I was out at a dinner and someone asked pretty much the same thing as Gus did here and I just word for word quoted exactly what Walt said and everyone looked at me very impressed and I had to tell them haha. I said yea it’s from Breaking bad haha. They were actually still impressed for some reason lol.
god damn, I'm on google trying to understand how relational memory works and boom it's a video of the best antihero explaining it. TBH, I haven't completely understood what it is.Please help!
I think there is. Gus was trying to find some common ground with Walter and just start up some small talk. By mentioning how much the stew reminds him of his childhood. However, Walter decides just to show how smart he is by bringing up the thing with the hippocampus and neurons. To me, I think this scene is supposed to show how big Walter’s ego exactly is. Like Gus was literally talking about remembering his childhood with the stew. Trying to find some common ground with the man. But Walter had to show how much of a “genius” he is and brings up all this other stuff.
@@jonathanmendez6366 It's true that Walt was a fucking egomaniac. Which in fact was the thing that brought him down. For example, when his DEA brother in law was ready to throw in the towel and pin Heisenberg on Gale, he mentioned that upon perusing his notebook that Gale was a "genius". Walt couldn't bear the idea of Gale being labeled a genius. That singular moment reopened that can of worms and led to Walt being found out (that really fuckin pissed me off) However, small talk aside, Gustavo seemed interested enough to ask the question "How is that possible?" to which Walter knew the answer. Was it egotistical to answer the question thoroughly and educate the man?
@@jonathanmendez6366 Walter's pride is definitely central to the whole TV show. However, Giancarlo Esposito is a master of conveying meaning through microexpressions. Based on his character's face, I interpret the scene differently. I think it shows Gus as accustomed to being the smartest criminal in the show, and then he's suddenly shocked when he starts to realize how smart Walter is. Also, all of the nice, polite, and civilized behavior Gus displays is nothing more than a front for disguising his ruthless nature. He's never just "trying to find some common ground" with anyone.
@@jonathanmendez6366Walt does not have an ego. He's a narcissist but not an egomaniac. and gus is faking emotion here, He's a cold-blooded psychopath and has no emotion.
i got this question right on the mcat by remembering this
Happy to hear this!

Was there any significance to this scene?
I think there is.
