Film Student Watches THE SOPRANOS s5ep12 for the FIRST TIME 'Long Term Parking' Reaction!

just went adriana thought she was out, silvio pulled her back in

Adriana was always considerate. When Sil pulled her out of the car, she went looking for Paulie’s lost shoe in the woods

That Adriana reaches over to comfort Christopher immediately after he almost choked her to death is such a sad encapsulation of her character.

[@billdouglas8701]

The scene where Ade confesses to Christopher and their mutual emotional breakdown in each other’s arms after he attacks her…maybe the best example of the acting and scripting of this show seeming like the interactions of real people caught by the world’s stealthiest cinematographer.

[@albertcardenas9437]

When Chris breaks down with Ade, i always get the feeling that it's mirroring the breakdown scene between Henry and Karen in Goodfellas, Chris's actor being an alumni of that movie as well

[@sofiamec8767]

NEVER apologize for having to watch a scene over again! I love rewatching them especially with you cuz you point out so many things I've never realized! Top tier reactor 🤌🏽

[@eliemoses]

😁😁

[@anthonycolunga4134]

It doesn’t get any less devastating, no matter how much I watch it, one of the best episodes of television period. Drea de Matteo acted her ass off in this episode. She actually had to talk Silvio’s actor through that scene! They both killed it!

[@cyradus]

Tony's last words to Ade was, "I'll see you up there".

[@passwordprotectedd]

also- The deer hunter: The name “Silvio” is derived from “sylvan,” meaning of the forest, and “La cerva” means the deer in Latin.

[@jmwild1]

That Chris/Ade fighting/choking/hugging scene was their mutual Emmy moment for sure. Michael Imperioli and Drea de Matteo both won for this episode.

[@liteflightify]

Imo, a top 3 episode of the series. It also won the writing Emmy and won Drea de Matteo and Michael Imperoli Emmys.

[@stemid85]

Chris didn't want to give up his sweet life, his hummer. At that point it was the only way he knew to be successful, the silver screen was still a pipe dream.

[@liteflightify]

When Tony said he’d “keep things away from Carmela” it was really code for I’ll make sure I cheat quietly and with no possibility of it getting back to you.

[@61rudster]

I read somewhere that wacking Adrianna was the most disturbing TV character kill in history. David Chase even had the sense at the time, to kill her OS. (Off screen) Great episode! Love the Springsteen reference from Born To Run, from Christopher, “The highway's jammed with broken heroes On a last chance power drive” lyric line, with Steve Van Zandt sitting right there. He of course is Springsteens right hand man guitar player in the E Street Band. Great reaction!!

[@kcthecat]

Chris thru the seasons: ‘I cant stand the regularities of normal life’. (Paraphrasing) ‘Im a soldier Aidrianna, when will you remember that’ He tossed her luggage at same place Tony almost shot him from the boiwjob rumor

[@passwordprotectedd]

"For years now, Chase has been associating trees with a cluster of dark emotions and issues. Trees have been associated with death, decay, confusion, uncertainty and depression." adriana's death ties into this so well and the motif of trees is just so good

[@Pope_Meows]

Adrianna really had no chance after the first run in with the FBI. She became only a liability after that to Tony's crew. Her only chance would have to been to immediately ask for an attorney at the first meeting, got arrested and more than likely serve time for her crimes. Even then I'm not sure she could of survived. My first time watching I definitely fell for it, and felt so stupid when Sil pulled into that wooded area. RIP Ade, the actress has an Onlyfans page now btw. 👀

[@vlohnn3082]

lmao i still dont know why she waited till after she confessed to ask for the lawyer . poor ade lol

[@gregsgoogle2947]

The fear of “the regularness of life” is what made Christopher flip on Ade. What’s spectacular about Ade’s last scene is how long it took her to realize she’s about to die. Initially she was just fantasizing about having the strength to leave by & for herself. When that fantasy in her head ended she cries because she realizes she stuck in this awful world. Not until Sil stops the car does she realize she’s about to die.

[@jamalbryant8099]

I felt so bad for Adriana, that she knew she going to die, when she started crying 😢

[@vuyanijamamkele8319]

Adriana is the personification of the expression 'Deer caught in headlights" 😭

[@Qqertykxxmamka]

And the surname too

[@TeKDeLorean]

Masterful writing for a bunch of reasons: We saw Silvios evil side when it came to women in the way he dealt with Tracee so it wasn't out of character for him to do what he did. Like you mentioned he was always the one to comfort Adriana when Chris was in trouble so the whole story Tony told her made sense and fooled most of the audience at the time when this aired, myself included. We got to see Chris' reasoning for giving up Ade without a single word. It was shown throughout the series. She couldn't have kids, she lied to him about getting high with Tony, making him look like a cuck in front of the boys. Allowing herself to be duped by a Fed - which is a death sentence in his life - and not telling him about it, or the murder in her club. The last straw for him was seeing the average joes at the gas station and knowing he would have to leave his life of power behind. Right there gave you all of his motivation to give up Adriana so it really wasn't out of character and made sense for him to do it. I remember sitting in my room with my mouth opened for a good ten mins after it happened. Just great stuff.

