Jesse Pinkman at the beginning of Breaking Bad is a 24-year-old who was Jesse Clips*
kicked out of high school and pursued a life into the drug business, making
a pretty good amount of money on his own selling crystal while cooking
and living in his deceased Aunt’s house. This documentary is going to be Jesse S1 house *
focusing on Jesse, and his fall into insanity through the course of 5 seasons
and 62 episodes of Breaking Bad. The story of Breaking Bad itself isn’t Jesse different look each season *
about Jesse it’s the story of Walter White and how such a simple man can Walter clips *
turn into a deadly one when he is placed in a different environment. That
being, the drug business. Walt is a very intelligent man and when he cooks
crystal he makes it to such a pure level that it is more desired than any Jesse and Walt partner up *
other being sold which he makes a living out of and secures Jesse as his
partner from the beginning.

Before we do anything let’s take a look at Aaron Paul, the actor for Jesse Aaron paul pictures and clips
Pinkman. Before Breaking Bad started in 2008 Aaron didn’t get too many

roles in shows. Usually showing up for a single episode or as a side
character but he did show up in the ‘Thoughtless’ music video by Korn in Thoughtless clips *
2002 and playing Scott Quittman in ‘Big Love’ he showed up in 14 episodes.

Aaron’s main career came during and after Breaking Bad. People
recognised his talent for acting and so he was able to secure lots more roles Jesse Pinkman clips *
after he started on Breaking Bad. Jesse Pinkman was supposed to be killed
off at the end of the first season of Breaking Bad but was decidedly kept on
due to Aaron’s phenomenal acting. From this, he went on to be in much
more shows and movies. The remake of ‘The Last House On The Left’ in
2009. ‘Need For Speed’ In 2014. The Path from 2016 to 2018. Black Mirror All these movies and TV clips ~
in 2017. Adam in 2020. West world from 2020 to 2022. And Central
intelligence in 2016 where they actually made a reference to Breaking Bad.
Lastly, I want to say that Aaron actually won three Emmy’s for his Aaron accepting his Emmy’s *
performance as Jesse Pinkman in 2010, 2012 and 2014.

‘The American Dream’ is a subject that effects all characters in Breaking Breaking Bad clips *
Bad but, I want to focus on how it effects Jesse and Walt the most. ‘The
American Dream’ is the idea and the desire to live a long life with a
beautiful family being financially stable enough to provide to your family
when they are in need and after death, and both Jesse and Walt clearly
show that they both aspire for ‘The American Dream’. Yes, Jesse and Walt
are both quite selfish and want a lot of the money for themselves but they
also both want to thrive and build a family with their partners. Walt is the
embodiment of striving ‘The American Dream’ since he’s already built his
family- he just needs the money. Jesse however is a character who is
always striving to be a good person which he somehow always messes up.
No matter how hard he tries he’ll always fall back into a bad place.
Metaphorically and physically.
Now I get to actually start talking about Breaking Bad and the influence of Breaking Bad clips *
Walter White. In Breaking Bad our two main characters are Walter White
and Jesse Pinkman, but, as I have said previously, Breaking Bad is the story
of Walter White and Jesse Pinkman is just along for the ride. Walter was Walt and Jesse *
Jesse’s chemistry teacher before he got kicked out and in the first episode
First interaction *
when they meet again you can see that Jesse can’t believe what Walt is
trying to pitch to him. Jesse always saw Walter as a quiet man and would ‘I am awake’ *
never expect him to approach him like this, in school Walt would always
try and help Jesse, seeing his potential but knowing that he would never ‘apply yourself’
try since he didn’t care enough about school or chemistry. After Jesse BB clips *
agrees, Walt gives him some chemistry knowledge since Jesse clearly never
listened in Walt’s lessons and Jesse can already noticed how serious Walt is
about this idea and how much he has changed since he knew him in high ‘you’re an artist’
school. They then make their first cook and Jesse is very impressed and can
see that Walt has great potential to make them both a lot of money. They BB clips *
know that they have their work cut out for them, and from this their
relationship starts brewing. Jesse very much respects Walt and begins to
treat him as a sort of father figure as whilst Jesse has been doing this for
ages, Walt does it once and is already a fantastic cook. They both have a
lot to learn from each other.

There are 62 episodes in Breaking Bad and both Jesse and Walt are
in every single one of them, so every episode has them either building or
collapsing their relationship, but usually for every step forward there are
two steps back. Walt and Jesse have an awfully toxic relationship and it’s J & W fighting clips
shown in almost every episode, even the first conversation they have First interaction *
together after high school is black mail! They argue in every conversation
as if it’s always a competition, they disagree with everything that each
other says and they simply can’t stand to be with each other for too long Pilot flashback
since they are both two completely contrasting dynamics that cannot
stand what each other say.

As I said before Jesse and Walter have an awfully toxic relationship. There ‘Blowfish’
are a lot of parts where Jesse sees Walter as a father figure and Walter
sees Jesse as a surrogate son, but that is usually corrupted into Walter
thinking he is smarter and has more power than Jesse. Jesse is very naive,
and Walter is very intelligent, and I think that Jesse’s stupidity makes
‘wire’
Walter want to help him sometimes but mostly it just upsets and angers
him. While occasionally Jesse will look up to Walt because knows a lot
more than him usually Jesse will just get annoyed because he knows how
hard he is trying. As for Walt, he is extremely manipulative, and their 4 days out, water scene
relationship changes based on how he wants it to change. If Walter needs
something done or to have changed and Jesse is the middleman, then Walt
can make that happen. Jesse looks up to Walt a lot more than Walt looks Full measure, ‘its gonna have to be you’
up to him, as while Jesse has more street smarts than Walt, Walt quickly
picks up on street smarts and becomes more intelligent than Jesse.

