again!!! a edit with shootout music. I brought it from jesse and walter, so I had to bring it from saul #bettercallsaul #saulgoodman #jimmymcgill #shootout Music: • Shootout - (slowed + r...
One thing about Saul is that one may think he's not intimidating/dangerous,unlike Walter or Gus. But in reality he outperforms all of them before one realises.
saul may have survived but i dont think he outperformed gus or walt, especially gus who had power for 20 years unlike saul/walt who were only in power for about 1 1/2 years, additionally gus was a billionare and walt made 80 mil, and saul probably made about 10-20 mil
@Ñeo not doing things well is not what makes slippin jimmy slippin jimmy, it’s the fact that he’s a scumbag conman. also just find something you like doing, the “being good at it” part wil come in time
Nobody is born a winner but sometimes when life just shits on you over and over again you have to be willing to be a slipping Jimmy to be a Saul Goodman
he did not really transform all that much , considering he was a con man back in his home town and his brother gave him a nickname slipping jimmy long before he became saul goodman . that being said circumstances were often stuck against him and his brother undermined him when he tried to get his life straight and put it in order . chuck was a terrible human being in the end . he convinced jimmy he will always look for shortcuts and he will never be as good . in his core saul was always about showmanship and cutting corners to find easy money and easy victory but there was a time in early seasons when he really tried to be a better man but his brother pushed him over that edge a fair bit .
@@darkglobe406 he did try,yet he will feel hollow..Chuck know it..chuck trying to stop,yet he goes to far with it.Then he died in vain at last,knowing Saul is it is what it is.Can't be change.Even Saul con his whole family,even his late mother.That hurt Chuck the most.
@@darkglobe406 Yeah I agree with you. He's more of a conman who's trying to transform himself to be a good person but always having a problem because of his history.
@@ynot3680 I do believe that Chuck is able to guide Jimmy to be better as a person and a lawyer, he just choose not to and gave up just because of Jimmy's past before even trying.
@@darkglobe406 honestly i dont think chuck was a bad person. He honestly believed jimmy couldn’t be helped because chuck had no idea how to. He wasnt good at emotions
Walter also wanted to be loved by his family and by Jesse. Thats why he lied to them. Because he knew nobody would love him, when they knew the truth about him.
Jimmy is much more relatable and sympathetic than Walt ever was. Walt was just narcissistic and greedy, Jimmy actually wanted good things for himself and others
@@lordmarcel902 no, Walt is a ego person, the family was just an excuse to do what he really wanted to do, build something that could make him feel alive and proud, in this case a meth empire. On the other hand, Jimmy just wanted to be happy with the people that he loved, he wanted to be with them and let them proud, but nobody wanted to be with him like his best friend did before he died
Jimmy masked his emotions and it ultimately ended up hurting him. He acted like he didn't care about Chuck even though it was his driving force. He acted like he didn't care about Kim leaving but inside we know it ate away at him.
This is one if not the best edit I’ve seen. It really captures the “fear” in the title and Jimmy’s turning point with the music change. It was such a slow burn yet Jimmy climbed the ladder so quick it leaves you thinking “What the hell just happened?”
Honestly this is easily one of the best edits I’ve seen because it really takes Jimmys fear and captures it perfectly and honestly living in Jimny’s shoes for one day is musr be brutal because you never know who is going to be around d the corner mama mama baby
When a series doesn't get real good till the third season I was out by the second. Maybe I'll go back again another day but I don't have time to wait 20 hours before something gets going.
I think Chuck is a genuine portrayal of the body of law. Granted, it's a naive portrayal and reflects no reality whatsoever, but it is law and justice in highest form. Even if in the context of him saying "Law is sacred" after Jimmy rummaging paper shreds for Sandpiper case.
@@ozenthelewdable5427 The law is naive. It’s constantly changing and evolving however Chuck never changed. Which is inherently the worst possible trait you can have in a person. It’s great for being a hardass lawyer but an overall terrible human being
Jimmy is the guy that instead of doing things how they're meant to be done, he tries to take the "shortcut" which eventually turns into the hardest way
@@c.h.j7881 it's one of the best scenes in all of literature, the build up, the character arc's completion, the climax of the stakes, it's all so impeccable
@@c.h.j7881 I agree with that notion as well, it builds up the relationship between Gyro and Johnny really well while showing us sides of the characters we hadn't seen before
@amarson2322 exactly. For a criminal, Nacho was a "decent" guy. But let's not act like he wasn't Tuco's boy for who knows how long, until he decided he wanted out. On the other hand, Jesse was a junkie but he ultimately never meant any harm to anyone.
No one has a greater will to survive than Saul. That is why others with ostensibly more intellect or power lose to him. But he is also irrationally loyal (something that no one can live up to) and needs to be seen, at the cost of his own safety, which makes the end all the more fascinating and satisfying.
Not many people can negotiate with Tuco. That itself just makes a great character. He’s not strong or violent but there’s a reason he survives until the end.
I kinda agree with Chuck on one thing, that Jimmy has a good heart, and there's proof of that during the show, but he's still slippin' Jimmy, though I disagree with how Chuck treated his younger brother, if he showed him appreciation for trying to change maybe he would've stopped being slippin' Jimmy, and if Chuck let him work in HHM, Jimmy would've never went through the path of lawyering that he went through. Jimmy maybe was living a reckless, bad life, but when he tried to fix it and be a lawyer, his only family tried to put him down...
