    walt was left two copies of the this film in it, there a speech spoken by dustin hoffman
    When King Lear dies in Act V, do you know what Shakespeare has written? He's written "He dies." That's all, nothing more. No fanfare, no metaphor, no brilliant final words. The culmination of the most influential work of dramatic literature is "He dies." It takes Shakespeare, a genius, to come up with "He dies." And yet every time I read those two words, I find myself overwhelmed with dysphoria. And I know it's only natural to be sad, but not because of the words "He dies." but because of the life we saw prior to the words… I've lived all five of my acts, Mahoney, and I am not asking you to be happy that I must go. I'm only asking that you turn the page, continue reading... and let the next story begin. And if anyone asks what became of me, you relate my life in all its wonder, and end it with a simple and modest "He died."

    You had to post a quote from another film to illustrate that Walter White died?

    I'd never have been able to work that out for myself. Thanks

    some people were disappointed about the lack of drama around his death, the point of including a reference to that speech is that there's no point making a drama out of his death it was what he did when he was alive that mattered.

    My main problem was that the finale felt more like a conclusion to season 5 than a series finale. It's a little like LOST. Does that make sense?

    God what else do you guys want?

    Walt got a Shakespearean send off, and it was good enough for me! We all die, it's how you live your life that matters.

    I don't think anyone is disputing the fact that Walt dies. It's more to illustrate how layered the show is but way to miss the point.
