100% True. Is sad that this magnificent show ended, but it ended in the right time and perfectly. Look at the Walking Dead, they milked this shit so much that it’s trash now. Stories have to end
@Nam Gge that he gets to stay in the limelight and probably made bank doing it. Jesse’s character was supposed to be killed off in season 1 but the director liked him too much. So for him to make it through the entire series AND get his own spinoff is pretty damn cool.
@Nam Gge he says before “I guess there won’t be a sequel...but jesse stays alive” meaning he knows In the future jesse can return and he’s excited for him
@@awesomethings3489 Do you know, what bothers me? The script talks about Walts final moments in this episode, but i think he maybe survived it and got into the hospital or smth. Im still waiting for this moment in Better Call Saul, because we see, what Saul is doing after the seriers. Now we get Jessie's perspective. Its too good to be true
@@emkii1640 that doesn't make sense.Walt falls to the ground because he doesn't have strength to keep moving due to the bullet in him.How would he have the strength to walk to a hospital? He was content with dying there.he gotten his money to his family, he made sure skyler wouldn't go to jail, and he got vengeance on everyone who wronged him. Walt's family hates him.His son and his sister in law resent him for being responsible for the death of hank, skyler is physiologically damaged and wouldn't take walt back because of the harm he caused to family and the moment he would go to a hospital, they'd have the police ask him why he has a bullet in his body. They'd eventually find out that he's walter white, and put him in a cell.
It's kind of amazing how Jesse was supposed to be one of the first main characters killed off, then he ends up being virtually the only one who lived in the end.
"But Jesse stays alive" For those who haven't seen their commentary series, Jesse was originally going to be killed off at the end of the first season, and it stuck as an inside joke throughout their filming
When Jesse escapes in a car it was the best scene. He is so full of emotions. He is laughing and crying, happy and sad at the same time. Amazing performance.
hameed Even at the time of the poisoning, Jesse suspected that Walt asked Huell to lift the ricin cigarettes from him during a pat-down. Walt convinced Jesse at the time that this was ridiculous, and they worked together to take down Gus. However, months later, right when Jesse was about to leave town, he noticed his joint was missing, and realized Huell had lifted it from him during a similar pat-down. His mind began racing, and he realized his initial hunch during season 4 had been correct all along...meaning Walt poisoned Brock after all. That's how he found out.
Dmetal23 What difference would checking it make (from their perspective since they have walt in their custody already...a mere car means nothing to them) Besides they took his keys and were keeping their eyes on him.
TheCoolDoc They went through all the trouble to pat him down and the guy even told Walt to park somewhere else for security, but Walt just parked right by the house as suspicious as possible and the guy in the car was just like "k". And why wouldn't they think he has a bomb or something given the fact that they know he hates them for stealing his money. You'd think the trunk is the first thing they'd check. PS I get that it's a show and its just for fun but still. yaya i am lorde
DISPENCERY7 duuudddeee that’s crazy. It’s either the coolest random coincidence or we can rest easy knowing they knew about el Camino and have been perfecting it for years. Sounds good to me either way
I don't think he was sad because Walt was dead. I think he was sad because this was the realization for him that it was coming to an end. Being part of such a successful series, knowing all those people for five years? That all comes to an end when the series ends.
I imagine that’s part of why the actors are able to get into character so well. They know exactly what the scene is going for based on the tone of the writing, but they can handle the details of how to create that tone themselves, since that’s their job. And it communicates the character’s motivations to the actors very well.
Any halfway decent screenplay will read like this. That's not to discredit the brilliance of Vince and the rest of the writers of BB, but scripts are meant to paint a very, very clear picture, just like this one.
I like how in the script Jesse is “grimly determined” as he drives away and it is implied not showing much emotion. But Aaron decides to let Jesse completely let out all his emotion and his joy at now being free. It feels more true to the character and it’s great to see actors being allowed to have discretion over these characters they spend so much time with.