[@jeremyrfritz]

I can't tell you how much I am enjoying reliving this series through your eyes. You truly understand both the technical and creative brilliance in each and every episode, and your sense of humor and enthusiasm while deconstructing, analyzing, and making predictions puts a smile on my face every single time. Please don't ever change your style or approach to reacting. Your authenticity shines through, and you make it seem like we really are just hanging out watching with a friend. I look forward to seeing a new upload from you more and more every day.👍

Thank you jeremy ❤️❤️❤️

Well said!

[@tidepride86]

Lol your takeaway of Christopher would have to of changed his name to become a writer...I almost spat out mu coffee 😂

[@vlohnn3082]

the montage scene with tony smoking alone thinking about tony b and him as kids was so real

[@Cassxowary]

they farked her over, she's naive and scared and unaware and loves chris and everything... she should've stuck to her guns and asked chris or tony for help. the songs tell about what's happening or about to or just did, have you not noticed that? lol and it reminded me of the "interior decorator" dude lol sil wasn't referring to something that he didn't know about yet though, he was being honest... well said and agreed, as always (almost heh), and onto the season finale and season 6! I'm nervous lol don't want it to end, but hope you'll do the prequel next!(: I haven't seen it but seen a review by someone who was in that life so I've got mixed feelings but I'd love to watch it with you and everyone anyway

[@IronCardinal181]

Johnny Sacks “anything else?” Harkens back to when Tony did that to Ralphie

[@passwordprotectedd]

one word- masterpiece

[@ndzalln]

This was so tough, poor Ade😢 The make up 'deal' between Carmela and Tony is so transactional lol. He doesn't promise to stop cheating just that he'll make sure it doesnt "intrude" into his home life & Carmela accepts I think she has resigned herself to the life she signed up for - she tried to leave but there's no way out unless she starts from scratch which she definitely doesnt want to do! So she gets 600k as part of the deal to get the most out of the life she chose - sad acceptance. Interesting parallel between the two couples, Ade/Chris, Carmela/Tony. One partner reaping the benefits of the mob life the other coming to a sad end which makes me wonder if Carmela did divorce and get away from Tony would her days be numbered like Ade? Ex-mob wife and the possibility of her flipping to the Feds too much to risk?

[@LateCambrian]

This is probably the best epsiode of the series, emotionally wise…

[@AllenDM]

This and Employee of the Month are the most riveting episodes of the series.

[@passwordprotectedd]

43:00 "it's the fucking regularness of life"

[@jeremyrfritz]

Fyi; when you revisit the series with your dad's blu-ray collection, watch this episode with Drea de Matteo's commentary track. It's insightful and funny.

[@IronCardinal181]

I don’t know if it’s what you are thinking but when Johnny threatens Tony’s “family” he means the “Soprano Crime Family” not his actual family

[@LateCambrian]

"Highway was jammed with broken heroes on a last chance power drive." Chrissy quoting Springsteen lyrics in front of Silvio, Bruce's guitarist...

[@JMC296]

Yep, camera panning “up there” with Ade…and towards down there with Tony. He knows after this his chances of going “up there” are nil.

[@gregsgoogle2947]

Here’s a vital question... when did Christopher decide to rat out Ade to Tony?? Before he left their apartment to “clear his head” or was it when he saw the regular family at the gas station?? The vibe in the apartment was he decided it there. Ade picked up on it when Chrissy said he’s just going to get cigarettes. He told Ade she worries too much to calm her anxiety. Seems like a con line. Seems like he already decided what to do before he left their apartment. Seeing the regular family either happened before or after he told Tony. Which is it??

[@NoShiiitSherlock]

I TOLD YOU to remember that line from FBI agent Daniel??? Is that her name?? SHE SAID: "IN THE FBI THE LINE IS NO CLEARER ANYWHERE BETWEEN THE GOOD GUYD & THE BAD GUYS." Anyways....thid episode makes my stomach sick and my heart hurt. Aid WAS NOT in the mafia. She was an innocent

[@Retsea]

7:07 Hah that lighting through the window has to be Godfather inspired, never noticed it.

