#because there is something lachoesque

[themadknightuniverse]

So, I'm watching the commentary of BCS S5E3

And I'm only understanding something they did here and it's ruining me completely. So I stop to write about it, because when am I not. Also maybe this point has already been analyzed by someone before, I absolutely didn't look for it so if it has been done, sorry!

The thing is : What they explain in this commentary is that the garage in which Jimmy meets Lalo, brought there by Nacho and Blingy, is the same place where Nacho gets taken care of by the vet and the twins. So okay, same place. But, there is a parallel I had yet to make here.

What they specify in the commentary is "We wanted to show Lalo working on his car, and even though we don't really feature it, he is replacing a part in his car". So Lalo, is replacing a piece of his car by another one, just like Nacho has been given the blood of a Salamanca to replace a part of his own.

And now when I see Lalo, bent over his car in that garage, hands stained with oil, it's impossible for me not to see a direct parallel to that surgical operation. It looks like a symbolic representation of him doing the change to Nacho. And it just makes my brain explode.

And if I push my point, having Nacho patiently waiting there, looking as Lalo works on his car, perfectly composed and calm, holds something very strange. Some kind of a distance to what happened to him maybe? I dono, I can't really pinpoint why it makes me feel how I feel.

Also, I tried to see if the spot Lalo is repairing his car is the exact same one Nacho has been treated, but it's hard to tell. I think Nacho was in the other half of the garage, since we can't see the sink along the wall (judging by the distance with the wall he's either where Blingy's car is in S5E3 or before the white tiny room in the far corner beside Lalo's car. So he wouldn't have been treated in the exact same spot anyway)

Also the square ray of light reminds me of the one used to make x-ray in radiology (many broken bones person here hello). So, something also linked to medicine. This is purely a personal analysis tho, they don't say anything about specific the light precisely in the commentary. But the fact that it illuminate Nacho during the entire scene or so, uh. Interesting.

Of course it also has that theater performance light to it. Nacho and Lalo both performing an formidable act of synchronicity and complicity during this whole scene. God I could speak about their synergy in this scene for hours but I will not make this any longer, it's a very different points from this surgical parallel anyway.

Anyway, one of my absolute favorite scene from BCS, given yet another layer of analysis, I'm delighted.
