I recently rewatched the scene of Chuck’s meltdown in the courtroom, and I noticed something that I hadn’t thought about before. Maybe this is common knowledge, but idk so I’ll put it out there anyway. When he dives into his whole spiel, he wasn’t looking at the bar associates, and he seems to zone out and forget he was talking to them in the first place. I don’t think he was looking at Jimmy either because he’s talking about him in the third person, and if he were making direct eye contact the whole time, he would probably address Jimmy rather than talk about him. Chuck does still look in one direction the whole time he speaks, and I think he was looking at Rebecca. Having scene the flashback of when the three had dinner, it was clear that he had hoped she would find him as unchaining as he does, but when Rebecca ended up liking Jimmy, he never really is honest about his feelings about his brother. Chuck was jealous of how much everyone else loved Jimmy, especially their mom. And that frustration must’ve really built when even his own wife didn’t see Jimmy as the destructive person Chuck saw him as. However, we do see Chuck attempt to be like Jimmy with his lawyer joke that flopped, so obviously he doesn’t want Rebecca to think of him as a cold lawyer out to get his brother. So he’s not just going off on a rant to the courtroom, but rather trying to explain to Rebecca who he sees Jimmy as and why he’s doing what he’s doing, which is what Jimmy wanted him to do, and is why he brought Rebecca there to begin with. I don’t know, maybe everyone else noticed that but the fact that he was talking to Rebecca in that scene added another layer to Chuck’s story for me.
