- 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.
This is the video I've liked the least, so in the next ones, I'll return to shorter and better-produced videos. For now, I prefer quality over duration. I'm just starting with this channel, so I would really appreciate it if you shared and subscribed :)
Dude, that was a great video!
Friend, you’re way too hard on yourself. Your commentary and thoughtfulness was engaging throughout. Definitely earned a sub
@@MichaelBNegron thank you very much for those words
I agree, I felt like I was seeing the same clips over and over with the same points
I actually enjoyed this one! I wouldn't have minded even more honestly.
I think Colombian Walter genuinely has potential in acting. He's just held back by direction
Yeah, he has a very expressive face and often makes similar faces to Cranston. Hearing that they did all of it in 6 months makes a lot of sense, they wouldn't have had time to look into and explore all the little nuances.
He died bro
@@marcowulliampopirers2216 shit did not know that. rest in piece
@@Terlinilia he's not dead
@@oxim0r DAMN Y'all telling me he dead and now he's not dead WHO TF DO I TRUST
6 months to reshoot the entire series??? That speed is insane
Did they need to remake it?
@notquitehim probably not. However, there could have been some legal issues at the time and for one reason or another, it was concluded that re-shooting the entire series was a better choice than simply sub/dubing it. I'm not a Colombian lawyer, so who knows.
Foreign media does this alot. Heck even our own media does it with alot of British shows
Yep, that's how quickly movies and tv series are made in Latinamerica. It's insane and gives terrible results, but this is a consequence of low budgets
Metastasis was Producer by sony
Saul Bueno is genuinely the only guy who did his homework on Metastasis. He plays a good Saul but he also brings his own flair to the character. I wish they were really doing a Cuentele a Saul prequel
They'd probably give it a really bad and overly literal title like Mejor llamar Saulo. Or call the sequel film "The Walk."
Please tell me they didn’t actually name him “Saul Bueno”
@@notquitehim Well unfortunately they did, walter
@@stapleface4147 Gualter Blanco...with his wife Cielo 😂
@@notquitehimthey did. 😂
When Gus comes in it's like your dad walking in when you're in trouble.
...or that split second your heart skips when a cop hits their lights and siren right behind you. 😳
I always hated it when my dad threatend me with a box Cutter 😒
Much more sinister
When Gustavo walks in it's more of a "Are ya winning son?"
@@jackwhite8509 No corporal punishment when you were young?
Can I just say how amazingly awesome it is Metastasis exists? It's the ultimate film theory comparison, even if it's a failure as a show. It's like what you'd call in the gaming world a "demake."
the mere fact that someone decided to adapt an entire show *scene by scene* into a different cultural background is remarkable by itself
I think "weird bootleg copy" is better than "demake" (as far as I know, a demake tries to keep the spirit of the original, while Metastasis changes stuff for no good reason, and feels more like a mockbuster than a genuine adaptation at times)
Ark survival Devolved.
You might find it a fun exercise to watch and compare the original UK IT Crowd to the pilot episode of American IT Crowd as well! It's bizarre
@@vlc-cosplayer Yeah demakes are usually remakes that are made into videogame consoles with bigger technical limitations than the one where the game was originally made for
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.
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.
With all honesty, and giving no sarcasm.. Bravo Vince! ❤😊
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
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.
🗿
@@EverydayLinguisticseyo I remember your channel it was in my feed for a while LMAO
you also missed
- gus appearing from the shadows as devil himself
- the fact he is clearly pissed off but calculating and only directly staring at Walter
- the fact that the scene doesnt show us others for a few secs because like them youre not allowed to break eye contact with gus. he decides when the scene will move on
also,the fact that walter was wearing blue symbolising horror and he was horrified when gus killed victor, while jesse was wearing red symbolising madness and was angry is such a cool detail
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.
i like 14:40 - gus is staring at walter, throws victors body at walter, but the blood drifts towards jesse
@@bryanasher7310 The curtains represent his immense depression and his lack of will to carry on
"The joke is that he doesn't regain absolutely anything."
