I always hated this idea. I hate "this is when Walter became Heisenberg." I think it misses the true implication of Walt’s character. Walter never "became" Heisenberg, they are the same person. Walter White has always been a man who has pride and respect at the forefront of his life, being held back by his loss, family, and Financials. His alias as Heisenberg gave him a chance to finally be who he really is, a power-hungry man who'd stop at nothing for adoration and control. Walter White always WAS Heisenberg, he just didn’t have the means to show it

@chrisadraheim 2 жыл бұрын

I think the point of the show is to raise the question of when Walter becomes Heisenberg, not to answer it. "He was always Heisenberg" is a valid interpretation, but no more so than the interpretations that he became Heisenberg when he did X in season Y. The show frequently informs us about past events, such as Walt's departure from Gray Matter/falling out with Gretchen and Elliot, only very indirectly through how the characters feel about what went down decades later. We're very deliberately not given information that would give us clarifying insights on these points. We have no idea if Gretchen and Elliot consciously screwed Walt over (Gretchen does seem to be genuinely oblivious of why Walt would look at those events the way he does, but that could be a self-serving delusion or her being unaware of what Elliot may have done to Walt), or if he's nursing petty resentments over perceived slights. The debate IS the point. Breaking Bad is the eternal nature vs nurture debate applied to morality.

@chrisadraheim 2 жыл бұрын

I think I take back my previous comment. We're both wrong, Walt straight up tells us the answer in his chemistry lecture in the first 10 minutes of the first episode of the series, and he says it's indeed about how he changes. Walt's arc is "growth, then decay, then transformation!" kzfaq.info/get/bejne/ib6Bmsth3ruYdKc.html Though I do still think the interpretation that he was always Heisenberg is not inconsistent with the literal events of the series.

@loregasmic 2 жыл бұрын

Yes and no. I agree that Walter and Heisenberg aren't split personalities that flip like a switch. It's more like a spectrum. But to say that the man in Season 1 who grappled emotionally with the idea of killing an enemy so much that he spent an entire episode weighing the pros and cons of it and even getting to know the guy to look for reasons not to kill him is not the same man who, in Season 5, orders the outright killing of a bunch of guys the same way he ordered a meal at Denny's. It's like what was said about chemistry, he changed over time due to the circumstances around him. You'd be very surprised at what you or any person can become in different conditions and environments. That's not to absolve Walt of what he's done, he definitely owns accountability for it too but it was a slow, gradual process. Same thing went for Jesse except he had a positive arc and not a negative one. He started out as a junkie, went through shit and came out clean on the other side. Walt ironically turned into a junkie, his drug being that of power and control. One that he took his first hit telling himself yeah, it's just for my family, I'm going to stop after this. But he never could quit and always ended up getting "high" once more. Are we defined solely by our worst attributes? I don't think so. By the end of Season 5 we don't still see Jesse as the junkie he was in Season 1-3, during his lowest points. Why then should we see Heisenberg as the true Walt? Heisenberg is the outward manifestation of the darkness inside every person that can come out when pushed too far, if we allow it to happen.

@@Aleczandxr The real tragedy is that people call the man just before the cancer diagnosis "Walter." We can clearly see the *real* Walter during the house buying scene, and hints of this real Walter in his previous relationship with Schwartzes, and in the strained relationship with his wife starting from the first episodes. There are at least three phases: young Walter, then Mr White the science teacher, then Heisenberg. What transforms Walter into Mr White is the Schwartzes and his wife defeating him. Mr White is a man who serves his wife but doesn't love her. That's one thing line I feel was off in the video - it wasn't so much that _he_ fell in love with the house, but _she_ did. There is nothing about Mr White's life that he loves, merely those he wishes he loved, likely even thinks himself bad for not loving - I don't know if that can be called "holding dear" or not, but "I should love you" is still more warmth than Heisenberg's guiltless embrace of non-love. Point is, young Walter wouldn't have continued living in that home, but that was when he still had entrepreneurial ambition and before Mr White sought solace from defeat in the mediocrity of Skyler. The Mr White we see in the first episode is an old trope of American TV, but the portrait of the defeated man implies a deeper personality, hidden within his memory, of a man yet undefeated.

A detail related to the point you make that stood out to me on rewatch is that the meth business got Walt‘s interest BEFORE his diagnosis, not after. He didn’t find out about his cancer then see a good way to make money illegally, he saw something that he knew he’d be the best at and then got the news that he’d never have to face the consequences of that business.

