1:00 - 1:15 I love the shots of the trees and then the cut to Valerie grinning. Maybe I'm looking to deep but i feel that sequence communicates a slightly nostalgic, naive infantile and sweet reminiscence of home. Like, Valerie, surrounded by the snow, felt like home again, some place that kinda resembled the one from his young years
It's likely also because he was trained as special Russian military, and almost certainly would been trained and primed exactly for this environment and he was realizing that if patient enough, he would gain the tactical advantage and have a form of homefield advantage (so-to-speak); which he sort of proved as it only took three seconds for him to incapacitate two armed men and make a run for it; and even after having part of his head blown off; he was able to escape, likely due to his knowledge and training for such areas as opposed to American criminals who you can safely guess aren't trained to withstand such areas in shitty circumstances. With it being implied that Valery climbed a tree to safety; he knew enough to cause his blood trail to end in a random location and then continue on to the tree and go up without leaving any noticeable proof of where he went, just that he vanished. I'd be smiling too if I realized that while I was being lead to my execution, it was being done in the environment I feel most comfortable in; especially as Valery would've known/assumed they're unskilled civilians (unless you count Paulies past in the army)
What I don't understand is how did they not be able to track him down after it snowed and no matter where this guy goes he's going to leave tracks. Are they that dumb?

Im convinced he survived by climbing a tree. As they were walking, he looks up at the trees like hes trying to come up with a plan. Then theres a perspective coming from the trees in the last part of this scene, like hes looking down at them.
In reality, being the ultimate badass he was, and considering they have guns and intend to kill him, he would have finished off Chris and Paulie immediately after they were both stunned. But of course, they can't kill off two of the main characters of the show. Still, I'm not buying that he runs off in the deep snow like that when he has that shovel in his hands and Chris and Paulie were momentarily down. He could have killed them - or at least severely disabled them - in a matter of seconds.

I love the fact that his dissaparance was never solved, its up for theories .. But logically he died since the russians never mentioned it. Their car with Sils money in it was even stolen, but didnt need to be the russian who took it .. Very good writing, one of the best scenes in tv and movie making of all time, its even up there with Deer Hunter scenes!
I always had this weird theory that this event was like a revelation to Valery. His friend mentioned that he was in poor shape due to his alcoholism and drug use, I think getting into Pine Barrens and the predicament with Paulie and Chrissy somehow showed him that he needed to start anew. I think he took the car and drove to starting new, letting Chris and Paulie die in the cold
I think he 100% survived, the reason the trail of blood stops is that he climbed a tree. The two idiots never thought to look up. The reason it never comes up again is that even if he makes it back to Slava, Slava doesn't know the details of what happened. He just knows, like Tony, his idiot friend turned a simple task into an insanely stupid life or death situation. So he sends Slava away, and he and Tony never bring it up for mutually beneficial reasons. Why rock the boat?
@rohunsaigal2576 I like to think he's the one that stole the car and the only reason he didn't cause problems later was that he decided to rethink his life.
Vasily might have survived, stolen the car and left Jersey rather than stay where two mobsters wanted him dead. I mean how many random hoodlums hang out in the woods looking to steal cars?
I recognize this spot, silvermine lake, actually up in harriman state park in new york, i’ve gone fishing in those lakes more times than i could count. To answer chrissy’s question, about a three hour drive to atlantic city.
This is the most realistic portrayal of gunfire in the entire series. Christopher trips and yells, "FUCK", and his gun discharges. And on top of that the SFX were on point too. Even later, when Bobby fires off the hunting rifle. "Pine Barrens" is legendary.
Looks so beautiful in HD! Sidenote: I always thought that last angle of this scene looking down at Chris and Paulie was Valkyrie up a tree looking at them, also why the blood trail stopped.. But wtf do I know, I got half a semester of Seeton Hall under my belt
That's a great assessment G L. I always figured David Chase and the writers would bring Valery back in some capacity for revenge. Or a plot twist with the Russians vs the Sopranos crew. Paul and Chris know they fucked up. Love the subtlety of the shortest cinematography angles this show inferred.
2:22 Hey Paulie, that thing in your hand is called a gun! When you pull the trigger these deadly things called bullets come flying out into whatever you're pointing that gun at, injuring or even killing your target! No point of holding a gun at someone if you're not going to use it when needed

