The Sopranos - Tony Meets With New Boss Johnny Sack

[@greg1474]

Most Sopranos fans know that Vincent Curatola was a stone mason contractor before he became an actor. He got small parts, but nothing big, and was still a contractor when he auditioned for the Sopranos. He said during an interview that he was late for his audition for Johnny Sack. The assistant casting director scolded him and almost sent him away, but she allowed him to read the scene. The audition bit was that Johnny Sack was angry, and was going to issue threats. Vincent decided to read the scene very subdued. He used that soft voice of his, with his cold, menancing stare while doing the audition. He was asked to come back the next day to read for David Chase, and got the role. He later found out that all of the other actors up for the part read their lines with flailing gestures and over-the-top stereotypical mobster behavior. The Sopranos directors and Chase saw in Vincent a true genius who could nail the role of Johnny Sack.

[@wil318466]

The line of him saying it's his cousin is so genuine is because of the deep ties to family. Its one thing to make money or have ties to other people or to do your duty, but in the end every man makes a choice between family and...other things. That choice is what defines many people.

[@rayferrero3688]

Johnny Sack had enough of Tony's shit by this time. Tony screws Johnny over with the Carmine hit a year before, then Tony doesn't even back Johnny for boss even though the two were extremely close and Johny was the rightful successor. Then Tony B. murders Johnny's protege Joey Peeps and Johnny still let's it go with minimal response. Then Tony B. kills the brother of Johnny's own captain, another slap in the face to him One might think that Johnny was being unreasonable in not even accepting Tony's offer of killing Tony B himself, but frankly Johnny had a position, and as boss he needed to show Tony that the nonsense was over. He also needed to send a clear message to all the families, that if you're going to screw around with them, this is what's going to happen. It would undermine Johnny's leadership, make him look weak and vulnerable to see him roll over again for Tony (the boss of the glorified crew over in Jersey). Honestly, I think Johnny was pretty restrained here considering the problems Tony caused him in the past year. I would have expected a lot worse from him.

[@richardrenner3974]

The scene was shot under two different bridges [in Brooklyn]. When we see Tony, we see the Brooklyn Bridge in the distance. They are under the Manhattan Bridge-which is just north of the Brooklyn Bridge. John's scenes were shot under the Brooklyn Bridge itself. When we see Tony, they are under the Manhattan Bridge, as a subway [the one I ride daily] passes overhead. But while they talk and we see John, the subway we can still hear but isn't above visually. Because they then are under the Brooklyn Bridge for that shot-Yes, John's response was edited in to seem like they were at one location. The Brooklyn Bridge has no subways. When we see John talking, behind him, under the bridge across the East River in Manhattan, we see three pyramid light structures at water level; that's the Fulton Street Market, that John Gotti's captains were involved in in the seafood trade in 80s. If, when the scene delivers, and you look closely at the structures of the bridges, they are different. The Manhattan Bridge [seen above Tony] clearly has triangular support columns along the road level [not the towers], but the Brooklyn Bridge at the road level are just vertical supports. Again, both scenes shot in Brooklyn, so across the river for Tony is the backdrop of Manhattan's lower Chinatown and Latina housing developments-or projects, while John's side of Manhattan shows Wall Street, Pace University, Fulton Market, and what were the Trade Towers. They did a great job with the editing of the conversation that you would never know this was shot twice at two different locations. These exact locations are parks now. They were empty lots of tall grass and discarded cars and concrete-basically dumping grounds of dead hookers, junkies, rubbed out mob enemies. I'd been down there in my teens.

Tony B brought nothing to the table, he wasn't respected or feared like Silvio or Paulie, Bobby B, Ralph, Carlo, any of Tony's soldiers or captains. He wasn't even officially in the family.

@@WaAaAaAaW yh but it wasnt cause he was afraid of New York or fking Johny Sack (which for a second I though Tony was going to outrage like he always does and beat the living shit out of Johny, which btw d been fun to watch) his panics attacks were some kind of "empathy" or reflection over things hes done to others I think

[@Rutherford_Inchworm_III]

Fear of what? He was ambushing an unsuspecting family member with a shotgun. I think what you may have meant to say was he had no hesitation or doubt, which is true - he'd made up his mind (after trying everything else) that Tony B. needed to die, but he was going to do it himself and it was going to be instant and painless, not even enough time to yell.

