To Breaking Bad, an American drama that feels like a lovelorn at the end of the show. Generally speaking, most American TV shows and Hollywood movies will promote something called the American Dream, the main theme of which is probably "a better life can be achieved only through hard work, that is, people must through their own hard work, Courage, creativity and determination to prosper, rather than relying on a specific social class and the assistance of others." Therefore, a large part of the reason why American dramas are wonderful is also because of this tone, and the little people also have distinct personalities and never complain. fight for what they want. In the first season, I thought it was an ordinary deal with the devil, and it didn't seem to have anything to do with the American dream. I've seen so many dramas, and I've never seen a protagonist fall into such a desperate situation from the beginning of the story. , and then he chose a path that was absolutely inanimate. So I was curious, what good results can be achieved in this development, drug production, crime, secrets may be hidden for a while, and one day they will be exposed, a 50-year-old protagonist with only a few months of life (and still looks particularly ugly ), and calculated that after his death, his wife gave birth, his disabled eldest son was born, and his unborn daughter grew up to adulthood, the total living expenses needed was 707,000 US dollars. Even if it is a drug maker or a screenwriter who gives him a golden finger, how can a middle-aged teacher who can only do chemistry experiments earn these 70 yuan in a few months. 70,000. Then I watched, he made drugs, stopped teaching, stole raw materials, killed people, made more drugs, made a lot of money, killed more people, made more money, cancer got better, family relationships went up and down, Lying to everyone, swaying between holding back and not holding back, doing everything possible to get rid of DEA's investigation, cancer recurrence... This man slowly transformed a little bit, you hated him and sympathized with him, the darkness and despair in his heart have never been are not far from us. I even admire him. In the beginning, he was an old diaosi with a tragedy in the first half of his life and was terminally ill. He didn't complain. When he decided to take a different path, he acted quickly and carefully. Making drugs and killing people, he found that he did a good job, but he didn't slack off. He never forgot his original purpose. Since he started making drugs, his nerves have not relaxed a bit, because once he was caught, what he did Everything will be in vain. He's made some money, people don't treat him with the same contempt they used to, and there's no denying that there is a cause and effect. He didn't splurge a penny, but he could pay all the bills, he could give his family the material they wanted, and he could provide support to his relatives against the calamity that fell from the sky. But how did the money come from? He wore only underwear and a gas mask to make drugs in the RV. He struggled to deal with people he looked down on before. To clean up the melted flesh and blood, he spent the entire night swatting a fly in order to keep the drug production area absolutely tidy and clean. He drove into the desert by himself and dug more than $80 million into the deep pit for a day and a night. Only for his wife and children after his death. But there are always things that money can't solve. He exchanged more than 80 million for Hank's life with the gangster. When Hank died, more than 80 million became 10 million, and the car ran out of gas. He and a bucket of U.S. dollar bills were thrown into the deep desert, where he made poison with Xiaofen for the first time. This is the penultimate episode of the whole play. He is pushing a barrel and walking forward in the desert. At that moment, it really seems like Sisyphus pushing a stone up the mountain. And I suddenly realized that he didn't make a deal with the devil, he was just a relatively unfortunate tragic figure who struggled all the time in the pit he fell into and never gave up. He won't and can't get a good result, but as he struggles, he keeps getting stronger. The stronger he becomes, the longer he can hold on. In this inevitable gamble, he tried his best to make himself lose a little less, which was a victory in itself. In the last episode, Lao Bai told his wife that he made drugs for himself. He was good at doing this, and he realized his value. He finally faced the fact. Romain Rolland said that there is only one kind of heroism in this world, that is, to still love life after recognizing the truth of life. From this point of view, Lao Bai has finally achieved himself, and he is a tragic hero with blood all over the floor.
