06:24 (Who killed Dickie?)
09:01 (Why was he killed?)
With the news that Sopranos creator David Chase and one of the original Sopranos directors Alan Taylor were making a new Sopranos prequel movie, The Many Saints of Newark, fans were excited. Not least because, as the title suggests - Many saints translating as Moltisanti - the new Sopranos movie would centre on Tony’s mentor, the great Dickie Moltisanti, played by Alessandro Nivola in the movie. Fans speculated that since Dickie is the main character, surely he must die in the end to give the film closure, and if that happens, we’ll finally have this mystery solved. And as it turned out, that is exactly what happened.
So who killed Dickie Moltisanti, and why? Was it really the cop? Was it Tony Soprano? Johnny Boy? Uncle Junior Soprano? Why was Dickie shot?
-------------------------
Why did Uncle Junior kill Dickie Moltisanti? Did Paulie Gualtieri shoot Dickie Moltisanti?

I still can’t believe it was Junior who ordered the hit. And the crazy thing is, nobody ever found out. And because Junior ended up getting dementia, he’ll likely go to his grave with that secret!

And Tony, the man himself, he went about life never knowing that his childhood hero was killed by the very man he used to play catch with!

Not sure who pulled the trigger but I believe Junior's motive for having Dickie killed was solely down to the fact that he didn't like to be made fun of. Season 1 of Sopranos proves a lot of this - Junior had Brendan whacked because he and Christopher were disrespecting him in the truck hijackings, he had Donnie killed because of a joke he made about Tony's mother, which Junior tells Mikey, "Next he'll be making jokes about me", and he was humiliated when Tony made open references about his sexual secrets, resulting in him to lash out against Bobbi Sanfillipo.

It was known that Gandolfini and Chase fought a lot regarding scripts, charaterizations, and story continuity, which made the series better for it. I wonder if Gandolfini would have fought Chase over the choices he made for Many Saints. Look what happened when no one was there to question and second guess George Lucas!

[@santinorocco497]

The choice of actors was bad expect Johnny & tony soprano plus Joey Diaz. I don’t think he ( the main actor) could carry the role as Dickie or be believable he had no charisma as leading man or convincing as a killer.

And change a line where his character called a bully, to a psycho. He refused to play a rat or a Bully. Outside of that, there were absolutely NO changes to the scripts.

I thought Paulie was the voice as well. Until I saw Jilly Ruffalo listed in the credits played by Ed Marinaro. Which led me to investigate in what scenes I missed him. Until I found out the scene was cut from the film. The original scene was Junior giving the hit to Jilly to carry out. I’ve watched interviews with actor Ed Marinaro and it is indeed his voice that is heard over the phone saying “it’s done”. So I believe Jilly had Barry Haydue carry out the hit.

[@sweaty_shooter7354]

It would have been great if they explained why in the movie this was a golden opportunity to really tell the backstories of many of the beloved cast we watched throughout the Sopranos. Imagine a younger Ralph Cifereto Richie Aprele Sr Fitch Lamona even Tony blundeto. The blue print was there sadly it was disregarded for a thrill of the week Black lives matter PC agenda fest. Imo I feel it's a huge tr a gedy for all old and new Sopranos fans alike.

[@Gelos.]

I think youre wrong about Dickie steering Tony away from the mob. He was ready to bring him in with the speakers and only decides to step away from Tony after his Uncle advised him to. By the end Silvio had convinced Dickie to meet Tony and its implied that hes going to bring him into the life. Im not sure why people keep saying Dickie was steering Tony away from the life when the movie clearly shows the opposite

[@APOCALYPSE_X-MEN]

To be fair, Silvio does bring up the point that Tony could be bigger than any of them outside of the Mafia. It can be stated that Dickie was going to continue to mentor Tony but to try to steer him away from criminality and to continue his "good deeds."

[@Gelos.]

@@APOCALYPSE_X-MEN I can see that but it can also be stated that Dickie truly loved his goomar, still killed her though.

This is one of those films where the ending makes you want to watch it over again. Then when you do, it all makes sense. This was definitely in line with Juniors character. The revelation of Dickie being killed on his orders is also in line with the many layers, and layers of lies and misinformation that this group of characters plant, then let fester and grow through the years. The film was well done and it keeps true to the Soprano's lore.

I agree.. a true Soprano fan (in my opinion) will read understand this GREAT movie.. it’s deeper than what is displayed.. you really have to sit there & think past what you’re seeing for a lot of things to make sense.. I believe they did an outstanding job.. my husband felt the same way at first when he watched it, but after I explained to him a few things he sat back & watched it again paying CLOSE attention, & now he loves it just as much as I do.. it may seem mediocre to the eye (in comparison to someone who has never seen the Sopranos, & they decide to watch this movie for the first time, not having any knowledge of all of the “backstory” or events that previously happened, but in actuality the events in the Sopranos were all the aftermath to this movie) it’s fucking GENIUS!

