  • A video essay comparing the boxcutter scene through visual language.
    TWITTER: / lancellotifilms
    In this video essay, we undertake a critical examination of Breaking Bad counterpart, delving into both the strengths and weaknesses of each adaptation. By scrutinizing the linguistic nuances and editing choices employed in both series, we aim to elucidate how the other version falls short in certain aspects compared to the original. Through this comparative analysis, we highlight not only the educational value of studying adaptations but also the importance of recognizing shortcomings in cultural translations.

    Mike instinctively yanking his gun out is one of my favorite minor details in the series. He's about as loyal of an underling as you can get, and the shock and surprise is so overwhelming to him that he instantly detects gustavo as a threat without even realizing it's his boss he's aiming at.

    • @absinthealice
      @absinthealice 2 месяца назад +193

      There are so many moving parts with Mike, it's crazy. The only other character in the BB/BCS universe that comes close is Lalo. The game of chess each plays is past 4d and into otherworldly. Very intelligent characters. Outside of Walter's scientific intelligence, the street smarts of Mike and Lalo make them superior in that sense.

      I always enjoyed how we get three different reactions from the people in the room. Mike grabs his gun because he perceives a threat. Walt backs away because he is frightened. Jesse leans forward because he isn’t afraid to die, in that moment. Both Breaking Bad and Better Call Saul are such great character studies

    • @EverydayLinguistics

      I also thought he grabbed the gun more for Gus's safety. Gus has attacked Victor, and what if Victor tries to fight back? Mike protects his boss unconditionally.
      I know, he was losing a lot of blood, but Mike pulled out the gun immediately before he knew what was going to happen.
      At least, that's another angle on it.

      Also what I felt was really important was at 12:00 you can see that Jesse is fixated on the boxcutter even before it's been established as a threat. He's so on edge that he's prepared for any threat. As opposed to 12:12 when his counterpart isn't even on screen until the moment Gustavo acts. And he's not even really looking at him up until that point.

    • @MrFruitPrimate
      @MrFruitPrimate 2 месяца назад +36

      The way the audience is naturally predisposed to look down on Jesse and empathize with Walt in the beginning and the way it’s completely subverted by the end is probably the biggest masterstroke of the entire series. Jesse is a degenerate drug user, but he truly has a good heart, he’s not without ambition, but every time he’s has to forsake his morality you can feel him fight it, his arc is one in which he tries to be a better person and is consistently pushed to be worse by Walt, every time he fights back he’s punished, but he continues to try to do the right thing. Killing Gale and later seeing the skinheads kill that innocent kid messes him up in a way that Walt doesn’t need to reconcile with. At the end of the day Jessie may kind of be a piece of shit, but he’s a victim in so many ways and it feels like he deserves better. He’s in an evil world the whole story revolves around making and selling meth, Jessie gets treated like he’s a natural part of that world, but apart from being a user and maybe a small time dealer in the beginning, it doesn’t feel like it’s his world, but Walt makes it his world from the moment he kills that dude in the first season, he’s on a path going one direction and it can only end one way. Jessie has hope, he IS hope, that’s what he’s meant to represent at the end of the day.

    9:40 I think you glossed over mike's look here. The entire time Mike has been waiting for Gus to arrive, and its likely he's been wondering what the hell Gus is going to do to react to this. Here we almost see a bit of fear in Mike. He knows Gus well, and that he's capable of insane things when those he cares about are put in danger. He's almost trying to tell Gus through his gaze "keep it cool, don't do anything unreasonable". To which Gus violently kills his own employee, the most unreasonable thing to do in that situation.

  • @JABurtin
    @JABurtin 2 месяца назад +247

    The power in Vince Gilligan's work is really about recognizing subtleties that actors bring. Jesse was supposed to die in the first season and Gus was cast in a bit part as a "friendly man who sells chicken". They could have gone merrily on with the original ideas, but wisely rewrote the scripts to fit the actors. Walter needed the father/son dynamic that develops to bring out his character. Jesse is a key part of his legacy. Meanwhile, Giancarlo Esposito brought such a quiet menace to his character that his presence demanded a bigger role.
    There is simply no way to replicate that dynamic. The script followed the cast, so a different cast would require a different story.

    IMO jesse's expression to victor being sliced isn't purely anger but more something along the lines of "ready to fight". It's like ferocity mixed with fear as he watches Gus very carefully.
    It also seems like Walter and Mike "lost their footing" and sense of control whereas Jesse was already indifferent/detached to the whole situation beforehand.
    Jesse's reaction also involves actual mental steps/ reasoning whereas Walter and Mike react out of pure instinct.

      That's what we describe as anger, though. Not just personal disapproval, but also the signalling that you are looking for a confrontation, the challenging look on the face. "Staring daggers at someone", forward posture, textbook angry body language. It's not because Jesse loves confrontation in general, it's a deliberate reaction to the situation.

