Similarly for me, it was heart wrenching to hear Walt jr say "why don't you just... DIE already?" And hear Walt on the other end pleading that it can't all be for nothing... You can point out that he admitted he did it for himself, but he would have never gone down the meth path without the motivation of death being around the corner and his family being left with nothing.

He did do it for himself, that was what the first part of season 5 showed us. He could have stopped prior to saying he was in the empire business, but he kept at it. he could of worked for gus and just made enough money and got out. But he wanted it all and dealt with the consequences.

I thought he had good intentions until Skylar left him at the end of season 3.

Oliver Stone:
There’s too much violence in our movies – and it’s all unreal to me. I don’t know if you saw the denouement [of Breaking Bad], I happen to not watch the series very much, but I happened to tune in and I saw the most ridiculous 15 minutes of a movie -- it would be laughed off the screen. Nobody could park his car right then and there and could have a machine gun that could go off perfectly and kill all of the bad guys! It would be a joke. It’s only in the movies that you find this kind of fantasy violence. And that’s infected the American culture; you young people believe all of this shit! Batman and Superman, you’ve lost your minds, and you don ‘t even know it! At least respect violence. I’m not saying don’t show violence, but show it with authenticity.
I understand what he's aying, but Oliver Stone lecturing the people about violence & authenticity in the movies...???

Plus this seems pretty contradictory coming within sentences of each other. It would be laughed off the screen if it were a movie but it's also the kind of violence you see in movies? Huh?

What made it better for me was that Walt ended up getting hit. It wasn't just this clean thing where he got away.
