How the Breaking Bad finale lied to you (and why you were so easily fooled)
Yes, the show always showed what happened in the physical world. We had no dream sequences, character fantasies or explicitly illustrated state of minds like Six Feet Under. HOWEVER, this episode broke one of its major taboos. It showed Jesse in a state of euphoria in a dream like sequence, building a box that he had traded in for some weed. We never go into character's mindset. NEVER. Everything we learned about Walt and Jesse were from their reactions to reality. So for this to happen was pretty strange and it reflected Jesse's escapist nature and the times he lived that he never appreciated. I feel like that was a little hint at the idea that reality can be questioned in the finale of Breaking Bad. It could be a reflection of Walter's innermost desire and his perception of how he wants to be viewed. While Jesse's fantasy was very bright to resemble a folger's commercial, Walt's seemed to be very gritty and dark, possibly used to reflect the mindset of who each person wish they could be. You could say the box is Jesse's Felina, only he traded it for weed. Walt's Felina could be said to be his family that he traded for a life of crime. Or could it be the life of crime that he traded out just to live safely in New Hampshire Another thing and this is stretching it. If that were true, then the finale is a resemblance of Brazil which is listed as a prime example of Kafkaesque film literature. Kafkaesque is the title episode for when Jesse makes that confession of the box. I'm not sure if its Gilligan's intention, but I greatly appreciate this theory as opposed to reality. The deciphering of this clue, rejuvenated my love of this show.— October 2, 2013 11:56 p.m.