I've watched Breaking Bad at least 6 times over the past decade and a half, and that very accurately describes most of Walt's story lol
Can't put a price on a good time
@@Smegmadonis $60 if you're in a rather seedy part of Las Vegas and don't mind itching a little.
Ooh thank you for drawing my attention to how angry Jesse looks in this scene. It's something I'd never noticed before but it makes sense cos he's a good hearted man who always balks at needless violence so it totally reads that his response would be rage
Also as we see in the diner he's totally detached from any worry, not really caring what happens now he's crossed a line and killed Gale. So he feels free to confront Gus with pure hatred, no more hesistation left.
Good hearted?why is eveyone acting like jesse is a christian church going family man who donates half his income to charity?he is a drug producer/dealer and did so many bad things during the series,not saying he is completely evil but definetely not someone i would consider good
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.
@@marcowulliampopirers2216 compared to the likes of Walter and gus, he may as well be lol
@@marcowulliampopirers2216as commander Benjamin Sisko says: "it's easy to be good while living in paradise."
aaron’s sadness in jesse is beautiful
There’s something kind of timeless and elegant in it
@@soulknight5330 How so?
@@The_Alpha_E in the way that never does he perform him as nothing more than a crybaby and his pain is deeply relatable, that’s why I say timeless because I believe people will relate to him for years to come.
@@soulknight5330 the shit he goes through isn't relatable to me me but I think anyone can clearly understand why he's so sad
@@sinia556 that’s what I meant
this is probably the first time i'm hearing about "illustrative vs. cinematic language". you made me realize just how much thought and passion was put into this show. i think that in just 16 minutes of watching, my media literacy has improved a bit. i hope you make more videos like this!
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 try 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.
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.
finally an essayist truly grasping why Victor was killed. this is a great analysis. I subbed.
thank you
Art is subjective
@@barbariangamin5136 I think they're referring to the authors intention, as well as what the cinematography most naturally lead to. Also art is hugely normative, with subjective and objective elements.
@@barbariangamin5136 So is wealth and yet you're still broke.
@@psychopompous489 But objectivity in itself, is subjective
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.
i watched this expecting it to be from a channel with a couple thousand subs and i was extremely surprised to see how underrated your channel is dude amazing stuff
thanks dude, means a lot
I didn't even notice this was a newer channel until I saw this comment, the quality is way too good to be from a channel with 100 subs lol
For real. I feel like I learned something. Sub earned.
@@lancelloti. he's right, I keep finding hidden gems lately, like another good one with only 800 subs. god speed
seriously, I just subscribed and I'm proud to be one of the first 1000 to be here, this content has potential for millions of views, and I'm excited to see this man's channel grow
Loved the anaysis of the power dynamic within both scenes, really adds to outlning why the tones are so different, really engaging video man
thanks a lot, man, really appreciate it coming from someone like you!
How to ruin a scene? Lower budgeting clearly
Hell no. Give the folks that made BB the budget of Metastasis and they'll make something leagues better than it.
Did you even watch the video???
And talent
You compleately missed the point of the whole video
Wish youtube deleted moronic comments like this.
Well as far as Jesse goes maybe Gale is on his mind but I get more of a sense that he thinks he is going to die and his last hour of life is spent sitting next to the guy that ruined his life and he won't stf up to boot. It's the feeling I get when I get stuck with a coworker I can't stand or when I was young and got in trouble and the punishment is soon to come. I just want to shell up and get it over with.
8:26 I know this is most likely an accidental but I like to think there's symbolism in that shot. Specifically at the end of the shot Gus' head covers a gap between two steel beams in the background, possibly symbolising that Gus is what holds everything together or that he's arrived to patch a fresh hole in his plans to replace Walter.
