@@zherean42069 the original comment was not trying to say that a parent dying isn’t painful, just that it’s a different, much tougher feeling to lose a child. Everyone who dies of old age would see their parents die, so having to outlive your child who had so much more time is a very different pain, but both horrible nonetheless
This hits harder when you realise Mike's son has been in a similar situation as Nacho and Mike got revenge on the killers of his son and wants to avenge Nacho in the same way
Facts man well said. It’s heartbreaking because Nacho’s dad is right and Mike knows that. He’s already gotten his revenge but he’s still a broken man :(
This is the typical Mexican immigrant father. Seriously over 59% of them are just like this. They don’t deserve kids like Nacho and Tuco and the Twins. Mexican fathers are great they deserve better than what we give them.
There’s a fine line between justice and revenge at times. Is it just for violent criminals to receive no punishment? Could the government actually convict these men? Some might say it’s just for a murderer to be murdered.
@@icarusfx you could argue that, but in this situation, Nacho was killed because of the criminal line of work he chose for himself. There is no justice in a business built on the idea of evading justice
Because one man wanted revenge and the father was the man Mike could have been. But now he is a frail man hiding under a giant badass coat of armor, hoping to get revenge in the name of justice
And despite the show quite literally ending with Mike being told he's wrong and he's not any better than the likes of Tyrus and Victor, people still praise him as the hero of the BB/BCS universe
Alright you go up to a grieving father and tell him his son got brutally beat up before his death. Mike purposefully lied to bring at least some comfort.
I would so rather get beat up than get tortured by cartel, didn't you see the tools they had in the back of their car when Bolsa was interrogating Nacho?
I mean it’s pretty clear what he meant, he took bruises and shot himself in the head instead of being tortured by the cartel, which would most likely be stuff like being skinned alive. I’d say compared to that, Nacho didn’t even had a scratch on him.
Damn the way the camera shifts to where Mike is now behind the fence. That is top tier cinematography. The audience thought that Nacho's dad was the one who was blindfolded, trapped in his own ignorance. But really it was Mike all along.
The shot with them staring at each other between the fence really shows they’re similarities. They both lost their sons but they reacted to it differently. Mike wants justice but all that does is create more violence however he feels he is doing something about the evil in world. Nachos dad doesn’t want revenge he wants his son to be with him and alive. He is devastated but he doesn’t care at all what happens to the people who caused his sons death. He’s got no fight left in him.
@@mtgspanglish731 and what is that? Not fighting, not getting revenge. He didn’t go to police after nacho died either. He gave the cartel no fight bc he knows there is no light at the end of the tunnel with that path. So I do think the term “no fight left” is correct bc nachos dad doesn’t do anything after his sons death. What do u think fight means?
@@grumpymonkeyenterprises6413 Dude making your name proud...don't be so grumpy. He will fight for a better future, continue his honest job, no dirty money. He lost his son but even that wont affect his moral compass or values. He is fighting, but by staying true to what he believes. Well that's my perception anyway. You can have your and I won't tell you "you are wrong" we just share different perspectives. I'm a former fighter, work security for 6 years, believe me I know the difference between those 2 characters.
Way to tell you didnt understand the shot at all lmao. The scene right after this had nacho’s father walking away as mike stands behind the mesh fence. The show is telling us Mike is forever trapped behind his cycle of revenge and crime. Meanwhile nacho’s dad walked away, free from it all. And it all culminates in mike dying with all the money he left for his granddaughter lost. Its one of the focal points of breaking bad: Crime doesnt pay.
A deep respect to Mike for telling him outright. Like he doesn't want to say it but he would tell him how and what happened if Nacho wanted to know out of respect
What a profound sounding man. To say that no justice can be achieved. He cant be brought back, we cant atone for his mistakes, we cant change the past, only take revenge, and continue the cycle. Poor poor man, it must be awful.
@@maylabrown4584 the correct line is Mimir: Odin will get justice - Kratos: Justice? Justice is not what we seek. What we seek is vengeance... Every path i walk leads to vengeance... Which sounds very similar to what Nacho's dad said.
The scene makes it look like a reflection of both Mike & Nacho father both in different sides of life at a crossroad with their older selves of what could've been if their shoes had been in the other.
Both old men that had lost their sons. But Mike knew he would never be like Nacho's dad. A good guy doing honest business. That's why he said to Jesse that a man could never change in El Camino. Mike was in the game at that point.
Notice how the fence separates them? Mike is vulnerable in the outside world, adapted to changes, but still stuck in the game. Nacho's dad is within the fence. Confined yet safe, but in pain because he lost his only son to the cruel world. No one got a happy ending personally but it was nice seeing them separate each other with just that fence.
Mike Ermintrout was an extraordinary character . Probably one of the realest men you will meet in life if your lucky to come across . Loyal to fring ,didn't kill Walt for his fuck ups Wich was a mistake but he was a great man and a killer at the same time .
Walter White was the Grim Reaper for the Underworld. If it wasn't for him, Gus would have never been able to actually take out the Cartel and the Salamancas. Walter then finishes everything left of the business by killing Gus and then dying himself.
What Manuel Varga says at the end really resonates with Gustavo Frings plan. All this time planning and carefully taking revenge all for it to just blow up on his face in an instant.
Gave it to him straight. Imagine the poor parents who never know. They will always fear the worst yet hold on to a hope they know is a lie. And then thinking of them suffering... Goodness me. Mike did this guy a solid.
Eventually he’d be right igz. The entire cartel was killed but it wasn’t justice to an extent. And even if it was it doesn’t matter. His son is dead. Revenge won’t bring him back.
Nacho was trying to protect his father from evil men. He called him soft but a good man. An honest man, that would do the right thing when confronted by evil. Even now, after his son's death he knows that revenge is a pointless unending cycle. How any you not sacrifice yourself for a loving and wise father. Still, pretty sad.
Sometimes revenge and justice are the same thing. I hate how movies and shows try to sound all high and mighty, like they have some kind of deeper wisdom. Want wisdom? Not all revenge is worth it.. but sometimes it sure as f*ck is
Jesus christ, he was a worried parent through out the series for his son. What killed me was that he was right, this isn't justice. There wasn't even any "justice" :(
Its really sad. Honestly EVERY Mexican American father I've met would do anything to make sure their son is okay. They'd take a bullet for them. And yes every father loves their kids but there's something about the love you can see between a Mexican father and his son.
@@nonyabuissness5128 its more justice then sending them to prison; which does nothing, crimminals operate gangs, you dont kill the snakes head you didnt do shit.
Notice how Mike is in the fenced-in part, symbolizing his need for "justice" is keeping him in the cycle of revenge, but Nacho's dad doesn't yearn for what he realizes is revenge and accepts what has happened, hence why he's not fenced in. He's not trapped in the cycle.
I love these moments in crime focused series where there's this kind of confrontation. We get so used to the power dynamics between the characters that either kill or break the law in various ways that to then snap back to the consequences those actions have on civilians, either literally or figuratively caught in the crossfire, is so bitter, It strips any romanticization away from the roles the characters have gotten themselves in. With Mike we really see him falter both here realizing the idiocy of his "justice", and upon getting rid of the german engineer, where he probably could have spared him, and just pretended to indeed have killed him.
I agree, nacho could have told lalo about Gus' plans, they could've faked lalo's death together, he was too scared for his father but the salmancas could've killed his father for revenge anyway
A parent outliving their child will always be one of the most horrible things a person can go through.
Absolutely. When we lost my brother, the devastation my parents went through is something they never quite recovered from.
A son dying or a parent dying are both horrible things imo
