Watching BrBa just felt like a dance with someone else where you both knows the steps (of filmmaking) but they were leading, and you can follow along
It's still new and fun, but you have that solid basis there to feel comfortable understanding

Often when I'm watching shows now, I feel very unsatisfied and distrustful because the writers often write things like they're trying to subvert every trope
Like oh okay yeah i'd never have guessed [unexpected thing] would happen because it's STUPID

I never felt like the writers were trying to "trick me" when they did a mysterious cold open, it just made me very intrigued, and I had trust built up from knowing they HAD A PLAN for each season, an arc that made sense plot wise AND thematically

I would say something to my husband like "ohhh that scene is framed the same way as this other scene from the start of the ep!"
then I would listen to the commentary after and Vince Fuckin Gilligan would be like "Yeah we specifically wanted to mirror that scene from earlier"

As a viewer it was profoundly satisfying, because it felt like I was watching something that was a conversation with the viewer, and those things were INTENDED and made sense in the end

I think one of the most satisfying parts of watching BrBa was that Vince Gilligan and the team he assembled are all adept at using cinematic language and writing tools like foreshadowing, mirroring, subtext, allusions, etc etc etc and then having it PAY OFF

The scene where Walt talks to Jesse is literally so intense that afterwards, Anna Gunn is visibly crying
At a TABLE READ

Holy shit I watched the extra that’s just a table read of s5e9 Blood Money
And my GOD Aaron Paul is a phenomenal actor
I’ve never seen an actor go THIS hard at a table read, this is practically just a rehearsal

And this will sound silly maybe, but they DEFINITELY waited much too long to do it
Those actors had a real "Grease" situation LOL
I understand the desire ppl would have had for a 10 year reunion, but as a new fan watching this, it felt pretty tacked on

Overall, I liked the movie okay, but it definitely felt uneccessary?
Not as amazing as BrBa, a lot of stuff felt like obvious things one would assume from the finale?

Forgot to say, I liked how Jesse blwoing up the welding place was SUCH a Walt plan
Like the whole thing, every one of Jesse's tactics in this movie was like shit Walt would do
He really is living on in Jesse

Jesse still didn't shoot until the guy ACTUALLY went for his gun
So like.... not exactly self defense, but not as bad as just walking in and shooting him i guess?

"Like the Wild West?"
