The AJ scene hits me everytime. I think all sons reach a point where they realize their father isn’t a superhero and is just as full of flaws as everyone else. Amp that up 10 times when you find out your father is in the mob.
I love show shall lists who off the babies, takes everyones money with the taxes, diddle the kiddos, and encourage illicit substance abuse, passing judgement on others. Sealy Publicani.
@@matt59fire So? Government got no right to take 50 percent of your money and then spend it on traines. We don't even need a government. Israel was ruled by judges and they worked for free.
@@haylobos8261 We arent Isreal. And judging by your last name, you dont live in isreal either. Calm down. I never said it was right or wrong. Im not going to even give my opinion. Im just telling you what they do.
I love the close-ups on Jackie’s, Tony’s, and Junior’s eyes. The first two have these calculating looks, always thinking ahead and keeping things on an even keel. Junior’s just doing nothing but posturing.
The way he looks at AJ and winks was one of my fav scenes in the entire show. Gandolfini was so incredibly great at portraying the most simple but universal emotions through his acting. AJ was Tony’s favorite person in the world. Any son who’s grown up with a caring father knows exactly what this feels like. Not to mention paparazzi on the soundtrack closing out this episode perfectly. Brilliant just brilliant.
"AJ was Tony’s favorite person in the world. Any son who’s grown up with a caring father knows exactly what this feels like" Did we watch the same show?
@@expandingbeyondmyenvironmet999 I’m not sure if tony is fully to blame but the family didn’t last long after he became boss at the end of the show almost all the capos are dead
I agree Tony perverted the "Mob Family" so much that New York had to step in. The money they all work so hard for to just kick it up to some degenerate that gambles it away right in front of them.
I like how the shot of AJ's death of innocence as he stares at his dad and his gang. The picture along with Meadow's "I told ya so" gaze really hits so hard. Never realized he sees Tony flanked by Christopher And Pussy who both happen to be in sunglasses. AJ's realization of his Dad's dangerous life literally foreshadows the lengths of measure he takes when it comes to maintaining power.
Something about the scene towards the end with the posterboard of all the players and that agent crossing out Junior as Capo and replacing it with BOSS. The black and white color was beautiful and the picture of Junior looking downwards is epic. Long Live David Chase!
i think the way AJ looks at Tony at the funeral is one of the most powerful scenes in the entire show. A child realising the man he thought was his father that he respected and admired, is really just a violent and very dangerous professional criminal. AJ was a innocent young kid before this scene who was quite likeable, but after this he went off the rails. What's the point in being a good kid when your father pretty much breaks every rule laid down by society
The wink that Tony gives AJ, gives me goosebumps.....what an incredible show, incredible cast....nothing like it will ever come to pass again. Thanks for the memories!!
Wow, Tony was flat out skinny in season one, compared with the others. Also, kind of cool how Meadow and especially AJ basically grew up in front of our eyes over those 9-plus years (don't forget the pilot was filmed in 1997 to pitch to networks).
Eammon: No apology, necessary. The one thing I'm certain of is the pilot aired on 1/10/99. So, very close to '98. We both are just saying it was filmed well before it aired, so let's just leave it at that. Peace, mate! :)
I dont remeber who it was, i believe it was his wife that said that he gained more weight for the Sopranos and when the show ended found it hard to take it off, it eventually contributed to his heart attack.
Agent writting Boss under Junior’s photo and then, camera cuts off to tony’s Eyes... That’s when David Chase told Us who the real boss was! Also, even though Junior status changed to Boss, he still has the Capo title crossed... Pure Cinematography in TV during the times when TV wasn’t that cinematographic!!!
4:02 when they strike out the word ' CAPO' and write 'BOSS' under junior's picture, immediately followed by a close up shot of Tony's eyes just goes out to show that not Junior but in fact Tony is the real boss of North Jersey
So many things happening the evolution of Tony and junior, A.J seeing the reality of it all. Man this show layered so much and such a way it is just a masterpeice. RIP James Gandalfini and to the many others you will always be remembered.
He didn't throw him under the boss , junior wanted to be boss but so did Tony so the Best way to get both of both worlds was to make junior boss and keep himself the "true" boss also called the street boss
+NWAWskeptic And he could have had or been anything--with HIS ties and HIS daddy? But he chose to be a complete wimp. Perhaps that after Robert Iler's arrest, the writers kind of lost his character arc and didn't know what to do with him... *hehe*
I think this whole episode actually explains a lot about his character. I actually feel quite sorry for him now; the first time I thought he was just Joe jerk-off.
@@WellHelloDali Tony didn't want his son to continue in this; that's why he targeted his nephew as the successor. Only he was too dim and addicted to succeed. His kids were never going to be part of it; that's part of why he's so conflicted from the start, seeing a shrink. My humble opinion of course.
ADD: Just re-checked J.G.'s death date, June 19th /13. I had originally edited this clip a couple of years previously to 06/13 for my old channel, but sat on it for some reason. The wink at the end says it all. Still miss you, James. Many fans do and always will. 💔
James Gandalfini worked so hard!!! Every Ep, no rest.... what an amazing and committed actor he was. I first saw him in True Romance and he was unforgettable...what a Star...he is truly missed.
@@Sillysoft Know his portrayal in The Last Castle seemed wooden and his voice forced like he was trying to sound like a Colonel but you have to use a natural voice and mannerisms or it isnt believable.
0:54 I love that bit about favorite nephew. I come from a large Italian American family and it's a valid claim, My older brother and I are my uncles favorite nephews it's a true thing
apparently the genovese family would do that, they would prop someone as a boss, they'd have a big dinner, really high profile, etc and honor the new "boss" of the family but he really wasn't the boss. Only difference is that the man they put out as a front boss knew the deal, they didn't do it behind his back like in the sopranos.
+newdawnnation Sure it was....Jimmy saying "Holy Mother of God" to Sil and Christopher seconds before he's whacked pretty much sounds like a "I fucked up" confession to me.
Trotmaster15 Welp...since he was a Captain they did pretty much "vet" him after they got suspicious of him...and in the end it appears they knew he was "singing"....but mistakes are known to happen....Salute!
I've always liked the fact that during the ending scene when the board is being changed. Junior's eyes are looking down on his people whereas Tony's eyes in the picture are looking across like he's their equal
Wow. That part where Gandolfini smiled towards AJ hit different. The world misses that man. And then just as the image leaves my brain, you end the video with showing it again. Made me start crying
When AJ smiles at Tony At the funeral, and Tony winks at him, it reminds me of my dad.. He used to wink at me like that when I was a kid, I sure miss him..
I’ve watched it three times and Im on my 4th run right now. Every time it’s like the first time I watch it. The breadth and depth of the show are just incredible. I like the subtle dose of humor, however dark it may be, which gives it a nice touch. The writing is just amazing.