[@blackwidow2679]

Agree 100%. Uncle Junior was simply riding on Johnny Boy Soprano's coattails and no one really respected Junior. I always considered Uncle Junior as the male version of Tony's mother, Livia Soprano (a pessimistic, pain in the bum). Dickie Moltisanti was regarded as a heroic and highly influential figure among the DiMeo family. Should Johnny Boy Soprano been killed, "Eckley" DiMeo, would've grown very tired of Junior Soprano and had him taken out and promoted Dickie Moltisanti. You don't think Uncle Junior knew this? Fastforward: Tony has the support to take over the family after Aprile's death, but fears Junior will start a war if he is not named boss and the family didn't need the attention of law enforcement attention.

However they’re going back and showing that junior himself deserves no sympathy as he is also a cruel person

In the series Tony has a deep love for Junior, a love of family. But Tony had a deeper love and awe of Dickey. Dickey brought him up and schooled him according to the series. There’s no way Tony would have had those feelings for Junior if he knew Junior was involved in Dickey’s death. According to the series, Dickey definitely took out Jilly Ruffalino’s eye because Chis admit’s he always heard it all about Dickey taking out someone’s eye. The only thing that can make it all tie up is Junior hired Jilly to kill Dickey cuz he knew Jilly had a beef with him. Jilly subcontracted the hit out to Barry Haydoo. Tony never knew Junior’s involvement.

[@KidFresh71]

This is the best mediocre movie I’ve ever seen. Perplexing. Wasn’t totally disappointed, and yet definitely wasn’t blown away. Great acting, interesting characters, some cool action sequences, deeper themes of family, loyalty & betrayal… and yet the sum is LESS than it’s parts. Disjointed? Lacks flow? No focus? Yes, yes & yes. I want “Many Saints” as a series, taking a deeper dive into these plot lines which never quite come together (despite the finality of the ending). While I give the movie an overall thumbs-up, I can’t fully recommend this movie to anyone other than hardcore Sopranos fans like myself.

[@Assimilator702]

I had the same feeling at the end of the film. Where the Sopranos series dug DEEP, Saints seems to only scratch the surface. A 10 part series would have served Saints much better. And of course the way it’s shot never once do we feel like we’re watching the Sopranos. Should we have? Not sure but it could have easily been an unrelated movie with different characters.

Junior falling and Dickie laughing was the last straw for Junior. If you watch the movie, there are several instances where Dickie teases Junior, or others tease Junior and Dickie legitimizes that teasing (the bar scene when Junior's goomar doesn't show up, and gets teased that she is cheating on him). Then when Johnny Boy gets out of prison, Johnny Boy states to Junior, "Why can't you be more like Dickie"...all of these assertions anger Junior, but the last straw is when Junior falls and Dickie is laughing at him. These are subtle clues as to how Junior takes everything so seriously and doesn't like being teased.

My theory is that people just started talking mad smack after Dickie died. It probably started as a rumor because they found the psych meds which were destined for Tony's mother in Dickies pocket. Just look at the Sopranos and how often after a character is killed or otherwise indisposed of they are suddenly spoken very ill of.

My theory is maybe he did it after the war, or maybe his wife told Chris something that no one knew, and he kicked the habit, the great thing about the sopranos is the secrets we don’t know about and what not, but the most likely is Chris thinking/believing addiction is a disease and could possibly be hereditary

MSON really helps you reset your view of The Sopranos. Dickie never “saw it coming” as Bobby stated in Home Movies. Young Tony didn’t see Dickie coming to Holsten’s in the last scene and older Tony never saw it coming at Holsten’s in The Sopranos. Tony was whacked.

Paulie always had a guilty conscience and felt responsible for Chris whether he was feuding with him or not. Chris was the only person that Paulie felt any remorse toward on the show other than the woman thought to be his birth mother. Chris and Paulie were oddly always linked in the series. That's not for nothin. I think this substantially points to Paulie as the likely triggerman. And yeah, the guy on the phone sounded exactly like Paulie.

Lastly you are delusionally fantasizing about the mob's power they lost entire cities to "minor groups" after the Rico's and they never had full control before. Most gangs date back to the fifties and late sixties and they had no ties to the mob, big cities during these times were WARZONES people weren't sucking off the mob how you imagine. On top of that they were infighting constantly Dickie getting killed by Junior before retaliating against Harold was very realistic.

Great explanation. Thanks.

