Agreed. Easily the best tv show ive ever watched. As Aaron Paul says, I love it when I mention the show and someone says they havnt watched it. Makes me feel like im giving them a million dollars when I say WTF??? Watch it now haha
You should watch Fringe up to the end of season five and see how brilliantly John Noble showed the entire world how much a father can love his son. I have absolutely nothing against Breaking Bad, I really LOVED every last bit of it. I was dramatically hooked by it. But Fringe made me cry much, MUCH more. If you missed out on it you should totally give it a try :)
Cheers.. I watched season 1&2 of fringe n loved it but have kinda forgotten about it. On homeland atm which is intense but ill give fringe a good go again. Ty for the heads up !
Bryan is a genius. Not only can he intelligently explain his reasoning for developing his character, he is convey it with his body and let you know he's serious in making Walter a real person with feelings.
ChumpyChicken2 he was great in the WTF podcast with Marc Maron. He talks about him and his bro riding bikes across country and getting odd jobs along the way. And being questioned in a murder at a restaurant he worked at in Florida. He is a great story teller.
Damn, I hope i could talk like Bryan one day. His voice has such a presence. I automatically listen when he opens his mouth. Every time he talks feels like a line delivery. Such an elegant person.
I love how Bryan describes his realisation of Walt's depression! It just gives me chills. I don't know if I'm the only one, who thinks like that but I feel so much empathy for Walt in the series. He is kind of his own victim and he pulls everyone else with him, although no one is deep down as destroyed as him. He's dead inside at a very early stage of the show. From then on he's just Heisenberg masking himself with Walter White but Walter White is just dead. He did not kill himself, he's just dead...
Yessss. In the final episode Walter confesses to Skyler that he did it for himself because it made him feel alive, so your comment is spot on. The series is very dark because it's basically a man of the highest potential possible (a genius scientist) who never got to manifest none of it. He is ignored and mocked by his students, his son is oblivious to him and is a fan of his brother in law who makes fun of him in front of his family and we see he doesn't feel right. In the first season, Walter struggling endlessly with the decision to kill the bad guy, it's horrible. Then the awful and disgusting way they got rid of the body… good lord. It's such a dark show. Also it's dark in how Walter never improves morally, it's just continuous degradation. At points I almost gave up watching.
Damn, I love this comment. Just watched breaking bad for the 2nd time (& it's been 6 years since I watched it the 1st time). Now that I'm almost 30 Walters character at the beginning I could empathize with so much more & truly see the sad darkness of his life. I also could see the true terrible decisions he made with more clarity. Overall depression & death of Walter white makes so much sense. This comment just really explains it perfectly.
AMML I just binged the show during quarantine (I’m surprised myself-but I was of the mind that Bryan couldn’t pull off the role realistically. I knew him as Hal lmfao. So I put it off for years. I was laughably wrong lol.) Anyways you and OP are right on the money. And I had the same feelings in regards to Walt throughout the series. I pitied him and just wished his life and relationships weren’t completely irrevocably destroyed. By the choices he made brazenly. And I’m glad Bryan mentioned S1 pre-Jesse team up Walt as someone living life through the mental fog that is depression. It completely gives explanation to later his actions. Of course it absolutely does not excuse his immoral actions but it does inform why he made certain choices. And how his mind settled on staying in the business beyond the 737 goal. Also I think this theory (of Walt being majorly depressed) is supported by Walt plainly having suicidal ideation. Talking about the perfect time to die and the one moment he almost got into a collision with a car. Adding on, Mike’s comment about Walter being a ticking time bomb was just the perfect metaphor for Walt. Ofc at that point in the series it more directly signaled the new Walt/Hesinburg hybrid that was far gone from being able to listen to a grounded still morally responsive Jesse. And overall signaled Walt would be the demise of Jesse. But at least in the ground scheme of things Walt was a ticking time bomb-and I say this not in reference to whether Walt was going to be bad inevitably. But more so that without the diagnosis I don’t think he would’ve held on much longer. Especially if he felt like his family didn’t need him any longer. But they did because they faced an onslaught of debts and upcoming expenses. Cancer was yet another thing out of his control but cooking meth (being important/powerful because of it, his creation being deemed highly) + easing his family’s financial troubles (originally) was something in his control. Lol sorry for the weird Walter White character analysis. I definitely agree with y’all.
^ I didn't read that whole wall of text but I agree with not believing Bryan could pull off this role believably after knowing him as Hal for so long. He definitely surprised us big time.
I also have a lot of empathy for Walter, I very recently finished the series and watching interviews and reading comments I quickly realized there are not a lot who do. I can't call Walter a good guy, but I can't call him an evil guy either. I just can imagine a version of him who could have avoided all of the biggest mistakes that make him unredeemable, and it wouldn't be too far from the version of him who does.
absolutely....you know the plan Vince had at first was to have Jesse killed off at the end of S1 and have Walter get revenge for his death during S2. But Aaron was SO fucking good that Vince said, No, we have to keep this guy. He's amazing. I think he definitely made the right move. You?
Wow, is that true? ... Honestly, I think the show would’ve been run of the mill without him. Personally, I think I liked Bryan Cranston’s performance a bit more, but if Jessie had been killed off in season 1... I dunno... I think the show would’ve been mediocre at best, mostly because he plays an incredibly important story telling role. Breaking bad is quite literally a case study in very specific uses of writing techniques. Take, for example, Walter White. He is an old and incredibly smart chemistry teacher, really vanilla, not the sort of guy you’d expect to be a drug lord. Within a couple episodes, he becomes one of the most juxtaposed characters I have ever seen, which is one of the reasons he’s so interesting to watch. Jessie by comparison is kind of a nothing character, just some teen junkie. But that’s WHY he’s important, he immediately becomes a foil for Walter White. You’d expect some junkie to be interested in peddling drugs, not so much Walter. He’s also kind of a dumbass who didn’t do so well in school. These utterly contrasting character traits lead to interesting dialogue between the two. Had he been killed off in the first season... We’d lose that foil. And really what makes the show one of the BEST in my opinion comes down to character growth. Almost every character has some sort of growth they go through, but ultimately, Walter and Jessie are the two character’s you’re most interested in. What is striking about the show is that, who you’ve been following this entire time as the “good guy” really isn’t. Walter White goes through a negative growth I’ve not seen very often in shows or movies. He falls into a downward spiral of ever more violent and toxic behavior, going from a loving father and husband to a complete psychopath. By the end of the show, you’re not rooting for the guy... Rather, you kinda hate his ass, and wonder where he went wrong. Jessie, on the other hand, who ISN’T the main character, has an incredible positive growth. He goes from being some dumb junkie nobody to someone who’s grown in intelligence and maturity. He’s someone who grows a heart for certain people you didn’t expect to see there. You watch him struggle to kick addiction, and try to find a way out of the system he’s gotten himself stuck in. He’s truly trying to reform himself. He’s basically the secret protagonist. You wouldn’t know it from season one, but HE’S the one you care about and are rooting for at the end of the show. The complete and total role reversal and mirrored growth of the 2 main characters is a source of amazing writing. I thought it was all planned out from the beginning. How could it not be if it works so well and so flawlessly? So I’m literally astonished that all that was never supposed to happen and Jessie was supposed to die in season one... Really says volumes about the actor, that he can literally steal the spotlight like that, espescially from a guy like Bryan Cranston, who ALSO pulled an amazing performance out of his ass... Seriously, never expected the freaking dad from malcom in the middle to do so well in a serious role.
