As you’ve probably noticed, I didn’t use a picture of Jesse in this post. I’ve decided to honour an amazing actor whom we lost a few days ago. For Robert Forster “El Camino” was the last film he played in and it really hurt to watch it knowing he’s not with us anymore. Thank you very much, Mr. Forster, for your every role. You will be incredibly missed. In today’s film he played a supporting part, but I think it’s important to appreciate him for it. However, I know you expect me to comment on the film, so I will proceed with that. First of all, don’t watch it if you haven’t seen “Breaking Bad” series. It’s a lovely production made especially for the fans and you can feel it from the very beginning. I watched the series a long time ago and watching “El Camino” made me feel a bit of nostalgia. The film is some kind of a continuation of the series. We find out what happened to Jesse (Aaron Paul) after the finale “Breaking Bad.” He runs away from the Brotherhood compound and tries to “restart” his life. Obviously, it’s not that easy. Later we get plenty of flashbacks to what was happening to him before. Generally, it’s an emotional film showing the transformation of Jesse. We all remember him as a total kiddo in the series, but here we get the continuation of the story in which he becomes a sensible man. I don’t think it’s a bad production but, as I’ve read it somewhere, nothing would happen if it wasn’t made. It’s just a sweet gift for the fans and I don’t mind it. It didn’t excite me that much, but still thank you for this small reminder.