[@_DJ_Smith]

The only thing this movie showed to me that there’s still a high demand for “All Things Sopranos”. Hopefully this movie shows there’s a huge demand and David Chase gives us more. Going to the movie I was disappointed to not see the Old Man and actual boss of the family(unless I missed it). No Ray Curto who was one of the oldest copos. Where was Feech? Where was a young Ralph, Larry Boy? Richie? I wanted to see the Soprano family members of that era. Hopefully they continue with Tony’s rise through the family so we can at least see the card game heist and who really saved them. Was it Richie, Johnny Boy, or both. My guess would be Tony’s Dad considering who he was, but Richie around that time was a Capo and a force so who knows. I liked the movie but was left with too many questions. I thought Sil and Tony was childhood friends and ran in a crew with Jackie, Tony, and Ralph growing up? On the movie it makes it seems like Sil was much older. It was established that Puss and Paulie was older already. Idk 🤷🏾‍♂️, been holding that rant in for awhile, just hoping this movies showed the public still craves Soprano content and they give us more of it!

[@feliperamosramos6568]

The idea of Junior taking over Dickie's operations is interesting. Couple things though. 1. The movie leaves the structure of the family pretty ambiguous. DiMeo is still the boss, but a minor character. It's plausible to read Dickie as capo of a major crew. But for most of the movie, the crews aren't clearly defined and Johnny, Dickie and Junior just seem to vaguely outrank everyone else, even if Johnny and Dickie are more respected. 2. The show clearly establishes Junior as having a number of soldiers his own age in addition to some muscle Tony's age or younger: Beppy, Murf Lupo, Bobby Sr. and Tommy. Some of the old guys still kick up to Junior in the loony bin after he shoots Tony. So it would stand to reason he already had some supporters in the family by the time of Many Saints.

@CJWAll, that’s a solid post. Most of the bad reviews are from die hard fans that wanted Season 8 of the series. I feel there were too many fan service moments. How many times does JR have to say “ya sista’s cunt!’? And still says it 40 years later, and “what a blow”. We get it. That’s JR Soprano. What COULD have been done was more thematic development on why in God’s name JR would whack Dickie. Yes, Jr was a very jealous, insecure, petty person. But...a little more development? I guess that would have taken the shock value out if the phone booth scene. Sil’s physical mannerisms were great. His voice? Cartoonish. I really liked the Dickie character, and that actor was superb. Think of the whole thing as Chrissy’s screenplay he’s reading to us...from hell!!!

It baffles me that people disliked junior having Dickie killed. I highly doubt it was just for him being made fun of. The whole essence of sopranos is that you don’t truly understand the characters’ emotions or motivations. Throughout the whole film, you think Dickie will be killed due to the rival black gang, but it turns out it’s for a supposedly stupid and petty reason from Junior. That really felt like a David Chase moment, to have this larger than life character removed for reasons we don’t fully understand.

[@Steelfan-oe7ok]

I thought it was what made it more interesting and the hope of a second one even better

[@75aces97]

There were elements of the movie I didn't like, but Dickie getting killed at Junior's behest is a perfectly Sopranos trajectory. All along, the series sets up characters for some operatic arc, only for them to get killed for stupid, petty reasons that make no sense. You think you know how a guy is going to die in some tit for tat, but then he slips on a bar of soap and breaks his neck. Which is fitting, because these are mobsters. They get into the rackets because they want the easy way out in life--hanging out in strip clubs all day, wearing track suits, quipping about old movies--and they end up tripping over other gangsters who are equally lazy, stupid, petulant, spiteful, and jealous. When they do finally get together on some score, they end up stealing from each other, or stepping in each other's toes and screwing it all up.

[@CommanderLongJohn]

"A David Chase moment," people fail to realize how much of an influence Terrence Winters (among others) played on The Sopranos.. There's a good reason why David Chase worked in anonymity prior to Sopranos-and did virtually nothing afterwards aside a B movie (cause his life goal was to be a filmmaker) 🥴 This whole entire plot makes absolutely no logical sense whatsoever: There isn't a shot in hell Johnny Boy would tolerate this, besides Johnny being a huge earner and a legend (and a member of their crew) he was a close friend; we're also expected to believe Junior is this petty-bitter-angry-old man (at 40yrs old & higher up than Dickie) who's gonna murder this guy for laughing at him?? The same guy we've seen act on logic/common sense and use his wits to make decisive decisions, Tony's second consigliere and the Don Vito to his Michael Corleone (until the dementia)... This whole story wouldn't of even held up, they'd of killed this "Jilly Ruffalo" literally days within finding out who pulled the trigger (some jerk off beat cop at the time-not a detective with pull), and if this other made guy was implicated he'd of fervently denied any involvement..