@@jamesontaylor8630 to think that would have killed him. i’m personally a believer that jesse is the real main character, so the fact he was going to be killed off so soon is surprising. id love to see the original story board for breaking bad
It is so interesting and endearing how whenever given credit or a compliment, Aaron Paul always makes it a point to lift up and talk about his colleagues, cast-mates, crew, writers, directors with gratitude, respect and awe. This kind of humility and sense of community is truly aspirational.
What's wild about Bryan's acting is that, he seems like a totally different person up there but Aaron seems like Jesse. I'm not putting Aaron's acting down I think his acting is phenomenal. But just really shows how amazing Bryan is and how well he gets into character. What a master actor.
Can put yo bitch down Lol! The guy grabs your heart as he shows how caring he is for children being killed, his girlfriend, partner’s trust. So awesome these two! Loved it all!
Shreddie Herger I think it also has something to do with Aaron Paul liking to become the characters he plays, he used to go out at night as ‘Jessie’ if you like a hang out with crackheads and chainsmoke with them, I don’t think either of them are better or worse than eachother, they’re both just very different styles of getting into the characters, both phenomenal actors.
Shreddie Herger Bryan Cranston is a very versatile actor. When u see Bryan Cranston in character, u see his character, not Bryan Cranston. Aaron Paul likewise is a terrific actor but like u said, I see a lot of Jesse in him, which isn’t at all a bad thing but u don’t really see much of a transformation like u would with Bryan Cranston.
I watched one of the table reads (where the actors rehearse the script, sitting at a table) and Aaron Paul’s reading for this very emotional scene where he was crying was so damn good that he was making some of the rest of the crew literally cry
His delivery was almost as hilarious as a Michael Scott from the voice funny but so genuine to the character that it didnt feel like the show was forcing a laugh .
I have never in my life felt so desperate to see the next episode of a show, I only started watching 3 weeks ago and I sat up till 3-4am every night, and never have I been so emotional when a show ended. This is truely some amazing writing, how they make you continue to like Walter even after he becomes such a bad guy and you should clearly hate him.
+Russ Michaels I never watched the show when they were first aired. I binge-watched it - rather easily, of course - on Netflix, so I'd go straight from the final episode of a given season to the first episode of the next season. As you said, I can't imagine waiting a full year between seasons
+Russ Michaels Man I can relate to you,I also used to watch this show from 1-4 am for like 2 weeks and still feel bad about why and how the show ended.
+Russ Michaels --Dont feel bad Russ. I binge watched the Whole show, all 5 seasons in 6 days and as it was a blast & phenom., the problem is that after 3 or 4 mo's I don't remember a lot about what happened (All the intracacies and theres a zillion of them!) ...so I have to watch it again...Take my time and enjoy and remember a lot more!! Really Loved it! Best thing TV has ever offered us! What acting and storylines! Defin. a Dramedy too! They could'a went on for 15 more yrs easily they had so many 100's of Millions hooked!" Tough for the writers to keep up + keep it interesting!"
Mike Bready ive seen the entire series 8 times and the 2nd and 3rd time around were the best. the moments where you realize that you could watch this show repeatedly and find things you didnt notice before or extrapolate new meanings from things or notice foreshadowing you didnt see before for some reason, the 2nd and 3rd time watching it is much more emotional
I binge watched the whole series in about a week during a school break. It's like I couldn't stop: I was captivated. Great show, one of the best I've seen.
I swear, every thought he described regarding letting Jane die, I went through all of the same thoughts in exactly that sequence. Ultimately, I've always justified it in my own mind that it was his genuine love for Jesse.
I thought that too. I also thought it was understandable why WW hesitated in saving Jane. He knew on some level she or both she and Jesse were headed toward inevitable death not to mention she would've continued to blackmail Walt. WW did not cause her death. And I don't feel that his inaction meant WW was dark or evil in that scene.
@@AliciaM5555 Exactly, she was going to destroy Jesse and Walt, she got him hooked and had to go. For me it was not until Mike that I stopped rooting for Walt.
Koubiak Lets do some maths (math if you're from the us) Highest Pixel count: 640 x 360 = 230400 pixels per frame Per one second: 230400 * 30 = 6912000 pixels per second Pixels for this video is: 3238 seconds * 6912000 = 22,381,056,000 So i don't understand where you would have lost the 22,381,055,997 dollars from.
Does the man interviewing remind anyone else of the character Gale Boetticher? He looks a little like the actor and he is similarly nerdy! Even his voice and the way he speaks reminds me of Gale! I like him.
I’m 13 years late but wow this show is such a masterpiece it will forever be held near and dear to my heart and I can’t wait to watch it again sometime. I’m 15 so thankfully I’ve got plenty of time to forget what happened and watch it in a new light
One of my daughters went to school with him when they were young. She said he was funny then , and one of the nicest people she knew. I met him and his wife in Macy's a few years ago and they are both very nice people indeed. It was a pleasure .
What a difference an interview makes when the interviewer is not only professional but invested. Love the responses from all three of these brilliant people.
+StCShortFilms Yeah, it must have freaked him out to have had to act that -- murdering an essentially harmless person (except he was cooking meth to sell to messed up people) in cold blood. Must've left a mark!
It's 3:30a.m. and I JUST finished watching the Finale, I'm so sad! Bryan Cranston is Amazing, but I think Aaron Paul doesn't get enough credit! He had barely any acting experience, and KILLED it!!! Sigh, now what do I do?? Eh, start over! :-)
Mindy... I just finished binge watching the series again... for the 3rd time... and i totally agree with you regarding Aaron Paul. To me, although Cranston was amazing, Aaron turned in the performance of the whole show. He was the only character that instilled in me so many different emotions throughout. I couldn't stand him, I felt bad for him, I felt elation for him etc... superb performance.
everybody says Aaron Paul made bb so great...he did ofc, but i was so mad at the character Jessi Pinkman. I was thinking; just shut up Jessi, shut up and listen to the master mind Walter White who got fucked by some nerdy dumbo ears who stole his girl and Grey matter company.