      ​@@mmeister8582 no offense towards the british one by all means... but it ran for only a couple of episodes until it stopped airing, the Office US on the other hand clearly made its own mark and surpassed the original by far with (really good) character development and story arcs. Kudos to Ricky for coming up with the original idea, which was already cool and all, but it was someone else who took it and made it HUGE.
      Breaking Bad is a totally different story. It was soon regarded as one of the best TV shows ever and it had a tremendous impact. There was zero potential for a remake to begin with.

    I think you're right for the wrong reasons. IMHO when WW says they should be wearing masks he's not doing it to assert dominance or try to normalize the situation. He's saying it because he can't help himself. He's a teacher and chemist at heart, and seeing others putting their health at risk makes him cringe. He qualifies his remark saying he "just wants to go on record" because he knows nobody is going to take his request seriously. It's a moment where you can see a glimpse of his thought process. He's not plotting to escape or begging for his life, he's concerned that the proper safety procedures are not taken seriously.

    I just subscribed after Andy Serkis's analysis, and I have to say... I never imagined you would finish this one with an Argentinian comparison. I'm from Argentina and I loved Okupas, and it's really interesting to compare the two characters. I think you really have a special eye for these things, and like you said, Okupas is more along the lines of showing the marginalized youth in Buenos Aires, and a sharp critique of the social and economic conditions that we had during the early 2000s. It could be really interesting to see another analysis of it from you! Anyways, love the content! Thanks for sharing and keep on working on it!

    The only thing missing was the color red. Idk if that was on purpose and we were just supposed to look at framing and reactions but color is a huge part of Breaking Bad. The other version doesn’t have that. At least from what i could tell its one of the few times that Jesse wears red. Walter is in Blue because well its blue meth. Not sure of the reason of Mikes color.
    I really got into color because of this one analysis of Blade Runner 2049 that explained color and framing really well and I can’t find it anymore. How much care you can tell he puts into those shots. One is when you see K tell a lie in the precinct and sees that is something that he can do.
    Otherwise really great. I learned things from this scene i wouldn’t have otherwise. This is a really good analysis. I was really taking in all you had to say. Thank you so much.

    I think there's another interpretation of the scene where Jesse is staring in anger at Gus. Jesse just got back from killing Gale in cold blood, and has clearly been dissociated up until then, contemplating the weight of his actions. When he sees Gus kill Victor in cold blood, he sees a cold-blooded killing not dissimilar from the cold-blooded killing he just committed hours before. So when he gives Gus a look of hatred and disgust, Jesse's actually projecting his own self-hatred onto Gus because Jesse can't cope with how he just murdered Gale.

    Something to add in the whole analysis of how different each show is, vince has gone on to say that he choses colors in scenes deliberately, in the scene, gus is framed with a deep red, signifying his deep anger, he starts the scene in a dark red, then puts on a bright red hazard suit, he goes from a more subdued anger to a passionate anger. And if you really dont believe thats whats going on, then theres also the fact that walter and mike are both given blue tones, in the reaction shots of victors death, both walter and mike react in a more scared way, where as like op said, jesse is angry, jesse is also wearing a red shirt. Not just as way to show how he now has blood on his hands, but to show hes currently feeling anger. Metastasis seemingly has no use of colors, if you go look up commentary from vince and the crew, he specifically points out his use of colors in the show.

    This is by far your best one. I liked this video so I watched all your others. I found that though they're framed as essays, they end up being more excuses for you to string together a series of observations, which leaves me feeling like I missed the point. Where this video succeeds is that the goal was only ever to reveal how the original version was more effective, to which your observations act as case in point. And the point by point comparison to metastasis helps both in offering an immediacy to your arguments and by providing structure. Really I think this issue wouldn't if your writing was better, maybe there was a bigger point and you either failed to find it yourself or just failed to convince me of it. Either way, I'd stick around to watch more videos like this one, but your others not so much. My advice would be to play to your strengths (which don't seem to include essay writing) and try to define your own voice a little more

    Another thing that breaking bad does is how it uses color in its visual story telling aspect.
    Walter White wears a blue shirt to symbolize the death of Gale, and soon to be the death of Victor, and his coldness to killing Gale, and his attempt to escape his own death.
    Jesse wears red to symbolize he murdered gale, his anger, and aggression towards Gus, and Walter, and to foreshadow Victor's death and also his ties to criminality. Not to mention the entire Meth lab is covered in red, and almost anytime we see it, something goes down in it.
    Mike wears black to symbolize death, meaning that someone will die in this scene and exactly how much power Gus holds.
    Lastly, Gus wears a black suit, with a red shirt and multicolored tie, which symbolizes his anger at Walter, how he's likely planning to kill him, and how powerful and imposing his sheer presence is. This is not only compounded by the idea that _Someone_ in this scene is going to die, but that it's likely Gus will do it.
    Then we see him get into an Orange jumpsuit, which means something _explosive_ is going to happen and its going to be violent, then we see the Green Box cutter, which symbolizes not only walter's greed, but his jealousy of victor and Gale for being able to cook his formula.
    At first glance, this just seems to be a vibrant color palate this show seems to go for, but when you understand what the colors mean, every scene begins to play out differently.
