[@delontaerich187]

Should dug two for your enemy and his kid

[@Playitstraight44]

I enjoyed this film but ultimately what the events leading up the finale proved was that C's dad was right. There's consequences for living the way you do. C saw two different approaches to life. He saw the easy way full of compromise and the right way that gave them a home and a solid work ethic. Sonny sold the easy life but he constantly was looking over his shoulder and hustling everyone to maintain this perception of acceptance.

[@nasirthesenatejohnson6935]

Rick Baker You ever think that Sonny wasn't fortunate enough to have a father/parents that cared about and supported him as much as Calogero? Let alone a second Dad

[@Playitstraight44]

I think his life of compromise came home to roost. You have to remember, most of what he sold was perception. He had to pay everyone to be there for him. That's why Sonny felt close to C because he was there whether he did him favors or not. I think C understood that and saw the flaws in Sonny's ways at the end. That's why C told Joe Pesci's character he needed a break from the corner store. He knew that wasn't where it was at.

[@dogwaterl]

Rick Baker sonnies life was definitely not a easy way to life at all.

Kai Anttila true to an extent. He was a smart, cunning conniving hustler and did what he had to do, but he wasn't a complete sociopath either. He took C under his wing and made him a man.

Ryan, there are no "good guy gangsters". It's a Hollywood myth. The are all thieves, killers, pimps, drug dealers and loan sharks. They have to be tough" because this is the life the picked. The life wasn't forced on them. PS Same for Tony Soprano, Michael Corleone and the rest of the mythical Robin Hoods.

[@poohandtiggervideosinc6163]

Lio Lio Not really. My Dad showed it to me a couple years back(we don't live together) and last summer me and some other family members went to go see this on a Broadway play in Manhattan and nobody else knew what it was but I encouraged them to go see it because I saw the movie

[@iamnoone21]

He was the only witness able to identify Sonny as the killer 8 yrs ago, and he stayed quiet--now he's the only one who sees the the son of the victim coming for Sonny, and can't make himself heard in time

[@Cinemabuff97]

When I first saw this scene, it was pretty intense. And I was kinda sad that Sonny died. He was a mob boss, but he had life lessons, and treated C like a son, and taught him real morals and messages.

[@AnnaLVajda]

Christian 4_Realzz C was not his son and he should have left him alone. Sonny coveted and despite his twisted good intentions idea C should not have been influenced by him. The killer might be avenging his father but in a way he is avenging Cs father as well. How many times was the lesson from Sonny to not end up like him?

[@jaygray9862]

He was a crew boss... Not a mob boss

[@Cinemabuff97]

@@AnnaLVajda Well I agree, I think C should have listened to his father, and not hung around with Sonny, because if Sonny survived, and C continued to hang around with him for many many years, he could eventually get in some trouble, and could've gotten killed or would have to start killing people. The mafia is obviously dangerous. I side with C's dad more, but at the same time, I also liked Sonny. I thought Sonny was, while dangerous, also loving to C, and he taught him some important life lessons. He was like a second father to C. So, that's why I was a bit sad when he died. But at the same time, Sonny could have turned on him at some point in the future, if he survived that shooting and lived. So in conclusion, while I do like Sonny, I do realize he's dangerous too. I moreso side with Lorenzo, as he was the real, and better father. And C should have listened to him.

Since I was a kid, I always liked how happy Sonny was to see C before he was shot. It reminds me of every parent. They can be mad at something you did, a couple hours later, they're happy to see you. It's love, and that's what Sonny showed C in his own way.

[@MrBrianJoseph]

[@coopercostantino17]

The song is so Poetic, if you know the song you know the last words being "if nothing's shaking this here July, I'm gonna roll myself up in a big ball and die" which really adds an extra layer to the scene once you realize it

[@p994able]

[@roderickstockdale1678]

But he said in this scene, “I’ll break youse whole”.

[@mr.dawson1988]

This scene also reminded me if RFK’s assasination because of the way they crowded around sonny, the look on sonny’s face, and the pool of blood under my sonny’s head.

I think this is exactly how tony soprano died, same shot on the back and meadow entering the restaurant kinda like seeing it just like C. And due to the fact that many actors of italian mob culture movies are in the sopranos, just like there is tons of references of the same in the show. Probably chase got inspired for the final episode with this, ''you probably never see it coming when it happens'' JUST LIKE THIS!!! Man i miss james and the show.