I really like this observation. I never try to read so much into a particular moment, mainly to avoid a "Bravo Vince", but that's a very good explanation for that placement.
This is by far the best explanation of everything that happens here, including why Victor behaves the way he does and why that leads to his death. Thanks!
Thanks to you!
Easily subscribing after this video. This is the kind of in-depth analysis I've been looking for on RUclips.
thanks! More are coming soon
I love videos that explore some of the more forgotten pieces of dialogue because they really show how much thought and care was placed into every second of this show.
I follow a good amount of movie review/film-analyzing channels and I must say, this channel is a GEM. This is by far the most educational. Your absorption and understanding of the multifaceted art of filming is so educational and well articulated. And your passion for this niche is contagious. Please keep it up and you'll be big
Thank you very much, it's very comforting to read these words. More videos are coming, so I hope not to disappoint
Really good video. It's incredible how an actors delivery could have the littlest change, but could actually be the biggest difference for the tonality and context of the situation.
Idk why is it necessary to re-do the series when you can just dub everything (which is already done), IMO its a waste of time
Awesome video. Fascinating how the small decisions can make such a huge difference (and how the small decisions are actually not small at all!)
I remember the first time I saw this scene, the moment that terrified me was when Mike reactively pointed his gun at Gus. Mike is so capable and trusted by the audience, that for him to be surprised and threatened.
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.
It's crazy the amount of thought that goes into absolutely everything. This video does a great job at showing just how genius Breaking Bad was about not just getting the little details right, but also going above and beyond to get things like the framing right, the subtle camera tricks that enhance the scene, and even music or a lack of music to emphasize important elements.
I like your video essay take and editing in this video. There's a lot of talking, but it's captivating.
It was great to see such a deep take on this scene; comparing it with the Latin American version really shows how remarkable the series was. I never even knew there was a remake before watching this video. I like cinema, movies, and TV shows, and I definitely need more in-depth video essays like this.
ElCarbon is that you?
pense lo mismo ademas ya no encuentro el mismo video
That intro is a verbatim translation of that video’s intro.
@@quantumrevolverJusto eso acabo de ver

si es el mismo, tal vez hizo este canal para que le deje mas ganancias ya que en ingles deja mas dinero
the metastasis throat-slitting scene felt like an eric andre bit
Dude I’d assumed when I watched this this’d be like a bigger channel with like a few dozen thousand subs I cannot believe you’ve only got five hundred something, phenomenal quality and analysis for a smaller creator.
Thank you bro!
anyone else notice at 14:42 you can see victors blood spurt out to the side but in the next shot its in a perfect puddle
I think they changed it because look where the direction of the blood goes to. Jesse. It might have been changed so the visual thought process is that the blood is literally on walter who is responsible for this.
this is such a great video i did not see any of these details at first or completely forgot about them, great work
WOAH this video blew me away this is some high quality content I for sure subscribed
IS THIS ELCARBÓN?!?!
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.
Wow great analysis jeez i am shocked at how underrated your channel is
Brilliant, insightful, clear analysis. Well done. 👏🏼
Honestly, such a great video! Very well edited and you got your points across well too. I hadn't even heard of this adaptation but your thumbnail and video presentation skills got me interested enough to watch all the way through :) Keep up the great work! (And it is great!)
Thank You so much
I really enjoyed this assessment and comparison. Both in how it allowed me to understand more closely how the original show achieved such a visceral authenticity in these moments, and how it can be completely missed if not approached in the correct manner. Really interesting video thanks for creating it
13:45 my favorite moment in the series. Defines all three characters in the scene in less than 30 seconds literally perfectly.
Despite how recently this video was made, I'm quite positive that it will gain a decent amount of views due to it's quality. Bravo.
Very well written, your channel deserves more attention
Please do more like this! Fantastic analysis
I don't think I've ever subbed so fast to a channel! This was an amazing, well thought out introspective take! I truly appreciate the time you put into this! Looking forward to more! 👏👏👏
thank you! just uploeaded a new video today :)
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!