"He killed 16 Czechoslovakians, he was an interior decorator"
The Russian guy going on a rant yelling in Russian and Chris asks Paulie what he’s saying hahahahaha
the weather at the beginning and end of this clip is sunny, the middle is completely cloudy lol
Can't have him in our winter social club, that much I do know.
Social club? HE'S GOTTA GO!
These two together, should have had their own TV show..
This dude looking around in the blizzard forest. Just made him feel at home.
Looks so beautiful in HD!
Sidenote: I always thought that last angle of this scene looking down at Chris and Paulie was Valkyrie up a tree looking at them, also why the blood trail stopped..
But wtf do I know, I got half a semester of Seeton Hall under my belt
Valkyrie lol
It is, same way that kid is looking down at Tony when he throws the gun into the snow after Johnny Sacks arrest
That's a great assessment G L. I always figured David Chase and the writers would bring Valery back in some capacity for revenge. Or a plot twist with the Russians vs the Sopranos crew. Paul and Chris know they fucked up. Love the subtlety of the shortest cinematography angles this show inferred.
Took an academic leave anyway.
@@vasvas8914 I’ve been playing a lot of Apex lately chill 😂
2:22 the hit makes me laugh every time it was so hard and loud at the same time 😂
I remember the first time I went to New Jersey. I never would have thought that it was so rural. Lots of woods there.
He gave THEM some of that Siberian Action!
"Fuuckin PIEECE SHIIIT "
This episode alone without the backstory could have been a 2 hour movie and I would watch it.
Looks almost something out of the Cohen brothers, love it.
"Maybe he's stunned" LMAO
I have been to the Pine Barrens. It is remote, it is a long way from everyone and this episode was BY A MILE the best ever
We shoulda stopped at Roy Roger's
And I shoulda fucked Dale Evans, but I didn't
As someone who grew up in the pine barrens, it’s about 45 minutes to AC.
The only unanswered question of the series...
0:46 🤣🤣😂
Some say he's still running to this day!
Guy killed 16 Czechoslovakians...
It's sad when they go young like that
He was an interior decorator
@@jervferreira his house house, looked like shit! 😆
If anything that last pov from a tree looking down at Chrissy and Paulie was probly valerys pov 😂
I wish they would have continued with this story line.
2:22
Hey Paulie, that thing in your hand is called a gun! When you pull the trigger these deadly things called bullets come flying out into whatever you're pointing that gun at, injuring or even killing your target!
No point of holding a gun at someone if you're not going to use it when needed
He spat upwards because in siberia if you spat upwards it’s so cold the spit would freeze before it hit the ground
He was an interior decorator. He killed 16 Czechoslovakians!🤣😂🤣
Valery should have zigzagged as he ran
“Give it some of that Siberian action”
Paulie hitting a headshot one handed at 50 yards after running in the snow and your heartbeat and hand would be racing, ya right.
after like 10 attempts, and he did serve in the military before
@@ec6511 lol you civilians really think everyone who joins the military is like a master pistol marksman. Even for a professional competition shooter that would have been extremely difficult after running and adrenaline to make that shot, let alone for a 60 year old.
@@kieferclarkf1674 my guy sopranos aint documentary its a show, ofc old man cant hit jack shit but hey its tv
@@kieferclarkf1674 for a virgin like you it’d be hard for me an expert marksman it’s fucking easy dude
dude it was a lucky shot...NOBODY not even Paulie thought he was aiming for its head but shit happens
This is absolutely the pinnacle of Sopranos bottle episodes.
Universal REMOTE, put it DOOOOWWN on DOCKING STATION!!
Listen to this prick giving orders
@@שריאללרר u got some balls my friend
Fucking Silvio!
@@1vicjustice watch it komrad
@@jessefortini4851 money is on n entertaaaainment centre...
RIP PAULIE !!!!!!
Chris: WTF he sayin'?
Paulie: Who gives a shit? (Turns to Valery) Keep diggin'!
The start of this scene looks a bit like Fargo.
Paulie gets me every time....he's hilarious
The pine barrens put The Sopranos on the map.
The best episode of the whole series!
The Sopranos have had many different actors appear in just one or two episode it just happened that this actor appeared in the episode which is seen by many as the best episode of the whole show
Pauli's Blick als der einfach weiter läuft. 😂🙈
I wonder if Valery ever lived. Never heard back from him throughout the series.
Always be prepared!! These 2 were way outside there comfort zone 😂😂
You can see the moment the guy's training kicks in
