“Death of an Ortolan: A Gripping Tale of Guilt, Gourmet Secrets, and Redemption in the Shadows”
Meanwhile, Walter’s assistant brings Reed his last meal. I’m not convinced at all that that’s the right way to go. For maximum emotional impact, we should’ve seen Walter make and bring Reed his last meal. We should’ve also shown him watch Reed’s execution. That’s way more important, based on what the movie set up, than screwing over the president.
That seems like a pretty obvious choice to me.
Despite that, I thought the script was really well crafted and it was successful in the main thing it was trying to do – which was make us fall in love with Reed, make us care about Reed and Walter’s friendship, and make us want to keep turning the pages to find out what happened to them.
