An American drama recommended by a teacher, as a chemistry major, I suddenly felt the "practicality" of chemistry. I myself, who loves suspense and crime-type films, said that "Breaking Bad" is definitely a rare good film. From the perspective of family ethics, White learned that his lung cancer was terminal, and it was worth thinking about the road to drug production after a short time. I still remember in a family meeting, White candidly talked about his reasons for giving up treatment: I feel that I have lived for so long, and I have never made a choice for myself, and fate has left me with no more opportunities, then I think the last choice I have to do. Choose the life I want to live, I don't want to experience the torture of hair loss after chemotherapy, I don't want to lose my love for food, and I don't want to lie on the white sheets and die. (Not the original words, just my expression) The wife and son feel pain and helplessness for White's negative behavior, but in my opinion, White is braver than everyone. He chose to face death bravely and appreciate the only life left. However, White made a compromise. Before his wife's grief and his son's resentment, he got on a radiotherapy machine, received a chemotherapy needle, and suffered from hair loss and vomiting. Maybe there are many ways to love, in addition to the desire and pursuit of "same life", there should also be a strong heart that accepts the way he chooses "death". From the perspective of criminal suspense, the play reveals the lives of people in the drug circle step by step. People who are corroded by drugs are like "ghosts" in their skins, and demons in their hearts. Old man White, a middle school chemistry teacher and crystallography expert, was unable to get medical insurance before the high medical expenses, his wife was expecting to give birth, his son was disabled, and he would die soon. Finally, he embarked on the road of making drugs. Save a considerable fortune to pave the way for your family's future. The old man's partner, Jesse, still retains a little warmth in his depravity. Outside he is a social scum of degenerate drugs, but he still hopes to be loved and cared about by his parents. The scary thing is that Jesse's younger brother is also infected with drugs, and the drug use has become younger, which is embarrassing.
What attracts me the most is the casual little knowledge of chemistry in the play. For example, hydrofluoric acid and LDPE, the explosives the old man used to fool drug dealers. Is chemistry really versatile?♂️
