I love how either way you interpret this scene it works. Either Tony got whacked in front of his family, or he didn’t and this scene makes us experience the paranoia and anxiety Tony will always feel until he dies.
@FoxintheKnow8610 ай бұрын
I've always thought this was the point. The show gave the external view of Tony for 6 seasons, then 5 minutes at the end of unbearable internal dread and anxiety of what he lived every day, and then it stopped, leaving the ambiguity, but to continue that way would be unbearable for the viewers. Also they had told the story they wanted, and this is fiction. So yes it does just end. I've always liked it.

Paranoia is what Tony lacks in this scene, and the lack gets him killed. One of the threads in the scene is that he is in an idealized American place rather than an immigrant-Italian place. There are numerous examples in the show of Tony trying to have one foot in both worlds from his McMansion, to going to a shrink, to trying to have non-mob friends and golfing buddies, etc.. Tony going to the diner renders him comfortable after coming down from the hyper-vigilance of going to the mattresses. Ultimately, the tension of trying to live in two worlds is resolved as he is whacked while putting his focus on the wrong world.

@@troyf.9050 Thing is the only Wap in that restauraunt that came in otha than his family was the dude that clipped him, Tony didn’t even see those 2 black guys come-in he got involved with conversation. the more he got involved in conversation the more he let his guard down, and then as the dialogue went quiet again he was able to get his radar goin, and notices this guy whose clearly an italiano wearin’ a Members Only Jacket go to the bathroom. So he may have noted this but even the jukebox playin dont stop believen didn’t allow him to hear movement and he was into his menu, then heard the ring, Saw meadow and whenever he sees meadow his attention is always 100% her. He was a sitting duck. He didn’t have any panick attacks to warn him something was awry with the dealings with NY somethin didnt feel right, nor with Patsy (If you believe he was involved some ppl do but I totally disagree), The hit was done infront of his fam to send a message, He did the same to phil Infront of his wife and grankids. butchie may not have liked the way it was done among other things, and we Know Phillys Wife is very catholic and vengeful-She was the one who pressed phil that something needs to be done about Vito He needs to punished for his sins or skmething along those lines but She was the one who pressed his buttons, to do something about it. She may have wept to butchie in the same way sayin how phil was murdered right infront of her eyes gruesomely And infront of the twins so blatantly scarring them forever and she may have guilt tripped butchie pressed on it, and she may have been privy to who Phil was going to war with New Jersey. She gets the information from other soldiers in the new york family and boom Tony Soprano comes up. And she may have had family in the mob since she was so comfortable with philly being in the mob. and what does she do she gets her own connections to assassins to orchestrate a hit on Tony Soprano but she wants him to be murdered infront of his family the same horrofic experience she was exposed to she wants him to reap what he sows.

My uncle at the time mention that it was a fantastic ending because that moment when it all goes black is Tony being killed and it emphasizes how when you go, it doesn’t matter if you’re in the middle of talking, ordering, eating or expecting someone - it all goes black when you die and just as Tony is left with that feeling of missing out on an “ending” we the viewers experience that along with him.

This is haunting! Gives me chills. Members only guy definitely whacked him. He literally walked in with AJ, but put himself in front of AJ to make it appear like he wasn’t following him. And AJ’s girlfriend was for sure an informant. Remember Tony was like “Who’s she gonna tell?” Regarding their whereabouts that same evening. Tony was so busy watching the door, he didn’t see who was coming out of the bathroom at 3 o’clock. And Meadow, who called him back from the brink of death, the one female in his life that he loved the most amongst all his troubled relationships with women, was the last person he saw. There’s also this level of acceptance between him, Carmela, AJ and Meadow about the lifestyle….and then it’s lights out. You won’t even hear the gun shot. This scene was brilliant.

If you notice, almost every time Tony comes close to death or danger, Meadow is there to save him. She's almost inadvertently Tony's guardian angel. On the college trip, her getting drunk and having her father take care of her luckily struck a heartstring of the rat trying to kill him. When she took the FBI lamp from the basement, she blocked the FBI's chance of hearing any incriminating conversations through the mic built into it. In Tony's coma dream, her voice is what ultimately stops him from venturing into the afterlife. You BARELY catch outside voices or forces from outside the coma, but her voice rings crystal clear when the moment is most dire. Which is why, I believe Tony did in fact get clipped in the finale. As the guy with the 'Members Only' jacket goes into the bathroom, which is perpendicular with where Tony is sitting in the restaurant, Meadow struggles to parallel park. She would've been sitting next to Tony (assuming he'd let her sit on the outside) so she'd be in between Tony and the Members Only guy, obstructing his clear shot. I also catch that the number of times Meadow has to readjust her parking is Three, which is the number of times she's kept her father from danger. 3 strikes and he was out... The sound of that door opening always sends chillds down my spine. Meadow probably ran into the restaurant just in the knack of time to see her father get shot in the head from the side.