As Aaron says, some people were just dragged by other people who just happened to watch a few episodes. I'm one of them. The idea sounded interesting, no more, no less. Then you watch the show and follow the story and it definitely becomes one of the best things ever made for a screen. It will be really hard to watch a new series after that. I got spoiled by Breaking Bad, now my expectations are too high. Thanks and fuck you come to mind when i think of this. Mind blowing show
+Calagamberr0 Have you invested some time into the TV series Ray Donovan? It is not Breaking Bad, but it is quite compelling and I can't wait to see Season 3. That said we're starting to watch Better Call Saul, tonight :) We'll get some BB doses so to ease the withdrawal.
3:03 12:43 15:30 this was the moment Bryan Cranston became Heisenberg. 31:21 that smug look 31:57 36:01 36:45 he is literally jesse pinkman i can't 😭 37:26 38:08 Aaron is like the embarrassed son 41:08 42:01 43:08 i love Bryan 46:39 i love Bryan x2 48:49 51:30 their endless support for each other is so wholesome 😭😭 54:21
I just finished watching the end of Breaking Bad last week and loved it. 10 minutes later, I tried to watch "Sons of Anarchy" from beginning and I just couldn't do it. Nothing else compared. I ended up a few days later watching Breaking Bad from beginning again. How anyone done this??
I did that with better call Saul when it first came out in 2015. I couldn’t get into it and just started breaking bad again because I missed it so much. I now am all caught up on better call Saul and I’m glad I gave it another chance. Vince gilligan is a genius
Robert De la Crica old ass comment i know, but I’ve been a die-hard Sons of Anarchy fan and I’ve watched it front to back many times in fact I’ve ended it and instantly restarted it. HUGE fan of SOA. But one time after i watched it to the end i went “what now” like i usually do after i finish a book or finish watching a series and i saw breaking bad. I’ve heard about it so i decided to give it a chance. After watching breaking bad i tried to go back to sons but it just doesn’t compare at all. I was completely mind blown and i guess you can say now my standards are set so high that it’s like everything else is just gonna suck. I started watching Better Call Saul on Netflix and even that I’m kind of like “ehhh” but I’m bearing with it
This guy is a very good interviewer. Interviewers have it tough because I feel like they are only noticed when they perform poorly. I just wanted to give the interviewer some credit for once
This is actually more insightful than most interview with the two. Like he said, a very broad question at the end turned out to be so inquisitive to how Bryan Cranston prepared for W.W. - priceless. So good.
After re-binging the show I wanted to watch some interviews and was really entertained by all of the great members. Then Bryan said tha Walter was "invisible to himself and the society" and I broke out in tears. Even today, almost 8 years after the final episode, this show let's me feel the whole emotional bandwidth.
Cranston reminds me of Ned Flanders when he's wearing the moustache.. So if ever they make The Simpson's into a live action feature length movie. Cranston is Ned Flanders..
The script, the characters, and The title 'Breaking Bad.' That title covers so much (vast,) about the storyline, and the characters, (and even the product.) Will any series ever even match this masterpiece of film 🎭
Vince Gilligan is a genius and THE WHOLE CAST? Kudos to the brainiac eho cast them. I also stayed awake for 3 days watching the whole series. as I didn't Start watching until the 3rd to last episode. I sobbed when they played Baby Blue.
OMG, Beckey, ME TOO. I not only sobbed at the ending...more about not WANTING BB to end...but I couldn't sleep that night with that song playing in my head.
The first thing I did was grab my guitar and try to learn it. Unfortunately due to my rheumatoid Arthritis I am no longer able to play like I used to :(
Oh gosh towards the end of Breaking Bad I felt so bad for the character I was kinda hoping for a mercy kill cause he was just broken by the end. Walt really took everything good in Jesse's life and just completely stomped on it.
Often the writers of something so epic will phone in the last episode; they have nothing further to prove...That's what separates Vince G. from many of the normal TV writers...The last episode was Perfect! As great an ending as any in the history of series shows!
I think Breaking Bad constantly brings about the considerable shiver each time we think deeply of the spectrum of this show because we are ALL Walter White in a certain way : most of the times we are frightened by the radical choices we could make, this huge terror to burst into ourselves, this '' something else '' malefic, fascinating, warm, complete that we'll never be ready to face because we don't even try to open the breach... Like Walter White at the very beginning many people outside undergo, resigned, restricted in fear
So far this is the best tv show ever made and it has put these amazing actors like Bryan and Aaron into the "A" list. Also the people who do the casting are just as talented, to be able to find the perfect Walt or the perfect Jesse, to me is amazing, I'm so glad they gave Bryan and Aaron a chance to make there mark in so far the greatest tv show, it just wouldn't have been the same with other actors
So Tuco was to inintially kill Jesse? Makes sense. It was unlikely he would've gotten alive out of that initial meeting with tuco in a real life situation.
I watched the last episode yesterday... can't believe it's over :( This interview is great! I like the interviewer, he's calm and knows what he's talking about. Bryan,Aaron and Vince are very smart, humble and brilliant men. I could listen to them talk for hours. They have just put in so much effort in this awesome show and they're really proud of it. I love how modest Aaron becomes when he's asked what he did to bring Jesse to life on screen.. Bryan's "Oh he is just modest" was so cute. They're truly wonderful people and they've made the show what it is. I loved it and I will dearly miss it. I also love Aaron's sweater ,grey looks good on him.
Believe it or not, I had not even heard of the show until the summer of 2016. I had almost completely stopped watching TV for several years due to being so busy in the military and some family issues for a few years, as well as work after I exited the military. When life finally settled down and I subscribed to Netflix in 2016 I was sitting around one evening and trying to find a good show to fall asleep to and came across Breaking Bad. From the first 30 seconds I was addicted and I most definitely didn't fall asleep. I ended up getting my girlfriend, mom, dad, step-mom, and a couple of friends hooked on it as well. THANK GOD the series was done when I discovered it because I was able to binge watch it all the way through. I couldn't have handled waiting season by season...like I am now with Better Call Saul, lol.
Same here. I wouldn’t watch it till it was way over and fell in love with it. Just finished all of BCS too. I’ll be sad without any more BB universe . I will continue to watch over and over :)
I'm a late bloomer of the series, just watching it this year. Starting from season 1 episode 1 through to the last and, as with this series, Walking Dead and now "Better Call Saul," I enjoy so very much the ability of the actors to take us on a journey with them. Putting the show aside for a moment, great artists and great art penetrate deeply and while in Breaking Bad, the drug element was necessary in order to give the show it's shock value, the real story was not about drugs. The show could have enjoyed several more series with no problem whatsoever; it's difficult to imagine how they could have diluted it at all. So thanks guys. Thanks for everything.
The clip where a beat-up and exhausted Walter White mistakenly calls Flynn "Jesse" is one of the most humanizing and heartbreaking moments Walter has been a part of. SO glad they didn't kill Jesse off in the freakin' first season.
Omg, right?!?!?! That actually brought tears to my eyes, in that moment I knew Walt's love for Jesse and I also realized how deeply disconnected Walt was to his own son, both being heartfelt and tragic at the same time.