What an iconic scene
Absolutely
I agree The writer’s of "The wire” give this a run for its money though
Yea but I highly doubt that any mafia would be saying and doing these things with some random waiter named John in the room lol
A beautiful wink from Tony at the end.
Goodbye James Gandolfini.
I love and miss you.
Thank you for the great memories. xxxx

That funeral scene symbolizes the death of AJ’s innocence. Finally realizing what is really going on..beautifully done 👏🏻👏🏻
Innocence?? The kid has always been a little shit
It may not have been perfect, but he loved and cared for his kids and provided for them. In the shit with everyone else, from a different perspective
AJ was always one of the most stupid characters on the show.
Amen to that….

We all did too, just go and look the your pictures.
This was the best television showshow i had ever seen and Tony sopranos has to go down as one of the best characters ever to grace tv.
that wink, the smile.... thats not acting anymore, thats just real...
James Gandolfini - thankyou
We didn't just watch the sopranos. we where in it.
It felt that way, didn’t it?
I honestly felt like part of the family towards the end, like I'd known these guys my whole life.
OCTOBER DUSK that’s a good assessment of our experience. Many people say that last scene was “us” the viewer dying. Which is why it goes black.

Two of the best scenes in the show. Up there with Pine Barrens, Chris’ intervention, and Tony and Junior’s final scene together
Evidently Chickentown. The scene where Phil makes the decision to start the war.

One of Tony's greatest moves. Like him or hate a very smart move by him and ruthless to throw his own uncle under the bus
He didn't throw him under the boss , junior wanted to be boss but so did Tony so the Best way to get both of both worlds was to make junior boss and keep himself the "true" boss also called the street boss
He didn't anything of sorts, Junior wanted this.
Junior tries to get Tony whacked so I don't think him using his uncle as a scapegoat is really that ruthless
It would have been Tony they were at disagreements about it until Tony said fine your the boss
The 'Those people went through WW2' cracks me up every time, what, the very dangerous American home front?
the day AJ's childhood ended, his problem is he never took the next step and became a man.

One of many best scenes... Sopranos will live on forever
Tony almost seems kind of innocent here compared to how he would develop over the next 6 seasons. What an awesome show.
1:53 That scene right there is actually referencing the Godfather when Bonaseria whispers in Vito’s ear.
one of the best scenes in the show, music in sopranos is insane
4:07 Brilliant edit.
Whenever I revisit The Sopranos, I feel like Im seeing old friends.....as despicable as they are...lol
the transition and picture taking as they all take a toast to junior is so cold i had to rewatch it a couple times.
Awesome. No other TV had so much depth
These are two of the best end scenes to an episode in any show ever.
I would love to see a blooper reel for the sopranos.
So would I. Even have the boxed set and there is nada...Checked around, lots of compilations, but no bloopers... dayum! LOL
There is none. The sopranos is real
Notice how Junior's nameplate sticky was the only one with CAPO not centered, so to write BOSS? How convenient.
