Meadow was always his guardian angel. She was why that rat didn't kill him outside his motel room. Her voice prevented him from walking into death. She wasn't there when the man came out of the bathroom in the diner. She was just a moment too late.
Or what if she showed up right on time and Tony actually lived?
That’s if you believe the theory that Tony was killed in the final scene. There’s no evidence provided to prove that.
I read somewhere else that when Tony made that huge bet on the horse named “Meadow Gold” and the horse ended up losing by a nose, that it was foreshadowing about the series finale when Meadow arriving a few seconds too late to see Tony’s killer and warn him. Thought it was a neat theory.
@@BlueCollarHero1 what evidence do you have to support that Tony was killed in the series finale?
@@davedaddy101 I wouldn’t say there is direct evidence. I would say there is enough to draw a conclusion that Tony was killed. Every time the door to the diner opened, Tony looked up and saw his family walk in. When Meadow walks in,, the screen turns black.
There were some suspicious characters in the diner. There was a group of Boy Scouts in the diner (same when Bobby was killed). Speaking of Bobby, they talked about death when he and Tony were on the lake. “You probably don’t see it coming” Bobby said. This a long shot, but when Christopher was waking from his coma he kept mentioning 3 o’clock. That was the position of the bathroom where the guy potentially went to the bathroom to get the gun to kill Tony, Godfather style. The Godfather was Tony’s favorite movie.
It’s a fascinating and clever ending for this show. Heck, it’s still being discussed today.
Do you have evidence he lived?
I always start tearing up when Tony starts hearing Meadow's voice as a little girl.
Same here. Very heartfelt
Weirdo
Yeah hit me hard
Always think of my kids during that moment. Gets me everytime
Imo i thought it was a lil Corny...
I like how they had James Gandolfini and Steve Buscemi drop the hard North Jersey accents and use their normal speaking voices.
Yes that was cool
I’m never noticed that till you said.
@John Smith it was a dream, how’s that breaking character?
@John Smith first time he was dreaming while in an induced coma. Probably not gonna be dreaming his typical dreams
@John Smith sorry about my sloppy response earlier, I was a bit distracted with family stuff; i edited it since it was completely unintelligible
but yeah to each their own. i liked it but i understand what you’re saying
This show is so damn good at capturing the eerie quality of dreams. The fearsome nature of the "man" who greets tony, the voices in the wind, the way tony can't quite see the people in the house that they call his family. I also liked the season 5 dream with the coach.
Ben L I'm impressed by something I said ( about to say ) above ?
This isnt @DREAM this is @N(EAR)D(EA((R=18=666))TH)E(XPERIENCE)
I can't think of any other show I've seen that is able to portray a dream sequence in the same way as I experience it in my head at night.
It's true, no series has ever done dreamscapes with the realism of Sopranos, funny cos it's a paradox, dreams/reality.
The man was his cousin who he killed, which adds an extra layer to the death dream
They did this so well. It's a really upsetting scene.
Yeah, every time.
I got a bit of a Shining vibe from this scene. A bunch of doomed souls haunting a building waiting for someone from their past lives to return for eternity.
Upsetting?!?...
The we love daddy part.. feel sorry for him... tbh... and the shining yes defo.. jeez
Like the whole show
My dad is a Mexican musician and he plays that song that the mariachis are playing. He just died from coronavirus. I love you dad. I will always love you and be with you and you will always be with me.
sorry for your loss
@@heyaytlgno3951 Thanks
Whats the song name?
@@ifeellikepablo6970 La Feria de las Flores
My condolences. I lost my dad last year and this scene hits me hard, especially since we watched this together. RIP
This was always a hauntingly poignant scene, but tonight it resonates even more. Rest In Peace, James Gandolfini...
Damn, 2013 comment.
2022 now, and Paulie Walnuts, Tony Sirico is gone too. Shah of Iran, Butchie, Carm's dad, Jinny Sac, Vin Mackenzian.
A lot of other people who entertained us are gone prematurely - James Horner, Anton Yelchin, Bill Paxton, Robin Williams, Ph. Seymour Hoffman, Ray Liotta, Norm McDonald, Paul Walker. Many more.
Entertainment took a heavy hit during the last decade.
@Tableú Awww, bless your heart. Obviously, you're going through something right now. I hope they find some meds that work for you and things get better.
@Tableú That doesn't sound so bad. Have you ever been stuck at a Holiday Inn Express in Cleveland on a Tuesday night?
