A secret room, a fly, two people, the seemingly boring episode of fighting flies is the condensed essence of the entire "Breaking Bad" plot. A fly flew around without a brain in a secret room where it couldn't get out. Lao Bai found it, but he couldn't kill it. In the end, Xiaofan was the one who solved it after Lao Bai fell asleep and lost consciousness. Here the flies have the deepest meaning. The director uses flies to refer to Lao Bai and Xiaofen. How the flies died also hints at the final different results of the two. Since joining Gusi's drug cartel to make drugs for Gusi, Lao Bai and Xiaofen have lost their clear goals in life, and have always been driven by their profit-seeking instinct to "make more money" (Fly). Brainless flying), but the two who joined the drug cartel are like breaking into a secret room and can't escape. Lao Bai tried his best to get rid of the flies, but in the end, Xiao Fan killed the flies after losing consciousness. Here the director is implying that Lao Bai can only get rid of this state of mindless flying after his death, but Xiaofan finally escaped.
