By: Justin Martinez

El Camino: A breaking bad movie, a follow up of the breaking bad franchise and it’s followed up events. The film starts off by showing Jesse the protagonist of the movie trying to make amends with his family and his friends. While at the same time trying to make a new identity and runaway to Alaska, starting a new life. Known as trying to start a meth empire in Albuquerque, New Mexico and then even allying with the Mexico cartel. Walter White being the main cook of the whole business that managed to create batches of 99.1% pure methamphetamine.

Jesse being a drug addict known for cooking and selling methamphetamine, also known as the cap’n; was a fugitive running from the police. The movie sets place in Albuquerque, New Mexico after the events of Breaking Bad. In the last season of Breaking Bad the series ends with the protagonist of the show dying after being shot by his own bullet. In the end Walter White ended up regretting the actions that he committed because in the end he lost everything he had. His family, his friends, everyone he ever loved all ended up despising him and cutting him off completely.

In the end Jesse ends up running away to Alaska with a fake new identity. Running away from the police, the DEA, and his past. In El Camino he comes across his old two friends. Pete and badger being his two best friends who also helped him distribute the meth he was cooking in the beginning before he moved on to being a cook for Gustavo Fring. More on that later though.

When Jesse finds his old friends again, after months of being captured and hold as a prisoner. He was a very known fugitive at that point in time too, so he didn’t have time to do much. His friends saw the state he was in and decided to help him by offering him a shower, new clothes, food and giving him their car. When Jesse was cooking with his partner Walter H White, they were both working under a man named Gustavo Fring who was the leader of the business. The reason why Walter got into that business was due to the fact he had recently been treated with lung cancer and he had two years to live.

So, he decided that before he died, he wanted to leave his family with money so they wouldn’t have to struggle in the future. But in the process, he lost everyone, the money, and his own life. Jesse had already been cooking meth and selling it before meeting Walter but when he did that’s when everything in his life took an even bigger turn for the worse. He ended up losing the love of his parents, both the girls’ he had dated ended dying in front of him, had to runaway from the police, and ended up all alone tragically. On the chase from the police forever.
