10 More Movie Endings With Disturbing Implications You Totally Missed
9. Jesse Can Never Start Over - El Camino
Six years after the epic finale of Breaking Bad, Jesse Pinkman returned with El Camino on Netflix. Following directly from Jesse's escape from Jack and Todd, the movie showed what happened next and gave fans closure on exactly how the character's story ended.
As was the case with both Walter White and Saul Goodman before him, Jesse utilised the talents of Ed and headed off into the distance with a new name and a new identity. After spending an entire movie tying up loose ends and scraping together the money for his new life, this was about as much as Jesse could have hoped for.
However, to call this a happy ending would be incredibly short sighted. After the trauma of what Jesse went through, there could be absolutely no starting over. He woke up next to Jane's body, he watched Andrea get shot in the head, he was a captor against his will, and he was mentally abused and manipulated; all of which are scars that simply will never heal.
No matter where Jesse could have gone, no matter what he chose to go by as his new name, there is no getting rid of the baggage that would make it impossible for him to live a normal life.
