\u0218i da, Breaking Bad<\/strong> \u0219i Better Call Saul<\/strong> spun povestea aceleia\u0219i lumi aparent mici, dar \u00een realitate enigmatice \u0219i periculoase, din Albuquerque, New Mexico, ora\u0219 de grani\u021b\u0103, unde drogurile circul\u0103 \u00een moduri surprinz\u0103toare \u0219i te treze\u0219ti atras \u00een capcana lor chiar dac\u0103 tu e\u0219ti cea mai (aparent) benign\u0103 \u0219i inofensiv\u0103 figur\u0103 din \u201dlumea bun\u0103\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Dac\u0103 ai v\u0103zut cele dou\u0103 seriale, ignor\u0103 cele dou\u0103 paragrafe de prezentare – da, \u0219tiu, nu \u021bi-am spus nimic nou – \u0219i hai s\u0103 trecem direct la subiect. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Eu prefer Better Call Saul<\/strong>. \u0218i iat\u0103 de ce. <\/p>\n\n\n\n A) Un personaj \u00een care m\u0103 reg\u0103sesc. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Walter White e un asshole. Chiar de la \u00eenceputuri, c\u00e2nd pred\u0103 chimie \u0219i are c\u0103s\u0103toria aia \u00eengrozitor de toxic\u0103 cu o femeie care transmite prin to\u021bi porii c\u0103 i se consider\u0103 mult superioar\u0103, sunt semne mici care \u00eei tr\u0103deaz\u0103 caracterul. Modul \u00een care \u00eel bag\u0103 \u00een rahat pe omul de serviciu de la \u0219coal\u0103, singurul care \u00eei ar\u0103ta empatie, e un clue scenaristic legat de crimele pe care le va comite liber dup\u0103 ce prinde tupeu. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Da, pot aprecia perfec\u021biunea construc\u021biei narative \u0219i a evolu\u021biei personajului, \u0219i s\u0103 \u00eel detest din r\u0103runchi. A\u0219a sunt eu, complex\u0103 emo\u021bional. \ud83d\ude00 <\/p>\n\n\n\n Jimmy McGill, care devine pas cu pas Saul Goodman, e o minun\u0103\u021bie de personaj. Pe de o parte, are un suflet de aur \u0219i e numai bun\u0103tate \u0219i umanitate, pe de alta, e atras de tic\u0103lo\u0219ie \u0219i de crim\u0103 ca fierul de magnet. Modul \u00een care poate fi \u00een acela\u0219i timp o inim\u0103 de aur \u0219i o c*rv\u0103 de om e ceea ce m\u0103 orienteaz\u0103 spre Better Call Saul<\/strong>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n E Jimmy un personaj mai bine scris dec\u00e2t Walter? Nu. Se urm\u0103resc fire narative diferite, \u0219i Vince Gilligan vrea s\u0103 spun\u0103 altceva cu fiecare personaj \u00een parte. E Jimmy eroul de care \u00ee\u021bi pas\u0103 ca spectator? DA. <\/p>\n\n\n\n B) O poveste de iubire mai captivant\u0103. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Rela\u021bia dintre Walter \u0219i Skyler e printre cele mai infecte uniuni v\u0103zute vreodat\u0103 pe micul ecran. \u0218i nu critic serialul: povestea are nevoie de un b\u0103rbat \u0219i o femeie absolut oribili unul pentru cel\u0103lalt. Nonetheless, nu \u00eei suport \u00eempreun\u0103. Minciunile lui cusute cu a\u021b\u0103 alb\u0103, sarcasmele ei enervante – \u0219i au \u0219i ales o actri\u021b\u0103 \u00eengrozitor de antipatic\u0103, Anna Gunn, perfect\u0103 \u00een rol, dar vitriol pur pentru ochii omului – creeaz\u0103 o tensiune valid\u0103 artistic, dar enervant\u0103 cu draci personal. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Jimmy \u0219i Kim, prietena lui avocat care \u00eei e ca o sor\u0103 \u0219i confident\u0103, \u0219i treptat \u00eei devine asociat\u0103, apoi iubit\u0103, apoi so\u021bie, apoi du\u0219man, apoi regret, e genul de poveste de dragoste care \u00een care m\u0103 investesc. Nu mi-e clar de la ce s-au luat Walter \u0219i Skyler, de au ajuns acel cuplu absolut oribil, \u0219i admit c\u0103 nici nu m\u0103 intereseaz\u0103, dar mi se sf\u00e2\u0219ie inima c\u00e2nd Jimmy \u0219i Kim ajung la concluzia c\u0103 nu sunt buni unul pentru cel\u0103lalt. <\/p>\n\n\n\n C) Rudele na\u0219pa<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n Mi se pare c\u0103 e o paralel\u0103 \u00eentre Hank, cumnatul lui Walter, poli\u021bistul care \u00ee\u0219i petrece cinci sezoane la b\u0103ute cu traficantul de droguri pe care \u00eel caut\u0103 disperat, \u0219i adev\u0103rul e acolo sub nasul lui, dar Hank e prea arogant s\u0103-l vad\u0103, \u0219i Chuck McGill, fratele mai mare \u0219i absolut detestabil al lui Jimmy. