    Incredibly important part of this episode - before the car accident and Tony’s subsequent murder of Christopher, the last lyrics heard on the (ball-lacking) car stereo:
    “The child is grown
    The dream is gone…”
    The familial love between Tony and Chrissy has dried up. Who knows, if another more upbeat song is playing, maybe Tony doesn’t commit that murder. The lyrics of Pink Floyd succinctly spell out the spoiled dynamic between mentor and former mentee.
    Furthermore, Christopher wearing that Cleaver hat around Tony isn’t doing himself any favors. On the surface level, Chrissy knows Tony wasn’t a fan of his whole moviemaking side-trip, so it’s a defiant eff-you to his mob boss. On a subtle level, unbeknownst to Chrissy, the symbol of the cleaver brings up all sorts of childhood trauma Tony experienced. Namely, watching his dad chop off a “nice man’s” finger, which led to Tony’s first panic attack.
    The layers of symbolism on The Sopranos show the incredible care put into the creation of this series, and the genius of its creators.

      Yeah but as David Chase says on the DVD's in regards to Michael Imperioli/ Chris'to'fuh Moltissanti,
      " this guy should've died seasons ago. "
      Chase then added 'Tony killing him by pinching his nose and cutting off his air to his lungs, gives both these huge liars a mafia way out. ' !
      Chris does die without informing on anyone in the Mob, and Tony feels like the 'big man' OR
      as Chase says it can conveniently dump anything and everything on to Chris'to'fuh.
      Tony who pretends that he cannot cope with another death so close to his real 'Mob family' takes off to Las Vegas.
      All this sadness and depression has Tony Soprano staying in high end suites.
      Amazingly, and highly
      unexpectedly
      Tony then goes and bangs Chris's Las Vegas paramour. Anthony aka Tony Soprano is so pathetic he cant even get decently laid.
      He has to use his VERY recent dead nephew's goombah, who is in genuine shock and you can tell actually likes Chris.
      Tony Soprano with all his " I get it . . . I get it, I get in and then . . . bloahhhh . . .

      Baume & Mericer Watch:
      for all the watch geeks out there is a pun intended, that Tony doesn't get it. Forget the spirit or the peyote dreams, Tony again tries to "buy his way out' of trouble with Carmilla, and hence the high end, dare we say 'pretentious' Baume & Mericer
      watches. One episode later, Carmella throws hers against her own house walls. So much for all the desert, soar in the sky like an eagle spirituality !
      Tony is NOT a spiritual person, he never is or ever was, hence the cat later.
      Interesting point that Paulie who might be into psychics and
      "tell Paulie 3 00 clock, meaning 3 AM . . .

    I think the main reason Tony tries to convince everyone that Chris was a bad guy was to assuage his own guilt. As a malignant narcissist, Tony cannot allow them to think of Chrissy's death as a tragedy, because in his mind, he could never cause a tragedy. In his mind, everything he does is 100% justified, and God help you if you're not on the same page. Tony puts his need to feel justified in killing Christopher above his family's need to mourn Chris' death. Just more evidence of what a truly awful human being Tony became.

      His affinity for movies is only another way to escape reality. He's not an artist or capable of writing/directing. What really hurt him about being with Tony, is that Tony is intelligent and Christopher is not. Tony even watches all kinds of classic movies and has a home theater in his house. Christopher doesn't even watch other slasher films when he is producing one. Tony isn't worried about Chris making it in the movie business. He's worried that he's so stupid and uncreative, that he will spill all sorts of secrets, which he eventually does with his film.

    A friend of mine who’s also a Sopranos fan summarised Christopher like this:
    “I guess people are constantly on the precipice of change and they just don’t, mostly because they are their own worst enemy, which Christopher was.”
    I think this is a beautiful summary of the character. My personal view on Christopher getting killed is mixed. David Chase loved to go against audience expectations which may have helped decide to take the character in that direction. Part of me hoped he’d either redeem himself, actually prove he could be Tony’s successor or, better yet, realise for good that the mafia life isn’t for him! The angle they seemed to be taking in season 6 B was him starting a family, having a nice house, getting more into the movie business, he is ready to drop it all when he pours his heart out to that writer that he could just sell all the stories he has as movie scripts. I think if the Adriana/FBI situation had happened whilst he was at THIS stage, he would’ve sided with her. I just think he really could’ve cleaned himself up if he tried but he was surrounded by so-called “friends” who undermined his sobriety and the fact that by the end, he was heading towards a life they don’t have, a loving family not plagued by the threat of incarceration or death. He didn’t stand a chance, the people he was with, it is a culture of hanging out, getting drunk with your buddies and an industry of danger where, to quote Tony “the hussle never ends”.
    But yes, I do totally get Tony’s thinking, it’s in character and does make sense. Throughout the series, with every impulsive blunder or embarrassment, Tony gave Chris warning after warning, second chance after second chance. Despite being practically the father Chris never had, showing genuine affection for him at times, Tony always knew in his heart that at the end of the day, Christopher was just another stressful presence in his life and made a decision that he was a lost cause who had to be removed. It was a selfish decision and it does show how genuinely awful he is at heart. And he finally gets it in the end of this episode, this is the worst thing he has ever done and he knows there is no saving him from hell now.