Most of us can't tell where RDJ ends and Tony Stark begins... and when Cranston is describing Jane's death, I can't tell if it's Bryan Cranston or Walter White "narrating" the scene. You know an actor is good when they can switch in and out of character so quickly and easily. And then Paul (perhaps as Pinkman) ending that anecdote with "what a dick". Love it.
I just watched breaking bad for the 2nd time (& it's been 6 years since I watched it the 1st time). Now that I'm almost 30 years old Walters character in season one I could truly empathize with & I could truly see the sad darkness of his life. I also could see the true terrible decisions he made with more clarity. It was like watching the show for the first time again but from a different perspective. I definitely encourage for people to rewatch the series if that haven't seen it in years.
Glad they didn't do the scene with Jane as they originally were supposed to, it would have been too much. And they did take chances with Walter, especially in season 4 with Brock, because it seems a lot of people disliked him after that, and I wonder if some disliked him so much that they stopped watching the show.
What they went with was soooooo much better and more controversial. I had the distinct pleasure of being a member of the BrBa message board on IMDb, hundreds of us posting and dissecting and arguing over whether Walt was really responsible or not legally, morally, etc. Oh, the good ol’ days. The show was so good, there was very little trolling on that board. I wish these guys knew how much of a testament that was to them and what they created!!!
It's absolutely fascinating to listen to Bryan Cranston talk about acting. I'm not an actor by any means but to hear him talk about his thought processes when developing Walter White is inspiring to say the least. His answer at 50:56 was something that I feel both writers and actors can draw from when bringing great characters to life. Hell, even Vince Gilligan is drawn in by his response at 53:00 when Cranston brings up his Dad in reference to the physicality of the character. Cranston is a true master of his craft.
just binged this show, and it was one of the best experiences of my life. bryan cranston and aaron paul absolutely fucking killed this entire series. Amazing acting man
The best part of the play given by chemistry teacher and Aron Paul relationship is amazing, honestly the climax executed by cranston was simply superb. At last I was crying for his demise.
Walter White and Jesse Pinkman were like Oil and Water - they don't mix, but when you add in some emulsifying agent(s) - Meth and Money, they worked together beautifully and formed something magical
This seriously was an amazing OUTSTANDING show. It's the only show where I've tried to contact The writer(Vince Gilligan) to applaud his writing, and the only time I've bawled like a baby more than three times in this show. I've seen the whole seasons two times, and it gets better every time. The acting is beautiful work, and every character was chosen to indefinite perfection.
Bernie2020 as much as we all ended up hating Walter white, his end really brought an emotional impact to me. Just the fact that we all went on this journey with him throughout the whole series, through his ups and downs, in some way or another he became a part of our lives. I was actually relieved when Jane was gone, I didn’t like her lol.
We see them both as phenomenal actors. But Bryan's and Aaron's processes of getting there are so INHERENTLY different! I mean the amount of thought Bryan seems to have put into it all- to be able to come up with the perfect WEIGHT for his character, and his posture too! Whereas with Aaron, it seems to be all instinct! Amazing
Really enjoyed listening to this interview. What great insights to the acting and production of the show, which is an absolute masterpiece. Thank you Bryan, Aaron and Vince for entertaining so many of us with your hard work.

I've never been so emotionally invested in a tv show.
Agreed. Easily the best tv show ive ever watched. As Aaron Paul says, I love it when I mention the show and someone says they havnt watched it. Makes me feel like im giving them a million dollars when I say WTF??? Watch it now haha
You should watch Fringe up to the end of season five and see how brilliantly John Noble showed the entire world how much a father can love his son. I have absolutely nothing against Breaking Bad, I really LOVED every last bit of it. I was dramatically hooked by it. But Fringe made me cry much, MUCH more. If you missed out on it you should totally give it a try :)
Cheers.. I watched season 1&2 of fringe n loved it but have kinda forgotten about it. On homeland atm which is intense but ill give fringe a good go again. Ty for the heads up !
Same here ;)...
Me too....other than that p0rn I just watched the other day. ;)
I absolutely love how Aaron laughs at every single one of Bryan's jokes. He's like his #1 fan.
Yellow4494 It's true they're so cute!!
So dam good those two such chemistry together.
@@silviakhanmohamed181 pun intended?
"Yo Mr. Cranston. Comedy!"
They're both really lucky you know that?
They didn't have to wait their entire lives to do something special.
Bryan is a genius. Not only can he intelligently explain his reasoning for developing his character, he is convey it with his body and let you know he's serious in making Walter a real person with feelings.
I could listen to Bryan Cranston all day! He's like the best story teller.
if you havent, listen to him on the howard stern show. definitely learn some things about him.
ChumpyChicken2 he was great in the WTF podcast with Marc Maron. He talks about him and his bro riding bikes across country and getting odd jobs along the way. And being questioned in a murder at a restaurant he worked at in Florida. He is a great story teller.
Same here +chumpychicken2 ;)
Seems like a good guy too
You should read his book. It’s really good
Damn, I hope i could talk like Bryan one day. His voice has such a presence. I automatically listen when he opens his mouth. Every time he talks feels like a line delivery. Such an elegant person.
kungfukenny I read this in Bryan Cranston’s voice
He is genetically gifted
.....simple biology dude
My grandfather was this way 😔
@@chubbybub2518 I read this is in some Idiots Voice
I love how Bryan describes his realisation of Walt's depression! It just gives me chills. I don't know if I'm the only one, who thinks like that but I feel so much empathy for Walt in the series. He is kind of his own victim and he pulls everyone else with him, although no one is deep down as destroyed as him. He's dead inside at a very early stage of the show. From then on he's just Heisenberg masking himself with Walter White but Walter White is just dead. He did not kill himself, he's just dead...
Yessss. In the final episode Walter confesses to Skyler that he did it for himself because it made him feel alive, so your comment is spot on. The series is very dark because it's basically a man of the highest potential possible (a genius scientist) who never got to manifest none of it. He is ignored and mocked by his students, his son is oblivious to him and is a fan of his brother in law who makes fun of him in front of his family and we see he doesn't feel right. In the first season, Walter struggling endlessly with the decision to kill the bad guy, it's horrible. Then the awful and disgusting way they got rid of the body… good lord. It's such a dark show. Also it's dark in how Walter never improves morally, it's just continuous degradation. At points I almost gave up watching.
Damn, I love this comment. Just watched breaking bad for the 2nd time (& it's been 6 years since I watched it the 1st time). Now that I'm almost 30 Walters character at the beginning I could empathize with so much more & truly see the sad darkness of his life. I also could see the true terrible decisions he made with more clarity. Overall depression & death of Walter white makes so much sense.
This comment just really explains it perfectly.
