Breaking Bad: Why Heisenberg Doesn't Exist
Вставка
- Опубліковано 14 жов 2024
- *MAJOR SPOILER WARNING seriously if you haven't watched the show don't let me spoil it for you!*
Also my apologies for the low quality footage in some parts! Mostly I tried to use my own footage but had to use uploaded clips in some parts so the quality dipped! Hopefully it's not too distracting, and sorry again!
PHEW this was a beast of a video to make. Skip to the end if you want an explanation as to why this video is so different to my usual content, but tdlr; I'm going to try branching out into video essays/analysis/discussion videos, and topics that I personally enjoy rather than just drama :) Hope you enjoy, this was super fun to make!!

Underrated comment. This made me spit
More like overrated, I see this everywhere

Heisenberg was actually a sentient cursed hat.
Like that disney movie! LMAO

As far as being a sentient hat goes, being a drug dealer seems way more fun than giving personality quizzes to children.
like the witch hat from wwdits!
I even think Walter’s entire love for Chemistry was rooted in an admiration for violence. I’m rewatching the show now, and twice Walt informs Jesse of times in history when Chemistry was used in war to create poison and inflict severe damage. He loves the fact that he can level entire buildings, or destroy many lives without primal violence.
Underrated comment
oOoOO this is a wonderful interpretation
I never thought of it like that before but you might be into something and the fact that almost every time he used chemistry in the show it was in a destructive way. The thermite, the acid, the ricin, the fulminated mercury, the bomb and the most destructive of all the meth.
Yeah that's why the "this is the moment he became Heisenberg" comments never resonated with me. Walter White and Heisenberg are the same person.
Completely agree. They're so overused (ironically or not) and they don't say anything interesting
“This is the moment Walter became Heisenberg” is basically just a meme at this point.
@@shockshplock3480 And that's how it should be
@Mickey Mouse This is how Heisenberg became Heisenberg
This is the moment Walter White became Hindenburg
In a nutshell, "Power does not corrupt. Power reveals."
Thank yooooou, so few people don't get that power is not the corrupter it's the mirror showing who someone is
@@jazzhands8525 Thanks. :) Actually there is an entire book written on this topic called 'The Power Broker' by Robert Moses.
@@princesseuphemia1007 thanks
@@princesseuphemia1007 I'll be sure eto check in on it
@@jazzhands8525 Oh wait scratch that last comment. I just double checked and that specific book is about a specific person not the nature of power itself. What I should have written is that the researcher who wrote it researched the nature of power and how humans interact with it. He wrote a lot of stuff about a lot of different powerful people in his studies and the conclusion he came to throughout was basically that power reveals more than it corrupts. Statement ammended. :P
I always found Bryan cranston's thoughts on the subject really interesting. When he was asked the exact same question (when does the transformation occur?), he explained in an interview that he feels Walter turned into Heisenberg in the very first episode, the first time that he did something that was out of line with his own morals & character . . .
Yep soon as he decided to become a criminal
I agree with that,imo he was always there. Heisenberg wasnt born he was always there.
It's the "F you and your eyebrows!" moment for me lol
i always used to relate walter's cancer to his heisenberg persona. like heisenberg was never something that suddenly manifested from the devastating cancer diagnosis, it was a slow overtake of his life from back when he was still a fresh post-break-up aged-up jock as u said. it came from within. like it was always there and just needed the right circumstance to emerge and when it did it blasphemed.
“I do not *have* cancer, Skyler. I *AM* the cancer.”
I agree 100% with you, but I will say that the original Jekyll and Hide is actually what you described in the video. Hollywood and pop culture has turned the Jekyll and Hide story into the tale of a split personality, when the original book was actually about Dr. Jekyll wanting to embrace his darker side and deciding to use some sort of potion thing to change his appearance and take no blame. By the end of the story Hide felt like a completely different person and the potion thingy that Jekyll created started going haywire. The theory is actually the story of Jekyll and Hide without the physical changes.
i fuckin love jekyll and hyde the book is the best it bangs
I believe the physical transformation was more about how it was underdeveloped.