It wasn't really about Tony being his cousin, it had to do more with the fact that Tony didn't like the way Johnny was acting and talking towards him.

[@jfjsas07]

Ricky Ray Yes, but you must know the circumstances and be able to confine your personal emotions within certain limits. Tony didn't show it and acted like a five year old child with NY.

[@rickyray2794]

jfjsas07 Oh that I know and agree with

[@Lietiel]

Ricky Ray It WAS about Tony B. being his cousin. Johnny implied that Phil would kill Tony B. slowly, meaning torture. For Tony S., seeing how pompous Johnny was being merely served as the last straw. Tony S. was a Boss himself, so it made sense that being treated that way would act as a trigger. Like Silvio once said, Tony's main flaw was pride. Tony S. would serve up Tony B. for the good of the Family, but he drew the line at torture. Because that's his fuckin' cousin. lol

[@rickyray2794]

+Lietiel I don't think so, I think it did have a bit to do with that but I think it had a lot more to do with the fucked up way Johnny was acting towards him.

[@kaalvoetpiet3442]

[@bodsnvimto]

This is one of my favourite scenes. Johnny Sack was my favourite of the second shelf characters in the series. The entire programme was superior based on its ambiguity, and he was the best in that regard.

[@Ghosthound_X]

I just love the atmosphere of this scene so much. Best show ever.

[@WinstonHofler]

I love the look Johnny gives to Tony at 2:14. Johnny knows if Tony kills Tony B, Phil won’t let it slide and will always hold a grudge towards Tony for it. Worse, Johnny also realizes if Phil makes his way through the ranks, there will only be more hatred towards Tony’s crew which would eventually end in complete bloodshed, which it did.

[@1914jblue]

Since Johnny is the new boss, he had to consolidate power and get Phil completely on his side and his reputation with the family also an opportunity to humble Jersey. Carmine would never meet Tony at night by a bridge so of course Johnny could not. Phil had legit beef so Johnny had to give it to him. That’s why Tony killed that animal blundetto on way that Phil could see that the job was done so he couldn’t be too mad. But still mad that he was denied retribution.

[@brucemichaelgrossman4913]

I think what's happening here is Johnny remembers the way his wife was mocked, and how he was denied his right to avenge her, so he's not going to let Phil waiver that right when it comes to his brother. Brilliant writing.

[@ΜάκηςΤυχάλας]

Who have more power,Tony or Jonny?Anybody knows?

[@O.G.H.]

Μάκης Τυχάλας Well, usually the boss of New York has more power, as they have more soldiers and associates. While Jonny Sac was more powerful than Tony at the begin of his career as the new boss of NY, he lost everything when the feds inprisoned him. After that he slowly lost any power and influence. So basically NY>NJ

These scenes by the bridge with the NYC cityscape in the background are beautiful. It's amazing how you don't see many night scenes like this in modern movies. NYC is mostly portrayed in artsy Woody Allen movies or attacked by CGI monsters.

I'd strongly recommend Inside Llewelyn Davis for that. It's set in the 60s but has a really palpable flavour for winter in East Village

[@ms.annthrope415]

No sense of noir. The 1940s-1950s produced the greatest noir movies using blac and white to convey thr hidden and the lurking threats, the sordidnesss of the city, the grim and grime of night.

Wow great ending about how New Jersey feels about New Yorkers

[@charlesharper7792]

I like how Tony and Johnny's cars both represent their character and status at the time. Tony's car being a large and powerful four by four, that reminds us of Tony's physical strength and brutish nature, while the modesty of the car showcases to us that he is only the boss of a small family in Jersey (you could also say it shows Tony's intelligence as he doesn't want a flash car that would attract the attention of the FEDS). Compare this with Johnny Sacks sleek sports car which represents his slender build and his quick and cunning nature. It also reminds us that he's the new boss of a far larger and wealthier family in New York (I also think it could be a subtle reminder of one of John's major flaws, which is his ego, finding the need to show off his status and wealth with a flashy sports car). Anyway sorry for the ramble I just love the symbolism in this show.

Johnny threatens Chris, then John says "either you deliver that prick to my door or I'll rain a shitstorm down on you and your family like you've never fucking seen. We're done here." Tony has a biggest balls ever here. That NY threat is so dangerous from an acting boss and 2nd in command, Tony is so in the wrong by mob standards. Phil is actually right.