AMML I just binged the show during quarantine (I’m surprised myself-but I was of the mind that Bryan couldn’t pull off the role realistically. I knew him as Hal lmfao. So I put it off for years. I was laughably wrong lol.) Anyways you and OP are right on the money. And I had the same feelings in regards to Walt throughout the series. I pitied him and just wished his life and relationships weren’t completely irrevocably destroyed. By the choices he made brazenly. And I’m glad Bryan mentioned S1 pre-Jesse team up Walt as someone living life through the mental fog that is depression. It completely gives explanation to later his actions. Of course it absolutely does not excuse his immoral actions but it does inform why he made certain choices. And how his mind settled on staying in the business beyond the 737 goal. Also I think this theory (of Walt being majorly depressed) is supported by Walt plainly having suicidal ideation. Talking about the perfect time to die and the one moment he almost got into a collision with a car. Adding on, Mike’s comment about Walter being a ticking time bomb was just the perfect metaphor for Walt. Ofc at that point in the series it more directly signaled the new Walt/Hesinburg hybrid that was far gone from being able to listen to a grounded still morally responsive Jesse. And overall signaled Walt would be the demise of Jesse. But at least in the ground scheme of things Walt was a ticking time bomb-and I say this not in reference to whether Walt was going to be bad inevitably. But more so that without the diagnosis I don’t think he would’ve held on much longer. Especially if he felt like his family didn’t need him any longer. But they did because they faced an onslaught of debts and upcoming expenses. Cancer was yet another thing out of his control but cooking meth (being important/powerful because of it, his creation being deemed highly) + easing his family’s financial troubles (originally) was something in his control. Lol sorry for the weird Walter White character analysis. I definitely agree with y’all.
^ I didn't read that whole wall of text but I agree with not believing Bryan could pull off this role believably after knowing him as Hal for so long. He definitely surprised us big time.
I also have a lot of empathy for Walter, I very recently finished the series and watching interviews and reading comments I quickly realized there are not a lot who do. I can't call Walter a good guy, but I can't call him an evil guy either. I just can imagine a version of him who could have avoided all of the biggest mistakes that make him unredeemable, and it wouldn't be too far from the version of him who does.
-Dad, where's my breakfast?
-On your goddamn right
Yeah but could you live in a world without coke
This had me cracking up the last 30 minutes and definetly had to let you know aswell, three years later lol
uhhhhh.... yuck and gay
Lmfao😂😂
😂😂😂
Please give Aaron Paul due credit for a role he made his own.
absolutely....you know the plan Vince had at first was to have Jesse killed off at the end of S1 and have Walter get revenge for his death during S2. But Aaron was SO fucking good that Vince said, No, we have to keep this guy. He's amazing. I think he definitely made the right move. You?
Wow, is that true?
... Honestly, I think the show would’ve been run of the mill without him.
Personally, I think I liked Bryan Cranston’s performance a bit more, but if Jessie had been killed off in season 1... I dunno... I think the show would’ve been mediocre at best, mostly because he plays an incredibly important story telling role.
Breaking bad is quite literally a case study in very specific uses of writing techniques. Take, for example, Walter White. He is an old and incredibly smart chemistry teacher, really vanilla, not the sort of guy you’d expect to be a drug lord. Within a couple episodes, he becomes one of the most juxtaposed characters I have ever seen, which is one of the reasons he’s so interesting to watch. Jessie by comparison is kind of a nothing character, just some teen junkie. But that’s WHY he’s important, he immediately becomes a foil for Walter White. You’d expect some junkie to be interested in peddling drugs, not so much Walter. He’s also kind of a dumbass who didn’t do so well in school. These utterly contrasting character traits lead to interesting dialogue between the two. Had he been killed off in the first season... We’d lose that foil.
And really what makes the show one of the BEST in my opinion comes down to character growth. Almost every character has some sort of growth they go through, but ultimately, Walter and Jessie are the two character’s you’re most interested in. What is striking about the show is that, who you’ve been following this entire time as the “good guy” really isn’t. Walter White goes through a negative growth I’ve not seen very often in shows or movies. He falls into a downward spiral of ever more violent and toxic behavior, going from a loving father and husband to a complete psychopath. By the end of the show, you’re not rooting for the guy... Rather, you kinda hate his ass, and wonder where he went wrong.
Jessie, on the other hand, who ISN’T the main character, has an incredible positive growth. He goes from being some dumb junkie nobody to someone who’s grown in intelligence and maturity. He’s someone who grows a heart for certain people you didn’t expect to see there. You watch him struggle to kick addiction, and try to find a way out of the system he’s gotten himself stuck in. He’s truly trying to reform himself. He’s basically the secret protagonist. You wouldn’t know it from season one, but HE’S the one you care about and are rooting for at the end of the show.
The complete and total role reversal and mirrored growth of the 2 main characters is a source of amazing writing. I thought it was all planned out from the beginning. How could it not be if it works so well and so flawlessly? So I’m literally astonished that all that was never supposed to happen and Jessie was supposed to die in season one... Really says volumes about the actor, that he can literally steal the spotlight like that, espescially from a guy like Bryan Cranston, who ALSO pulled an amazing performance out of his ass... Seriously, never expected the freaking dad from malcom in the middle to do so well in a serious role.
El Camino (;
And to think Jesse was only supposed to last one season they're going to kill him off.
@@jamesontaylor8630 to think that would have killed him. i’m personally a believer that jesse is the real main character, so the fact he was going to be killed off so soon is surprising. id love to see the original story board for breaking bad
It would have been such a huge mistake to kill Jesse off. He made the show.
For me, the duo made the show. Their "oil and water" -- but then damn... so do the other characters. Ugh.
Also bryan
Without him there would be no bb
@@alexobed3184 they're
@@alexobed3184 And yes, the whole show is a complete package.
I don’t think the show would have lasted, let alone been so beloved had they done that
Bryan Cranston talks about acting the way Walter White talks about chemistry lol
It is so interesting and endearing how whenever given credit or a compliment, Aaron Paul always makes it a point to lift up and talk about his colleagues, cast-mates, crew, writers, directors with gratitude, respect and awe. This kind of humility and sense of community is truly aspirational.
What's wild about Bryan's acting is that, he seems like a totally different person up there but Aaron seems like Jesse. I'm not putting Aaron's acting down I think his acting is phenomenal. But just really shows how amazing Bryan is and how well he gets into character. What a master actor.
Right? I'm currently watching season 3 and and I'm thinking all the time 'Man what an awesome actor is this guy!'
Can put yo bitch down Lol! The guy grabs your heart as he shows how caring he is for children being killed, his girlfriend, partner’s trust. So awesome these two! Loved it all!
Shreddie Herger I think it also has something to do with Aaron Paul liking to become the characters he plays, he used to go out at night as ‘Jessie’ if you like a hang out with crackheads and chainsmoke with them, I don’t think either of them are better or worse than eachother, they’re both just very different styles of getting into the characters, both phenomenal actors.
