Believe it or not it's a real mob rule. Their businesses are fronts where they launder their dirty money. An employee suddenly disappearing would have gave the police the cause they needed to obtain a warrant to search the Bing. Or better yet audit the Bings books. Doing anything bad for business is a big no no in the mob and that was a huge violation. If Tony had gone to New york, had a sit down with Carmine to get the Ok. He could have easily had Ralph whacked. Made or not. Believe me he wanted to. The only problem he had was he knew John Sacrimoni would have for certain talked Carmine out of it. John was Carmines consigliere and he had lucrative side business with Ralph. After that back fire Ralph would have wanted the ok to whack Tony. Tony only made Ralph copo to avoid a war. He had no other choice.

Say want you want about Tony, but he did at least have some good traits and ethics. He was disgusted that Ralph killed that girl. He had a soft spot for animals. He didn't want to order the hit on one of his capos and top earners, Vito, for being a queer. And his uncle, whom he presumably loved, he gave a pass even though he put a hit on Tony. This is one of the reasons I liked the Sopranos. They're all arguably pretty bad people, willing to rob and murder for their own interests - but they're not portrayed as one dimensional villains.

I love how the restaurant decor subtly contrasts the power dynamic between Tony and Ralph. Tony and Silvio drink wine surrounded by elegant paintings while Ralph and his crew drink water and look out onto the dark street. This highlights both the difference in power within the mob hierarchy as well as the level of sophistication with which they strategize against each other. Tony receives cogent advice from his wisest counselor while Ralph allows a sycophantic subordinate to feed his confirmation bias and ignores his future successor who states the rather obvious truth: "He is the boss. He can do what he wants." This all dovetails with the apology scene as Tony ultimately has to put Ralph in his place since he refuses to acknowledge it on his own. Excellent writing and cinematography.

D’Amato was a North jersey crime boss who was assassinated by his own family when they discovered his lifestyle. The actor has said as much in interviews. It wasnt until season 5 that the gay storyline happened. The actor pitched it to David Chase presumably sometime between seasons two and four.

Sil was the voice of reason which is why he had the position he had. Even Jackie asked him if he wanted the Big Seat, but Sil turned it down. Some people in everyday life and throughout history in many roles were content to be a power behind the throne rather than be on the throne themselves. They didn’t want the headaches, or probably in this case, the target.

What a great adviser Sil was, the thing is, Ralphie knew he was untouchable. He was far and away the biggest earner, as he himself once said, he brought in $3M a year from construction alone. You can't fuck with a guy who brings in that kind of cash. Even the Boss of New York refused to touch Ralphie during the whole joke thing about Ginny Sac. Johnny wanted Carmine to sanction a hit on Ralphie and Carmine shut him down immediately, saying "there are millions of dollars at stake". They made too much money with Ralphie and his unions. See, in the mob, if you're known as a top earner by everyone, you're almost nearly untouchable, even more so than your own rank, the most important thing is the cash you bring in to the bosses! Ralphie had major support even in New York and Tony knew that.

But Tracee was primarily meant to be compared to Meadow.

Ray Liotta was almost cast as Ralph but he decided he did not want to commit to a tv series. Liotta's Ralph would have been interesting b/c he would have been more of a rival to Tony, on every level. It was clear that Joe P.'s Ralph was a weasel and no match for Tony but a Liotta-Ralph would have constituted a true threat to Tony's leadership. Also, with a Liotta-Ralph, it would be easy to see why Tony would be concerned that an opportunist like Johnny Sack might try and install Ralph as the boss of Jersey. On the other hand, I couldn't envision Joe P.-Ralph as the boss of anything.
@jameskennedy437710 жыл бұрын
Kris Adhikari You need to check your research. It is correct that Liotta was also considered for Tony but turned it down b/c he didn't want to do a tv series. David Chase was a HUGE fan of Goodfellas and wanted Liotta in The Sopranos, which is why he was also approached about playing Ralph.

Assessed and validate some feelings of Tony, then gave clear objective advice based on the set of rules dictated by the game. He did the same thing when Tony was prideful with New York and Vito. Told him what he needed, then when dismissed, asked if he needed anything else and left. All business.

The Sopranos had some major flaws (call it artistic license if you like), the biggest one being how casually and openly people were shot and/or murdered, like Hollywood depictions of the Wild West. That links in with the issue with Ralphie. In the Sopranos world, Ralphie killing a beautiful young stripper who was an employee of the Bing and doing so outside the club which is on one of the busiest highways in New Jersey, and doing so during a mob party where Ralphie comes back in after beating her to death and puts his hand in ice; that is no big deal, maybe the equivalent of auto theft in the real world, and the real culprit is Tony for hitting him for it. But IRL mob world of 2000 or whenever this was filmed, what Ralphie did was all kinds of insane and a danger to all operations. There are so many ways that this could turn out badly. For starters, the other strippers at the party could have started talking to the police or at least leave the Bing if they didn't feel safe there. The police would have been all over this, a beautiful young woman who was pregnant and who they may have known was involved with Ralphie disappears. Just the type of thing to sway a jury.
