The evidence for swimming pools being used symbolically in breaking bad is abundantly clear in this video, which you would understand if you weren't an idiot that just took everything at face value. You admit that Vince 'Has some sort of genius hidden plot' that you're too thick to grasp but then you also think reading between the lines and understanding the impact of visual story telling is 'taking it way too far'? Nice contradiction dumb-ass but guess what; there is no 'genius hidden plot' there is just THE plot of the entire story, and everything in the show has been carefully structured around that.

The third viewing is a solemn, dignified reflection as to which sides of Walter we recognized in ourselves. The fourth time is because you’re actually cooking meth.

In my first summer out of high school, at a pool party, an old friend who was deeply depressed jumped into the deep end and sank down to the bottom. He just sat there, like a Buddha. When we jumped in to pull him out, he was smiling. It was a deep smile of satisfaction, like he had found the first relief he'd had in years. At the time I thought that he was just glad that we cared enough to rescue him. Later that summer, he killed himself. I realized then that his smile was from his first real glimpse of death, and it was comforting to him.

The dichotomy of Walt's 2 persona's clashing as the last vestige of the "old and kind" Walter are barely managing to stay afloat to his "new and cold" Heisenberg identity.

It's so strange how Gus's quest for revenge against Salamanca twists him so badly that it all ends with Salamanca getting revenge against Gus on behalf of others. Despite the sins of Salamanca, he gets to die nobly, sacrificing himself to stop an evil druglord. Even though he's also an evil drug lord. And Gus became the very thing he ventured to stop.

Also, the constant staring at the swimming pool could be a poignant reminder of things bought with clean money, ergo life before crime

@@gregthefishburger8270 they consistently show themselves at the end of each video, including this one lmao. If other people are helping them with their takes behind the scenes they've never mentioned it and I seriously doubt it considering how much they refer to themselves as a duo/pair. And if even anyone else was helping, they're still clearly doing the brunt of this work. So like I said, these ladies are a tier above most.

Never payed too much attention to the symbolism of the pool. I've always viewed it as a place where Walt emptied his thoughts but now seeing more and the others identity with the pool is just brilliant. Thank you guys.

I watch your videos every time I need to write an essay. Keep doing what you guys are doing, it's awesome!

I miss escaping reality and watching this show every week. I would literally cut off the rest of the world for it.

Can you guys make a video about Frank Underwood?

Skylar literally describes how she feels like she’s drowning when she talks to the lawyer when she was trying to get divorced. Idk how I missed that the first time I watched it so I was kinda confused when I first watched the swimming pool scene with skylar. I’m surprised they didn’t put that piece of dialogue with the divorce lawyer in this vid too.

I love your channel! It helps to satisfy a bit when I can't find anyone that wants to nerd out as much as I do on a show I like. You always have really insightful takes!

Love you guys, have been watching you for a while now! Your videos never fail to intrigue me (((((:

Gus’s business partner was his lover? I never thought of it that way. That’s crazy but kinda makes sense

No one knew . Thats why the cartel never expected Gus to plan revenge 20 years later. They all assumed he forgot about his partner

He was definitely his lover, it's not said outright but it's implied. When Hector is peeing in the pool, he makes a joke about Gus and his partner "liking what they see" or something to that effect & then later after Gus dies and the police confiscate his stuff, there is a framed picture of him & his partner with their arms around each other. Also, his partner mentions that Gus paid for his schooling. And just w/ the level of his grief and desire for revenge over his partner's death, it's clear that he had extremely deep feelings for him. I feel like it really shaped who he was and was a lot of the reason he became so cold and detached from his emotions.

It’s heavily implied and would make sense

I think the meaning always changes but generally it refers to a feeling of being overwhelmed/purification

I kinda like it how BrBa keeps being mentioned here and there these days, like it's dancing on GoT's ashes

TV? Hell yeah. I loved GOT S1-4. GOT fell hard after S6. S7-8 needed to be 10 episodes, and 3-4 more seasons. Keep in mind GRRM wanted 13 seasons, but D&D negotiated 8, and won. It got shitty after they ran out of books.

The Take could you guys do a video on Dexter?

Even after years of this series being finished it still continues to amaze me

What a remarkable video. Your work is so consistently brilliant that I honestly don’t understand how y’all put out a new video every single week. Just signed up to support The Take on Patreon. Keep being awesome, you.

This video represents EXACTLY the kind of fascinating analytical content for which I subscribed to this channel ! I couldn't be happier Breaking Bad is still very much alive and relevant in 2019! Would you guys consider analyzing (any) particular motif from True Detective season 1:)? Awesome work!!!

Not the same.

I loved the boat painting used in this show. It’s very easy to realise that it signifies him leaving his family

In the episode after hank manage to survive the salamanca brothers skyler walks up to walter for reassurance that everything is ok. I watched it with subs of my native language and everything made sense except from one part, when skyler asks walt if are they safe, he says yes in english but the subs say "no"

I don't think that Walt killed those 176 people from the plane crash. It was the fault of Jane's father. He didn't want to kill those people. Only because you drop something and later someone slippes on it and falls doesn't make you 100% responsable for the incident. The person that fell should have looked out better.

Thank you. I’m tired of people saying that Walt killed everyone in the crash. I feel like everyone is missing the point of the whole plane crash subplot. Vince Gilligan himself said that the entire point of the show was to illustrate that “actions have consequences.” If Walt had saved Jane, those 167 people probably would have survived; this is true. But like you said, it’s other people’s fault too, Walt is simply responsible for setting those effects in motion. It’s one of the best examples of “actions have consequences” and the value of human life in Breaking Bad to me. Saying that “wAlT kiLlEd 167 PeOpLe” takes away from what the writers are really trying to make you see.

damn this show keeps messing with my head in every way
