@@daldan66 I subscribe to the theory they wanted to do his death, but with the possibility of bringing him back. James's death in real life ended this. So nope, the show ends with a final shot of Tony, and his story ends with a killing. David Chase has sort of let the cat out of the bag now. The ending doesn't work any other way.

@@judyhopps9380 chase literally said “good they can stop asking me about it” that just means hes annoyed with constantly being asked if tonys dead or not, just pay attention to the direction the camera pans in before it cuts to black, its not towards the suspicious dude who goes to the bathroom, its towards meadow who is seen entering the diner alone

Yes, and Butch trying to walk against the tide of Chinese faces, and then giving up and turning around. (Chinatown took over Little Italy)

@@robtberardi There are chinatowns all over the world that have taken over just like that. In Europe it's unreal. Their people are what the chinese export all over the world.

That was pretty heavy handed though, lol. I liked it, but that wasn't the most subtle symbolism.

You can also read it as Butch's realisation about Phil. Where he was once felt he understood Phil (Little Italy) and the direction they were taking the war with the Sopranos has gotten out of control (hence the unfamiliar of Chinatown).

@@Maidez09 Thanks, that's another interesting take on the same symbolism.

I was only just thinking that. A lot of dead men in this scene. Untouchable show, the best ever made.

Breaks my fucking heart that most of them are dead and 16 years!!

Christ that’s funny

just made a similar comment, about being lost; always stood out to me. nice interpretation.

He and the family have been lead astray, it's sacred and propane.

I was in Little Italy in NYC a while back and it was tragic, it's been reduced to a 1 street tourist trap and being swallowed up by China Town

It's a metaphor for going too far. Things have gone too far between them and Tony. Time to turn around and get back.

And who knows what butch planned

+Britton Thompson Fantastic observation. The writing is so well done.

+Britton Thompson I think the key to that scene was the bus tour guide. Explaining how little ITALY was around 40 blocks many years ago (Large and intimidating) now it is nothing more but that one little street. Between the time Butch talked with Phil and the end of that conversation, Butch looks up and sees he is no longer in his Little Italy, but now Chinatown. Meaning it is no longer what it used to be and the once great place of little Italy is all but finished. That's how I see it.

+gutz1981 Yeah okay, I can see that and I wouldn't argue that perspective on it. I just don't place as much value in the director wanting the tour guide's overture statement on the reduction of Little Italy to be the message he most wants to underscore to the viewer, or that particular component in this scene be what he most wants the audience to pick up on. If you consider the entire series run, the notion of the Mafia and their influence now being greatly diminished compared to earlier generations of the Mob is something they've touched on since the pilot episode. Returning to that old chestnut is not as much of a pressing factor to be illustrated once again in my opinion seeing as how this is the final episode. What is very important and extremely pressing in this episode right now is a resolution of the New Jersey-Brooklyn Mob war. If Tony is going to survive this one, he needs some wildcards and x-factors to fall into place. Butch coming to the conclusion of Phil being a questionable boss who isn't taking the Family down the best road by going to war is one of those wildcards that can flip the game in Tony's favor. I just think that is a more urgent aspect in this episode instead of continuing to opine on the glory days of the Mob being gone.

+gutz1981 100% agreed, the message Chase wanted to convey was: ''it's not your grandfather's mafia anymore...''

+Britton Thompson Jesus, you're good! Seriously, I'm shocked to find such excellent posts on youtube of all places.

I was just thinking the same thing

It's almost unwatchable in a second half of Goodfellas sort of way; you want the brightness and energy of the beginning seasons but it's only natural it all devolves in to this mess of death and destruction.

Knowing I'll have to watch the blue comet stops me from rewatching the series for the thirtieth time. It doesn't get any easier.

The Many Saints of Newark is pretty dark and depressing by the end. But, it's because of Dickie's death. The prequel movie is set decades before season one, so by the time, the series begins, it's a new era

I wish they made more of this scene

LOL

jagrcantakeyou As soon as everyone left he was bitching about wasting his money

He probably got paid good money to set up the event and he got to take home all the watter bottles and boxes of cannolis. A nice, easy gig that earned him respect.

Dude went the extra mile to lay the bottles out in such a presentable and professional manner. I can only imagine how well he’d have been able to shine boxes

He wasn't a made guy but they all were

Excellent observation. I thought the same thing.

Hell yea he knew Phil was gonna kill him

Why would Phil kill butchie though? I've never understood that theory

@@pinotgrigio4707 he was pissed that he didn't take out Tony. That he was forced to go into hiding.

Yeah I see what you're saying, I didn't get the impression that he was gonna whack butchie though from that scene imo

I was just thinking that.

The scene in the home with Junior felt the same

The bleak tone in Made in America is so overwhelming it feels like a fever dream. The only scene that feels warm is Holstein's, where it all ends.