      @@somethingsomething3691 Very true, but there's still difference in The Sopranos and Godfather in how they tell their stories. There's far more reason to understand but most importantly continue empathizing with Michael Coreleone as opposed to Tony.
      Firstly the relationship between Michael & Fredo was way more fractured. That Fredo could be manipulated in working with the enemy and nearly destroying his own family means he was a true weak link and a threat to not only Michael but everyone associated and dear to him. Imagine if Fredo had been arrested by the government, one friendly detective & interrogation later & Fredo would sing like a canary. Christopher though while certainly not the brightest was a very loyal person especially to Tony. He chose Tony & the Mafia over his one true love.
      Besides that though The Godfather still has you emotionally connected to Michael, at the end of Part 2 and it continues into Part 3 Michael is a very broken man. The final scene of 2 (and start of 3) is Michael sitting on a bench overcome with grief and sadness over the family he lost and no doubt having Fredo murdered sits on his tortured soul.
      Tony on the otherhand, he doesn't give a shit. He's just a downright evil person. There's no sign of guilt (arguably besides him being unnerved that those around him grieve over Chris). While David Chase and the writers were rarely cautious in not showing Tony's darkness this was the key moment where we cannot make any arguments that Tony did something horrendously evil. Not to mention that it's his own hands snuffing out Christopher. Even Michael had to have someone else do the deed.

      One of the things The Sopranos did so well--and a lot of fans wilfully ignore it--is make you cheer for the bad guy. And then they shove that fact in your face in multiple ways during season 6: "Hey, this is the bad guy you've been supporting all along."

    What most fans never discuss is that Tony’s only option to deal with troublesome people is by killing them. He could have warned Vito stay away from New Jersey because he would have end up being killed, he could have sent Christopher away to work in Hollywood and so on. We see in the TV show that there are other retired mobsters from the DiMeo crime family, so that option existed before Tony became the boss. Christopher was a monster (to us), but he was deeply loyal to Tony. He was the one who got rid of Richie Aprile and Ralph’s bodies (to help him not face the wrath of the other members of his family) and, most importantly, he allowed his own fiancée to be murdered, all to protect Tony. But Tony only wanted people who showed 100% contentment in their relationship to him. Anything less he treated as betrayal. Deeply sick person.

    • @Sillysoft

      He didnt want Chris working in hollywood because Tony only cared about what would happen to him if Chris talked, either directly without being under his thumb or through the scripts/movies he made. Tony actually mentioned that while talking to Chris in one episode while they were at a bbq. I believe it is when Arty had his place blown up.

    • @selfdo
      @selfdo 2 роки тому

      What's interesting is seeing the empty infant car seat behind them apparently triggers him to kill Chris. Naturally, since this was right after the rollover accident, Tony probably hadn't planned to kill Chris anyway. Why did he kill him on the spur of the moment? Of course it's not explicitly stated, but apparently that's where Tony had enough of Chris' bullshit, which now was endangering even his wife and child, whom apparently Chris didn't respect. Cold? Hell yes, it was cold, but that's what makes a leader...you do what you have to do, WHEN it needs to be done. Tony knew Chris was still doing "blow" and he was too much of a loose cannon to put up with anymore; the accident shook Tony into REALITY.

And that he'll never have a chance to make it up to him, and probably led to this happening, albeit somewhat indirectly.
    When even Paulie has me feeling empathy for him in the moment, it's a heavy thing. Plus his mother dies the next day, it's just a bad time to be Paulie.

    Christopher chose Tony over Adriana.
    And Tony ends up killing him anyway.

    This episode was among the most emotionally depraved in the show, but one of the funniest and darkest lines in its entire run is when Tony sees Christopher’s adoptive mother wailing over his dead body, and and he just says “fuckin’ James Brown ova here!”

    I honestly thought one of the prior episodes that showed chris and tony stealing the guys wine was gonna end in christufas death. However seeing chrissy die in the beginning of this episode was even more shocking and so sudden, and just seeing Tony trying to justify his actions inevitably devolving into finally accepting what he did. What a great episode.

    This first time watching this episode I thought Tony was dreaming that he killed Chris that’s how much I couldn’t believe he could be that cold 🤦‍♂️

    Tony created a hell for himself much earlier in the series.

    The beauty and isolation of the western desert at sun rise is such a magnificent visual contrast to all the cluttered urban New Jersey scenes. The outro music is Calexico's "For Better Metal" and it's just perfect.

    I think this is why they had Christopher kill JT in the last episode so that we wouldn't really hate Tony for killing Christopher and after what they did to Adrianna I was still upset and angry with them. I also think Tony knew Chris was on something when he was looking at Chris sorta fidgeting while he was driving b4 the accident. Just imo.

    Sarah Shahi was insanely hot in this episode. She's still a knockout today.
