Questo è il link futuro del post che vi sto invitando a leggere nei prossimi giorni su www.serialfiller.org e che qui è in anteprima

Come di consueto oggi vi porto dentro una nuova Anteprima di un articolo che fra qualche giorno o settimana vedrete Nella Mente di un SerialFiller, il mio blog interamente incentrato sul mondo delle serie tv e di cui, da qualche mese, ho deciso di regalarvi costantemente, in anticipo su quello che pubblicherò, gran parte dei post che vedrete su www.serialfiller.org.

Quello sarà l'ultimo atto cinico e bastardo a cui Kim sarà costretta prima di effettuare la sua Scelta, e sarà, forse, anche l'atto che le consentirà di chiudere gli occhi, tirare un lungo sospiro e lanciarsi nella decisione più drammatica della sua esistenza: rinunciare all'uomo che ama e che l'ha fatta sentire viva.
Gli autori creano il substrato per quella Scelta da episodi, da anni. Ce ne accorgiamo solo il 19 Luglio quanto grande, maestoso, puntiglioso sia stato il piano di Gilligan e Gould per regalare a Kim un'uscita degna e dignitosa, coerente col personaggio ma spiazzante, intensissima, profonda e, forse soprattutto, in grado di dare un senso a Jimmy tanto quanto a Saul.
Quel bacio nel garage della HHM è stato un dolce presagio, un presagio di addio, di fine, di congedo di Kim, di quella versione di Kim che abbiamo conosciuto ed amato in questi 6 anni, tanto noi quanto Jimmy.
Cosi come Saul, anche Kim ha vissuto, in fondo, 2 vite in queste stagioni. Una da avvocato in rampa di lancio, perfetto arciere della giustizia, fidato vassallo dei principi del foro, difensore di indifesi e di corporazioni ma sempre dal lato delle regole, delle norme, del diritto.

Nelle parole di Kim, in quelle ultime parole di Kim, ho scorto molto di un dialogo iconico di Walter White insieme a sua moglie Skyler nel finale di Breaking Bad. E' un dialogo che tutti ricorderete in cui WW ammetteva, per la prima volta a sua moglie (e soprattutto a se stesso) di aver fatto tutto quello che ha fatto non per la famiglia (o almeno non solo) ma soprattutto (o forse solo) per se stesso. Quel famoso "I was Alive" di Walter White, sovrapposto a quel tragico "I was so much fun" di Kim (ultime parole pronunciate verso Jimmy e all'interno dello show) ci racconta di 2 persone, diversissime fra loro e che hanno compiuto atti diversissimi fra loro (WW è diventato un signore della droga, ha ucciso direttamente altre persone, architettato omicidi ed altri atti criminali, Kim è stata "solo" una che, indirettamente, si è macchiata le mani del sangue di Howard tra tutti) ma che, nel loro ultimo atto, nel loro commiato agli spettatori ed alla serie, hanno ammesso di aver compiuto determinate azioni per soddisfare il proprio ego, per sentirsi vivi, per abbandonare quello stato catatonico, piatto e vuoto in cui loro, e tutti i "Mr. Chip" di questo modo si trovavano prima degli eventi narrati in Breaking Bad e Better Call Saul.
Questa analogia amplifica ulteriormente il lavoro certosino fatto dagli autori ma è nel chiudere il cerchio di Kim senza spezzare quello di Jimmy/Saul che sta il vero capolavoro.

Erano anni che ci chiedevamo in che modo Kim sarebbe uscita di scena. Il primo pensiero è sempre stato cruento. Kim sarebbe morta ma avremmo dovuto attendere gli ultimi episodi per capire per mano di chi ed in che modo. Questo, però, avrebbe spiegato non benissimo il motivo dell'evoluzione di Jimmy in Saul. Se Kim fosse morta, per di più assassinata per mano dei Salamanca o di Fring o di qualche altro criminale, come avrebbe potuto Jimmy trasformarsi in Saul, dimenticandosi completamente di quella parte gentile e innamorata che in Better Call Saul è spesso emersa proprio in funzione di Kim?

This is the future link to the post that I am inviting you to read in the coming days at www.serialfiller.org and which is previewed here

As usual, today I am bringing you inside a new Preview of a post that in a few days or weeks you will see In the Mind of a SerialFiller, my blog entirely focused on the world of TV series and of which, for the past few months, I have decided to give you constantly, in advance of what I will publish, most of the posts you will see at www.serialfiller.org.

