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.
In Kim, Jimmy aveva visto una compagna di vita, una compagna di giochi, un partner, un amante, un'amica, una persona con cui mettersi a nudo provando a mediare fra la sua anima dannata e quella beata. Kim riusciva a sfogare e trattenere, allo stesso tempo, i peggiori istinti di colui che sarebbe diventato Saul. La donna, era il contrappeso all'anima più nera e scivolosa dell'uomo. Senza di lei Jimmy è stato travolto da se stesso, come una valanga travolgerebbe un villaggio avanti a sè.
Gene ne era l'evoluzione dimessa e necessaria per restare in vita, la versione malinconica e spenta che, tuttavia, non avrebbe potuto far male ad una mosca pur di sopravvivere.
Viktor, invece, sembra costituire la scomparsa totale e definitiva di Jimmy. Il secondo, presunto, abbandono, consumato a distanza, in una rapida chiamata telefonica, non sembra essere sopportabile, tollerabile, ipotizzabile, men che meno da un Jimmy senza Kim ma ora anche senza Albuquerque, senza denaro, senza fama, senza successo e senza la sua strana e ricca professione.
Viktor è distante anni luce da Jimmy e, di conseguenza, anni luce da Kim.
Tornano alla conoscenza del linguaggio cinematografico da parte degli autori, che qui sublimano il concetto di "Show Don't Tell", la siderale distanza fra Kim e Jimmy viene testimoniata anche dalla scelta dei poli geografici da cui parte questa presunta telefonata.
Kim vive in Florida, paese assolato, caldo, colorato.
Jimmy, oramai trasformato in Gene, vive nel metaforico bianco e nero del Nebraska, regione freddissima, coperta di neve e qui raffigurata in tutto il suo grigiore.
C'è oramai tutto un mondo di significati, metaforici e non, che tiene lontanissimi Kim e Jimmy, sancendone definitivamente quella netta divisione che la donna aveva dichiarato, a malincuore e con l'animo spezzato, nel superbo Fun & Games.
E ritornando, ancora per un attimo ad un altro messaggio trasferito per immagini a noi spettatori da Gilligan e Gould, vi è anche un altro riferimento impeccabile in quella breve sequenza.
Gene prende a calci la cabina telefonica, come anni prima aveva preso a calci un bidone della spazzatura all'anticamera della HHM, nel primissimo episodio dello show.
Sapete chi c'era dall'altro lato della porta in quell'occasione? Chi fu la prima persona che Jimmy incontrò dopo quella sfuriata?
Come sempre vi aspetto su www.serialfiller.org.

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 in a new Preview of an article that in a few days or weeks you will see In the Mind of a SerialFiller, my blog focused entirely 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.
In Kim, Jimmy had seen a life partner, a playmate, a partner, a lover, a friend, a person with whom he could bare himself trying to mediate between his damned and blissful souls. Kim could vent and hold back, at the same time, the worst instincts of the man who would become Saul. The woman, she was the counterbalance to the man's blacker, more slippery soul. Without her Jimmy was swept away from himself, as an avalanche would sweep a village ahead of itself.
Saul Goodman was a wounded, angry and blindfolded evolution of Jimmy, of a wounded, lonely, abandoned, devastated Jimmy forced to take refuge inside a character whose mask he managed (and was forced) to wear h24 in order to stay away from the very painful memory of that unbearable absence.
Gene was the dim and necessary evolution of this in order to stay alive, the melancholy and dull version who, nevertheless, could not hurt a fly in order to survive.
Viktor, on the other hand, seems to constitute Jimmy's total and final demise. The second, alleged, abandonment, consummated at a distance, in a quick phone call, does not seem to be bearable, tolerable, conceivable, least of all by a Jimmy without Kim but now also without Albuquerque, without money, without fame, without success, and without his strange and rich profession.
Viktor is light years away from Jimmy and, consequently, light years away from Kim.
Returning to the authors' knowledge of the language of film, who here sublimate the concept of "Show Don't Tell," the sidereal distance between Kim and Jimmy is also evidenced by the choice of geographic poles from which this supposed phone call departs.
Kim lives in Florida, a sunny, warm, colorful country.
Jimmy, now transformed into Gene, lives in the metaphorical black and white of Nebraska, a very cold, snow-covered region depicted here in all its grayness.
There is now a whole world of meanings, metaphorical and otherwise, that keeps Kim and Jimmy far apart, definitively sanctioning that sharp division that she had declared, reluctantly and with a broken heart, in the superb Fun & Games.
And returning, just for a moment more to another message transferred in images to us viewers by Gilligan and Gould, there is also another impeccable reference in that brief sequence.
Gene kicks the phone booth, as years earlier he had kicked a garbage can at the anteroom of HHM, in the very first episode of the show.
Do you know who was on the other side of the door on that occasion? Who was the first person Jimmy met after that rant?
Kim. Just like now, on the other side of the receiver she was still hiding, this time in Florida and really out of Jimmy's reach just as she was then far away and out of Jimmy's reach for quite different reasons.
A lifetime has passed since that moment.
A love has swept over them both.
A choice wisely divided them.
One mask after another we lost Jimmy McGill, his humanity, his good-naturedness, his romantic and affable traits.
Kim killed Jimmy to prevent Jimmy from killing both of them.
3 Masks later, Jimmy became Viktor, passing through Saul and Gene and leaving within him not even a trace of that strange but mighty humanity that was inherent in Kim Wexler's companion when Howard was still alive and everything seemed to be possible.