For me, the moment at the end of Face Off where he tells Skylar “I won” was the turning point where Walt surrendered himself to Heisenberg; not because of the things he did, but his reaction. For all the terrible things he did before (killing Krazy 8, not saving Jane, making Jesse kill Gale etc.) there were hints of remorse and/or uneasiness within Walt, but upon learning his plan to kill Gus was successful, he doesn’t seem to think about all the messed things he did to get there (poisoning a kid, using a physically weak and helpless man in the plot, blowing up a hospital etc.) or how his family will react to all of it. All that mattered was that he beat Gus.

@@RoScFan It's implied that in the past Walter burned his bridge to success with Gray Matter because he hadn't built it. He cut himself out of Gray Matter, when he say how much money Gretchen's family had he gave up both the relationship and a chance at being a multi billionaire. All because his ego wouldn't let him feel inferior and get a life which he hadn't made for himself. He then allowed his ambition to smolder as he became a family man and an overqualified chemistry teacher. Breaking Bad was his endlife crisis, a sudden time limit that spurred him into vitality. He made a self destructive grab at the wealth and power he always dreamed of, built through his wits and talent. The moral here is to not let your ego control your destiny. Don't let it deny you opportunity, and lead you into self destruction. You can do great things if you keep your ego in check, or terrible things if you let it fester until it explodes.

Heisenberg was the shadow side of Walt and as with every repressed shadow Heisenberg had his positive qualities but was deeply selfish. I actually think that in the last episode Heisenberg doesn't exist anymore. it's just Walter White who has integrated with his alter ego in a positive manner. And indeed in Felina Walter is determined, unafraid, scary even, but he is finally working for altruistic reasons. He puts his ego aside and uses Gretchen and Elliott to pass along his money, knowing that they will get the credit. He admits his sins to Skyler. He plans to sacrifice himself in order to avenge Hank. And in the end he saves Jesse and gives him a second chance. All of that would be impossible without his time as Heisenberg but in the end Walt is the one doing it.

Walter White is obviously a perfectionist. He thinks a lot of things but doesn't follow through. He's said that he was scared before, I believe as a perfectionist, he's scared to not get the results he expects. He's scared to fail. But with an impending death, he believes he won't even be alive to face consequences if he fails. Thus, Heisenberg is simply Walt that has gained the confidence to act on his thoughts. They're no different, Heisenberg is like a drunk Walt.

Walt IS Heisenberg, he just needed a push to understand his values and priorities. Jesse on the other hand, needed to struggle to find out that he isn’t a bad guy at heart, he’s not a criminal at heart, and it’s shown that Walt and Jesse really are opposites. Jesse’s a bad guy with a good heart that turns into a better person, Walt is a good guy who’s bad on the inside and becomes worse when given the chance.

I personally interpret Heisenberg as an evil hidden in each of us that needs certain events in life in order to be activated and then revealed. The moment Walter White realized what a mistake it was to refuse to work with Eliot and Gretchen on the $ 5,000 gray matter project was the moment he launched internal Heisenberg at Walter. The scene in which Walt found out about cancer revealed Heisenberg, and this caused the evil in Walter to grow over time. In short, Heisenberg is the protagonist's wounded ego, which is fed more and more harm to other people and the profit of Walter White.

One thing that I've never seen someone say is that his chosen monicker, Heisenberg, is very known for his "Heisenberg's uncertainty principle" Which is a very good metaphor of what he's been throughout the series.

The moment he became Heisenberg was when he was in the crawl space and Skylar told him the money he needed to keep the family from being killed was given to the man she had an affair with. Once Walt started laughing in that situation hysterically, you just knew Walt died

I think creating the construct that Walter was two different people is interesting, but fundamentally devalues the importance of this story. Remember his character is a progenitor of characters like Tony Soprano with the twist of us witnessing his metamorphosis. His story is interesting because he was every man confronting death and doing what was needed to care for his family. The hook is what would happen to him(or us) when the rules that govern us no longer matter, and we are left with the limits of our own agency. All the while pushing the characters and viewers empathy further and further until we feel him become a monster. You see, he is not any less Heisenberg than Walter even in the beginning, that's why we love it. Because it makes us think about that nature of evil, and of ourselves.

I have always believed that if you track the timeline of the show (which is 2 years and 1 day) that Heisenberg took over 9 months after the diagnosis. (Heisenberg was conceived as the cancer and of coarse was given birth 9 months later) I have not watched this show in a while so I don’t know at what point in the series this is, but it’s always seemed logical to me

@vicc.9008 Жыл бұрын

I know this video was made months ago, but I do want to point out one thing. I forget which episode, but Walter notes that he sees chemistry not at the study of reactions (or some other word) but as the study of change, which goes with how Walter himself ends up going through change.
