Finally got around to Breaking Bad, which surprised me in being just as good, if not better, than people say it is, and naturally before diving into Better Call Saul, it’s El Camino time. I felt really satisfied by the finale of BB so there was huge risk that this turned out to feel unnecessary and ham-fisted, but it actually ended up serving as a great epilogue. Really good to have the focus shift to Jesse and really put Aaron Paul’s incredible performance into the forefront. That’s what really carries El Camino for me. The film really carries this early Tarantino feeling to it, which works perfectly, and while being less tense than the final few episodes of BB, it’s a truly intriguing unravelling of Jesse as a fugitive desperately trying to find a way out that really kept me gripped throughout, despite really being nothing more than a footnote.
*El Camino riprende esattamente da dove finisce Breaking Bad. Jesse Pinkman, appena fuggito dal complesso della banda di Jack Welker dove era stato tenuto prigioniero e costretto a produrre metanfetamina, scappa a bordo della Chevrolet El Camino. Braccato dalla polizia e tormentato dai traumi della prigionia, cerca disperatamente un modo per ottenere una nuova identità e ricominciare da zero. Nel corso del film riaffiorano ricordi del suo passato attraverso flashback con personaggi chiave della serie, mentre Jesse affronta gli ultimi ostacoli che lo separano dalla libertà. Il film conclude il suo arco narrativo con un finale intimo e malinconico, offrendo una chiusura al suo percorso. Non è un film che cerca di superare Breaking Bad: è il suo epilogo perfetto.* Ho visto tante recensioni che lo definiscono "l'episodio finale che mancava", e sono completamente d'accordo. Chi si aspettava…
I feel like they went no where with this. Jesse just went on side quests the whole movie and fought some antagonist that I don’t even remember being in breaking bad in the first place.
Watched the show and it’s a 10/10. I would write a review for it but talking about how good it is is completely pointless The movie was honestly not that necessary for me since I was very satisfied with the conclusion of the series and even though we never found out what Jesse did after the ending, it’s enough to know that he will end up living a better new life. For me the movie was a bit dull and meandering for the most part, but it was still very well acted and directed, and jesses character and aaron pauls performance were amazing to witness once again in a new light. and the last 20 minutes were also beautiful to watch. its a unnecessary yet still very enjoyable ending to a incredible story
Everyone remembers Heisenberg. I remember the kid he ruined