@@sirknight7898 be honest. If you were kept in captivity for 6 months, forced to make meth and being abused, you'd be screaming the same way if you escaped and couldnt believe you're alive
I love watching Aaron’s reaction to the narration about Jesse escaping the compound. He’s been inside of that role for 5 years, and I can almost see the waves of deserving relief on his expression when he learns that Jesse made it out alive. That’s something to strive for as an actor, I imagine
@@Yenix4 No not even close. In the first episode he turns 50 as shown by the 50 made out of bacon on his breakfast plate. Then in the final season he makes his own 52 in the diner. You guys suck at paying attention. Jesse was in the hole for like a year, if that. 5 years lol. Dumbasses.
It didn't help that Bryan was constantly messing with him to think he let it leak that Jesse is going to die soon. Bryan would go to him saying stuff like 'You'll be going on to better things soon enough after this. Oh wait, you didn't read the script yet? I'm so sorry...' Aaron would always panic.
Jesse looked at Walt as a father figure. And just like his own father, Walt turned his back on Jesse. At the end, Walt saved Jesse. Something his own father would have not done. It is poignant fromt he character's point of view. Walt finally did something for Jesse and Jesse was very appreciative. Walt had succeeded where everyone else failed in Jesse's life.
Cassie Paulson I love what Jonathan Banks said about it. "Aaron and Vince say he has no idea where Jesse is going, but I know exactly where; he's going to go take care of Brock."
***** He was well aware of Saul before Badger got arrested... I don't know how much of Saul is going to overlap with BB, but I hope we at least get Jesse.
Vince may write a line here and there or maybe he's done an episode or two but to think every line spoken in the show is written by Vince is stupid. He's the director. He's not a writter Vince spoke about how he wished he had the talent to write such a good story as Breaking Bad in an interview. He's just a director. Sorry to burst your bubble
"Baby Blue" by Badfinger was fucking perfect for the closing song when Walt collapsed and died. Little did Aaron Paul know he would play Jesse one last time in El Camino. Will always treasure this show.
Aaron Paul reprised his role as Jesse in the Breaking Bad, Popcorners commercial. And Bryan did the same with Walter. So El Camino wasn’t the last time.
@@ShEDDiNgmYSkiN I am sad that that could be the last time we see Walt and Jesse. But I’m also glad, because I don’t want to see Bryan and Aaron constantly getting reached out for quick cash grabs.
In saving Jesse, Walt saves the best parts of himself. All of the redeeming qualities he once had: loyalty, love, courage, a determination to fight on in the face of incredible odds, even the scientific knowledge that made him so exceptional, all of it lives on in his last, and greatest, student. That's why Walt was smiling at the end. That's as close to redemption as he's going to get.
I agree, however it should never be forgotten that Jack, Todd, and the whole gang had Jesse because Walt found him under the car and asked them to kill him, perhaps in vengeance for Hank, but in a truly cold manner that contradicts how Walt seemed to feel for Jesse before the events of season 5.
SparkleDumpster I didn't forget. That scene is why I wouldn't call Walt really redeemed, even at the end. Heck, a whole lifetime wouldn't be enough atonement for that. That was as evil as Walt ever got. After that, his whole family falls apart. It's the beginning of the end for everyone Walt has ever loved. In a way though, that makes what happened in this final scene that much more remarkable. According to Bryan Cranston and Vince Gilligan, right up until that last moment, Walt was totally planning to kill Jesse. It wasn't even a question in his mind. He was going to do it. Weither it was for Hank or to protect his precious Blue Sky formula, Jesse was going to die with the rest of the gang. He was sure of it. He didn't actually CHOOSE to do what he did. He wasn't thinking about things like pity, shame, redemption or anything like that. His body just moved. It was a completely involuntary spasm of unconditional love.
@@nomongosinthaworld Those would have come at a point yes, but in the very instant of him breaking out, it's just pure euphoria. Also, numbness doesn't mix with all of that, numbness is numbness
I love how Aaron said “then do it yourself” and then delivered it exactly the same as Jesse. It’s like he decided right then and there that that’s what it was gonna sound like.