So every time the bell sounds, our perspective shifts to first person from Tony’s POV, which is why at the first bell you see Tony walk in and it immediately shifts to the table where he’ll be sitting at, because that’s what he’s looking at; that’s his perspective. Going forward, he’s facing the door so every-time the bell rings, we’re shown him look up followed by a quick camera shift where you see the door from his eyes (1st person instead of 3rd). It doesn’t fade to black, it cuts to black right as Meadow walked in because that was the point where the bullet entered his brain. He never did see his daughter. And yes, it was most certainly a reference to The Godfather (“two shots a piece to the head”) where Michael retrieved the Snub-Nose revolver from the toilet to execute Sollozzo.

I’ve pondered this scene a million times. Almost every time I see him getting whacked by the ZIP who goes into the washroom. AJ walks in right after him so Tony doesn’t notice him. Guy identifies Tony twice while sitting at bar goes into washroom that is exactly in front of Tony’s table. If meadow had come in earlier and sat next to Tony it would have diverted the plan, hence the parallel parking cut scenes. Tony had Phil whacked in front of his family, who knows how that sat with the other NY bosses. This particular scene had the typical causal setting that the director used when whacking main characters especially with the random cut scenes.

Yet, that said, I still find myself wanting Tony to live, perhaps I admire that he had come to terms with his true nature and the absurdity of all things in Vegas, or maybe it’s just a testament to the excellence of this show. Either way, what a damn ride.

This is my theory as well. It was all in his imagination. People say "he was killed" and often recall how everytime he listens the bell, the camera changes to his POV. In the last instance the POV is black, which is why people assume he dies. But if you pay close attention, the camera shift after every bell ring doesn't start once he is seated, but before, when he enters the place for the first time and the bell rings. This is the actual first instance in which the camera shifts to his POV. But something odd has happened: he is already seated! How can he see himself from the door already seated? Because he has started to imagine what would happen to him if he enters, and this daydream ends with his death. Which makes sense because in the end Tony Soprano is actually free, and nobody that we know of is coming for him. But all the bad actions he has commited have finally convinced him that he actually deserves to die or at least be in danger. That is Tony Soprano's real curse. To never feel safe because he knows he doesn't deserve it. I know the original writer of The Sopranos because confirmed the "he died" theory. But listening to him and how he hated to be continually asked about the ending, I think he just confirmed the wrong theory to misled us.

There's another hint indicating Tony is going to be killed. Right at the beginning of the scene, there's a close up on his face in which he's looking at the tables. Then, there's a cut on his point of view, and, strangely, we see him already seated at the tables. It's an ellipse, of course, but for a second it gives us the impression that he's looking at his doppelgänger. In classic literature, when the doppelgänger of a character appears, it usually means death is around the corner.

How can you not be romantic about the end of The Sopranos? Everything is perfection, imo. Numerous callbacks and references to the show's history (focus on the good times, right everybody?). Meadow not having the makings of a varsity parallel parker. Even choosing Don't Stop Believin' as the song to play in the background is perfection. It evokes all the right emotions. And then, as if to read the audience's mind, the song blares "DON'T STOP" as the screen cuts black. Amazing to me that anyone was ever upset by it.

Great TV series, and an ending that left many speculating for years as to what really happened. For me, it's hard to imagine any amount of power or money being worth the cost of having to spend your life with your head on a swivel 24/7. Never knowing who you can trust, and never knowing when you're going to end up in the trunk of a car, buried in the Meadowlands, splattered all over some restaurant seat, or spending years in jail. These guys were doing all that, and were doing it for not that much bling really. It's not like many of them were really wealthy. Vast majority seemed to have rather middle-class homes and lifestyles. In spite for all the risk and trouble they went through to steal, cheat, assault, and kill, just not to be “average” guys, at the end of the day they weren't any better off than the “average” guy.

This episode was incredible. Tony finally kills Phil Leotardo but at the Cost of nearly his whole crew. The last half he is trying to make amends or make things seem like theyre back to normal. He goes to see paulie, then janice, then uncle junior, then his family and his death. I think the episode was really about things never being the same. They could never go back to how things were. Tony made his bed and now he has to lay in it

For me the ending is what we saw in the episode, a slow decay of the Soprano mob, Pauli is tanning with NO ONE left. The main crew is gone, the Sopranos are very weakened, and most likely with Carlo flipping everyone goes down. In my world Carlo flips, Tony, Pauli, and most of the top guys go to jail. The Soprano mob dies there... The whole last season was the tribe going down bit by bit.