@Tableú What lake of fire?
@Tableú I didn't ask you to cite supernatural literature. Do that again, and I will cite some of my own. What lake of fire? Where is it physically located?
I imagine Kevin Finnerty was who Tony would have been if he had a loving mother and had he not followed his father into the mob. Also when he says "I don't want to." My heart absolutely breaks.... he sounds so vulnerable with a childlike innocence. Fantastic acting.
Kevin Finnerty is definitely someone Tony wanted to be deep down inside
His moral struggles of running the mob and hurting people, of hurting his family and friends
Kevin Finnerty, slightly flawed, but is a good person, who cares deeply about his family and not doing wrong to other people
Fantastic writing, first and foremost
Kevin finnerty is supposed to be a representation of his sinister mobster side and the confused salesman is supposed to be the version of tony that went the straight arrow route instead of becoming a mob boss...its like his football coach said in tonys dreams ....." U picked the easy way out."
His “whole life” is in the briefcase, that he can’t let go. Meadow is his constant guardian, keeping him from death. What a superbly written episode , and another gem in the series.
I love the use of this dark, faceless woman that constantly haunts Tony's dreams. I feel like it's the idea of this idealized woman, this mother figure, this lover, whom he can never prove himself too. Whom he can never please. It's reflected in every woman that Tony loves and dates. All his goomaras, his daughter, his mother etc.
even if this was 10 years ago, pretty sure somebody said if you pause at that frame the face is the one a demon would have. that's at least what i kinda see as well
onlythequestion Faceless woman is Livia “ His Mother “
@@mladenbro8435 look her hand too, she has claws
@@gab1649 you're high brother
@@iaingrieve9598 i was high, true
This was a strangely unsettling scene. I just think it was Tony B acting so cordial and so proper and Tony S not noticing who he was. Also the aura around the house felt very evil, all those lights but the figure in the doorway is almost pitch black and the wind blowing with the the little girls voice. It didn’t even feel like what purgatory would be, it felt like what hell would be. the devil is the king of lies and deception, so of course he’s guna make hell look warm and inviting.
Tony made a living of walking people into rooms they never left again
Or, perhaps the sins of the living don't count for much in the land of the dead.
I think we all see what we want to see in this scene.
As soon as I heard the mariachi music I was like “.....ain’t this guy Italian??”
@@MomMom4Cubs nah, he’s right. That lady was pitch black and there was literally mariachi music playing instead of classic Italian hits they’re used to playing at their own funerals and stuff. It felt way too eerie to come off the way you portray it to be. Remember Tony was positive he was going to hell which is why his humanity slowly corroded throughout the seasons and was a sociopathic maniac by S6. If he let go of that suit case it was game over for him.
@@christopheryanez I'll go for it. Your case is compelling.
Probably my all time favourite Sopranos scene . Perfection .
Yes, perfection!
Yall crazy
Yep
Mine too
Agree. The only scene in the show that made me cry like a baby
One of the best scenes ever about the border between life and death, great visionary talent of the writers capable of superbly representing the scene with an allegorical meaning.
He's an old fashioned guy, Pop. Very allegorical.
And Gandolfini conveys that fear and confusion of where he's going so perfectly
@@dr3dg352 I don’t know….he got the blies
Stop
I agree. Between the sacred and the propane.
I think that he was trying to trick him into "letting go." The house was going to be a gateway to hell. Remember that Tony killed the guy.

19 deaths he was going to hell
Maybe, or there's no hell and it's just Tony's subconscious and he was just headed to complete oblivion, but yes "Blundetto" definitely had the vibe of politely insisting that Tony cease to exist.
The way he tells him, "You need to let go.." with a hint of contempt is foreboding.
Note to self: dont give steve buschemi the brief case
But DO accept the egg from Danny Devito.
at 1:54 when tony says his whole life is in the suitcase, you see Tony B entity staring at the suitcase like its a tasty meal. then tries to lure him to death. Very creepy.
That looks to me like a regular look 👀
if you listen, tony spoke in past tense. 'I lost my _real_ briefcase, my whole life _was_ in it' implies that he doesnt have his life with him in that moment
i think you’re reading too far into it
That was a demon posing as someone familiar to Tony. Luring him in to hell
Exactly
“I always liked you. You were always the best of them Lloyd. The best God damn bartender from Timbuktu to Portland, Maine or Portland, Oregon for that matter”
And if you look very closely at the lady standing on the porch (his mother) her face resembles a rotted dead corpse.
