The Sopranos Finale.
Recently re watched the series of Sopranos and just finished the Finale a couple days ago, and my friend who also just finished watching it and we were discussing the last episode, now he absolutely hated it, and theres not changing his mind, he's a stubborn mule at the best of times anyways.
After rewatching it though I must say it's actually very well done, and if you watch the way the final scene was shot and directed, IMO I think it's pretty clear the show end with Tony's death. Any thoughts? What do you think? |
I don't think you can definitively say whether he was killed or not and that's kind of the whole point when you're in his position. You could pretty much be shot at any moment.

If I had to wager, I would say he dies at the end, though like you said nothing is definitive. |
Anyhoo, what were your personal opinions of the finale Theddy?
|
I'm torn on it. I like the ambiguity but at the same time six seasons is a lot to invest for no payoff. Feels like David Chase was just fucking with us.

I don't think there is a need for a movie. Everyone is dead.

Little Sopranos.
Family comedy in style of Rugrats. |

That is not the way you should end a series

loved the ending. that whole scene was such a mindfuck. I remember when it aired for the first time and my heart was racing just waiting for him to get it. Sounds a bit silly, but watching the camera cut in and out of Meadow trying to parrell park multiple times was intense. Cause in your mind your thinking something's definately happening now. I just really loved the way that scene was filmed.
the episode before, Blue Comet, is my fav of the series |
Remember reading at the time the plan was to shoot a movie or two to tie everything up, dunno how true that was or if it would even have worked? Think the ambiguity of the ending works for it though.
|
He definitely was killed. That scene is full of symbolic events: Meadow having to try three times to park the car before suceeding = the first two times at killing Tony failed, the third suceeding. I'll have to re-watch the end episode to job my memory more.
|
No he wasn't definitely killed. "Pretty clear the show ends with Tony's death." No it isn't pretty clear.
The whole scene was pretty much just messing with you. <3 it. What thedamndest said. |
Isn't there somthing benign you should be whining about?
And really I don't see how your opinion is any more right then mine or Gertners, since it was rather ambiguous in the way it ended. |
No because you said it was "pretty clear" and he was "definitely killed." Go fuck yourself.
|
sometimes it's nice just not to know.

"SHITTY EPISODE THIS WEEK, NOT ENOUGH ACTION" - Instant Classic after watching an episode of The Sopranos that didn't have enough action
|
Triple A is an Arab. His opinion is meaningless.

As I remember there was a whole half a season where nothing happened.
|
I don't remember that at all.
|
fuck I miss this show
|
David Chase is a troll, that much is for sure.
Personally, I think Tony was clipped, because if he wasn't, the show would have continued on...there still would have been a story to tell, including Tony's arrest and trial. It would have happend...and it would have been great TV. No way the FBI wasn't going to arrest and charge him. |
If the writer and the stars don't want to go on, there's jackshit the FBI can do.
|
Glad to see those "stars" have gone on to bigger and better things...
|
can it really get much bigger after a show like Sopranos? don't really think much more was expected from them
|
I would be first in line if they ever made a movie!

what
|
If Tony didn't die in the finale...then what the hell was the point of making that the final scene?
Sitting down at some dinner with the family munchin on onion rings? Yeah, great way to end a show... |
I'm going to make a long and satisfying post about this show the Sopr---

After watching the series in total I change my opinion It was a good way to end the series. Tony died.

My original posts in this thread were very angry towards Instant Classic for some reason... wonder what was up with that... might have been feuding with him at the time... strange
|
It was"pretty clear" and he "definitely" did die
|
Come at me
|
I'll cum at you.
|
That would be unpleasent tbf
|
The actor Matt Servitto basically admitted that in the script they had the guy walking directly towards Tony originally and that they cut away to make it more ambiguous.
Tony died. Then James Gandolfini ate himself to death soon after just to ensure we all got the message. |
Yeah, thank you, James.
|
It was all that cold meat from the fridge.
"Don't eat the gabagool grandma, it's all fat and nitrates!" She should have told that to Tony. |
My favourite show of all time. He definitely died.
|
R.I.P Frank Vincent a.k.a Phil Leotardo this week btw.

Rewatched the whole series a few months ago for the first time since the original run , think its's a testament to the show that people still argue over the ending to this day .
Can't say either way whether he died or not and that's the perfect way to end it , suppose there can't be a happily ever after in the Mafia . |
I never watched it start to finish, used to catch the odd episode here and there. I should really do something about that.
|
Never watched the series but have always heard great things, going to DL it and binge it from the beginning....
|
I'll be honest IMO it's overrated, but it gets better the deeper you go into the seasons. Didn't like season 2 or 3.

pine barrens is the best episode of anything
|
Think I watched some seasons. Going to start researching it but the first episode seems so ehhhh.
|
the best show
|
Ralphie Cifaretto is one of the best characters ever written. Pauly Walnuts too.
|
How about worst character?
|
Hated those 2 douche bags that worked at the stock broker agency that would randomly beat up employees.

I can't sit through those scenes. That's the problem with writing miserable whiner characters…if you do it well then the audience still has to sit through a performance they'd rather not see no matter how good it is. |