AJ finally learned... "focus on the good times", implying there's some hope for his depression. Last thing Tony sees is his angel, Meadow. Even the black guys they've spent the show blaming for everything make an appearance. Bathroom, a la The Godfather. Members only. 3 o clock. Tony's dead. Never sees it coming. Perfect.

AJ had him killed. I watched a episode(s) keeps foreshadowing what was going to happen to Tony. AJ references Godfather which makes the scene more disturbing.

I remember watching this finale when it first aired. I was so confused at first, and then as the credits rolled it hit me. Tony had been whacked right in front of his family. Then I started connecting the dots. A brilliant show, all the way to the end. I loved how it ended on such a note, leaving the interpretation open to the audience. Rest in peace, Big Guy.

Tactically Tony almost got it correct. Able to see front entrance but not having his back to all ; Meadow "distracting" him was convenient but would have still happened.

Сегодня досмотрел последнею серию данного сериала. Каждый вечер я приходил с работы и смотрел по 2-3 серии из сезона, складывалось такое ощущение, что я сам стал членом семьи сопрано, как бы и парадоксально это не звучало. И тут ты понимаешь в концовке, что будто твоего члена семьи убили, потому что ты так к ним привык за 6 сезонов, что это не может не вызывать шока. Я не представляю, что было на душе у тех людей, кто смотрел сопрано на протяжении 7 лет. В конце концов сопрано заплатил высокую цену за такую форму существования.

Chris said the "message" was for BOTH Paulie and Tony. So I'm not buying the directional explanation. The 3-o-clock reference is classic David Chase...mysteriously, opaque, unknowable....like the fate of the Russian in Pine Barrens.

Best ending to anything ever, a class job, loyal to the lore, the style and to everything the Soprano's stood for as a work of art. Went over the head of so many people, which oddly only adds to its beauty. Before there was "Bravo Vince" we used to say "Bravo David".

We saw characters die throughout the series. David Chase puts the audience in Tony's shoes and we see what it is to die suddenly. The audience really was the last one to get "whacked".

My theory: Butch did turn back on his promise of backing off from The Soprano/DiMeo family on the order of Little Carmine and Paulie knew about it, leaving Paulie the head of who was left in Jersey and merging his crew with the Lupertazzi family. Three times Butch was the one who brought up whacking Tony and specific members but Paulie always being left out and in one episode is even said to "not be a target". Through the series basically every meeting Paulie attended with Tony, Paulie never shook the second parties hand, except once. He shook Butch's hand after Tony walks off during the warehouse meeting when they talk about clipping Phil and then Paulie walks off alone and to me that symbolized something. At this point in the series Paulie was the only one left besides Parisi and let's face it, nobody in Jersey really cared much for Parisi. Silvio was fighting to stay alive in his coma and never recovered from it, he most likely died from the injuries as they did say he might not make it. Bobby got clipped by New York and we all know the stories of Pussy and Jimmy. There was literally nobody left but Paulie and he knew that it was time for the DiMeo/Soprano family to be defunct. Also, I feel Tony knew his time was up after Johnny Sack died, Johnny Sack was the mediator between the two families which stopped a lot of problems and helped to try and keep the money evenly spread. We will never really know, but things like that have happened in real life with certain families so it isn't a far fetched theory.
@blindeye12583 жыл бұрын
I think you're pretty much spot on. The original plan was "decapitate, do business with whatever's left" and while Butchie no longer trusted Phil, that overall plan was still in play. They just placated Tony long enough for him to let his guard down.
@KolchaksGhost3 жыл бұрын
That’s because Paulie wasn’t underboss in 2007, Bobby was, which is why he’s described as “number 3”. Paulie became underboss again after Bobby’s death, however. Paulie hated New York and Phil, and since Butch kissed Phil’s ass 24/7, he probably disliked him as well. The theory that the DiMeo family is eventually incorporated into the Lupertazzi family isn’t that far fetched, but for it to happen the war would have to continue. Paulie is very hot headed and isn’t going to lay down for a snake like Butchie. Also, side note, while Paulie would’ve probably become boss because of his elevated position, he was not the last one left, there was also Alley Boy, who probably took over the Barese crew again, and Tony Black, who probably became captain of Bobby’s crew
@smirky1012 жыл бұрын
That does make a lot of sense for Butch, seeing as how much he gained from Phil's campaign against Tony. He might have decided to give Tony a pass, then changed his mind when he heard about Carlo. Tony having such a selfish personality, it isn't hard to imagine him ratting everyone out to the Feds if he was facing years in prison.