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Problema e c\u0103 Breaking Bad \u00eencearc\u0103 s\u0103 ne investeasc\u0103 \u00een rela\u021bia dintre Walter \u0219i Hank, \u0219i \u00een Hank ca personaj, chit c\u0103 Hank e oribil: vulgar, sc\u00e2rbos, arogant, orbit de autosuficien\u021b\u0103, violent f\u0103r\u0103 motiv, \u0219i mai e \u0219i c\u0103s\u0103torit cu vaca aia mitoman\u0103 care ar merita \u00eempu\u0219cat\u0103 din mers. Da, Breaking Bad <\/strong>\u00ee\u021bi livreaz\u0103 personaje at\u00e2t de vomitive, \u00eenc\u00e2t lumea drogurilor pare benign\u0103 prin compara\u021bie. Din nou, valid artistic, enervant pe plan personal. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Better Call Saul <\/strong>nu \u00eencearc\u0103 s\u0103 ni-l v\u00e2nd\u0103 nicio secund\u0103 pe Chuck ca pe un erou care ar trebui s\u0103 ne plac\u0103. Isteric, melodramatic, ipohondru, arogant \u0219i mincinos. \u00cei saboteaz\u0103 din start cariera fratelui s\u0103u, \u0219i \u00eei justific\u0103 o parte dintre alegeri. \u0218tiu, e mai simplist dec\u00e2t Breaking Bad<\/strong>, unde Walter are mereu op\u021biuni, \u0219i alege r\u0103ul pentru c\u0103 \u00een realitate \u00eei place. Dar strict personal, uneori sunt fana simplit\u0103\u021bii. <\/p>\n\n\n\n D) Antagoni\u0219ti mai interesan\u021bi <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n \u00cen Breaking Bad<\/strong>, singurul antagonist care prime\u0219te timp \u0219i o personalitate captivant\u0103 e Gus Fring. \u00cen rest, sunt fie nebuni \u0219i insuportabili (Tuco \u0219i Hector Salamanca), fie retarda\u021bi \u0219i insuportabili (ga\u0219ca lui Jesse, gemenii Salamanca, Todd \u0219i unchiu-su), fie insuportabili f\u0103r\u0103 motiv, doar au fe\u021bele alea care cer palme (Victor, omul lui Gus). \u0218i cei care promit, cum sunt Krazy-8 sau Jane, prietena drogat\u0103 a lui Jesse, mor mult prea repede. <\/p>\n\n\n\n \u00cen Better Call Saul,<\/strong> avem antagoni\u0219ti absolut \u00eenc\u00e2nt\u0103tori \u0219i nespus de interesan\u021bi, ca Nacho Varga \u0219i Lalo Salamanca. Jucat de un star carismatic de telenovele mexicane, Tony Dalton, Lalo Salamanca are cel mai cuceritor z\u00e2mbet latino de la Ricky Martin \u00eencoace. E adorabil, gra\u021bios, manierat, sensibil, ajut\u0103 babele s\u0103 treac\u0103 grani\u021ba – p\u00e2n\u0103 c\u00e2nd ceva \u00eei afecteaz\u0103 interesele de mafiot \u0219i atunci devine cringe \u0219i crazy pur. Nacho e un b\u0103iat bun \u0219i frumos, dar care \u00ee\u0219i pierde complet controlul asupra propriei vie\u021bi prin alegeri neinspirate, \u0219i prin personajul lui, Gilligan reu\u0219e\u0219te o performan\u021b\u0103 similar\u0103 cu a lui Jimmy \/ Saul: s\u0103 te fac\u0103 s\u0103 vezi concomitent tot binele \u0219i tot r\u0103ul dintr-un om. <\/p>\n\n\n\n E) Stilul cinematografic. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Asta deja e fi\u021b\u0103, \u0219tiu. \u00cen Breaking Bad<\/strong>, Gilligan e interesat mai mult s\u0103 spun\u0103 povestea, iar stilul e \u00een limitele necesarului \u0219i suficientului. \u00cen Better Call Saul,<\/strong> avem op\u021biuni estetice clare: modul \u00een care ne e filmat Gene, personajul din prezent al lui Jimmy, \u00een alb-negru \u0219i cu mult prim plan, vs. modul \u00een care e cadrat trecutul, ca o fresc\u0103; alegerile muzicale, camera work care \u00eembin\u0103 umorul situa\u021bional \u0219i arta. Din nou: irelevant pentru poveste, dar un r\u0103sf\u0103\u021b pentru spectator. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Nu voi nega niciodat\u0103 calitatea excep\u021bional\u0103 a lui Breaking Bad<\/strong>. E unul dintre cele mai bune seriale din toate timpurile. Dar dac\u0103 a\u0219 alege pe care s\u0103-l rev\u0103d, jetonul meu e pe Better Call Saul.<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n ***<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u00ce\u021bi place s\u0103 cite\u0219ti aceste articole?