For some reason the silhouetted people in the windows just creep me out.
Creepy af
The Mexican music is that made this scene what it is.. the song is called “la Féria de las Flores” typically a song played as the body is being lowered into the ground...
I think the music is also a reference to the enchiladas that Tony B. gave to Tony. It was the last thing he gave Tony before he was shot
@@mattsteelman9702 that is definitely something
@@mattsteelman9702 thanks I was racking my head wondering why Mexican music was playing at an Italian party

He just never had the makings of a varsity athlete
fju2112 Smowl hands. That was his problem.

I can relate to that ❤
@@michaelwoods1171 sorry for your loss
I just lost my father. It's been the hardest thing I've been through
And I've been through some things. Especially considering they wouldn't let us see him the entire time he was sick. It's like a sudden death that's extended if that means anything. I had to get my last words over the phone as I couldn't get there in time when he started to let go. I'll feel like I'll never be the same. We were very close. I wish you nothing but the best. Sorry for your loss
Major condolences. Been there and done it. Losing a parent, regardless of the child's age is brutal. The only thing that scares the shit out of about death is leaving the ones who love you behind.
Same. It's a pain that never goes away.
This was also one of the most heartfelt episodes I have ever seen for any show. The Sopranos will always have a place in my heart.
I cry my eyes out to this scene, especially when you hear “don’t leave daddy!”. I miss my brother so much, and it’s been a year since he’s gone. I couldn’t say goodbye, couldn’t ask him to hold in there, I love and miss him so much. 😞
Not the same but I teared up the second time watching it cus I can imagine my daughter saying that and she’s the sun to my dark days
I miss my dad so much...watching that the tears are welling......but handing his hand unfortunately was not a nitemare.......give anything for 5,,more minutes and a kiss on his head...🥀🥀🥀🦋🦋🦋🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏💐💐
This was one hell of a scene. I almost teared up IDK why its just so uplifting and peaceful at the same time... hard to explain
I feel that I teared up at this scene first watch and Almost did again on my 117818 watch
Definitely felt like i was going to tear up, got major chills from this scene
Great screen writing.
It’s the song that has you
Same here
The way he says “you can’t bring business in there” is an important line. Business in the sense of “unfinished business”. All the messiness and loose ends of life we leave behind. I imagine the moment before you die you probably think for maybe just a split second all of the things you never did, tried or finished. All the things you never corrected and all the people you said you’d reconcile with but never did. This dream is basically Tony deciding weather or not to just accept all the things he left unfinished by giving up the briefcase of life. It’s all those loose ends with his dysfunctional family, all the chaos that would ensue in the underworld if he died and all the people that count on a man so powerful...and of course all the stress and turmoil that go with it. Or choosing to just “let go” and embrace the release and nothingness of death. But right at the last minute he somehow hears his family’s call and realizes that maybe life is still worth living on some level. As tempting as it is to just “let go” of such a chaotic, botched existence, maybe the connection of family makes it all worth returning to.
It was his soul
That’s one way to see it and I liked it. However, I see it as If the case was his life and he was holding onto it. Letting the case go and getting in the house was accepting death.
sinners fear the lake of fire, thats why they cant let go of their miserable life and cry for redemption
@@Neko.Virtual go suck christ's cock somewhere else.
Life is worth it. Maybe Tony didn't got what would've made him a well-rounded human, adept at all or most factors of life. However, he still got something. He still got a life. What he may or may not have realised -since I didn't watched the show I'm unsure- is that it could've been much worse.
Example: Livia could've really become a murderous sociopath and kill her own son in his young age.
What I need the one reading this comment to understand is that while we may not always get what we wanted in life, it could've been much worse. You could've been not here on this earth while you complain that you didn't got what you believe, would've set everything right. Sure, do complain, do criticise but also realise that things might have never begun instead of a botched or innately flawed and rigged beginning and a difficult childhood and onwards.
Yeah. Briefcase obviously is the soul. "My whole life is in there".
Really? I didn't see it as that. I saw it as his life before he became apart of the mafia, he has his whole life ahead of him and gave it all up to become apart of the mafia and he is now entering hell
I see it as his "baggage" more specifically - all of Tony's attachments to his mortal life that he will leave behind upon death.
