BRYAN CRANSTON EL CAMINO TV
He gave a hint to what's in there, though.ĭid you spot all of the Breaking Bad characters in El Camino? What other TV shows should get movies after Breaking Bad? Between El Camino and the Downton Abbey movie's success, you know more are coming." In order to be an actor you really have to be one of those types of people who are risk-takers and have what is considered an actor's arrogance, which is not to say an arrogance in your personal life.
BRYAN CRANSTON EL CAMINO MOVIE
Aaron Paul said he was disappointed that the movie cut out the voiceover that was originally planned to reveal the full contents of the letter. Jesse also ends the movie by giving vacuum salesman/disappearing maestro Ed ( RIP Robert Forster) a letter for young Brock.
Maybe he will go to college and study sports medicine or business. Yes, right after Walter White's line to Jesse, Jesse gives an incredulous look - that's the screenshot above - and then the scene cuts to Alaska, where Jesse prepares to start his new life. He’s a grown man, and older and wiser, and he’s going to go off and hopefully finally have the life that he deserves. He’s no longer in the next scene Jesse Pinkman he’s someone named Mr. It’s his silent reaction of, 'Oh my God, you think this is greatness?' And that leads us into the final scene of him becoming a different person. Aaron’s reaction to the line is really what buttons the scene and what makes it what it is. It’s a sad moment because if Walter White thinks this is the greatest thing he’s ever done, what kind of life has he led? And really, it allows for this wonderful reaction on Jesse’s part, and Aaron plays it beautifully. More than anything, it gives us this glimpse into Walter White’s mind. And you’re right, it’s kind of a compliment, but it’s a twisted one at that. Vince Gilligan continued to EW on how that line in the diner scene took shape and what it said about Walter White's mindset:Īnd we thought about it and finally, we came up with that line. I'm also glad Gilligan is willing to listen to the ideas of others, since ultimately it was his call. He almost ended the movie with Jesse Pinkman in jail until the Better Call Saul team (and his own girlfriend) convinced him that was a bad idea. I'm glad Vince Gilligan had a strong team to watch his back while he made El Camino. What does he learn here in this scene that helps him along on that journey?' It’s about him growing up and becoming an adult. It’s allowing the fans to see Walt and Jesse together again.' She said, 'That’s great, and they’re going to love that, but can’t there be something more still?' And I said, 'Like what?' She said, 'Well, how does it relate back to the larger movie? What does Jesse learn from it? Because in my mind, this movie is about Jesse transforming from a boy to a man. And when she read the script, she said, 'Well, aren’t we missing something here? What’s the point of the scene, ultimately?' I said, 'Well, to me the point of the scene is it’s a little thank-you to the fans. It was pretty much everything in that same now except without that ending. When I wrote the scene in the first draft of the script, it was just basically this lighthearted sitting in between these two characters. That was her idea to button the scene with a poignant moment like that. I have Melissa Bernstein to thank for that.
El Camino writer/director Vince Gilligan gave credit where it was due, saying the line came from producer Melissa Bernstein, who suggested the scene should have more meaning than just fan service: It really was a perfect line to sum up Walter White's ethos at the time - and actually throughout the rest of Breaking Bad from there. And that’s where Walter White found his - in the simple beauty and mathematical equation of chemistry.įascinating. But I do believe that every person on this planet is looking for their own personal empowerment. It’s such an odd juxtaposition to imagine him reconciling that. And then, out of this extraordinary set of circumstances of his own impending demise, he makes this decision to do what he does and ironically finds greatness in it, finds fulfillment in it, even though he knew very well what he was doing was poisoning the world.
That was Walter White when we first met him. That’s right.' He was so filled with ennui when he was teaching to a classroom full of students who didn’t care, and he lost his spark, he lost his fire, his purpose. When I read that script and read that line, I went, 'Oh, wow. I’m glad you pointed that out because that resonated with me greatly and really helped me understand the frame of mind that Walter White was in at the time.