The dude suppressed his rage and darkness, so his evil side was deformed and acted childlike. But good job knowing the difference!
Say whaaaaaaaaaaa.
Ya learn something new everyday.
....AND I WAS JEKYLL, JEKYLL HYDE, JEKYLL HIDE HIDE JEKYLL, JEKYLL, JEKYLL HIDE, JEKYLL HYDE!
@@theimplications635 Having fun isn't hard....when you've got a library card!
I agree with most of these points. I've always kinda hated the whole "Walt vs Heisenberg", "Anakin vs Vader", "Light vs Kira" angle. They're the same person they were. Yeah, they changed. But it's still them.
Small nitpick, though. You used the examples of Walk "joking" about his crimes to Hank as a sort of form of guilt surfacing. Which is understandable because Skylar thinks so, too. But, to me, it always seemed like Walt not liking needing to hide his "accomplishments". He takes a lot of pride in his work, his product, and the rewards he reaps. It seriously bugs him that Hank, who he has always resented and felt a rivalry with, will never see him as nothing but a weak everyman. No one will ever know how awesome he is and what he did. Something he's mostly okay with because he doesn't wanna go to jail, but forever haunts him. Gretchen and Elliot will continue to grow rich and famous while he will die in obscurity. I dunno, that was just my take on them.
Same with “Saul Goodman”. like Jimmy himself said, it’s just a name
my mum on facebook posted a meme that said “at least i’m not addicted to cocaine🤣” like yeah i guess but she is literally addicted to meth
jesus christ that made me laugh xd
meth is fabricated with chemicals like house cleaner, while cocaine is a plant. If I was forced to take one I would advise every soul to take cocaine it is less addictive, makes a less crazy high, and is in the end bad, but healthier than crystallized windex.
@@uhhrodney cocaine is not a plant. Cocaine is made using kerosene and other various chemicals you wouldn't want in your body. Even if cocaine was a plant how would that make it any healthier or safer? Some of the most deadly chemicals come from plants.
Meth isn't more addicting than cocaine. You can't really say one is more addictive than the other since one person may prefer coke while the other prefers meth, they're pretty much equal in that regard. Lastly cocaine is more cardiotoxic than meth.
@@goldenhospitality8521 cocaine is a plant, and who are you mr white?
@@uhhrodney no, cocaine is not a plant. It is extracted from a plant. Huge difference.
I'm so glad to have found your channel, ever since I watched Breaking Bad i've always thought it wasn't quite the "transformation" of Walter White to Heisenberg that people said the show was. I've been trying to find this kind of theory video for a long time tbh, good shit
What further supports this interpretation is also simply the name Heisenberg. While Walter is a chemist, the name alludes to physicist Werner Heisenberg, who formulated the uncertainty principle of quantum mechanics. The uncertainty principle states that one can't know the momentum of a subatomic particle and its position at the same time.
The use of this reference implies Walter is uncertain about who he is, whether he's truly a hardened criminal deep down or a family man.
Didn't Werner also aid the Nazis?
This reminds me a LOT of Jekyll and Hyde. The popular understanding of that story now is that it's about a nice man who is transformed by a potion into a different man who is evil. However, the source material is actually very different. In the original story, Jekyll has been holding back cruel and violent urges all his life. He creates the potion as a sort of disguise he can use to finally act on those evil urges without getting caught. Jekyll and Hyde are not two different people, Hyde is just the alter ego Jekyll uses to do anything he wants without repercussions.
Similarly, Heisenberg. People can argue endlessly over when exactly the kind high school teacher became the evil murderer. But there will never be an answer to that question, because the premise is flawed from the start. Walter and Heisenberg are not two different people, Heisenberg is just the alter ego Walter uses to do whatever he wants without repercussions.
yet George Floyd was a saint lol... get real
@@Wutface ??
Wonderful analysis! I agree completely with the points you made about what it all means and to me that's what makes the show so incredible.