It sort of started in Season 4, which I guess is a major turning point in Tony's personal life, in that his marriage and family is never truly the same afterwards. It continues in the next seasons, but by this time, it's like the colors almost all drained out. To symbolize how bleak Tony's life and the show in general became.

Naw, Tony didn't do things like that. He was her brother and the boss. He's been looking out for her all of his life. Whatever they paid, he made sure that she got every dollar. He looked out for his father's mistress even!

​@@CryptoKernelsTony did things exactly like that..Have you not watched the show all the way through?

​@@CryptoKernelsexactly

Who knows if they even came up with a number before the last scene? If Butchie put a hit on Tony, then he had no intention of honoring that agreement. As far as the money is concerned, Tony was very insistent to Junior that none of his money went to Janice, but to Bobby's kids only. If a figure was arranged, I'd imagine Tony would want most or all of it to go to Bobby's kids, who even he sees are truly blameless in all of this.

I actually think that's part of the reason Butchie put a hit on Tony was b/c he was asking for money while also asking for a favor.

:D

great catch

look how paulie shakes butchie’s hand behind his back. i think him, butch, and little carmine all conspired to have tony whacked for various reasons. possibly/probably had patsy set up the hit using someone close/associated with eugene (members only jacket. using an associate/family of eugene makes sense because they might want to avenge his death.

Amazing catch. He turns around in a "hey you guys coming or what?" kind of way but... it's just Paulie... shaking Butch's hand...

@@natefranklin.1628I theorized that Eugene’s son did the hit on Tony. He blamed him for his fathers death. And he wore his fathers Members Only jacket.

"A pint of blood, costs more than a gallon of gold"

Even if he’s considered the inferior to his father. He’s still the son of a long reigning Boss that has deep levels of respect

Not sure I agree. Carmine doesn't shake anyone's hand at the end, he "leans" towards Tony's side as they get up from the table, but then follows Butchie as they walk away, more like a dutiful son than a mob boss.

He was a learned and wise man, whose word held a lot of weight on both sides

@@iDeathMaximuMII he had more respect than Jackie Jr had at the very least.

The man’s dead: nothings going to change that. The next best thing is to compensate his family.

@@TheColdsuit If anything I think Tony's demand for compensation is a factor in Butch's decision to arrange Tony's death after he dealt with Phil. Just my thoughts.

With the business they were in, I couldn't comprehend how Bobby went around nonchalantly, unprotected.

@@TheColdsuit very good mate 😂

@@MightySheep true

Yeah, they really say that here in brooklyn.. its funny

So it seems, so it seems

I honestly think people go way too hard on the "Tony died" train, even though the pieces don't all fit together logically. Whether Tony lives or dies in the finale, it generally misses the point about what the finale is about, which is the uncertainty that is Tony Sopranos's life.

@@Godzilla52I thought something bad happened everytime he had oranges or orange juice ?

@@Godzilla52wow I never thought about it that way but I agree with you and it’s genius

It is the Sopranos. Class doesnt need a heavy hand or heavy duty drama.

This might sound like a crazy theory but I think Tony was killed in this scene & stuck in a purgatory dream state the rest of the episode notice how this scene was edited weird like how scenes look when Tony is dreaming first they are all offered water everyone says no then it just cuts out of no where then people have water bottles then certain angles it changes water bottles appear then disappear, & look how quick tony reacted & looked back when offered the water as if he thought something was gonna come hit him from behind I don’t think none of that with the water were edit mistakes or done for no reason, another thing we all know the theory of paulie being a trader he sat in the only chair that was red & remember Bobby said you probably don’t even see it coming just like how after he asked Tony if he wants water it just cuts into like if they been talking 10 minutes already & every Tony scene after this one was just shot & edited weird like if it was all a dream & Tony didn’t even realize he was dreaming & then at the end when it just cuts black I think that was his body fully shutting down in the dream remember the first time when he was about to die he heard meadows voice as she always been his guardian angle but in the last scene as his body was fully shutting down he was hoping to see meadow one last time but his brain wouldn’t allow it & shut down in his dream the moment he was gonna see her again

He is NOW, as you HEAR first, completely out of the Occident and into the Orient, VOICES in Chinese, I am guessing. Then the quick end shot, Chinese/Asian faces (just before he gets off the phone, you can see Chinese letters on the awnings or buildings behind him), and with the voices, snow swirling...ghosty, like I said...he is in strange territory...maybe forshadowing the decision on Phil.

He was basically used, abused and killed by Janice. Janice lied and manipulated him and his children into becoming a wife and mother. And then she pushed him to go up the ladder too fast. Things go sour and then boom dead.

Yup, exactly. As soon as Butch heard that threat he realized how off the handle Phil was and that if he wasn't already a target for not wacking Tony right away he'll be at some point soon, probably over something stupid, because Phil has official lost it.