Shreddie Herger Bryan Cranston is a very versatile actor. When u see Bryan Cranston in character, u see his character, not Bryan Cranston. Aaron Paul likewise is a terrific actor but like u said, I see a lot of Jesse in him, which isn’t at all a bad thing but u don’t really see much of a transformation like u would with Bryan Cranston.
I watched one of the table reads (where the actors rehearse the script, sitting at a table) and Aaron Paul’s reading for this very emotional scene where he was crying was so damn good that he was making some of the rest of the crew literally cry
My favourite moment in the show was when Jessie thought Walt was going to build a “robot” out of scraps to help them escape the desert 🏜
His delivery was almost as hilarious as a Michael Scott from the voice funny but so genuine to the character that it didnt feel like the show was forcing a laugh .
that was a really great moment
Ahhhhh..Wire
360p, we meet again.
I have never in my life felt so desperate to see the next episode of a show, I only started watching 3 weeks ago and I sat up till 3-4am every night, and never have I been so emotional when a show ended. This is truely some amazing writing, how they make you continue to like Walter even after he becomes such a bad guy and you should clearly hate him.
+Russ Michaels I never watched the show when they were first aired. I binge-watched it - rather easily, of course - on Netflix, so I'd go straight from the final episode of a given season to the first episode of the next season. As you said, I can't imagine waiting a full year between seasons
+Russ Michaels Man I can relate to you,I also used to watch this show from 1-4 am for like 2 weeks and still feel bad about why and how the show ended.
+Russ Michaels
Try watch The Walking Dead, you will watch it all in one week.
Heisenberg aint no bad guy he just realized wat life is really about
+Russ Michaels --Dont feel bad Russ. I binge watched the Whole show, all 5 seasons in 6 days and as it was a blast & phenom., the problem is that after 3 or 4 mo's I don't remember a lot about what happened (All the intracacies and theres a zillion of them!) ...so I have to watch it again...Take my time and enjoy and remember a lot more!! Really Loved it! Best thing TV has ever offered us! What acting and storylines! Defin. a Dramedy too! They could'a went on for 15 more yrs easily they had so many 100's of Millions hooked!" Tough for the writers to keep up + keep it interesting!"
I have watched breaking bad more than 5 times, this was a masterpiece
12 Times here
23x
***** 65x (^ _ ^)/ ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
dennis luvandale I only seen seen the whole thing twice but I think it's time for the third time around soon
Mike Bready ive seen the entire series 8 times and the 2nd and 3rd time around were the best. the moments where you realize that you could watch this show repeatedly and find things you didnt notice before or extrapolate new meanings from things or notice foreshadowing you didnt see before
for some reason, the 2nd and 3rd time watching it is much more emotional
Can't wait for Apple to collaborate with Walter White to produce some banging iMeth..

I binge watched the whole series in about a week during a school break. It's like I couldn't stop: I was captivated. Great show, one of the best I've seen.
AutomobileFunk Haha! You just made my night.
AutomobileFunk I don't know about the marriage part but I could watch the whole show again.
AutomobileFunk I know right?! I felt sad when it ended too.
@AutomobileFunk why dont you just stay in your basement instead
six years after you, I also just watched it all over winter break, nonstop. our souls are connected thru time by this show :)
I swear, every thought he described regarding letting Jane die, I went through all of the same thoughts in exactly that sequence. Ultimately, I've always justified it in my own mind that it was his genuine love for Jesse.
I really wish the writers had allowed Vince to go with his original plan of having Walt deliberately inject Jane with a lethal dose of heroin
I thought that too. I also thought it was understandable why WW hesitated in saving Jane. He knew on some level she or both she and Jesse were headed toward inevitable death not to mention she would've continued to blackmail Walt. WW did not cause her death. And I don't feel that his inaction meant WW was dark or evil in that scene.
@@AliciaM5555 Exactly, she was going to destroy Jesse and Walt, she got him hooked and had to go.
For me it was not until Mike that I stopped rooting for Walt.

Lets do some maths (math if you're from the us)
Highest Pixel count: 640 x 360 = 230400 pixels per frame
Per one second: 230400 * 30 = 6912000 pixels per second
Pixels for this video is: 3238 seconds * 6912000 = 22,381,056,000
So i don't understand where you would have lost the 22,381,055,997 dollars from.
Koubiak No, you wouldn't you would have 240/360 dollars
Does the man interviewing remind anyone else of the character Gale Boetticher? He looks a little like the actor and he is similarly nerdy! Even his voice and the way he speaks reminds me of Gale! I like him.

Yesss thank you 😂

I’m 13 years late but wow this show is such a masterpiece it will forever be held near and dear to my heart and I can’t wait to watch it again sometime. I’m 15 so thankfully I’ve got plenty of time to forget what happened and watch it in a new light

What a difference an interview makes when the interviewer is not only professional but invested. Love the responses from all three of these brilliant people.
I found it really powerful that at around 8:11 that when the murder of Gale was mention, Aaron Paul cringed
wow
+StCShortFilms Yeah, it must have freaked him out to have had to act that -- murdering an essentially harmless person (except he was cooking meth to sell to messed up people) in cold blood. Must've left a mark!
It's 3:30a.m. and I JUST finished watching the Finale, I'm so sad! Bryan Cranston is Amazing, but I think Aaron Paul doesn't get enough credit! He had barely any acting experience, and KILLED it!!!
Sigh, now what do I do?? Eh, start over! :-)
Mindy... I just finished binge watching the series again... for the 3rd time... and i totally agree with you regarding Aaron Paul. To me, although Cranston was amazing, Aaron turned in the performance of the whole show. He was the only character that instilled in me so many different emotions throughout. I couldn't stand him, I felt bad for him, I felt elation for him etc... superb performance.
I finished jst tonight and i agree season finale is the best thing I've ever seen
MindyHugs everybody loves aaron paul.
everybody says Aaron Paul made bb so great...he did ofc, but i was so mad at the character Jessi Pinkman. I was thinking; just shut up Jessi, shut up and listen to the master mind Walter White who got fucked by some nerdy dumbo ears who stole his girl and Grey matter company.
Start watching "Better Call Saul"
As Aaron says, some people were just dragged by other people who just happened to watch a few episodes. I'm one of them. The idea sounded interesting, no more, no less. Then you watch the show and follow the story and it definitely becomes one of the best things ever made for a screen. It will be really hard to watch a new series after that. I got spoiled by Breaking Bad, now my expectations are too high. Thanks and fuck you come to mind when i think of this. Mind blowing show
+Calagamberr0 Have you invested some time into the TV series Ray Donovan? It is not Breaking Bad, but it is quite compelling and I can't wait to see Season 3. That said we're starting to watch Better Call Saul, tonight :) We'll get some BB doses so to ease the withdrawal.