I deadass thought this was gonna be about the actual physicist, and was gonna be a joke about his Uncertainty Principle. Like my brain skipped completely over "Breaking Bad" in the title. 😂
Bold of u to assume I’m intelligent enough to make something that clever 😔
@@Izzzyzzz lmao the only reason I know about it is that I was assigned him as a person to do a project on, way back in middle school... I think my intelligence peaked in 8th grade. 😔
Honestly? Same.
@@Izzzyzzz real late but just wanted to say that vince himself honestly has explained walter better than most fan analysis and it does basically confirm the walt is heisenberg thing but it also has a bit more nuance to it considering he didn't initially think of walter as a bad guy.
honestly the big takeaway for me is that thinking walt is uniquely evil at any point isn't really helpful, it's more just that he never was able to deal with his actual problems till the end, even when it came out so clearly because of circumstance, he had such a bruised ego (of his own making in a decent sense because it was so deep rooted) that he'd have died rather than deal with it properly, until the very last episode of the series, by which point he's lost everything else except for the path of heisenberg,
which might just be more tragic, that it wasn't only by nature but simply by not acknowledging his faults in a healthy way, that he chose to become this, to not deal with those problems in a sense. it's even more tragic that he was satisfied with having lived just for that heisenberg. and even being the genius he was, he likely never really ended up understanding that, he just ended up dying happily at a point where he got that it was impossible for him to be anything more even if he lived.
Neerrrrrrrrrd
I should do a similar video on anakin skywalker. I’m so sick of the “Anakin and Vader are separate people” BS. It makes no sense
OH MY GOD that would be so helpful for the fandom jfc. Like no, we're not playing by zombie rules or bodysnatching rules or ghost possession rules. All of those make sense to differentiate the "original" person from the new one. But Anakin is just a guy who was groomed from 9 years old by a shrivelled old man in a bathrobe, and kept choosing worse and worse outlets for his trauma until it blew up in his face.
i’m so glad someone made a video about this!! people always get so obsessed with “walt vs. heisenberg” when talking about BB and it always makes it feel like they don’t really get the point. heisenberg isn’t some alternate personality that walt uses to do bad things. it’s a coping mechanism to avoid the reality that he himself has done all these terrible things, a lesson which he doesn’t learn until the very end. i think the reason so many people love to talked about “when walt became heisenberg” is that the show is so good and putting you inside walt’s head and making you see his perspective, in which heisenberg is a badass persona that does what walt is too afraid to do.
Imma be honest people judge Skyler far too harshly imo.
I remember how much I liked Walter and how much I hated Skyler when I was younger watching the show for the first time.
I recently re-watched the show and I was surprised how much I was siding with Skyler(except maybe for the cheating part, but I found it totally defendable still) and how much I got fed up with Walter's constant lying and endangering his family just for ego.
So true, poor lady was way over her head and just desperately wanted to protect her kids. Walt liked to act like there was no danger when people were getting killed left and right, and a gun had been pointed at his head so many times, all for his mf ego. No doubt their kids were not safe around him, I’ve always been on Skylers side :(
Not only her, but Marie as well imo.
I mean, I can understand why someone who just watch the show for the fun and thrill of see people who make meth get in trouble, but I really liked her character even when I thought I wouldn't.
And while I wouldn't say she's "underrated" because I can totally get why people may find other characters far more interesting and fun to analyze, I will say that she's way too overhated and I love her dynamic with Hank, Skyler and also Walt in the occasions they interacted
Yeah, I watched the first season or two with my family (I couldn’t keep watching because the realistic depiction of cancer hit me so personally that the show gave me a fuckton of anxiety) and my dad kept calling her an annoying nagging bitch and it made me SO UNCOMFORTABLE, especially because it was also said in such a way that it was very clear he wouldn’t call a male version of her such things. That woman had to put up with so much shit, of course she wasn’t perfect but really disappointed to find out the hate went beyond just my dad
@@ShiroNero94 that’s what’s so clever about the writing (and why the whole discussion of “when did Walt become Heisenberg” is such a thing), because yeah, everyone I’ve spoken to who’s watched the show twice has said exactly the same thing, myself included.
