Talk about that damn fly

Finally saw this episode of Fighting the Flies. it's true. At first, pure will guides you to do things, but then you realize that in order to achieve this ultimate goal of "condensing beauty and purity", you have done something that you hate or that others hate (contrary to the morality in the eyes of others) thing. You are miserable, anxious, and even remorseful, but you can only justify your actions by constantly reminding yourself that "the original intention was good". You try to get rid of that stain, but it's too deep, like the little red hand birthmark on Georgiana's cheek, to be wiped away. (The parable of the story in this episode is somewhat similar to Hawthorne's "Birthmark.") The boat is done, and after struggling, Lao Bai murmurs, "It's already polluted anyway." I don't think the perfect moment that Lao Bai has been looking for has existed, at least since he kept stacking lies, there was no perfect moment to speak of.

There can be many interpretations of the content (and interesting from the perspective of his relationship with Jesse), but everyone can look at the life of Lao Bai through this seemingly long and boring episode like a revolving light. To put it nicely, it is a desperate and brave lone ranger, and to say it badly is a righteous and self-deprecating bastard.

    The first few episodes really fell apart. Fortunately, the next few episodes of the drama are back. It’s better to have a bad ending than a bad ending... The ending of this season is heart-wrenching and exciting, and the third party really didn’t end well = =

    Although there have been many wonderful turns and advancements in the plot, the episodes are mixed. Many of Jesse and Skyler's paranoia are unreasonable, and some of the coincidental details cannot be resisted. The Flies episode is particularly puzzling, as the sudden change in rhythm and fuss is not about the inner development of the characters. In general, Walter has become more and more unfathomable, and this character is arguably the most charming (one of) American TV series.