Maybe grasping at straws but in pulp fiction its widely accepted that Marcellus Wallis’ soul is in the brief case. Maybe the idea was used here in this scene.
It was his soul. Thats why he said he lost his real one. He lost his soul when he joined the mob
@@thugmonk9837 acute observation
Probably one of the most metaphoric scenes in the history of Hollywood. The writers put so much emotion and human relation into the scenes in this show. Absolutely Breathtaking!
It’s not Hollywood it’s made completely in ny/ nj but I get what you’re saying
Listening to meadow calling his name and it being the only thing to call him back from the brink is such an emotional gut shot. Since having kids it makes me tear up. Incredible scene
Shamefully,...i barely got around to binging Sopranos during this quarantine. This was one of my favorite scenes. It had me teary-eyed, especially when he heard Meadows voice as a little girl telling him not to leave. Well done.
My father had a very near death experience in the hospital not too long ago. Not from COVID but septic shock, pneumonia, and legionnaires all in one. He told me about seeing some old friend who passed, his friend who has been dead asked him, “ you want to come in!? Everyone wants to see you”. And his friend listed others who had passed. My father said “I’m not ready, I need to go back”.
I been watching sopranos again and just saw this scene and man did it have some familiar and eerie aspects to what this scene is like. And same with his story it was a brightly lit room only it was a house outside a small street the width of a hallway. Weird……
This episode is about reincarnation back into the matrix. Tony couldn’t accept his karma with Kevin finnerty (the situation with the monks) so this realm trapped him back into this world with the FLASHY house and BRIGHT LIGHTS, all a facade. The real truth is the darkness which is meadows voice. If your father went back into the light, he comes back to this false realm and the matrix trapped him with his friend who passed which took a lot of emotion out of him. However, if he goes into the dark which Tony should’ve done he would’ve found pure happiness but we would never know because everyone else goes into the light…remember if your in a coma or dead REMEMBER TO GO INTO THE DARK
@@ShawtyMane316 👀
one of my relatives had a NDE fairly recently too, and saw my aunt who died in 2016. and they ran to hug my aunt, and my aunt crossed her arms and said "don't come any closer." when they both have the briefcase it reminds me of that. tony uncle al is doing the opposite.
@@KimLaCapria isn’t it weird how similar it sounded. My father said there wasn’t any memory either, he didn’t want to come back for any specific reason he could recall, he said it was more like a “hunch” he was needed. So eerie, I truly wish all of you who have commented and liked a very happy new year. Much love to you all, stay safe, and be well!

It's funny how your ego is stripped in these sort of dreams. You feel vulnerability, and this Buscemi character has existed in many of my dreams in some form or another. A domineering nature around him.
he is creepy character buscemi evil even
I've watched 1000 shows, and this is some of the best writing and directing in TV history. I was getting goosebumps all over.
I figured that Tony's experience as Kevin Finnerty was purgatory.
Inn Finnerty = Infinity
what?
James Kennedy nah it was more like all his lies and shit he put out in the world
Same Chrissy went when he was in a coma. Irish bar
Yes definitely. He had to be a normal working guy with a nagging family, surrounded by Buddhists who he found pretentious, with Alzheimer’s and he’s Irish. Sounds like Tony’s purgatory although this couldn’t have been it because purgatory starts after you die before your judgement
Probably as an ironic gesture. Remember when Tony S killed Tony B. it was on the doorsteps of an old two story house in the woods and he shot Tony B as he walked up to the porch to enter the house. In this sequence Tony B getting Tony S to enter means DEATH.

Such a creepy, unsettling scene. I've always found these sort of purgatory, hell, dreamscape sort of experiences between life and death so fascinating and emotionally challenging, and it's rarely ever done to my taste on screen but this is phenomenally done.
Oh, it's definitely hell, I think when you're there, you're not supposed to be scared. With this scene, it's creepy with shadowy figures, it's entrance to hell, a mirage to make it look warm and welcome.
This was one moment in the show where I knew I was watching something utterly special. Something you just know you won’t see very often. This show is a huge party of my life and always will be
It took this long lol

Heart beat stops -> screen goes to white -> meadow says “please don’t leave us daddy we love you”....probably the most moving moment for me for the entire show
One of my favorite scenes in any show or movie ever
This was one of the most haunting and beautiful eery scenes I’ve ever seen. How he says “I’m scared “ he doesn’t know why, There’s something telling him to not let go and walk in, holding himself back. His mother waiting for him at the door. Meadow (his guarding angel throughout the show) calling him in the background in a younger voice. The white light. Chills. Absolutely brilliant.