On the initial watch you’re beguiled into feeling bad for Walt so much that you’re willing to overlook a lot of shit, and at the same time you get frustrated with Skyler for not understanding that Walt’s just a good guy struggling to provide for his family.
And then you rewatch it, knowing where things go, and you see that Walt was always a prideful, self-serving git, and Skyler is just a normal woman responding to shit like her husband disappearing for days and becoming a fucking meth dealer. Obviously there are still some people who hate her no matter what, but there’s some people who are always looking for any excuse to scream at women fictional or otherwise, so they’re best ignored.
Honestly, I think Breaking Bad is the only bit of media that’s ever lived up to the hype, for me.
even though this is the second video i watched of you, i think you should continue doing these kind of videos. your script/writing is very good and simple to follow (i especially like the ending line)
subscribed!
Wow, I'm really glad I watched this video! I had the same opinion of the show -- Walt was Heisenberg all along, and his deterioration is the mystique. Breaking Bad was such an experience for me, it's the first "real" television series I saw and every episode I found myself thinking deeply about what happened. Your take on the opening scene was something I hadn't considered and I love that interpretation. I would literally send my friend paragraphs of analysis every time something huge happened. It's such an amazing show and I hope everyone has a chance to watch it.
This is the moment when Walter white became Walter white
I really liked this video, also I think the points you made are why I love characters like Mike and Gus. They know what they're doing is wrong and don't try to justify it as right or pin it onto some alter ego. They take responsibility for their actions and understand the consequences but try to do good in spite of it, like Mike caring for Kaylee and Gus helping and contributing to several different communities (like the town in "Dedicado a Max" in BCS).
My last few years have been, to myself at least, bookmarked by my own decisions and how they've set myself back and hurt others at the same time. Broken hearts, betrayed trust, emotional and physical neglect, and omission. Your video just now helped me figure out how I've felt in words.
I would define “becomes Heisenburg” as the moment when Walt stops doing things to save money for his family but instead because he enjoys the power and danger. For me this moment is when he confronts the shabby meth dealer buying meth lab supplies and tells him to get out of his territory.
In that moment he could be totally out, he has money and is safe. But it’s no longer about the money, he is Heisenburg and he will not stand to see someone encroach on his turf.
Except that he never needed the money. He had a rich friend who was already fully willing to pay for his treatment. It was ALWAYS for his ego and his desire for power.
you're Heisenberg, you're Heisenberg, you're Heisenberg, I'M HEISENBERG!
Is there any other Heisenbergs I should know about?
Fake Heisenberg: Meow
Meow translates to “yeah science” In Heisenian dialectics
ive been a subscriber for a while, but i had no idea you did these more video-essay videos! this is so good. I love your usual content too, but more stuff like this on shows you like would be awesome. idc if i don’t even know the show, i just like hearing your take on it
This video was beautiful. I was so happy when I realized that you had made a breaking bad video. Part 5 is especially good, I started tearing up a little. PLEASE make morr of these 🙏🙏🙏
When I went to Canada on holiday there was a marathon of Breaking Bad... every episode back to back. I absolutely love this series. So gritty, so scummy, so brilliant.
I thought this as well, it was clear to me throughout the series Walter White was always this prideful manipulative man, he just never showed it for one pitiful reason or another. Numerous times in the series, even when he is “good” he has clear moments where the facade breaks & vice versa. His pride was always there, and so was “Heisenberg”
This is one of the best Breaking Bad analyses I've seen. I've never even thought of these ideas in this light until seeing this. Interesting to think about every character's own personal "Heisenberg". Very well done!
I just finished Breaking Bad yesterday. Fantastic show. Great analysis.
I just love the way this show uses color.
I clicked this on a whim. I've never watched a single episode of BB, but your videos are always so interesting.
lol I was yelling "Walter was always Heisenberg!!!" at the screen for the entire first section of this video
This is the moment where Izzzyzzz became heiseinberg...
