Part 2 Saying goodbye to the bad guy: Heisenberg the modern day Tony Montana

With episode 14 behind us we all saw Hanks final moments and realized how important of a character he was. I completely have a “you never know what you had until it’s gone” moment. As Walt screamed that he’s family and then collapsed to the floor upon watching Hank’s final breath.  We saw just another detachment from his human side as he realized Jesse was under his car and told him another painful secret as he was being carried to his presumed death. As the Nazis decide to spare Jesse my prediction from Part 1 still stands.

Part 1 Saying goodbye to the bad guy: Heisenberg the modern day Tony Montana

As we approach the end of the final season of Breaking Bad it really makes me think about the history of how I felt when I rooted for the bad guy to win, but realized that for the story to end we needed him to not have a happy ending. I spend all week trying to search out which show or movie first made me feel this way. I found that my first experience was Scarface. This film by far really had the recipe where our main character having a tough down and out life now faced with a hunger to have the things he felt he deserves. Walter White worked that way because of his streak of bad luck, crappy jobs, and stale marriage all of which culminated and basically broke him when he was diagnosed with cancer.