Here is where I get into the real bulk and grit of my documentary. I want to
speak about all the unfortunate mishaps that had affected Jesse Pinkman. Jesse clips *
Throughout the entire Breaking Bad series and how it bleeds into El

Camino: A Breaking Bad Movie. Of course, I’ll have to shorten this down a
lot due to there being way too much information to fit into a short Jesse clips *
documentary, but I will do it as best as I can. Season one, episode one:
Episode clips *
Pilot. In this first episode Walter sees Jesse during a drug bust, this is the
first time he’s seen him since teaching him at high school. Later on in the
evening, Walt blackmails Jesse into cooking with him. And this is where it
all begins. We find out Jesse is an addict who already smokes the crystal
that they cooked.
. In Season one, episode five: Gray Matter; Jesse and his friend try to cook Episode clips
a batch but Jesse can’t get it as good as Walter so keeps throwing it away
which breaks out into a fight between them. Later on, in episode six: Crazy

Jesse homeless, he can’t find a home after looking and ends up having to
break into the junk yard where his RV is kept. He falls into a porta-potty
and gets covered in chemicals which is where the infamous ‘Why are you
blue?’ scene comes from. Walt tells Jesse that his half doesn’t exist and
that its all Walt’s. After Jesse and Walt fight, Walt gives Jesse his half.
Through the rest of season two we meet Jane who becomes Jesse’s love

Gustavo Fring who becomes their distributor. Despite Jane being in rehab Jesse tries heroin *

Later Walt goes back to Jesse’s house and Jane throws up and chokes on Jane death scene
her own vomit. Walt could have saved her, but he didn’t. Season two,
episode thirteen: ABQ; Jesse wakes up, finds Jane tries to do CPR but it Episode clips
doesn’t work. Later Walt visits Jesse in a crack house and they have a very
emotional moment. Season three, episode thirteen: ‘Full Measure’ Walt
makes Jesse kill Gale in order to save his life, this really affects Jesse and Episode clips
even gives him PTSD. Season three, episode six: Sunset; Hank spies on Episode clips
Jesse and tracks the RV. While Hank is investigating, he gets a fake call
from the hospital about his wife. Season three, episode seven: One Episode clips
Minute; Hank shows up to Jesse’s house, thinking it was him who made the
fake call, beats Jesse up and gets him sent to hospital. This is where
another heart-breaking scene plays. In season four episode 2: ‘Thirty-Eight Episode clips
Snub’; Jesse starts using again, he starts non-stop partying, and this is
Episode clips
where the ‘speaker’ scene comes from. In season four, episode twelve: End
Times; Jesse’s girlfriend’s son is poisoned and Jesse believes that it is
Walter but Walt convinces him that it wasn’t. In season five, episode
eleven: confessions; Jesse finds out that it was Walt that had poisoned Episode clips
Brock all along and so Jesse pours gasoline all in Walt’s home. Season five, Episode clips

lead by Jack Welker. Episode fourteen: Ozymandias; Jack kills Hank and his
partner and then. Take Jesse and torture him, then use him to cook for
them. Episode fifteen: Granite State; Jesse tries to escape but fails, and
Episode clips
then Todd who is in Jack’s gang kills Andrea. Season five, final episode:
Felina; In this episode we are shown a flashback of Jesse at his highest
making a small wooden chest looking the happiest we have ever seen in
this show, then an abrupt transition plays where it shows Jesse looking
worse than ever in Jack’s lab. Later on, Walt shows up with an offer looking
unrecognisable to anyone and kills the gang, excluding Todd with a make-
shift gun turret. Jesse then uses his own chains to kill Todd. After this, Walt
and Jesse finally part ways and we see a very emotional scene with
fantastic acting by Aaron Paul. This final Jesse scene bleeds into El Camino
really well as if it was recorded in the same time. El camino transition
After this, Walter dies from a bullet wound and the five-year series comes Episode clips
to a close. ‘The rise and fall of Jesse Pinkman’ is a bit of an overstatement
Jesse clips
to say the least, because there was not much of a rise but there was a
huge fall, below rock bottom. Jesse’s rose happened occasionally over the
series. When he stopped using for a while and went to rehab, or when he
was taken out to run errands with Mike and stopped using then. Jesse’s
true rise to peace happens in El Camino, but I’m not doing that now. Jesse in Alaska
Jesse Pinkman is a poor character, a misjudged character, a kid who just Jesse clips
wants to do good but always seems to run into trouble. Throughout
Breaking Bad it seems like Jesse never had a choice, like people were
moving him around without giving him his own decisions and he doesn’t
even get his good ending until after Breaking Bad in El Camino. I think the
character Jesse Pinkman is absolutely fantastic and works so well with the
character for Walter White. Of course, Aaron Paul’s acting affects this, and
Jesse would not be the same character without Aaron. Jesse Pinkman is
one of my favourites characters in media he is made so well to be who he
is. And what he is, is tortured.
