MY THOUGHTS ABOUT CHRISTOPHER AND THE VIDEO: "That's the guy Adriana, my uncle Tony. The guy I'm going to hell for." Christopher Moltisanti is one of the most tragic characters to ever appear on a television screen. His dreams and desires of becoming a filmmaker or working in the film industry made him so much more realistic compared to all the other characters. At times he's the only character who projects the reality that comes in life. Christopher knew deep down inside that he had a passion for film. We see this in season one "This is Scarface, final scene, fucking bazookas under each arm, say hello to my little friend." But Christopher ultimately came to the realization that if he did leave New Jersey, the mafia, and Tony, that it would result in him getting killed. He was so realistic and so relatable to the everyday viewer. His battles with friends like Paulie and Tony Blundeto, his battles with addictions and depression, growing up basically alone, and discovering who he really is along his journey in life towards his later years as an adult. Christopher will always be my favourite character, and we can thank Michael Imperioli for his tremendous work throughout the entirety of the series. This is why this weeks video was a little longer than usual and took more time to release. I wanted to make sure it was done right for my favourite character. Thank you. What's your favourite Christopher quote? Let me know down below👇🏻

He definitely would have been hitting the bottle and doing drugs. Aid also loves that flashy life more than she admits.

@@jordanking6852 exactly, which sums up the tension in the baptism scene. I think tony was just waiting for the last fuck-up to take him out and it was the accident. And what I fucking hate the most, THE MOST, is that they got into the accident because Chris wasn’t sober and tony wasn’t even helping with that! He laughed about it at many times! If tony really cared about who was gonna head the new jersey crew he would’ve invested time and energy into Chris’s healing and he might’ve avoided the hit on him in the finale, but how can you be mad and take an executive decision to kill someone on the spot based on bottled rage against them esp. when you refused to support them trying to become better? The Adriana thing pisses me even more, he came to tony crying, literally came clean the minute he knew, at least he was honest about it and he begged tony that he couldn’t do it. I really think Chris could’ve been someone as happy as little carmine if it weren’t for the toxicity of new jersey.

Adriana turned him and the family in. And Christopher stayed loyal to the family. Being the sole reason why he didn’t go to the grave alongside Ade the same time. For being so blind not seeing for a year long that she played both sides. As well as Tony “viewed” Christopher as the most itching liability from the start. From the pilot. Not at the end. Not in the end. Not post Adriana. But the entire show. He was trouble. Tony is relieved once he is finally dead.

Its eerie how Christopher's story echoes his father's. Both had drug problems and in the end both died early in their child's life, leaving them on their own without a father. Call it whatever you want: circle of life, self-fulfilling prophecy, bad genetics. I always found that parallel the most insightful to Christopher's character, as he's not only trying to please Tony but also trying to live up to his father's legacy, only to leave behind another broken home and fatherless child, just like his dad.

And with Chrissy they were laughing at him because anybody who isn’t their ultimate superior will never have the upmost respect, and that they felt they could degrade / belittle him.

Chris sees himself losing out on a lifestyle where he is highly respected, if not feared, driving luxury vehicles, dining at fine restaurants, etc, etc. We ultimately saw that Christopher loved “the life” more than he loved Adrianna when he sided with Tony.

Christopher is the perfect example of someone being shaped by their environment. He had no real father figure, one that would teach him right from wrong. Even if Dickie lived and it was him who raised him and not Tony it wouldn’t have made much of a difference. It goes back to one of Tony’s quotes in therapy, “you’re born into it. You are what you are.”. And yet despite all this he nearly was able to get himself clean and escape it all, showing the split inside of him, the want to be something in the mafia, and the want to live a happy life with Adriana

Chris' drug addiction was tied to the fact that he was living a life he really didn't want to live. He wanted to go to Hollywood and become a screenwriter, but Tony pressured him into remaining a Wise Guy. Chris did his share of awful stuff, but is still a tragic character in some ways. Edit: I really wonder if some of the people responding to this comment paid much attention to the show. Chris considered leaving for Hollywood on multiple occasions. And each time, Tony pressured him into staying. That clearly had an effect on him and contributed to his habitual drug use. And the fact that Hollywood also has a lot of drug users is *completely* besides the point.

I think one aspect of the Tony/Chris relationship that doesn't get enough attention is when they have a conversation at a cookout that Chris was hosting. Tony was talking to Chris, demanding why he wasn't around anymore. Chris counters by saying it is difficult to be around the guys/lifestyle with his addictions. Chris then compares his father, Dickie Moltisanti, to a common, run-of-the-mill junkie. I think that moment helped seal his fate for a few reasons. One: He insulted one of Tony's greatest heroes/secondary father figure. Tony LOVED that man, so degrading his reputation and memory of him would be close to sacrilege in his eyes. Two: Chris made it seem like he thought poorly of his father and that he had outgrown the memory of the man, which might have frightened Tony into thinking his hold on Christopher was waning. Earlier in the series, Tony ties Chris to himself in, what feels like, an unbreakable bond. Where Tony had Chris murder the man that "killed" Chris' father. If Chris no longer feels much attachment to his father, and thinks him loathsome, why would he put any stock into the murdering of that man and think of it as an everlasting bond? Three: Tony has thought of himself as Chris' father at times. Likewise, Chris has seen Tony as a mentor, friend, brother, and father at times as well. If Chris is spouting the notion of how little he thinks of his actual father, maybe tony sees it as Chris saying he feels that Tony is also someone he doesn't care about. Especially if this harkens back to things Chris has said in wroth before this moment. I honestly feel like that moment was vital in Tony's change in heart against Christopher, which actively lead to his death at the end.

