The absolute deadness in Tony's eyes as he kills Chris says it all. That scene was so disturbing.
Recently got done watching the entire series. I’m 27, luckily I managed to avoid or not remember any spoilers through it’s time. Experiencing this for the first time, coming from a huge fan of mob movies. I loved it, it was a heartbreaking series. You want Tony to succeed so bad at becoming a good person.. but the show just constantly reminds you he can’t change.
This is absolutely well-done and well-thought out. Kudos to you. I can't believe I just noticed the J. Rossi for the suspect of Melfi's attacker - and Karen Hill having issues with Janice Rossi in Goodfellas. The endless subtle layers of this show (amongst plenty of other reasons) - truly will make this show continue to be talked about for decades to come and why I will always rewatch a few episodes of this instead of trying watch any new show.
I can't fathom how someone could write a show this brilliant, amazing video
Tony never really changed though. That was kind of the genius of the show.
My favourite show of all time. Brilliant breakdown. Makes me want to watch it again
I am truly thankful to everybody involved with telling this story. It’s a great lesson for very real struggles that exist in Italian families, and all other families too. But the attention to particular detail in Tony’s Italian Anerican manifestation of this tale is unbelievable
A lot of people miss the Catholic guilt element when it comes to the complexities of Tony’s character. I also look at Tony’s mother and his sisters, Janice who has the ‘mafia traits and mindset’ but misses out because she's a woman, and then the younger sister, because she was a girl, got to leave that life. Is Tony more like his other sister, who had to stay because he was a man, or is he like Janice and his mother? But more powerful due to his gender and his physical size? This is why the show is freaking awesome.
Love your channel. I've rewatched Sopranos at least five time through, and you still opened my eyes to many new things I never picked up on. Your analysis' are incredible.
Always love sopranos breakdowns the shows depth is remarkable.
This video is fantastic. One of the best I've seen since finishing the show
This is a great video, as always. However I think you get some things wrong here. Melfi, for example, isn't the one that convinces Tony not to kill the soccer coach. Artie convinced him that it was wrong after getting an earful from Charmaine about it. A more crucial inaccuracy, however, is saying that Melfi didn't tell Tony about her rapist in protection of his progress. That "No" at the end of Employee of the Month is so powerful because Melfi is rejecting Tony's way of dealing with life. She sees the unfairness in the world, but decides to listen to her own morality by not having Tony act against her rapist. All of this is to say that The Sopranos is an extremely nuanced show and while this video condenses 6 seasons of one character's arc neatly, there is a lot of complexity behind the simplifications made here.
Thanks!
Excellent! I need to watch this again.
Great breakdown. I think Tony is a typical sociopath and honestly, Dr. Melffie should've ended his therapy long before she did. Yes, at times it seemed to help but ultimately he used to justify his behavior. Which, if we're being honest was bad most of the time. Yes he was born into that life. But the golden age of mafia was gone. He was modern day mafia and didn't have to cheat on his wife. And let's not forget, Christopher was right about him and Adriana. The only reason they didn't get coked up and bang was because of the crash. That shit was on...lol
This was EXCELLENT.
Deepest greatest series ever made
1 minute in and can already tell this is an extremely up and coming channel, keep it up
I would love to see a video on how much a sociopath Carmela is! Everyone ignores it because of Tony but she manipulates and hurts people too. xoxo