Chuck was right, but his ego and treatment of Jimmy made it a self fulfilling prophesy. If chuck let his ego go, and supported him as Jimmy did to chuck... So much carnage could have been avoided. Instead, Chuck under the idea of 'your not a real lawyer' never gave him the opportunity to become one.
he did changed though, he didn't take one single shortcut when he passed the bar, but chuck simply doesn't believe that, he still see jimmy as slippin jimmy not his brother
Jimmy had a lot of chances but eventually his inner demon always won. He's not the kind to settle on "normal". I always thought he liked the thrill of rule breaking and shortcuts.
You don’t stop being who you are so easily like that, midway through your life. As you and Chuck summed up. Jimmy has a good heart and is a caring individual for the people he loves, but he’s massively flawed in that he doesn’t respect rules, procedures, and has no problem embracing minor or nonviolent crime. Just because Jimmy doesn’t murder people doesn’t mean he’s an ethically “average level” person. He’s way too dishonest and it runs counter to the ideals of the law, which is what Chuck stands for.
It scares me as well from how a loving and nice person got verbally abused, depression and way more just by the end of BCS He is the best character tho
I relate so much to Jimmy, no practical skills or significant education but the drive to be something, to achieve and be great even if it’s fake it till you make it.
The transformation from Jimmy McGill to Saul Goodman has to be some of the best character writing and development of all time in any show ever. I like breaking bad but Better Call Saul I’d my favorite show of all time because it was just so perfect.
Saul his whole life was underestimated, undervalued, even by his own brother. His character has a deeper meaning than people realise. Hes a man who after years finally made something of himself, decided to live for himself rather than impress Chuck.
This could’ve all been avoided if Chuck had nurtured Jimmy into a good lawyer, instead of seeing his past self as the only thing left. After Jimmy passed the bar, he looked so ready to actually be a hard working and honest lawyer and if he would’ve gotten a job at Chuck’s law firm, his life would’ve been way different.
Knowledge is power,and chuck knows that and that prolly one of the reasons why he didn’t support Saul/jimmy cause chuck has the power to make a better “slipping jimmy” if chuck went out and teach his brother how to be a lawyer it will be like putting a metaphorical gun into his hand, even policemen hate it when we know laws and rights and tbh when you know expert level manipulation plus you know your laws and rights, have connections,money and bribery you’ll watch yourself become evil maybe not to your core but you will notice a change. Alot of people if they know they could get away with a crime, they can and will do it especially if it’s a personal benefit for themselves rather than a significant other or loved one
Bogus. You don’t change your fundamental nature at 40 years old, barring some extremely traumatic experience like a brush with death. You certainly don’t change your fundamental nature simply to win the praise of your sibling. Chuck knew Jimmy’s fundamental nature. And it annoys me when apologist fans pretend like Jimmy didn’t flout the laws multiple times before he embraced the Saul persona, which is exactly what Chuck knew Jimmy would do once becoming a lawyer. Jimmy couldn’t even stick to elder law as an ethically clean lawyer.
I think people really sleep on his acting skills. This man really brings the emotion of struggle through to the screen. You really do ride the highs and wait out the lows with Jimmy through the series.
Walter changing was like loser turing into villan Jimmy changing was like good guy with heart turning into awful fraud without emotions and caring only about money. Honestly even if it is less dramatic, jimmy to saul transformation hurts more
Jimmy was never as dangerous as Walt, Mike, Gus, etc, but if you think about it, he is the entire reason for everyone’s downfall from the sole fact that he orchestrated everyone meeting up and kept Walt any anyone else who needed it out of trouble
This show is so much deeper than a lot of casual audiences realize. It shows such a slow and emotional spiral of trying to constantly do the right thing but getting screwed over and being tempted to take the easy way out. I just finished the last episode of season 4 where he tells that highschool girl to make her haters suffer and cut corners, you could tell he was just projecting and so tired of being stepped on and being the little guy. But it’s also a lesson because he also victimizes himself and further keeps putting himself in these situations and it’s sad how it slowly changes you until you’ve become a whole new person
0:13 beautifully showed every doors closing on the face. Means struggling to get a opportunity to prove himself. But he did finally. "The fact is walter white couldn't have done it without me"
His story is tragic. It always was clear to me that despite his character's acceptance that the quickest path to wealth is through wicked means, I noticed that the actions themselves never draw a smile from him. Deep within him, James McGill's conscience is ever present. Some might say the same of Walter White, but Walt's remorse for his many kills is so little, it's negligible.
I've always been under the impression that Jimmy did never actually "change". Where one can spot a turning point, I honestly spot an "epiphany". Jimmy has always been Saul in the same exact measure Saul has always been Jimmy. As It's said, "people don't change".
"I guess that's your cross to bear" is one of the coldest things Jimmy ever says. Shit would be devastating to hear if you were Howard in that situation
It’s crazy, as Saul is escaping his office in the final episode of BB, Jesse confronts him about the ricin. He yells “I didn’t know what he was going to do with that, I would’ve kept it if I knew… I DIDN’T WANT ANY OF THIS” That’s a glimpse of Jimmy. 😢
How many characters Bob played as Jimmy as a conman is incredible! The random naked guy in Howard’s locker room, Howard twice, the commercial guy, the tracksuit, Special Agent Jeffrey Steele, Gene, Victor. Too many to remember! He got Huell out when he wasn’t even a damn lawyer! 😦
What I really love about this show is how they showed the reasons for someone’s downfall or even rise- however you prefer to see it. Jimmy was always put down as a no good 2 bit lawyer and guess what? That’s what he became. Makes me wonder what would of became of him if he was treated better.
The funny thing is that Saul was not really a well developed character before bcs. The creators just made a 1 dimensional comic relief into one of the most tragic and complex characters of all time
