Without Lao Bai, Xiao Fan must learn to go on the road alone

After watching "The Last Badge: Breaking Bad Movie", there were no surprises and no disappointments. In this work controlled by Vince Gilligan, the "faner" of "Breaking Bad" is still there, but this is just a small pattern of "explaining" the fate of Xiaofan, lacking the five seasons of "Breaking Bad". "The Destiny of Life" shows a magnificent and magnificent layout of the fate of the characters.

When the first season of the American drama "Breaking Bad" aired, it was a blockbuster. In the subsequent seasons, the creator Vince Gilligan expanded the narrative pattern while being able to follow the initial setting of the character’s character, step by step to make the character image fuller for the camp, and let the dramatist again and again. "Surprised by making a case." While we were all worried that the plot would eventually get out of control and the character set would eventually collapse, Vince Gilligan came up with a logically tragic ending, giving "Breaking Bad" a near-perfect ending, and let this set The drama has become the first "original drama" among American dramas in the past two decades.

From the beginning, we guessed the ending of Lao Bai, but we don't know how he will go to his ending, Vince Gilligan gave the best plan we can imagine. Xiaofen is different. He is too young and his ending has too many possibilities. At the end of "Breaking Bad" in 2012, Vince Gilligan may not have thought about the ending of the fan, so he left the "dilemma" for the fan, not the ending. Seven years later, Vince Gilligan finally took out the ending of Xiaofen with goodwill, and completely put an end to "Breaking Bad".

"The Last Badger: The Breaking Bad Movie" is about running away, but also about growing up. Xiaofan grows up while fleeing, and gains a "new life" while growing up. His "rebirth" of course has no "legitimacy", but it is definitely "reasonable"-in order for the beloved fans to obtain a "rebirth", it is just that a few "scum" pay the price of their lives That's it. It should be said that the ending of Xiaofan is in line with the psychological expectations of most drama fans.

Lao Bai may not be regarded as a "good teacher and helpful friend", but he is definitely the life mentor of Xiaofan. Vince Gilligan did not awkwardly resurrect Lao Bai, but through a "flashback", he brought Lao Bai back to the film, and let him point out the way of life "from scratch" to Xiaofan. After Xiaofan escaped, she didn't seek to make a comeback, but rather restrained "getting back" what belongs to her, and using this "thing" to reinvent herself and restart her life.

Compared with the drama series, the drama conflict in "Breaking Bad Movie" is relatively weak, which may disappoint some fans who are eager to see "passion". The narrative and tone of the film can be described as "calm"-Xiaofan has become mature in mind and handling. He began to learn to "calculate" like Lao Bai, and finally "calculated" himself. New life.

Vince Gilligan is still working on the details, even the correspondence between the strangled cleaner's belt and Todd's pants, he has carefully considered. In addition, "The Man of Life: Breaking Bad Movie" is also very distinctive in terms of audio-visual language. The vertical and horizontal composition, the use of the lens, and the magic of editing, Vince Gilligan all proved his wide-format narrative. In, it is also an expert.

After all, "Breaking Bad Movie" is only a two-hour extra part of "Breaking Bad". What it can hold is still very limited, and if you haven’t watched the episode, it’s Can't enter this story, let alone understand Xiaofen's growth and choice. As a side story, it satisfies most fans’ expectations for the "grand finale", but if you watch it as a film independently, "The Last Badger Movie" can only be said to be unsatisfactory-it is A film that must be understood in relation to the "context".

    To be honest, if it weren't for some aesthetic emotional points, such a foolish plot would really have a lower score. And the most important question is that Aaron Paul's vicissitudes of life in the story of the memory is not the same as the previous little fan, which fully shows a problem: time is more terrible than drugs

    The "Breaking Bad" series is the best American drama in the long-form American dramas I have ever watched, almost none of them. (Nominations for "South Park" and "The Good Wife" by the way) GOT and The Walking Dead elbows are broken, the screenwriter of the real detective collapsed, and the drug lord is only in the third season. Friends remember that the sisters of bankruptcy are biased towards family fun... …Wait, there are always shortcomings in wooden barrels. Only "Breaking Bad" is almost all-round good. Old Bai Xiaofen pushes all his life.
