The Sopranos: Tony returns home after break up

Tony returns home after break up with carmela. Rip james gandolfini.

[@shadowman2192]

If their is one sound synonymous with Tony Soprano its the sound of his breathing.

[@Werrrrs]

its chases way of playing up tony's constant anxiety.......genius!

[@UBZUKki]

The fatter he got, the more laboured his breathing became....

[@shadowman2192]

I hate when that happens.

[@dd.4910]

He's personified as a bear crashing through the branches in the episode where he escaped the FBI at Sack's house

[@anorourke8682]

Was he pressured by the show to put on extra weight, or did it just happen? I didn't see any reason for him to be bigger than he was in the earlier seasons. I'd hate to think this show contributed directly to his passing...

[@verbplural5631]

watching Soprano's clips makes me feel like eating, drinking red wine and being in charge of a bunch of psychopaths who say great one liners while being dead serious.

[@claymac7895]

That look on Carmela’s face at the end.. Brilliant. You can read exactly what Carmela is feeling. Eddie Falco didn’t get enough credit for her role in creating the masterpiece Sopranos became.

[@prettyvirginflaka2345]

to a point I agree, I mean I have never heard anyone said she did a bad job cause she did an absolutely marvelous job but I do think she got a bit outshined by James Gandolfini and for that reason people have not talked as much about her part even though it is a perfect casting as well. I also have to give it to Frank Vincent his casting as Phil Leotardo was one of the best in the show or any show I honestly felt he almost stole every scene he was in including the ones with James Gandolfini

[@Nicomaaan]

Carmela annoyed me in the beginning until I realized that she loved her husband and family so much. She’s a strong woman taking him back.

Tony is watching the film "It's A Gift" (1934) while eating ice-cream. This is the same film he watches in the Season 3 episode "The Telltale Moozadell" as he lays in bed eating cake. Perhaps a signal to Carmela, that nothing really has changed with Tony.

[@mythicalmountancentralasia6183]

I have know several women in similar circumstances. It is sad that the women, lacking a means of financial independence have to tolerate often terrible treatment at the hands of their spouse, because they have grown accustomed to a certain life-style and are 1. reluctant to sacrifice life-style for a sense of well being 2. caveat material objects over self respect 2. lack a means of supporting themselves and their children

[@jfjsas07]

But why is it sad? I can't commiserate with them since they are themselves utterly responsible for the consequences of their choices. You have written yourself that they choose an easy life-style and material objects over their well-being and independence, and thus, when they are in dire straits, they are often unable and unwilling to leave their husbands. It's called a "quid pro quo".

[@daniellee1722]

Carmela had maids in freakin' New Jersey. All that time her kids were in grade school and up she could've went back to school, make something of herself. Her spec house was a way to turn a fast profit but still dependent on Tony's connections and money. I also know several women in her position, the difference is they buy themselves $800 Hermes scarves.