I am pretty sure Tony didn't just favor Chris because they are related, I think Tony either was in some way involved in the death of Christophers father, or possibly even responsible for it and/or felt guilty about it This could explain very well why Tony tried to be a father figure to him, why he was so frustrated when Chris didn't live up to his expectations - he couldn't stand the fact that he couldn't make all right by uplifting Chris. This explains too why Tony later on even began to dislike Chris. Since Chris was a constant reminder of the guilt, the decision that he was a lost cause and had to be killed was a burden being removed from Tonys fragile Ego.

Uh, Adrianna and Christopher were NOT opposites; they were, in fact, made for each other. Adrianna had no more desire to leave the mob life than Carmella, up until the point that she was ensnared by the FBI. She was attracted to the glamour of the mob life like a moth to a flame.

For the life of me, I dont know why all these Sopranos channels want to white knight for Ade. She knew what that life was all about and chose to be in it. She smiled from ear to ear when Christopher brought her stolen luxury goods, drugs, and partied at the best clubs.

I do think they were twin flames as they were raised around the "lifestyle" and gradually became disillusioned as the reality of what the mob was sunk in. However, Ariana did always encourage his creative interests and in the end just wanted to be with Chris no matter if he was made guy or not.

@@mieshonwalker8635 Yeah, in the end. After the FBI had her on drug trafficking and a murder charge. Only after she saw how hollow that life really was. She had her good points but she made some horrible choices caused by her naiveté and ended up paying for it with her life. Just like Chris. Had she just chosen to be a "mob wife" like Carm or Ro, she'd likely still be alive.

You said a big reason why Chrissy lives throughout most of the series id because of Tony but in reality Chris was very tough to kill because of his natural canopy nose. They knew that if he tried killing him he would likely survive due to all the oxygen his big nose can deliver. Tony finally kills him when he has an opportunity to attack Chris in his one true weak spot that has kept him alive , his nose.

Christopher is one of the best written characters of all time and if you don't like him I would be shocked. Dynamic, and human in a tv show of sociopaths and villains. We knew he would die, but in the end when we saw him die we all were shocked. I can talk about him for hours.

I think the thing with Adriana and the FBI created a huge, irreparable rift between Chris and Tony. Tony even blames Chris for the Adriana “problem”, when he complains to Dr. Melli about the situation, and he openly resents Christopher after the thing with Adriana, too. After choosing Tony over Adriana, Christopher realizes Tony will never appreciate him or love him unconditionally the way Adriana did. He knows he made the wrong decision. So he delves back into drugs to try to numb the pain. The relationship between Tony and Chris was deeply, irreparably damaged after Ade, and the relationship only becomes more strained over time. Tony and Chris both loved Adriana, in their own ways. Still makes me so sad that Chris betrayed Adriana the way he did. She was so naive and innocent, she deserved better. Ugh.

i always felt he could never leave the mob life, reminds me of when vito came back even though he knew he was a dead man walking, chris only knew the mob life, and i felt the few times he wanted to leave he didnt or couldnt bring himself to do so because it was his entire glamourized life goal to be made, season one he did all he could to do so, but even right after he got made and had to deal with paulies collection bullshit etc, he saw that it was something he might not have wanted as he thought all his life, BUT he didnt want to also leave it because that was all his life was being built up to, and how he saw tony as his idol and a father figure, those things made him just stick it out with tony til his death because it would be shattering his entire life, if he wasnt that way as soon as adriana told him about the feds he shoulda got his keys taken both to the fbi agency and ratted his ass out, not like hallf of the mob wasnt without a satellite up their ass anyways broadcasting to the fbi, but he sadly chose to stick to the mob hell til the very end, comendable that he stayed loyal to a degree but sad because even the only person who gave a shit about him and loved him even after all the shit he did to her, he decided tony was the right choice this show is amazing and chris is probably the best character in the entire series

Sopranos is my all time favourite show. It was amazing watching it the first time and seeing Christopher’s story. A lot of it was close to mine. I’m not a mobster but I am an addict fortunate enough to be sober for 3 years now. I ended up with nothing and nobody and now I have everything back and more. I attend AA/NA meetings and do what’s required. I have my family back, an amazing fiancé and doing what I love in life which is acting. I’ve trained for couple years now and hopefully one day if God willing I’ll end up somewhere with it. If not that’s okay but Atleast I have the desire and courage to do and try what I want to in life. It’s a blessing. I’m not in that prison of addiction anymore. It’s sad because Christopher would have had everything. He was Tony’s protege his successor he would’ve been the boss of the family eventually and he just threw it all away. Tony even gave him a chance by sending him to rehab which the mob never does but even then. His dad was a junkie his mother an alcoholic and he ends up the same way.. it’s sad how drugs truly destroy your life man. I’m so blessed to have what I have now I’ll never go back to that life. Watching the sopranos and watching Chris use heroin it all brings back the memories but thankfully I have no cravings. It also makes me wanna do better and keep doing well for my wife and my family but mainly for myself. Thank you for reading this. One someone finally hits rock bottom. There’s no way but up. All the warriors struggling out there keep going💪🏼🙏🏼.
