It's like the god of death suddenly appeared in front of you from the darkness and told you that I wanted you to die early, but then he held a jack-o-lantern in one hand from behind and a big bowl in the other and said to you: trick or treat! - Just a Halloween joke. My cousin was told in the re-examination that she was misdiagnosed before. The doctor said that this possibility is almost a few in ten thousand, and it is the blessing of the god of luck. After this incident, my cousin suddenly changed. She began to believe in Buddhism and be a vegetarian. She recited scriptures and meditated every night, and actively did good deeds. After coming back from the ghost gate, everything changed.
We often forget the fact that we're going to die sooner or later, or we firmly believe that it's so far away that we don't have to think about it. "Breaking Bad," which just won Best Drama Series at this year's 65th Emmy Awards, reminds us of the reality of this, and it asks each of us the same question: If you were this For the person who is declared dead early, what kind of living method will you choose for the rest of the time? Or just sit still?
In the play, Mr. White, a middle school chemistry teacher with a modest income, has a gentle and good-natured personality. He has been keeping himself safe for most of his life. At the age of knowing his destiny, he worked hard, and even had to do odd jobs to take care of his wife who was pregnant at home unexpectedly and his congenitally disabled son. Mr. White had already accepted his fate, but on his 50th birthday, he was suddenly told by a doctor that he had advanced lung cancer. Therefore, Mr. White decided to sell drugs and used his chemical knowledge to extract high-purity methamphetamine and sell it to local drug lords. He plans to wait until he has made enough money for his wife and unborn children and his son's college tuition. Therefore, Mr. White, the good husband who plays the trump card of "love", continues to represent "goodness" while fighting against death with his wife and children, sister-in-law and brother-in-law working in the anti-drug team, and on the other hand, representing "evil" in a race against death, In the RV in the desert, the problem student Jesse, who also represents "evil" in the past, makes drugs day and night, and in a short period of time, he becomes a local drug lord. As the plot progresses, the border between "good" and "evil" has become blurred, and death is close at hand.
The writing team and director of the show recently said in the talk show "Conan Show" that they were actually writing while filming, and they also wanted to know how "evil" Mr. White could be in the end so that the audience would not pay, but the result was exactly the opposite. In the name of "love", Mr. White lost in desire and killed countless bad people and good people, but the ratings continued to soar. In the end, death will come after all. If you want to ask what the ending is What, as White's actor Brian replied: "In the end everyone dies". Of course, the end must be the death of the evildoer.
"In the end everyone dies", this answer seems to answer all the questions in the world, the only thing that can't answer the question "Where do we go after we die?" Because of this question, we have religion, and we look for the answer in religion. Christianity tells us to believe that God can go to heaven. Brahmanism also has six reincarnations. Maybe they can solve this question, but no one can really tell What kind of world we are.
"Breaking Bad" is just a TV show, it reminds us about dying, as if the audience was misdiagnosed once like my cousin, "announced" with Mr. White, and then we will live the rest of our lives. Remind yourself at any time to do something when there is still time in this life: you can do evil in the play, and outside the play, please follow my "cousin" to do good!