Pretty sure that is Tony's mother standing in the doorway.
Wasn't it Gloria Trillo?
She took her own life when she ended relationships with Tony...
Maybe she's waiting for him in another life?
@@benzylmethane157 If it was her, then it's probably the gateway to hell. She killed her self
@@vaporwaveedits5961 explain
@@basidan4488 Tony's family were catholics. When you commit suicide you get sent to Hell. But Gloria was a nonbeliever *as a buddhist* and she killed herself.
That's what I thought too
Here's my POV :
Tony is dead here
Buscemmi is the Devil undercover
The house is portal to Hell
Devil lures Tony with promises of going home
Devil lures Tony saying his family is inside
Devil tries to take Tonys soul (inside suitcase)
Pulp fiction has a similar suitcase where many fans think holds either gold or a "soul" so maybe Chase and Tarantino made this episode secretly together.
That also explains the Mexican music in an Italian/American show. (See: Kill Bill - maleguana salerosa, etc)
Anyways 4$ a pound
Is this a joke
No I think it was really Tony B spirit. I don’t think the devil would use someone Tony shot.

Very few scenes in my life make me cry each time I see it, but this is certainly one of them, for reasons I can never explain, but I just simply feel.
NO DOUBT! IT WAS HELL!
All those inside were demons waiting for him to enter "his family" now, you can even see the demon at 1:25 waiting, he even felt something was wrong and was scared, and that briefcase must've contained his life, that's why he didn't wanted to hand it over and then we heard meadow in the living world calling him back so basically she saved his soul!
JohnnySky I know you’re comments old as fuck big that “demon” was his mom lol and you can’t enter heaven with any luggage.
H D those are the lights. They had to have her be a shadow basically since the actress passed away
At the end of the series - Meadow was the only one who wasn’t at the diner table.
She couldn’t save him a second time.
as the guy already said, find it on HD and slow it. it's creepy as fuck.
There is no god
This scene almost makes me cry every time, the fact that he can still hear his daughter calling for him. We lost my dad to heart failure, they said it hit him 20 minutes before we found him in bed. He was asleep when he went. So I like to think it was something like this for him. But whatever was in that house was to beautiful to resist. So he went in. Rest In Peace dad. Wish I coulda watched this show with you when you were still here. Rest In Peace James gandolfini, you were a legendary actor.

This is one of my favorite scenes in film and tv history. So powerful. I love it
the best
This scene is all that more haunting R.I.P
Yes, reading the comments made me understand the scene better, I had assumed the house was heaven, but steve buscemis character is clearly the devil, he acts like a friend and tries to lure or trick tony into giving him his briefcase and go inside and that's what the devil does, he likes to act like a friend and trick you
Let me take that brief case, looks like it weighs a ton. You can let it go, let me help you with that. They are all inside waiting for you.
Just absolutely powerful, master crafted- writing, acting, and directing. The Sopranos is a once in a lifetime series that I will continue to revisit.
This is a common story, but there's a Twilight Zone episode called The Hunt about a man who dies and almost walks into Hell but is saved by his dog. Gave me vibes of this scene.
I think I remember the one you mean. The 'door man' claimed to be an angel or something, right? And the dead guy believed it, but then his dog started barking and going apeshit? The dead guy eventually takes his dog and leaves, and the last scene of the 'angel' has him looking annoyed as fire erupts around him or something like that?
This has got to be one of my favorite scenes ever.
Hands Down the Best Episode.
I don't know about hands down the best but it was good
if you concider tha livia(his mother) was waiting for him...yes its hell!!!
i just watched this scene for the first time today, and i’ve gotta say i’ve never seen anything quite like it. i really can’t put into words why exactly this scene makes me feel the way it does. it is so eerie and upsetting and yet so comforting. the music. the lights. the silhouettes in the windows. watching this choked me up and gave me goosebumps. definitely my favorite scene in the show thus far.
GRIFFIIIIITH!!!
This is so well done. My favorite depiction of what dying could actually be like inside your mind. We’ve all heard stories of the white light, seeing dead family members, being pulled towards something… just perfection.

Yep. This has to be my favourite scene of the whole series.
I really tear up at stuff like this.
