Ginny Sack Says Her Pain Wasn't Worse Than Anybody's: THAT Says A Lot!

This video contains some quick thoughts on Ginny Sack, the wife of Johnny Sack (Sacrimoni) on The Sopranos. Specifically, it's about my thoughts on her comment that she can't say her pain is worse than anybody else's. To me, essentially, it showed her ability to empathize with the human condition and awareness of herself and those around her. #thesopranos #sopranos #sopranosblueprint

The Johnny and Ginny argument was great! But yes Ginny is a very tragic figure. I assume that she was no longer welcome around the wives following Johnny's allocution. This last comparison to Janice is so telling...Janice was full of glee about the house while Ginny sat motionless, a broken woman. Maddone, those Sopranos were all born narcissists!

[@SopranosBlueprint]

💯🔥

[@asthmaticnightmare215]

Also, in the beginning of the episode, Ginny is surrounded by the wives as friends, at the end we see her sitting all alone while Janice looks at the house, it’s very heartbreaking

[@chrischarles7472]

I love your insight on Ginny. I always felt sorry for her but that shot of her when Janice is about to buy her house us just so sad and telling.

[@SopranosBlueprint]

Thank you 🙏🏼 😊 I appreciate your comment and thoughts!

“That woman is my life." - Johnny Sack

[@Bruno-bb9er]

Jokes aside about Ginny, It's actually heartwarming that Johnny really loved her. He was one of the only mobsters on the show that stayed faithful to his wife, along with Bobby and probably both Carmines.

[@SopranosBlueprint]

It absolutely is heartwarming and adds another layer to who he really is, which makes it all even sadder on some level when he gets sick.

[@TheMisterGuy]

I highly doubt that about Carmine Jr., what with being in the porn business and Johnny Sac's description of his bachelor party. But John and Bobby, yes. Carmine Sr., no way to know, but maybe. He was much older during the show, we don't know his younger days.

[@nancyvillines4552]

The only one I would disagree on is Carmine Sr. In the time's of his younger day's, I could see him cheating. But Little Carmine, and Bobby, faithful. Bobby was only faithful to Karen. If you watch closely after he married Janet and I believe it was after his first kill, he has a girl on his lap at a function. Although after being married to Janice, I could get why.

[@cynicaltheastrocreep4504]

​@@TheMisterGuyperhaps jr. did cheat but he actually seems to love his wife-- the way he speaks of her, and how her love was able to get him to realize the consequences of his ambitions, leading to him giving up the idea of being boss. It definitely wasn't the same kind of total emotional cheating and inability to connect with his wife like we see from Tony and most of the guys. The only ones, aside from Bobby, in Jersey that we even see or hear about with a half decent dynamic are Mikey+Jojo and Silvio+Gab, but clearly both men cheated a lot and we only saw a small picture of both marriages. When the hell did anybody besides Bobby actually act like they really loved their wife though? It's like Janice said, they're emotional cripples (ironic though, how she took the best husband and made probably the worst wife lmao).

[@TheMisterGuy]

@@cynicaltheastrocreep4504 Yeah, Carmine showed actual concern for his wife, and Bobby seemed to care about Karen for real. Totally different from Tony, who wasn't just lashing out in anger when he told Carmela she could live in a dumpster as far as he cared. I don't remember Mikey cheating, but I do remember his playful banter with his wife. Junior, too, though he wasn't actually married. And he was kind of old, who knows what he was like when he was younger. Sil, I don't think so. Gab cared for him, but he constantly and casually cheated on her. There were even a few scenes where Paulie is acting like a good boyfriend around his girlfriend's children. But definitely Carmine and Bobby were on a different level, and they were also the two least violent/murderous in the show.

She got to keep her Yukon.

[@TooLooze]

The scenes where Janice and Ritchie buy the Sacrimoni home and Christopher buys the Ferrari demonstrate the integrity it takes to be part of the mob. Except the ever sensitive Ralphie, who was willing to pay a million dollars just to be with her for a few beautiful moments.