Would love a video more in depth about Okupas, and also its inspiration, the movie Pizza,Birra,Faso. Loved the vid, keep up the good work!
this was extremely well done man. Good work!
The Okupas reference was a surprise, but a welcome one. I'd definitely love to see a video on it! (El Marginal could be a good pick too, in a similar vein)
I think the most brutal part is how victor tries to turn toward the cut, either to bite gus or simply slow the bleeding by closing the wound, but Gus just grabs his head again and forces the wound open. Getting blood everywhere.
very well produced video, and a great analysis
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.
I think I found the meat of the issue: it's a foreign knockoff.
Literal fucking racism but ok
usted no eres elCarbon?
Seeing Okupas at the end was a shock. It's definitely one of the best series I've ever seen, it gets you hooked from the first second to the last. I seriously hope you make a video about it. It really is a masterpiece, but unfortunately it never was massive outside Argentina and a couple of countries in SA. It's quite possibly my favorite series ever, along of course BB.
Mikes gun says a lot on its own. He never draws on Walt through the entire series because he never sees Walt as a real threat. In metastasis he's holding a gun on Walt, in BB he's holding a cup of coffee and couldn't be more relaxed.
this channel is so underrated I recommend that you make a video on La Haine, such a great film
Knew you'd start doing amazing bro keep up the good work 🙏
thanks for your constant support man 🫂
Agree with these other comments, was lucky to find this quality analysis on my recommended. Great video man
Thank you :')
Eres ElCarbón con otro canal o...?
Really great. Learned a lot. A lot of depth here in the Breaking Bad show and the analysis!
you're amazing, watching every one of your videos rn
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
English isn't even my native language, so I suppose I'll have language deficiencies. That said, speaking of writing, you wrote a lot to say very little.
The world can never have enough well crafted Breaking Bad youtube videos!
good analysis, I would like to see a lot of these
thank you! more videos are coming
@@lancelloti. you got yourself a fan buddy!
It's a bad adaptation but I'm kinda glad it exists because it's a study on how much the director and line delivery matters.
Yeah exactly. Bad things indeed serve to enhance the good.
That was really good ! Worthy of a lot more than 2k subscribers !!
yo at first, i only want to watch a bit of this video but you made me sit throught the whole 16mins of explaining this short scenes. amazng
cool video on a great scene! and you didn't even talk about the lighting and its effects on gus's presence(always with light in his back, or how him putting on the red suit and directly mirroring jesse's murder and staring him in the eye... kinda showing jesse what he is.
that's true, or even the clothes of Walter (blue=fear) and Jesse (raw)
The use of color in BB/BCS has always had me in complete awe. 👏🎨
I'm so happy I stumbled upon you....this was really well done, and yes, you explained your points very well.... I'm heading down your rabbit hole now 👋
thank you! just uploeaded a new video today :)
fantastic video, subscribed. how you dont have more views is beyond me
thank you bro! let's hope that changes soon :)
The adaptation Just can't work anyway, especially as a shot for shot remake, because part of the Breaking Bad world is the setting.
The series is partly about the relationship between the US and Mexico, on the border.
The fact that Walt is based in America matters to the story a great deal.
METÁSTASISSSS that's a throwback for me, I used to watch it just to see how it compared to BrBa and well, this vid sums it up well lol. U just got a new subscriber! Keep it up man, well done 👍
You got my sub. I dont usually sub to small channels but this vid was really well made. Looking forward to more vids
Thank you so much. More videos are coming soon!