“Felina.” In addition to being an anagram for “finale” (and also a composite of the chemical signs for iron, lithium, and salt-or blood, meth, and tears), “Felina” is the name of the “Mexican girl” that the hero of Marty Robbins’ classic outlaw ballad “El Paso” falls in love with. The song appears a few times in the episode, so it’s safe to say it’s not a coincidence-and Robbins’ tale of an outlaw returning, through “the badlands of New Mexico,” to the scene of his crimes to settle old scores fits in well with what it’s been clear Walter White would be doing since the fifth season opened with a flash-forward.
@@OmniversalInsect "The Birch reduction, also called the "Nazi method", became popular in the mid-to-late 1990s and comprised the bulk of methamphetamine production in Michigan in 2002.[103] It reacts pseudoephedrine with liquid anhydrous ammonia and an alkali metal such as sodium or lithium. The reaction is allowed to stand until the ammonia evaporates.[111]" The fact about the Nazi method is interesting. I mean, the tattoos of the members of Jack's gang and the conditions in which they kept Jesse are Nazi
lmao. "Walt kinda forgot about Jack and his Nazis." Or maybe, "When a church rang some bells, Walt decided to get revenge on Jack by shooting up a local Denny's."
this show is a prime example of a perfect series. it was written and built up perfectly, it didn't drag on longer than it should have to milk it, it ended where it had to and how it had to. Vince Gillighan did exactly what he wanted to do with the show and boom perfection. he casted perfectly and delivered a masterpiece of pop culture for years to come. As much as I love Game of Thrones right now, nothing will ever come close to the itensity and realism that this show portrayed. every episode had you glued to the screen and shocked and excited in a dark kinda way.
bingeit 45 Maybe you're right. I admit I don't watch HBO that much anymore. The last series I was into on HBO was True Blood, so I was mainly judging by that, plus a only the first few GOT eps. that I rented on DVD.
Seeing them read this scene together is so emotional. To me it looked as if Aaron was already trying to figure out how he was going to deliver that bit of him driving away crying with happiness but also sad and so many other emotions. I only started watching breaking bad like a week ago and binged watched them all and el Camino and I can’t get over how good it was. I loved Jesse he deserved so much more ❤️
Much as I love his work, Kurt Sutter is the man if you're going for showrunners for president. Because Gemma Teller as first lady would just be awesome.
I remember the feeling of emptiness I felt for several days after the last episode. I just couldn't believe it was all over. Trip man, trip looking back. Great times!
I love the little fist in the air “yeah” that Aaron Paul does when he hears jesse’s ending. He gave his all for this character and he was glad the character got the ending they did.
Sopranos, Mad Men, hell, even Deadwood had a way better ending than Game of Thrones. Don't fall for this "only Breaking Bad had a proper ending" lie, it's not true.
I think part of what makes this clip so special is seeing 2 actors realize that their character's journeys have been brought to a truly proper and respectful end. Not many actors in television get that but these 2 did. And I'm sure that they are beyond thankful for it.
Bryan Cranston and Aaron Paul feel like what Jesse and Walt's relationship would've been like if it weren't messed up. I mean they both even give off the same vibes as their characters.
If D&D wrote Breaking Bad's finale: Walt forgot about Jack and the Nazis, and returned to Albuquerque to kill Skyler and himself, swerving the audience. He blows up their house and it collapses on top of them as they embrace, Walt Jr barely escaping with Holly. Meanwhile Jesse stabs Jack from out of nowhere and escapes the compound with help from his best friend Todd. Jesse and Todd happen to come across Jr and Holly, and Jr kills Jesse. Todd gets upset, and Jr hits him with one of his crutches until Todd runs away, never to be seen again. At the end, Jr and Holly drive northward to Colorado to live out their lives in the North. D&D kinda forgot about Lydia.
