At the end of BB, we see Jesse screaming with joy and frustration while escaping the compound.
At the end of El Camino, we Jesse escaping New Mexico with hope.
...not much difference really... I much preferred to have an open ending for him at end of BB.
A sort of "decide your own ending for Jesse" thing
I think Jesse was a lot of people's favorite character and this story was first written by Vince Gilligan at the end of Breaking Bad because he also wanted an ending for Jesse. It could have been condensed down to 1 episode, but after seeing it, there was really no way it could fit in the TV show and still have it end with Walt.
shareYeah I agree... But surely Vince could have come up with one more quick shot of Jesse having a definitive ending at the end of BB.
All in all,it was a good film overall :)
Yeah but this meandered along slowly, and ultimately, unfulfilling.
I was looking so damn forward to this, and now it feels like I just woke up from a dream on a lazy balmy sunday with the pedestal fan wistfully turning stagnant air into an oscillating breeze.
And .. there is only fresh memory of the saturday before, that I want to remember, and the sad, obnoxiously stale notion of monday, to look forward to.
melancholy and depression set in, and within a moment, I decide... "screw it, I'm chucking a sickie.." and get blind drunk watching reruns of stargate atlantis and eating a half cooked marinated steak that I forgot I prepared earlier, and refuse to submit to defeat.
People said the same thing with the season where Walt beat Gustavo.
shareNope. Walt’s killing of Gus led to the “I won” statement as well as the reveal that Walt poisoned Brock with the lillies of the valley. That event signify that Walt was now a cold, heartless villain; he was now Heisenberg permanently
shareHe wasn’t a cold, heartless villain. The series was of full of those - sadists and butchers who kill innocents with zero remorse. Walt did what he had to to survive and protect his family, and give them a nest egg when he’s gone.
Seriously, is there anything he did that you wouldn't have done in the exact same circumstances?
I'm good with it.
I would've liked to see Jesse wrestling more with his conflicting feelings about Walt (and thus more Walt) but it did show that Jesse, who was already a basket case when he was kidnapped, is a stronger more resolute man than he ever was before.
I agree. This movie was filler, didn’t add much to the BB universe