The vigil in Howard's honor is the last and final straw, the one after which the vase overflows, the water soaks the parquet floor, swelling it, rotting it, damaging it irreparably.
In order to protect Jimmy, in order to prevent him from a dead-end situation, Kim takes on a moral burden as enormous as an Egyptian pyramid. The woman looks Howard's widow in the eye, convincing her that unfortunately that meek, good, righteous, morose, and clean Howard was not the real Howard but that the real Howard was a disturbed, depressed, drug-addicted, sick man prey to addictions.
That will be the last cynical and bastardly act Kim will be forced to before she makes her Choice, and it will, perhaps, also be the act that will allow her to close her eyes, let out a long sigh, and launch herself into the most dramatic decision of her existence: to give up the man she loves and who made her feel alive.
The authors create the substrate for that Choice by episodes, by years. We don't realize until July 19 how great, majestic, punctilious Gilligan and Gould's plan was to give Kim a dignified and dignified exit, consistent with character but disorienting, most intense, profound and, perhaps most of all, able to make sense of Jimmy as much as Saul.Saul's that the real masterpiece lies.We had been wondering for years how Kim would exit the scene. The first thought was always bloody. Kim would die but we would have to wait until the last episodes to find out at the hands of whom and in what manner. This, however, would have explained not very well why Jimmy evolved into Saul. If Kim had died, moreover murdered at the hands of the Salamanca or Fring or some other criminal, how could Jimmy have turned into Saul, completely forgetting the kind and loving part that in Better Call Saul often emerged precisely as a function of Kim
That kiss in the HHM garage was a sweet omen, an omen of farewell, of the end, of Kim's farewell, of that version of Kim that we have known and loved over the past 6 years, as much as we have loved Jimmy.
So too, like Saul, Kim has lived, after all, 2 lives these seasons. One as a lawyer on the launching pad, perfect archer of justice, trusted vassal of the principles of the bar, defender of the defenseless and corporations but always on the side of rules, norms, and law. The second, more nuanced, more irreverent, more dual, but also more intense, real, vivid, rhythmic, and passionate is the one with Jimmy, a life lived to the fullest and for that reason so difficult to abandon, to sever. The Choice is thus even more dramatic, even richer in meaning, precisely because it drags with it an unparalleled sacrifice, to kill yourself, a version of yourself, a happy version, lest that version of you and your beloved Jimmy's version of you can bring about other nefarious problems to third persons.

In those last words of Kim's, I discerned much of an iconic dialogue of Walter White with his wife Skyler in the finale of Breaking Bad. It is a dialogue you will all remember in which WW admitted for the first time to his wife (and especially to himself) that he did everything he did not for the family (or at least not only) but mostly (or perhaps only) for himself. That famous "I was Alive" by Walter White, superimposed on that tragic "I was so much fun" by Kim (last words spoken toward Jimmy and within the show) tells us about 2 people, very different from each other and who performed very different acts from each other (WW became a drug lord, directly killed other people, engineered murders and other criminal acts, Kim was "only" one who, indirectly, stained her hands with Howard's blood among all) but who, in their last act, in their farewell to the viewers and the series, admitted that they performed certain acts to satisfy their egos, to feel alive, to leave that catatonic, flat and empty state in which they, and all "Mr. Chip" of this mode were before the events narrated in Breaking Bad and Better Call Saul.
This analogy further amplifies the painstaking work done by the writers but it is in closing Kim's circle without breaking Jimmy/Saul's that the real masterpiece lies.

We had been wondering for years how Kim would exit the scene. The first thought was always gory. Kim would die but we would have to wait until the last episodes to find out at the hands of whom and in what way. This, however, would have explained not very well why Jimmy evolved into Saul. If Kim had died, moreover murdered at the hands of the Salamanca or Fring or some other criminal, how could Jimmy have turned into Saul, completely forgetting the kind and loving part that in Better Call Saul often emerged precisely as a function of Kim?
If Kim had rebelled against Jimmy, perhaps denouncing him, perhaps disavowing their criminal acts always concocted together, how would it have been justifiable for Saul never to have had a collision in Breaking Bad with the figure of a woman who had betrayed him?
Kim and Jimmy would have seen, sooner or later, separate paths. The how could have been varied. The authors' choice to have Kim Wexler make that specific, unique, irrevocable Choice leaves nothing unsaid, admits of no smearing, and requires no further explanation.
Kim leaves Saul. She does so after thinking it through. She does it with her heart choked in her throat. She does so after suffering a trauma (Howard's death) that should leave no person indifferent. Breaking the very strong bond with Jimmy, Kim kills Jimmy and gives birth to Saul but, most importantly, Kim saves what is left of Kim, surviving herself and projecting herself, like Jessie in the final scene of Breaking Bad, into a future yet to be written that we may never know, at least until the next spinoff.