Before watching the show I've seen millions of comments / memes saying ''this is where he becomes Heisenberg'' (not the ironic ones, I've been seing these comments since 2012) and I thought that the main character has a legit split personality, after watching the show i was like ''what the hell, Heisenberg is just a pseudonym he used in drug deals'' lol.
This was the moment Huell became happy.
Reasonably.
/-_-\
Its a weird show to watch since I'm British and the National Health Service means that he would never have started cooking meth.
Fuck...
He may have still done it out a fear of dying and leaving Skylar to raise two kids while hold a job. Plus I feel like no matter what happened to him, Walt would have always ended up 'breaking bad', since that nature is just in his blood. ('Im not justifying America's broken Healthcare System though, that shit is awful).
Wasn't the cancer that made him do that.
false, walter had the opportunity to get medical health care working for elliot but he refused
@@checkthisout7616 That was because of his pride and resentment towards his former business partner (due to losing a romantic interest to him, and then leaving the company which boosted elliot to greater fame wealth and success) which caused him to refuse handouts from them. Nationalised Healthcare wouldn't have forced that confrontation with his ego, allowing him to accept treatment as was his right as a citizen without hurting his pride.
The best way “The Take” described him is “He didn’t necessarily go from good to evil but from inaction to action.
Heisenberg has always been inside Walt, but I think that his meeting with Tuco is the first time Walt allowed Heisenberg to take over.
This is the moment izzzyzzz did a video essay on Heisenberg
this video is great and i really enjoyed the way you put something ive been feeling myself for a while but is that teeny tiny garfield by your right shoulder haunting you? hes just floatin. vibin.
also ive always felt that the overall message of breaking bad was about the middle class american inferiority complex and the violent ways it can manifest
i clicked on this just because I love breaking bad and it showed up on my rec. but damn I have to say I'm impressed, this is one solid video essay. The part about every character having their own heisenberg is a great take
He always struck me as just Walt dying and wanting to feel truly alive for what time he had left.
Great video! Compelling case for your interpretation, well-paced editing, and great balance of exposition to evidence. I'd love to see more analytical video essays in the future if there are other shows/movies you've got thoughts on!
I always thought that the entire show was about how Walter was trying to balance his ego and his id, after being thrown off kilter by his cancer diagnosis. I never even thought about how Walter and Heisenberg were somehow different people or personalities.
I really enjoyed this analysis. I was late to the breaking bad game and was always waiting for a moment I thought would come when Walter leaves his family for good and becomes hesienburg, but that moment doesn't come. I think this video analysis helped me understand why and I really appreciate it. I would really love to hear you talk about more films and tv shows. Maybe fight club woukd be a good one since you mentioned it here, but if you have any hot takes on mad max fury road I'm all ears.
Second video I've watched from your channel :0 I rlly enjoyed this video and I like how you explain things thoroughly and well
whole video is spot on. you hinted on this but if you think about it ..grey matter as a plot point really serves ZERO purpose besides giving him ONE extra motive in his decision to cook... which he has plenty of motive to begin with. I think the writers weaved in grey matter into the early episodes to emphasize that Walt has always been like this from the start, he never could of run grey matter successfully. All the traits in Heisenberg were there even in his youth (pride, ego, greed, and impulsiveness). They also never threw this right at your face, they didn't explain Walts contributions or exit from the company anywhere in the show. Every point in this video is slowly implied as the series goes on.
I'm watching Breaking Bad for the first time, and yeah, you're right. After I finished the first series I never really got why people always said things to me like, 'so this is when Walter turns evil' or whatever. Like, the guy beats up a random teenager in a clothing store, destroys someone's car, heck even thought it would be a good idea to start cooking meth as a viable solution to his problems early on in the show. Guy clearly had something inside him long before putting on a funny hat and calling himself Heisenberg.
i'm fucking dying idk why it's so funny that izzzyzzz made a breaking bad video essay like 2 years ago but it just is
I love this video! This has always been my thinking and was surprised how little people actually thought like that! Great work!