There will never be a show or movie that even gets close to this show to capturing what dreams are actually like. The writing in this show is also the best ever. I can’t put into words how great it all is.
My favorite thing about this scene is how in your dreams even things that are so obvious and ordinary can seem to unreal and foreign but at the same time its familiar in a way that it always makes sense in the dream world.
This is some writing!!
The first time I watched the Sopranos a few years ago, I didn't really know what to feel about the whole coma thing. I thought it was a bit of a cop out, but now watching the series though again, this is one of the most emotional scenes in the whole show.
I always tell people who say we don't know what happened when it cut to black, we do know. This is where Tony is going to end up. He will eventually have to walk into that house and come face to face with all the people he caused harm to and not even Meadow will be able to pull him out of it.
Sucks but such is the way of tragic characters.

He also intentionally does not have an accent.
Oh and also, when he regains consciousness at 2:53 thats a gunshot sound, not a thunder clap.
Wow that is creepy
Nobody mentions her devil ears, look very closely of the shot right before she goes into the house
Powerful scene.
This is a great description of HELL; The scene convinces you it’s all fine and safe until you feel unsettled, realizing you’re in a heavier presence. Your soul begins to weaken as you wonder why you feel odd. Your peers convinces you “it’s safe” or “they are all waiting for you”. That’s a strong indication of them wanting to torment you for eternity. …I’ve read similar near death experiences of people who were on their way to hell; very creepy. That’s why Ive accepted Jesus.
SPOILER ALERT: I think he died at the end of the season and went to that place.
@A very Stretchy V remember when Christopher came back alive? He had a message. ...”3 o’ clock”.
I think you were spot on. The house with the white lights was the entrance to hell and they were all waiting for Tony, to torture him for all of eternity. The suitcase represents his life. The moment he gives up that suitcase and goes inside, that’s the moment of no return. Now, David Chase leaves to each and every one of us, in our own imagination what it would be like to enter that house going into hell. That is the unsettling part. All the demons inside are waiting for Tony. All his past associates, including his mother. The 3 O’clock message from Christopher is meant to mean, the hit man coming out of the bathroom heavy with a gun, takes Tony out from Tony’s perspective, it’s 3 O’ clock from where he’s sitting. After the screen turns to black, Tony is thrown into the pit of hell for all of eternity to suffer for all his life’s indiscretions.
Sound insight. I feel the same way. Something very menacing about that party.
fuck jesus
@@davidgoulden5956It’s like Livia, his father and all the people he’s wronged/killed in his life or all the people who he strongly dislikes, are just waiting for him in there. Ready to torment him for all eternity.
This scene makes me cry. Its a sad day. Strength be with his wife, children
This particular scene makes me cry.
This episode and the previous one destroyed me. I've never had a show sum up some of my feelings this way before.
I’ve never cried from TV or movies but this did almost do something to me
Yet ANOTHER example of why this show is the greatest of all time
This scene always creeped me out. The way you can see people but you don’t see one face, a voice coming from the woods, it just always left me feeling uneasy for some reason.
I always Buscemi was playing the devil here. He was friendly kind and courteous "You can't take any business with you" I liked that the suitcase represented Tony's unfinished business, his life, his kids, his wife etc. The Devil appears as a smiling friend much the way the mafia sent the killers to bump people off, they came with smiles on their faces. When Tony looks as he tires to take the briefcase he knows this is no friend to me, that house that white light doesn't lead to heaven. I think Tony lived the rest of his life knowing when his time came he was going to hell, despite what he once thought. He always imagined he was deep down a good guy or not as bad as people like Ralphie, however they were all waiting for him on the other side in Hell. Thank god David Chase was not afraid to play around with these concepts and ideas. The ending of Many Saints when Christopher narrates form beyond the grave and it comes full circle as Tony looks into the coffin, he always said to Adrianna he was going to hell for Tony. Then we here him say "That's the guy my uncle Tony. That's the guy I went to hell for" beautifully, tragically, perfect ending.
As if there's anything poetic or romantic about actually going to hell.
@@spencerfrankclayton4348Check out this guy Dante Alighieri
"False apostles, deceitful workers, transforming themselves into apostles of Christ. And no wonder, for Satan himself transforms himself into an angel of light. Therefore it is no great thing if his ministers also transform themselves into ministers of righteousness." - 2 Corinthians 11: 13-15
The big and spacious building is hell.
