Breaking Bad - The Value of Human Life
This is a video essay about the morality of Breaking Bad and the value of human life in AMC's hit series starring Bryan Cranston and Aaron Paul. Breaking Bad is a character study of what humans value in life. Each character in Breaking Bad has a moral compass, but how do they make decisions?
In this video, I examine the best scenes and murders in the 'Breaking Bad' series, and the turning points in each season that highlights the decision-making process for the characters; their philosophy, how and why they choose to kill in each situation, and how weighted each choice is.
The cost of taking a human life has to filter through three factors; Pragmatism, Morality and Consequences. The characters are conflicted whenever all 3 factors cannot be satisfied.