can you believe this was her first vid done in the her current style
I always felt that the only thing that *really* changed over the series, and the only thing stopping him from being like Heisenberg in the beginning, was fear. He was always a selfish, insecurely narcissistic, calculating, potentially vicious man, but he was also a coward. When he’s given a death sentence and confronted with an urgent need for big cash, he has his first motivators to face his cowardice. From that point, he gradually realizes what he’s capable of and how much he genuinely enjoys the power, and there are no brakes on that train because he’s always been Heisenberg deep down. The final scene is very “Walt” though - at peace, kinda wandering around the lab, admiring his vats, proud of his work, a true nerd at the very end, the same guy who enthusiastically talked about chemistry in S1E1. He never went anywhere.
This is like....the greatest Breaking Bad video essay I've watched
Such a shame that this is one of Izzzy's lowest viewed videos. It's one of my fav Breaking Bad analases ever 💙
Heisenberg: "I am a shadow. The true self. Say my name."
I LOOKED UP A HEISENBERG ANALYSIS AND DIDNT EXPECT TO SEE U
One of the best shows ever made. Hands down.
Yes... The duality of man. Since my early 2O's I have tried to keep the idea closely in my mind that the people "We" interact with or are meeting for the 1st time. May just be having the worst day of their life. Love Your analytical mind & truly enjoying the deep dives into topics I would otherwise have zero knowledge of. Keep up the great work.
This video has almost convinced me that the show is worth watching
You are missing out fr dude
tadej dezelak I’ve watched the first season and don’t like it
@@pidge5374 It gets waaay better after the first season. I say give the 2nd season a try and if you don't like it you can drop it
I just finished Breaking Bad yesterday. imo every episode and season was fantastic, but it does get better season by season, so maybe you should continue? Your choice :)
Breaking bad is fine as it was, but it’s one of those few premises that I wish was episodic sooo fucking bad, it has a cool premise and great chemistry, but what we got was fine too
Great analysis, i've always thought that there never was a heisenberg, just Walter White
Though i do feel like people portray Walter as someone more evil than i think he is
I've been bingeing a lot of your older stuff lately and I just wanted to say that I enjoyed this video so very much, and I am so impressed with your narrative here. Much as I love your deep dive into Littlest Pet Shop and coverage of various fandoms and similar content, this really shines in a truly unique way. I know it's not exactly in line with your current brand, but I really loved it! Awesome work. 💖
A bit sad that this video didn’t do as well as your drama videos :[
I really like that your usual vids are based on nostalgic Internet culture, but if you wanna do another art video, I think you should 💞
What an underrated video! This looked into the show even deeper than I even though, and it all means so much. Good job and great ideas!
My Heisenberg is my wealth, my popularity, my intelligence and my propensity to tell three lies and one truth.
Never seen the show, but as someone living with DID this analysis makes me wonder if people have ""multiple personality"" theories and how wild they are
they're not very common but they're all very ableist
I personally think you misread the Jane scene. Walter didn't let Jane die he moved her from a safe position (lying on side cuddled with jesse) to a dangerous one on her back. he facilitated her death and then mourned it lightly but still didn't preform cpr or anything he decided she had to die because even in Walter's narcissism he needed Jesse. the fact he placed Jane in risk of death through his actions is beyond just negligence into manslaughter minimum.
One of the best breaking bad videos. Amazing.
YAYYY IZZZ VIDEO ON BREAKING BAD!! Ive wanted to send a vid of yours to my partner and this is the perfect one to start with 😊
Great analysis and I like your editing style. I would absolutely watch either more Breaking Bad content or in-depth analysis of other media
I'd love to hear more content about tv/film from you! you have great deep dives in general and I'm always on the look out for more channels. Also good shout to for the Take, they are so underrrated
This is the moment Heisenberg ceased to exist
I really enjoyed hearing your thoughts on this show! I always enjoy your video essays and I’m definitely going to send this one to all the BB fans in my life lol
Absolute power doesn’t corrupt absolutely. It’s that when people are given the power to do whatever they want you are able to see what people actually want to do.