[@JakeKoenig]

"When Ginny hauls ass, she has to make two trips." But seriously, if I married a woman who was in the mafia, then I'd know where her money comes from, and I really can't complain if my life is ruined by her criminality. Ginny knew who she was married to. Having said that, I enjoyed her character. Johnny Sack and Ginny were both fiercely loyal to each other, Johnny was faithful to his wife (unlike almost every other male character), and they had a relatively healthy relationship compared to everyone else in this show.

[@HoodBoy426]

My heart still breaks for Ginny, whatever happened there 😢

[@jamesgreenldn]

Her blood type is ragu

[@murraykelm5691]

The show only shows Ginny in a positive light, Johnny Sack himself said Ginny can get heavy.

[@quinnrollen]

She was one of the only redeeming characters on the show. Denise Borino nailed that role.

[@James_Price79]

Mom! You came this close to almost making your goal.

[@wyattb6066]

Ginny sack and Rosalie are my two favorite mob wives by far

[@drscarecraft8840]

You could imagine Ginny talking with Phil or one of the New York mob wives, and when she tries talking about how her problems they always dismiss her's by reminding that her husband is in jail (for crimes he committed)

[@docelephant]

This is a lovely appetizer between longer videos

[@SopranosBlueprint]

Thank you! I love how you put it - “appetizer” 😊 Appreciate it!

[@jennifermcgee8621]

Sweet lady and another victim of the Soprano family. When Carmella shows up with the new Porsche and Ginny is getting ready to leave her life was sad. Carmella couldbe just as heartless as Tony & Janice.

[@zitchili6932]

At least carm never murdered anyone though. I bet her cooking was bomb af too.

[@hithere4719]

What ever happened to women like Ginny Sack? Y’know the rubenesque, silent type?

[@alyssarichardson2544]

Definitely an easy character to empathise with, memes aside.

[@EightySeven-c8v]

This is how you try!! I'm not out of the house 10 minutes!!! 🐳

[@robertlee4172]

Her Pain Wasn't Worse Than Anybody's...two episodes later, all the husbands are dead or dying. Everyone in that room, at Ginny's house, are suffering from the NJ/NYC mob war. Just like that visit to the hospital, when Bryan Spatafore fell victim to a golfing injury. Jackie Jr, Christopher, Tony, Eugene, Ralphie, Gigi, and Vito...morto.

[@SopranosBlueprint]

Right. They all suffered in varying degrees. I’m referring to this scene and the particular circumstances at that time prior to the real NJ/NYC war, and how it stuck out to me that those were the words she used, even though she was in the most dire position at the moment re: the rest of her life.

[@adamgonzales4188]

Ginny sack moved in with her daughter Allegra after johns death and selling the house to Bobby and Janice

[@SopranosBlueprint]

Right, a very hard time for her, indeed…

[@gabbyhyman1246]

Ginny was sympathetic in so many ways. It's heartbreaking when John catches her with the candy. Was she minimizing her pain when she said that? John totally loved her. I might eat my brains out, too, if i lived in that life. She's a keeper! ❤

[@HarupertBeagleton-dz5gw]

Faithful to John??? Did she not see the basement scene???

[@SopranosBlueprint]

That was because she had trouble with her diet and controlling habits of overeating, not committing infidelity or betraying Johnny. In fact, he’s the one who didn’t even want her to bother with all of the diet stuff.

[@zitchili6932]

Her inner beauty could have captivated me man, and she had a great voice i thought.

[@misscleo378]

I always thought she was the most beautiful out of all the other wives. The men targeted her for her weight, but she was at least loved by her husband, cant say that about the other women.

[@waylonjenninz]

Good one.

[@tchrisou812]

I think you just shared an insightful sentiment about human nature and a good reminder about being humble in assessing the character of others.

[@SopranosBlueprint]

Thank you 😃 Appreciate the comment and 💯re: being humble in assessing the character of others. “Sometimes, we’re all hypocrites.”

[@tchrisou812]

@@SopranosBlueprint Meadow was wise for her age at some unexpected (to me) times. I saw a lot of Tony in her ways of thinking, she could be very successful if she channeled that in the right way.
