Heart-Shattering Breaking Bad Scene That Brought Krysten Ritter To Her Feet
One Breaking Bad that finally showed what kind of person Walter White is.
The critically acclaimed television series created by Vince Gilligan, Breaking Bad, featured some of the coolest moments in the history of TV — from unexpected twists to heartbreaking deaths.
In an interview to Inside Of You, Krysten Ritter remembered her reaction to the scene of her character's death.
Krysten Ritter played Jane Margolis, Jesse Pinkman's girlfriend and a fellow addict, who played a crucial role in Jesse's life.
Krysten Ritter says she was shocked when she saw the final result — the scene where her character dies after overdose.
According to Ritter, she was so amazed by the result, that she couldn't help but stand at her feet. Krysten Ritter felt very excited for being a part of such a great show.
The scene in question was indeed a big moment on the show that led to few grave consequences.
The power of this scene lies in Walter's choice to let Jane die. In an unexpected turn of events, Jane overdoses on heroin and begins choking on her own vomit while lying on her back.
Walter, who finds himself at the scene, has an opportunity to save her but instead chooses to watch her die.
This moment marks a significant turning point for Walter's character and sets the stage for the remainder of the series.
Throughout the series, we witness Walter's descent into darkness as he becomes increasingly driven by his ambition, pride, and the belief that he is doing whatever it takes to protect his family.
In this particular moment, Walter sees an opportunity to eliminate Jesse's relationship with Jane, whom he perceives as a bad influence on Jesse's life.
He rationalizes his decision by convincing himself that saving Jane would perpetuate Jesse's addiction and put their entire operation at risk.
Walter's choice to let Jane die is a pivotal moment that highlights the moral gray area in which the characters operate. It showcases the lengths to which Walter is willing to go, blurring the lines between protagonist and antagonist.
So it's no wonder Ritter was so shocked by the scene (and so were we) as it was a real turning point on the show.