Hi I just found your channel and Breaking Bad was the first tv series that my partner and I watched together. I am very fond of breaking it down like you just did. I love your analysis. Thank you so much for your work!
This was amazingly well done.
i applaud you. after so many years since the show finished, i stumble upon a gem, giving me a completely new perspective on my favorite show. 10/10 video, thank you, i mean it.
I'm saying this before watching the video. Heisenberg isn't someone Walter becomes, at least permanently. Heisenberg is Walter whenever he is in control. Whenever he is not in control of the situation, he is Walter, the same pushover he is before the meth dealing.
Hmmm
this is the last video i would expect izzy to make
Recently came across your channel and I love the content. Great work!
First video from you and the makeup threw me off at first. But now I’m settled in, interested to see more from you :)
Yeah I've never seen makeup worn like that in my life lmao
Remember when Izzzyzzz thought she wasn't good enough for a pateron?
You've come a long way, queen.
This commentary is severely underrated.
I love the 8bit breaking bad music wonderful touch there
Izzz pls make more breaking bad commentary pls this is exactly what i was thinking except very vaguely LMAO and I really love ur analysis!!!! Incredible!!! Really hoping to see more if u ever feel like it bc my brain is imploding thx
I agree mostly but I think the two scenes with Hank where he "gives himself away" are more a clever way of deflecting attention.
This was really cool, I hope you do more show or movie analysis like this!
i think this was always my interpretation of this character. like when i first finished breaking bad i encountered the analysis of the “alter ego” of heisenberg that was disconnected from walt, but i never really bought it. he was always heisenberg, meaning heisenberg doesn’t really exist! does that make sense? just because heisenberg is finally shown in walts life during the duration of breaking bad doesn’t mean it wasn’t always there. great vid love!❤️❤️
Love how the conclusion of this essay can be summed up in Aaron Paul's _other_ performance, as a voice actor nonetheless. It's that episode of BoJack Horseman where Todd simply had enough.
*"You* are all the things that are wrong with you. It's not the alcohol, or the drugs, or any of the shitty things that happened to you in your career, or when you were a kid - it's *you.* Alright? It's *YOU."*
Such a great video! Subbed and will be looking for more.
Izzzyzzz is the one who knocks
I think Walter had the spirit of Heisenberg ever since he was diagnosed. I just think there was no turning back when he was talking to Jessie and he said it wasn't just about money and it was about "Empire building". That's when he officially knew it wasn't about the family anymore.
i 100% agree. watching it a second time, there is pretty much nothing to like about Walt from day 1. I seriously cried for Jessie the second time, he was manipulated and abused so badly by Walt. Every single time he tried to do anything better, Walt fucked it up for him. Its the saddest storyline I've seen honestly.
I've never watched until the end of these kinds of analyses. Good video
Breaking Bad is about letting go of fear. You could say, it is also a Stoic Poem about the inner worm vs the inner god. "The mind is its own place and in itself, can make a Heaven of Hell, a Hell of Heaven." John Milton. In Breaking Bad Walter White make a Hell of Heaven, and in El Camino Jesse make a Heaven of Hell.
The turning point is when he shaves his head. In breaking bad, and most other shows, I see the character shave their head when something traumatic happens to them that changes them.
Like how Jesse shaved his hair after killing gale. This was also a confirmed theory by Aaron paul himself.
I’ve seen many people say he’s selfish, however he has done many selfless stuff during the course of the show.
This show is fucking amazing.
Your camera is looking great now.
Thank you!! Yeah it’s definitely an improvement!
I agree with that, I had a discussion with someone when the show was first airing in the later seasons that Walt was never a nice guy or a good guy, he was just too much of a wuss to act on his darker impulses. I don't think he turned into Heisenberg as much as just started to let Heisenberg out, in bigger and bigger spurts. The milestones were just new lines he crossed with that... I think the most pivotal line was letting Jane die, it's the first time he let someone die for his convenience and not self defense. But it was always in him.