[@tidepride86]

Christopher loved the idea of an Adriana but that's about it.

[@Kleen6288]

I hate😢this episode, NOT because it was a bad episode, it’s because it was spectacular writing with the Adriana plot, on a first time watch I believed that they were going to help her just for them to turn on her, it was very sad to see her GO😔, but Definitely a Top 10 episode for sure👍

[@camillecarroll106]

They were not in the Meadowlands, but somewhere in the hills of North Jersey. I lived up there for most of my life & I recognize the area. The Appalachian Mountains run through the northwestern part of NJ, so the area has a lot of hills & wilderness. The Meadowlands is in a lower level area of the State. Just letting you know. 😶‍🌫️

[@betweenlakes]

Oof, madonn'. That thumbnail says it all

[@niceparker8401]

The hipocrisy of them couple lupertazzis is ridiculous. New York hit more people from Jersey than Tony ever sanctioned, and its made for a fabulous season

[@EthanKorewha]

Maybe after The Sopranos, give Sons of Anarchy a go

[@BrianPappas-dp7hn]

Chase likes to mess with peoples heads…a lot of people thought that was Ade walking in the woods at the end and Syl had shown mercy, until the true reveal. And who the hell was that who washed ashore??? And why was it never referred to again???

[@eliemoses]

The person washed ashore i think was the guy stabbed in the club

[@jamesmorant1406]

My favorite episode of the series and Adriana death is the saddest on the show

[@toothlezz16]

43:01 That can't be him if she went with Ade. She can't have kids. That's what pushed chris to do what he did, not the peasant lifestyle itself.

[@gregsgoogle2947]

It’s never been established Ade can’t have kids. Chances are she can. Chrissy has admitted the “regularness of life” is too much for him. Like all of them he’s a shark that can’t stop swimming because it feels like he will die if he does.

[@jeremyrfritz]

@@gregsgoogle2947Exactly. Ade never said she had no chance of having kids. Just that she might not. Christopher picked the lavish lifestyle being in the mob afforded him over his love for Adriana. He couldn't handle living a quiet lower/middle-class lifestyle. At the end of the day, Chris is a selfish entitled brat.

[@biged263835]

Adriana’s storyline gets darker upon every rewatch. You realize every person in the show is using her pretty much from the second we are introduced to her… she has no real friends.

[@cecillegravelle2590]

I wonder why the fbi weren't parked nearby ade and Chris's appartment. they could have seen Sal pick up ade and saw chris leave earlier.

[@prettymuchbangtan]

ade's demise is the worst in the series for me. i loved her as a character, she was one of the only characters that was practically pure of heart compared to everyone else

[@georgekech4903]

The whole Adrianna - FBI saga was BS in my opinion. They said they had her on distribution of drugs (cocaine) but the only thing they had is Adrianna and Christopher using cocaine and also Chris giving a very small quantity (amount for personal use) to Little Paulie without receiving any money or even saying clearly that it's drugs. The prison sentence the FBI boss mentions is BS. Also the FBI didn't have pretty much anything on Adrianna or Chris. She spoke with a lawyer about that whole "a wife not being required to testify" thing but she wouldn't ask more things about her case? Any normal lawyer would tell her that they don't have anything real. Also why would the FBI use an agent to trick a mobsters finance or wife? Any informant would have told them that mobsters don't talk business with their wives or fiancees. Tony never did. Christopher never did either besides some trivial things like that Tony gave the casino business to Tony B which the rats FBI could have know. Tony and Christopher would know that Adrianna didn't know much to give to the FBI in any case. Tony would never talk "business" with her whether she was wearing a wire or not. Also how Chris and Tony trust that Crazy Horse isn't bugged yet they were scanning Badda Bing for bugs every now and then. They would have been doing the same there too and they would have located the remote or wired FBI camera. To me that whole story line is unrealistic. FBI wouldn't waste their time with a fiancé while they had 2 informants already in the family. They could have given them more than enough for union frauds like "non-work" geeks that Eugene was involved and other things. You'd say "hey it's a series, calm down" but you can't help to think all those details that don't make much sense.

[@georgekech4903]

They just had to kill off the character because Drea De Matteo needed to start filing the series Joey with Matt Le Blanc. That’s why they gave that plot line to her character as to justify her disappearance from the show. Ironically Joey flopped majorly.

[@suedoughnim6665]

Adriana was never the brightest star in the galaxy and she brought it all on herself by snorting blow in front of a complete stranger. She obviously didn’t deserve to get clipped but when your boyfriend is in the mob you should probably exercise some discretion, especially around complete strangers.