So a high budge production with more time to get it done is better than way lower budged and no time? Damn bro loving the analytics going on
Great analysis, this makes me want to watch breaking bad again. I never really picked up on the subtleties of who is trying to achieve power, though that is the whole point of Walter's ambition, trying to establish himself as the only suitable cook for the cartel
"And Mike... Mike is still Mike" truly a Mike moment
Great comparison and analysis! I wasn't really aware of this Colombian version and that it tells the exact same story. But it's extremely interesting to see, what nuances and directing decisions are at play to make something a masterpiece versus some average daily soap
I only want to add that "Metástasis" is an incredibly good title for the show
great analysis! subscribed
Thank god there's an analysis of this show that's respectful and deep now.
i tought this was a video from a 100k+ subs channell you deserve more
Thank you bro!
This type of solution happens in the storyboard part, the storyboard artist is the first director of a scene so that the director on set can be as creative as possible
Such a random video I have stumbled upon, but I couldn´t agree more with everything you mentioned.
Great material you got my sub.
cheers bro! really grateful
What a video, you explained with genius why I just felt metastasis felt off
bro what is this quality😭😭😭 u are too good to only have a few subs
thank you :) let's hope that changes soon!
You have a great voice pal, keep it up!
this is a great breakdown. i live in ABQ and love film and BB. this vid got you a sub
Another great video. I would describe Jessie's reaction as contemptuous. He is fearful, but his feelings for Walter, Gus, and himself amount to a contempt for the situation as a whole, for the necessity of violence.
I'm just starting to see this video. But I wanted to say that this looks like you translated to english a (now deleted) video from an hispanic youtuber called "ElCarbón",, it's not really that bad and since his channel was hacked and his video deleted this is the only way I can see the video now.
also ElCarbón has another video (in spanish) in wich he does an essay about other scene (the one where walt talks about the airplane crash in the school) if anyone is interested (or if u are gonna also translate that one),,

Es raro que haya deslistado el video, además en la miniatura de este canal se le ve un rostro similar. La voz y edición definitivamente son por IA. Hay muchos canales de análisis de peliculas que plagian otros videos y tienen este tipo de edición que añaden palabras en la pantalla y filtros de luces para hacer el plagio menos evidente.
No estoy seguro si le están robando el contenido a elCarbón pasándolo por IAs de plagio o él quiere farmearse $$$ de audiencia angloparlante con una edición rápida.
@@Leogrooo damnnn,, gracias por encontrar el video
@@Leogrooo Bro, este canal es de ElCarbón, no tengo pruebas pero tampoco dudas
Were you elCarbon?
Was wondering the same. It's the same video but traslated
4:07 I AM THE ONE WHO KNOWS
The scene at 9:27 gives the feeling that Mike is in the same position as Walter and Jesse, almost as concerned as them. For me it emphasizes that everybody is afraid of Gus no matter which side you are on, making him even more terrifying.
It could also explain why Mike take out his gun instinctively, he could have been scared for his life even before Gus kills his associate.
holy shit man this video is INCREDIBLE! you earned my sub
thanks, man! means a bunch
How tf do you have so few followers. The video is of great quality.
I learned a lot and the idea to compare the two was great. From acting to editing it was really inspiring to see how "small" decisions create drastically different results.
I think by showing this you kinda solve the problem we have with film analysis. It's often bloated and overcomplicated. The person who does the analyzing is often times grasping for straws and it feels like justifying things after the fact just for d*ck riding a director they love.
But here, you literally show what happens if you don't, as a director, over analyse your shots. It makes those editing and acting choices real.
You just made my Saturday brighter. Greetings and thank you very much for those words, welcome to the channel, and I hope the rest of the videos live up to your expectations
Jesse is also out of focus in most of the shots of Walter talking to him, as if he's not there.
When Victor is killed it's the second time he's actually in focus next to Walter.
Note that Victor is ALSO out of focus while next to gus, until he's alone in the frame right before his death.
They both come into focus while next to their respective bosses, as if they are on the same level.
The actors treat his neck being slashed as if a gun is fired. They all jump and then flinch away.
Incredible content friend. Please make more
Thank you, bro! More videos are coming soon!