I just finished watching the end of Breaking Bad last week and loved it. 10 minutes later, I tried to watch "Sons of Anarchy" from beginning and I just couldn't do it. Nothing else compared. I ended up a few days later watching Breaking Bad from beginning again. How anyone done this??
i know its been 4 years but you got to give soa a shot
Sons actually was on par until it turned into a soap near end.
You tried watching a new show 10 minutes after breaking bad ended? Wtf. It takes like a week to process a show, especially a great one.
I did that with better call Saul when it first came out in 2015. I couldn’t get into it and just started breaking bad again because I missed it so much. I now am all caught up on better call Saul and I’m glad I gave it another chance. Vince gilligan is a genius
Robert De la Crica old ass comment i know, but I’ve been a die-hard Sons of Anarchy fan and I’ve watched it front to back many times in fact I’ve ended it and instantly restarted it. HUGE fan of SOA. But one time after i watched it to the end i went “what now” like i usually do after i finish a book or finish watching a series and i saw breaking bad. I’ve heard about it so i decided to give it a chance. After watching breaking bad i tried to go back to sons but it just doesn’t compare at all. I was completely mind blown and i guess you can say now my standards are set so high that it’s like everything else is just gonna suck. I started watching Better Call Saul on Netflix and even that I’m kind of like “ehhh” but I’m bearing with it
Bryan Cranston is becoming younger.. Omg he is so handsome
i love how every answer each gives is just talking about how brilliant the other two are. also gotta love vince's southwestern twang.
Its Heisenberg but its Malcom's dad but it's Bryan Cranston
Agh this is really confusing my brain
People are in the awe of these amazing talents, but no one talks about how amazing the interviwer is. A real eloquent professional. Well done.
This guy is a very good interviewer. Interviewers have it tough because I feel like they are only noticed when they perform poorly. I just wanted to give the interviewer some credit for once
This interviewer is outstanding. His intellect is on par with Vince and Bryan so he was able to extract the most detailed information from them all.
Bryan and Aaron have got my vote as actors of the decade, closely followed by the rest of the cast.
11:45
The fact that he so effortlessly slipped into Walt.... chills beyond comprehension.
Pinkman is one of the best characters i've ever seen. True example of an arc. Kudos to Gilligan and Paul.
The interviewer accidentally calling Aaron "Jesse" was great.
This is actually more insightful than most interview with the two. Like he said, a very broad question at the end turned out to be so inquisitive to how Bryan Cranston prepared for W.W. - priceless. So good.

Goddammit I love how much Bryan plays into his Heisenberg character
Never seen someone like Vince get so well respected by his actors like has.
After re-binging the show I wanted to watch some interviews and was really entertained by all of the great members. Then Bryan said tha Walter was "invisible to himself and the society" and I broke out in tears. Even today, almost 8 years after the final episode, this show let's me feel the whole emotional bandwidth.
Cranston reminds me of Ned Flanders when he's wearing the moustache.. So if ever they make The Simpson's into a live action feature length movie. Cranston is Ned Flanders..
Omg !
I thought the very same thing
😍😍😍🤓😍😍😍😍😍
Vince Gilligan is a legend! Wish I could work with him. Arron Paul needs to credit himself more! But yeah what a show!
Bryan is pretty awesome. Always has a little diss for Aaron.
The script, the characters, and The title 'Breaking Bad.'
That title covers so much (vast,) about the storyline, and the characters, (and even the product.)
Will any series ever even match this masterpiece of film 🎭
i cried at the end of breaking bad
TheRealFinnWilliams who didn't
TheRealFinnWilliams think most of us did
i cried all over bb
Me too, all 4 times I watched the series it still got me every time
Cuz Thats what heroes do
Vince Gilligan is a genius and THE WHOLE CAST? Kudos to the brainiac eho cast them. I also stayed awake for 3 days watching the whole series. as I didn't Start watching until the 3rd to last episode. I sobbed when they played Baby Blue.
OMG, Beckey, ME TOO. I not only sobbed at the ending...more about not WANTING BB to end...but I couldn't sleep that night with that song playing in my head.
The first thing I did was grab my guitar and try to learn it. Unfortunately due to my rheumatoid Arthritis I am no longer able to play like I used to :(
I could listen to Bryan Cranston talk about acting all day. Clearly loves the craft
Haha so funny how he calls Aaron Paul Jesse :3
3 fckng legends...!!!
VRYSCRY u’re goddamn right
For me personally.
Breaking bad= jesse pinkman.
He won in my book.
Abhir Malhotra Yup. Also the character I feel the saddest for.
Bitch
W
Oh gosh towards the end of Breaking Bad I felt so bad for the character I was kinda hoping for a mercy kill cause he was just broken by the end. Walt really took everything good in Jesse's life and just completely stomped on it.
He lost big time. Nothing left in his life, cops searching him, broke, everyone who cared about him dead
Aaron gives the person talking all of his attention, he even turns and looks at them while they talk! that's so lovely of him.
He's a sweet guy!
Kinda forget they're just actors. Just wow.
Often the writers of something so epic will phone in the last episode; they have nothing further to prove...That's what separates Vince G. from many of the normal TV writers...The last episode was Perfect! As great an ending as any in the history of series shows!
I think Breaking Bad constantly brings about the considerable shiver each time we think deeply of the spectrum of this show because we are ALL Walter White in a certain way : most of the times we are frightened by the radical choices we could make, this huge terror to burst into ourselves, this '' something else '' malefic, fascinating, warm, complete that we'll never be ready to face because we don't even try to open the breach... Like Walter White at the very beginning many people outside undergo, resigned, restricted in fear
If we're all Walter white, shouldn't I be getting royalty checks from the show? Who do I call to inquire about this?
So far this is the best tv show ever made and it has put these amazing actors like Bryan and Aaron into the "A" list. Also the people who do the casting are just as talented, to be able to find the perfect Walt or the perfect Jesse, to me is amazing, I'm so glad they gave Bryan and Aaron a chance to make there mark in so far the greatest tv show, it just wouldn't have been the same with other actors
So Tuco was to inintially kill Jesse? Makes sense. It was unlikely he would've gotten alive out of that initial meeting with tuco in a real life situation.
I watched the last episode yesterday... can't believe it's over :( This interview is great! I like the interviewer, he's calm and knows what he's talking about. Bryan,Aaron and Vince are very smart, humble and brilliant men. I could listen to them talk for hours. They have just put in so much effort in this awesome show and they're really proud of it. I love how modest Aaron becomes when he's asked what he did to bring Jesse to life on screen.. Bryan's "Oh he is just modest" was so cute. They're truly wonderful people and they've made the show what it is. I loved it and I will dearly miss it. I also love Aaron's sweater ,grey looks good on him.
