Synopsis "A Guidebook To 'Breaking Bad' Filming Locations: Albuquerque as Physical Setting and Indispensable Character (in English)"
This book provides a systematic approach to visiting filming locations for AMC's hit television series "Breaking Bad." Albuquerque-area locations are presented by neighborhoods and in circuits that exploit their order and proximity for efficient tours. This Fifth Edition of the book is a condensation of the filming-location information presented at 'Marc Valdez Weblog' (http: //marcvaldez.blogspot.com). A number of different enthusiasts have contributed to this book to help give people a better understanding of the geographic, historical, and cultural setting for the TV series. Personal reminisces and anecdotes are interspersed with historical information regarding Albuquerque and its complicated interactions with the television series. The author lives in Sacramento, California, but was born in Albuquerque and raised in nearby Corrales. Chief contributor is Sven Joli. Brian T. Bailey and Tom Lamb contributed illustrations. Vince Gilligan's Albuquerque closely-resembles the real Albuquerque, but in fact it's an artistic creation - a remapping, a kind of projection or hologram, that endlessly fascinates. Understanding Vince Gilligan's Albuquerque requires an understanding of the real city - this book can help - but that's only the beginning. There are deeper processes and ambitions at work - and this book can help with that understanding too. Presented for the first time together with this Fifth Edition is a sister book -"'Breaking Bad' Signs and Symbols: Reading Meaning into Sets, Props, and Filming Locations" - on how the creative team tells stories in the backgrounds of scenes using elements of Albuquerque architecture, particularly those elements deriving from Chicago. Of particular note are stories about Chicago's "Century of Progress" and the disappointing legacies of modernity in America.
