers can only use axes for revenge. The two impatient beasts frequently harass GUS. Since they are so anxious, they should seek revenge for HANK, the direct murderer who killed TUCO, and lead the disaster to the powerful DEA. The result was a lose-lose for GUS. The third step is to use a knife to kill. The deputy of the group, Juan Bolsa, called to question GUS’s ghosts and harmed him. He had to investigate to the end. If the relationship has been broken, then let’s play to the end. GUS used his contacts and the media to inform Washington about the police raid in a small border town. , forcing Washington to unite with Mexican authorities to crack down on drug cartels. Juan Bolsa was robbed and killed by the military and police, and the cartel group was seriously injured. After that, just as Lao Bai analyzed, border control was strengthened, drug prices rose, and GUS, which established a production source, made a lot of money in one fell swoop. The fourth step is to capture the thief first, and the cartel's revenge will come soon, which is also expected by GUS. In order to realize the ultimate revenge plan, he negotiated an opportunity to meet and negotiate with the boss of the cartel group in exchange for attractive terms. Remember the scene where Gus, the MAX brothers and the drug lord first met? HECTOR didn't give them wine glasses. When the boss asked HECTOR to serve wine, it was time to order HECTOR to prepare to start. This time, GUS also prepared a bottle of wine for the boss - a bottle of poisoned wine. GUS took Mike and Jesse deep into the tiger's den. The moment the plane flew over the Mexican border, GUS was ready to die and survive. He left with hatred in 1989 and returned with hatred in 2011. GUS is not what it used to be, so the boss of the group has to pay attention. All the important members of the cartel group are present, which is what GUS wants to see, especially next to the swimming pool that has been unforgettable for him for more than 20 years. The boss is sincere and negotiated. Maybe this old Mexican poison has such sincerity in his life, and unfortunately it is also the last time. Foreigners have the habit of opening gifts in person, and the bottle of wine has naturally become a symbol of reconciliation. GUS did it first, and the members of the group also drank it. It took a while for the drug to take effect, and GUS found a chance to go to the toilet and spit out the residual alcohol in his stomach. After a while, the people who had been drinking fell to the ground one after another. The leader of the group fell headlong into the swimming pool. GUS retreated while fighting under the guards of Mike and Jesse. GUS finally used the death of the enemy to pay homage to the undead of his brother MAX. Fourth, Kanglong has regrets and profits cannot last for a long time, and the prosperity will decline, and a generation of heroes will eventually die. In the summer of 2011, two backpackers marched toward a free America in the wilderness of the Mexican-American border. One of them is GUS, if I left Mexico 22 years ago feeling like hell, it is heaven now. GUS has no worries, and he may have begun to look at the border sky and plan a grander blueprint. But the first thing he did when he returned to the United States was to meet the old HECTOR who was incapacitated in the nursing home, and tell him about the collapse of the cartel group. After tasting the mental pain, look for a chance to kill. When he doesn't take this old man seriously, this old man is most likely to give him a fatal blow. Old Bai took advantage of this to plant a bomb on HECTOR's wheelchair, and HECTOR voluntarily perished with GUS. The mentality of revenge that he had endured for more than 20 years distorted the soul of GUS and left him behind the biggest scourge of HECTOR, and he failed to make an early decision. This is like the killer who wanted to kill HANK with an axe, but he had to use an axe even though he could solve it with one shot. As a result, he was shot in the head by HANK. As for Lao Bai's performance in killing GUS, I think it's as worthless as the clown who kills the hero with a dark arrow. Listen to Mike's evaluation: "You won't become Jesse James if you kill Jesse James" . For more than 20 years, GUS has worked hard to create an empire to take revenge and get his wish. For more than 20 years, the old white pick-up girl was robbed of the original stock and polished, married a slutty wife and gave birth to a crippled son and got cancer. In addition to the arrangement of fate, is there a subjective difference in being a human being? In addition to the reasons mentioned above, the death of GUS can also be viewed from an outside perspective. The screenwriter's design of this character is bounded, because he is not the protagonist but a supporting role, and even did not intend to let this character cross seasons, and later made changes. . When Lao Bai needs the plot to take care of him, he must cooperate. In this way, the image of GUS is inevitably flawed. On the whole, the whole third season is to let GUS keep Lao Bai and reject JESSE. At the end of the season, Gus said to JESSE that if it weren't for Lao Bai, I would deal with you in a completely different way. In the fourth season, it was turned upside down and GUS kept JESSE and rejected Lao Bai, and the contradiction continued to intensify. The purpose of this was to make GUS and Lao Bai stand against each other and prepare for him to be killed by Lao Bai at the end of the season. GUS is just a stepping stone on the road of Old White's crazy destruction. The screenwriter Gilligan has a strong sense of overall layout. He left a lot of clues for the audience to suggest that the ending echoes before and after. For example, there is an obvious pattern. When the opponent of Lao Bai and JESSE starts to kill his accomplice, then the opponent will be finished soon. . The first TUCO, who took drugs and knocked high and punched his subordinates to death, was killed by HANK not long after. Two employees of the second GUS who were watching the site, after the GUS ordered them not to use children, they killed the children who helped them deliver goods, and were killed by Lao Bai. The third is GUS. In the first episode of the fourth season, he used a paper cutter to end his subordinates. I knew that GUS was going to be sacrificed by the screenwriter. He is no longer the rational GUS when he appeared. In the fifth season, it was Lao Bai's turn to kill his accomplices. . . . . History cannot repeat the script nor rewrite it. If GUS is the protagonist, can there be a better choice for his image? There must be, I believe in the creativity of the screenwriter.
