EL CAMINO: A BREAKING BAD MOVIE | REACTION PART 2

[@dylan54945]

Breaking Bad ends with a face shot of Jesse driving away ecstatic, but screaming with so much raw emotion and uncertainity. El Camino ends with a face shot of Jesse driving away smiling, and happy looking forward to his new life. Man, that ending always gets me.

Man do I love El Camino, it felt like Vince Gilligan closing doors and turning off lights before he leaves the house. Legitimately phenomenal writing, a perfect epilogue to Jesse's story, his swan song if you will. I genuinely believe it'll receive a reappraisal of sorts in the years to come.

[@jish55]

What made this film particularly amazing was that NO ONE expected this to come, where there was no news about it, no hints, nothing, and then out of the blue, we get a teaser for this film a literal month before it came out on Netflix.

[@SuzakuX]

Not entirely true. We knew they were developing a movie about Jesse with the working title Greenbrier about a year before they released the teaser. They ended up changing the name but it wasn't a complete surprise.

[@emad1355]

The entire series Jesse has been in the passengers seat from Walter to Mike to finally Hank. The final shot of Felina and El Camino show that Jesse is now in the driver’s seat. He is now the driver of his destiny.

[@mechadoggy]

That’s why we got that flashback scene with Jane, not just to show that Jesse still loves her. As she says, “I’ve gone where the universe takes me my whole life. It’s better to make those decisions for yourself.” It’s also why Jesse says, “you did your best, and whatever happened with me, it’s on me,” when he called his parents and reconciled with them, acknowledging his own responsibility for his bad choices.

[@dir-gk]

beautiful.

[@Chaosm03]

This movie is more of a character piece. It's essentially Jesse having the opposite character arc of the one he had in season 3. It's him slowly realizing that yes there is life after doing being bad. But, this is isn't a redemption story; it's a rebirth story. That's why the Mike, Walter, Jane flashbacks are key. Mike sets up the thesis of the film, the Walt flashback is him reflecting on his former mentor and through him coming to the opposite realization that he did in problem fog and the Jane flashback is him now finally self actualuzing everything he just went through. Sure he can't change what he's done and he has to carry it with him, but from this moment on it dosen't have to be an anchor around his neck that keeps him from making the future better.

[@gr8fulded]

I was in ABQ when this was being filmed. We took one of those Breaking Bad Tours where a guide takes you to all the key spots from the show (and Better Call Saul). Our tour guide knew where they were filming and took us around to see some of the action. Apparently they repainted the inside of Twisties back to the colors of El Pollo Hermanos, anticipating that as a location for El Camino, even though it seems it wasn't used. Great timing to be in ABQ, that was the only time I'd been there.

[@SidPhoenix2211]

in my opinion, El Camino wasn't really needed. But God, am I glad that we got it. In my head, I always hoped that wished that Jesse made it to someplace safe, under a new name, and did his best to lead a good life. This movie just gave confirmation to that idea. I like how the script for Felina put it. CLOSE ANGLE -- JESSE. Grimly determined, fearing nothing, he speeds through the darkness. From here on, it’s up to us to say where he’s headed. I like to call it “something better,” and leave it at that. I am so glad we got this little movie/love letter to Jesse. Wish him nothing but the best.

[@Torthrodhel]

I really like how much doubt they weave into you when Jesse is going to his old house, ending in the twist that he's there for guns not money. Masterful balancing act of audience emotion.

[@Drforrester31]

What I loved about El Camino is that it didn't feel like a cash grab, to me at least.

[@IsdudeMe]

[@christopherlundgren1700]

A lot of the time with "reunion specials" or "TV movies" like these, they bring out all of the popular characters from the show for little cameos, but it often feels kind of forced. Like, hey remember THIS guy? Here he is! I didn't get that impression with this at all. Maybe because the style of the show already has a fair amount of jumping around chronologically, having those "deleted" scenes feels natural and organic, like they could have been part of the original show, and they help speak to the relationships from the past that have shaped Jesse's character into the present.

I feel like the Walter flashback has a double meaning but I don't know if it's on purpose. Not only is Walt so much older than Jesse when they finally "do something special", but in real life of course Bryan Cranston is much older than Aaron Paul, and it could be argued that Breaking Bad is the "something special" Cranston finally got to do, and that Aaron Paul is so lucky to have been part of something so special so young.

For me, considering Jessie was to be killed off in the 1st season in a show with no real protagonists that one can "look-up to" save for maybe Hank, I thought this movie was a great end-cap for a character whose arc organically took shape as the seasons progressed beyond what he was originally constructed for. Amazing work!

[@Josh86_559]

Jesse sure did learn a lot from Walt , especially problem solving. In the beginning of the series , Jesse always came to Walt for some brilliant plan to bail them out.. like with Tuco , when the RV died , when Hank almost caught them in the RV , and so many times after that. How Jesse got away with this , with thinking & planning was amazing. Definitely learned from Walt , and how Ironic that Walt was his actual teacher .

[@ChipJones421]

Loved your reaction to seeing Walt walk out into the hallway. It was perfect. And I may be in the minority here, but I hated Jane. She was toxic and was the worse thing for Jesse. At that moment in his life when he met her, he hadn't had much happiness, and she was the first person to show him love, and he ran with it. In turn, she passed on her heroid addiction to him, jeopardized his relationship with Walt out of greed, was willing to blackmail Walt, and nearly ruined the potential deal with Gus. When Walt let her die, it was both a turning point for his character, but also a death that was necessary as if Jesse stayed with Jane, they would probably both end up dead. I hated how he held on to her more than Andrea, who was a much better influence on him compared to Jane.

The beetle actually has a meaning. When Jessie let it crawl over his hand in one of the early BB episodes, Skinny P. just stepped on the beetle afterwards. This showed that Jessie is actually not a killer but that he has a good heart and respects even the smallest creature. The scene with the beetle in El Camino makes it clear that Jessie, despite all the terrible things that have happened to him, still has a good heart and that this piece of his soul is still intact.

[@dunringill1747]

LOTS of callbacks as well as some character development for Jesse in El Camino. *Character development* - Jesse's acceptance of his parents even after discovering they changed their safe combo from his birthday to his brother's birthday. *Call back* - Jesse driving away at the end because he was wearing a similar colored turtleneck that Walter wore in the pilot episode of BB.

An amazing little line I didn't pick up on when I first watched this, in the diner scene where Jesse says "it's got Bromine" and walt corrects him to bromeline and says it's not even close to the same thing. Bromine is Br on the periodic table, of course Br being one half of the breaking bad logo, the other being Ba for Barium

In 20 years time, Brock starts his own drug empire and discovers Walts chemistry books and becomes "The Next Heisenberg" ... - Great reaction video, really enjoyed the intake. Love Breaking Bad one of my favs!

In the Walt scene, Walt suggests to Jesse that he should study Business and Marketing. In season 2 episode 4 of BB, Jesse talks to his mom about attending business school.

When El Camino was announced I was worried it might tarnish the absolute masterpiece that is Breaking Bad. But once again the brilliance of Vince Gilligan Cemented the Legacy of BB

The flashback with Walter and Jesse takes place in the episode 4 days out from season 2 one of my favourite episodes

I love jesses character development after escaping

The flashback was during the 4 Days Out episode when Walt told Skyler he was visiting his mother. That's when they made the huge batch before Walt got in contact with Gus.