This is the third comment I see like this. Please stop spreading wrong interpretations. It was an encouraging thing. Like your parents saying you can have dessert after you eat your veggies

That interpretation is Idiotic. Why would Phil promise to kill him and then expect him to obey his orders? "You and me we're gonna sit down" is a promise of promotion, probably to Johnny Sack's recently vacated Underboss slot. Think harder.

You're probably the only person who I've seen pick up on this other than myself. From the very first season there has been a running theme where Paulie resents Tony's authority. Paulie went behind Tony's back many times with New York and always wanted to take the reigns himself. They even spent an entire episode in the final season focusing on Tony's mistrust of Paulie where they went out on the boat. Something was telling Tony to kill Paulie but he didn't and in my opinion it cost him his life. Paulie betrayed Tony in the end and took the position of Boss after his death, in my opinion. There's plenty of hints in the last season regarding Paulie playing both sides of the fence. Nobody wants to hear it, though and they'll talk about how loyal Paulie was, but in the mob it's always your closest that set you up and like I already mentioned, Paulie's resentment of Tony's authority has been well established ever since the beginning. Well spotted.

Red Billz men are talking.

He was long past redemption at that point. Almost as if Hell was already keeping him warm.

I wondered about this too. I read "Dante's Inferno" recently by Italian author/poet Dante Alighieri. When Dante and Virgil get to the lowest level of Hell, it is not a raging inferno -- it is a cold ice lake where traitors reside. The Devil is encased up to his waste in ice, with his flapping wings creating a cold ice wind while he chews on the three greatest traitors (Brutus, Cassius, and Judas). Interesting to note that Tony here is also surrounded by traitors. Butch and Albie are turning on Phil, and it is presumed by many that Paulie turns on Tony as part of this deal to end the conflict. It wouldn't surprise me if this was the symbolism Chase was going after in this scene.

because he's fat

He was as fat as a fucking grizzly. Of course he's not shivering.

He was already dead, a walking corpse

Tony was the only one who's breath wasn't coming out like a steam engine.

Nice catch 👌

Red Zodiac Tony got killed in that diner. In order for Tony to get wacked Butchie (New York) would have to work with Paulie since he was the next highest ranked next to Tony. Little Carmine had a hand in things too.

I think the look back was more casual. It was clear and deliberate, not a one off. Seemed more like he was waiting a moment for Paulie then checking for an ambush.

@@bigal5921 Tony was not killed. Read my post above!

Great catch. This line reminded me of the Godfather right away. And the place of the sitdown reminded me of where Solozzo took Tom Hagen to tell him his terms

Excellent point! I didn't think of that.

So many Godfather references on the show, love it

No it's not...it's what they would of done even without the godfather...dumaass

Even better you can hear the train in the back ground

Totally correct; your 1. point also reminds me that people also fail to get that the cold atmosphere of this meeting is not only meant to signify the decadence of the italian mafia because of their internal wars, but also, their decadence of the italian mafia as a whole in the US because as you point out by then it had significantly shrinked its influence in the US

Is it? Pretty much every show that had any sort of following still has it in the age of the internet.

I know Vito's bottom was impacted if that's what you're referring to.

Eh? That wasn't a threat. At all. It was an insincere offer of promotion.

@@cockoffgewgle4993 Or a threat, could've went both ways, though I'd lean towards the latter. Would've taken him out just like Tommy in Good Fellas.

Yeah but butch wanted to possibly reach out even before Phil uttered the dumb insincere comment. These guys weren't making money. They're too busy running around try to take out Jersey.

@@cockoffgewgle4993 Do you not speak English as a first language? There's no way that wasn't a threat.

Cockoff Gewgle clearly a threat, dude.

@@Georgieastra nice

That line always broke me up.

​@@Georgieastralisten to him, he knows everything

Evenly arranged too with some snacks 😂🤣

Yep! Seasons start out colorful and gradually get blue and grey.

He loved him, like a brother-in-law

@@DarkFilmDirector it was a...compromise.

As in it was an Order.. but since their now bribing the war to an end.. it’s a nice way to make peace

Butch basically saying 'he's not related to you by blood' (plus he was not some innocent civilian), so Tony has to bring up the sister angle before Butch relented.

+M.Bayne So true. The creaking and groaning of the building. The color's and the cold. They did a great job. I also liked the last season. Some people didn't like it when the wheels came off the crew, but it had to happen. It always ends badly for people like this in real life. A happy ending simply wasn't possible and it was interesting watching it play out.

I feel like Tony and everyone at the safehouse should have had some sort of standoff with some of Phil's guys. Not as a series finale or anything, but if Benny and Carlo got in a car and flew around from the back and fucked em up, that'd be pretty cool. Tell me otherwise.

Unless you owed him money in which case he was just another hood.

That's the point, by the end of the series italian mafia hadn't have even half the power they once have, they were in decline, these cold atmosphere is meant to show that