Believe it or not, I had not even heard of the show until the summer of 2016. I had almost completely stopped watching TV for several years due to being so busy in the military and some family issues for a few years, as well as work after I exited the military. When life finally settled down and I subscribed to Netflix in 2016 I was sitting around one evening and trying to find a good show to fall asleep to and came across Breaking Bad. From the first 30 seconds I was addicted and I most definitely didn't fall asleep. I ended up getting my girlfriend, mom, dad, step-mom, and a couple of friends hooked on it as well. THANK GOD the series was done when I discovered it because I was able to binge watch it all the way through. I couldn't have handled waiting season by season...like I am now with Better Call Saul, lol.
Same here. I wouldn’t watch it till it was way over and fell in love with it. Just finished all of BCS too. I’ll be sad without any more BB universe . I will continue to watch over and over :)
You can tell they have so much respect for each other
I'm a late bloomer of the series, just watching it this year. Starting from season 1 episode 1 through to the last and, as with this series, Walking Dead and now "Better Call Saul," I enjoy so very much the ability of the actors to take us on a journey with them. Putting the show aside for a moment, great artists and great art penetrate deeply and while in Breaking Bad, the drug element was necessary in order to give the show it's shock value, the real story was not about drugs. The show could have enjoyed several more series with no problem whatsoever; it's difficult to imagine how they could have diluted it at all. So thanks guys. Thanks for everything.
The clip where a beat-up and exhausted Walter White mistakenly calls Flynn "Jesse" is one of the most humanizing and heartbreaking moments Walter has been a part of. SO glad they didn't kill Jesse off in the freakin' first season.
Omg, right?!?!?! That actually brought tears to my eyes, in that moment I knew Walt's love for Jesse and I also realized how deeply disconnected Walt was to his own son, both being heartfelt and tragic at the same time.
The way Bryan explains his character of Walter White is just incredible! WOW!
everyone's talking about bryan, aaron and vince but honestly the host/interviewer killed it lol. so charming and funny
Most of us can't tell where RDJ ends and Tony Stark begins... and when Cranston is describing Jane's death, I can't tell if it's Bryan Cranston or Walter White "narrating" the scene. You know an actor is good when they can switch in and out of character so quickly and easily. And then Paul (perhaps as Pinkman) ending that anecdote with "what a dick". Love it.
I just watched breaking bad for the 2nd time (& it's been 6 years since I watched it the 1st time). Now that I'm almost 30 years old Walters character in season one I could truly empathize with & I could truly see the sad darkness of his life. I also could see the true terrible decisions he made with more clarity. It was like watching the show for the first time again but from a different perspective.
I definitely encourage for people to rewatch the series if that haven't seen it in years.
Bryan narrates like a writer, listening his words makes me feel like reading a book.
Bryan Cranston is beyond cool.
I want a man to love me like Hank loved Marie.
Glad they didn't do the scene with Jane as they originally were supposed to, it would have been too much. And they did take chances with Walter, especially in season 4 with Brock, because it seems a lot of people disliked him after that, and I wonder if some disliked him so much that they stopped watching the show.
What they went with was soooooo much better and more controversial. I had the distinct pleasure of being a member of the BrBa message board on IMDb, hundreds of us posting and dissecting and arguing over whether Walt was really responsible or not legally, morally, etc. Oh, the good ol’ days. The show was so good, there was very little trolling on that board. I wish these guys knew how much of a testament that was to them and what they created!!!
11:50 when Bryan turns into Walt was so awesome
It's absolutely fascinating to listen to Bryan Cranston talk about acting. I'm not an actor by any means but to hear him talk about his thought processes when developing Walter White is inspiring to say the least. His answer at 50:56 was something that I feel both writers and actors can draw from when bringing great characters to life. Hell, even Vince Gilligan is drawn in by his response at 53:00 when Cranston brings up his Dad in reference to the physicality of the character. Cranston is a true master of his craft.
lost was ok, but man, the dexter finale was horrendous!
Bryan Cranston, you sir are a genuine talanted actor!
just binged this show, and it was one of the best experiences of my life. bryan cranston and aaron paul absolutely fucking killed this entire series. Amazing acting man
The best part of the play given by chemistry teacher and Aron Paul relationship is amazing, honestly the climax executed by cranston was simply superb. At last I was crying for his demise.
It must be the greatest job on earth, to be part of a group of incredible talented people. And create a timeless show together.
they have such genuine affection for each other, coming from a show so dark at times. damn i love these bastards
17:27 after we all saw Jesse miss Jane's character and Walt take that away.. that killed the audience for sure! THANK GOD FOR EL CAMINO
just finished breaking bad, hate finishing series so much
the way theyre all looking at Bryan at 12:13 shows how much they love the work theyve created
Nice interview!
The best drama in history. The best duet of actors (leading and supporting) in history! Unforgettable show!
Just finished watching the whole series for the third time. I love it more today than I did 10 years ago
Walter White and Jesse Pinkman were like Oil and Water - they don't mix, but when you add in some emulsifying agent(s) - Meth and Money, they worked together beautifully and formed something magical
I love how much they ALWAYS show Vince so much respect! This was THE best show I’ve ever watched!
This seriously was an amazing OUTSTANDING show. It's the only show where I've tried to contact The writer(Vince Gilligan) to applaud his writing, and the only time I've bawled like a baby more than three times in this show. I've seen the whole seasons two times, and it gets better every time. The acting is beautiful work, and every character was chosen to indefinite perfection.
Emma Krasinski which 3 times did you bawl? I'm just curious. I know I cried after Jane died and at the end I think
f SPOILERS!!!: when hank died, when Walter died... and i forget the last time... hm
Bernie2020 as much as we all ended up hating Walter white, his end really brought an emotional impact to me. Just the fact that we all went on this journey with him throughout the whole series, through his ups and downs, in some way or another he became a part of our lives. I was actually relieved when Jane was gone, I didn’t like her lol.
I have watched B.B. two times now, and I got my wife to watch it finally.................. She loved it. Now El Camino and then B.C.S
Very nice to be able to talk about a TV show as a work of art...very uncommon with popular shows these days.
Vince Gilligan is kinda like Quentin Tarantino, in that his product is gritty and edgy, but he as a person is friendly and mild-mannered.
so true. abnoxious prick
nahor88 Tarantino aint friendly or mild mannered.... hes kind of a douchebag
nahor88 Vince Gilligan is actually a genuine man. Tarantino is a pretentious asshole.
mum and I finished it two nights ago. we miss watching it so much. thank you for such a great ride
BTW- Aaron Paul was FANTASTIC in this show (of course) but also in a show called The Path, which is the show he did for Hulu after Breaking Bad.
We see them both as phenomenal actors. But Bryan's and Aaron's processes of getting there are so INHERENTLY different! I mean the amount of thought Bryan seems to have put into it all- to be able to come up with the perfect WEIGHT for his character, and his posture too! Whereas with Aaron, it seems to be all instinct! Amazing
Bryan cranstons wearing skinny jeans, wow!
Really enjoyed listening to this interview. What great insights to the acting and production of the show, which is an absolute masterpiece. Thank you Bryan, Aaron and Vince for entertaining so many of us with your hard work.