Aaron didn't really show the "grimly determined" part of breaking through the chain link fence in his expression. It was more like the euphoria of a slave escaping to freedom. That being said, it was better that way. :)
BloggerMusicMan omg you right. aaron totally put his own spin on the close up scene, decided rather than a confident, stone cold, seasoned and nothing can stop me, to a crying, expressive, overly emotional happy and sad moment, so powerful
Yeah, actors put their own spin on things and it was definitely the right choice to take some liberties with it. Jesse spent so long being trapped and abused, it's hard to believe he wouldn't be laughing like he had just survived the first Texas Chainsaw Massacre film.
Aaron is amazing but he didn't necessarily improvise here. He very well could have, but no reason to conclude it. They did the reading long before they did the scene - many of chances for the scene to change, including during the filming if Gilligan had a new idea.
I, for one, am glad that it got changed (be it due to Aaron's or the director's decision). Jesse being emotional fit his character more than him doing a Gus Fring impersonation. Now THAT would've been out-of-character.
2:32 the bond between these two is so pure both on screen and off. Powerful little clip right here. I see the video was put up in late 2013 but who knows exactly when this was shot. "But Jesse stays alive"
I love that these two became genuinely good friends, really made for great chemistry between them on the show, and they both just seem like such good, likeable guys. Also I'd like Bryan Cranston to just narrate everything.
Im crying my eyes out! Aaron still pulls on my heart Strings, Bryan Knows him so well he new he was finding it hard and gave him that fatherly reassuring hold on the arm like he always does. God I miss these guys! Best show ever, Great editing.. It was.. Just...Perfect.....
You basically see the characters reading their characters. Cranston covering his emotions with humor and laughter, being the 'father' towards Paul, just like in the series. Paul showing his emotions while slowly grappling for a few words, just like in the series. So... the question remains: damn good casting? Or damn good faking their reading?
@James Lucas oke, 3rd question: how big is the influence of playing a role for several years on your personality? :) Any idea if there is done research on this?
@@LauWo there was a Stanford prison experiment where they would get people to act as prison guards and prisoners. It had to be cancelled after 6 days because the guards started to inflict psychological torture on the prisoners.
@@jacobberrybush5011 yes, I have read the article and saw the movie (The Experiment). Impressive indeed. And I can see the connection with how they are their characters irl there.
DisguiseDK It is really interesting! I actually did it just to see it happen and never would've guessed that it was going to have 270k viewers today. I don't know if there is more like this but I would do some more is someone asks for it. Thanks for your comment. Saludos.
Breaking Bad was one of the few shows where I felt like every new season was either on par or better than the last - interesting plot, good writers, and most importantly, incredible actors.
It still blows my mind that the show wasn't doing all that well till around the third season. From season 3 onward it took the world by storm, and now the whole thing is considered one of the greatest shows to ever have been aired on television. But, knowing it wasn't performing well the first two seasons just makes it all the more incredible seeing the impact it's made, and is still making today. Like having that Super Bowl commercial that just aired in 2023 with Walt, Jesse, and Tuco all coming back to sponsor Popcorners of all things.
I sat and literally cried out loud for 24 hours after the series finished, thinking it could have been so different. This series was so realistic that i had to put an effort to disassociate myself with this series and realize that its all fiction. It was all so real. The acting was so impeccable.
Sometimes you get two or more characters in a series that have this unpredictable, unimaginable chemistry together. Jesse and Walt were never intended to be such a duo. We were all incredibly lucky that they managed to end up on the same set so we could see this chemistry literally take over and pretty much completely redirect the show.
I got chills watching this. This reminds me of a moment between my dad and I. My dad introduced me to Casablanca. Sitting in a couch and a lazy boy in the exact same positions at home. At the end of the movie, he did the exact same thing, grabbed my arm the same way Bryan did to Aaron and asked me what did you think? The chemistry between the two of them is so good. You can definitely see a father and son dynamic there. Loved it.
Sometimes I forget that the last 30 seconds of this isn't actually a scene of Walt and Jesse reading a book together. Even when they're themselves here, it still feels like they're in character. It just speaks to me on so many levels how great the chemistry is between them.