Livia at the door is the most unsettling thing about this brilliant scene.
It was brilliant, when he said “everyone is in there”. So his dad and everyone he killed and he knew in his mob life who died were waiting for him in purgatory, then on their way to hell they all will go. And what makes it so brilliant is Livia at the door of the purgatory, waiting for him she’s going to hell with them too.
@@tkuvma2796 you don't go to hell from purgatory.
@@TheJkuyYou can. Purgatory I believe, at least in Catholicism, is a state in which one is awaiting judgement from God to Heaven or Hell. It’s for people God doesn’t call up for judgement immediately, he’s still thinking about it.
@@Wadiyatalkinabeet_ no, purgatory in Catholicism is the state where the soul is purified in order to enter heaven. Whoever is in purgatory has already been saved and can no longer be condemned.
@@tkuvma2796I always thought it was a contrast- his daughter was trying to bring him back while his mother was waiting to take him to hell (chilling)
The Twilight Zone episode "A Stop at Whilloughby" .***spoiler*** had a character finally letting go of his briefcase (business) and meeting his ultimate demise. Thought that was pretty interesting after watching this episode.
I just had to watch the episode after your comment Rod Serling was a genius I wonder what he could have done with CGI but your right on the money the similarity is obvious but I wonder if kevin finnerty would have liked willoughby
Whether they intended to or not, I really think this scene perfectly capture a part of our psyche that is different for everyone but similar in format. Tony’s favorite place, his uncles country house where he was arguably the happiest (as a child, like most of us), filled with family during a festive party. I don’t know if anyone else feels like this, but I definitely have an idealized version of some sort of event that happened when I was a kid in a big old house like this, and I’m sure if I’m ever near death that’s probably what I’ll picture too.
Not necessarily. He is in purgatory and experiencing a completely separate existence. It's metaphorical, if he joins the dead members of his actual earthly family in the stately house, he will supposedly die. If he rejects them and walks away he clings to his identity as Tony Soprano and lives!! This is my favourite episode EVER.
Scenes like this tells how sopranos was far far better than breaking bad and all those shows
Breaking Bad can’t hold a candle to The Sopranos. All respect to Vince Gilligan, Chase is just better.
This show man…Absolute masterpiece. Greatest scene on the whole show. Breaking Bad can’t hold a candle to this.
I agree... watched all of BB, but after watching Sopranos I realized how hyped up BB was. Memorable scenes in BB are far and few.
@@spuriusscapula4829 must've been on your phone then if memorable BB scenes are "far and few"
I was in a motorcycle accident when I was 19 years old. Britt Ekland was on the TV in the hospital room + brought me out of a 12 hour coma.
Cried like a baby in this scene, one of the most oddly emotional scenes I've ever seen. I think it was the little girls' voice that triggered my emotions
One of the most touching scenes of the Sopranos
This is one of my favourite scenes of all time. It makes me emotional every-time I watch it.
because he is dead. this scene suggest that if tony go ahead, he will be dead too. but he want to stay. tony dont want to die.
Also, anyone pick up on the fact that the house KIND of looks like a fancier version of the house on Uncle Pat's farm where Tony killed Tony B?
Nucky and Tony Soprano. Two amazing actors. God, this show was amazing.
This scene gives me chills
This made me tear up seriously...... i miss this show,and James. R.I.P 🌹
The “ daddy? Don’t go daddy ! “ gets me every time
James and Steve are master actors. This dream scene itself could be another drama series, or movie entirely away from The Sopranos. They act totally different characters, accents and mannerisms so convincingly in this dream from who they really are as Tony S and his cousin Tony B.
Meadow being there when he sees the light and comes back. Meadow coming through the diner door before he sees darkness. Sad as hell 🥲
One of the best scenes from one of the best TV shows EVER made !! 👏👏👏
My favorite comment on this video is, "What makes you think that was heaven?"
This is honestly my favorite scene in the whole show. Its so subtlety unsettling and eeiry. Even knowing how its going to go you feel that spooky anxiety of something unknown Tony is walking towards
Breaking bad's ozymandias has always taken the hype as being the greatest TV episode but still nothing compared to tony's coma dream sequences.
“Ozymandias” can’t hold a candle to “Join The Club”
This show was extremely good and I felt that a part of me died when the show ended, however absurd it sounds. The whole dream scene is incredibly realistic and David chase is a true mastermind. Will there ever be another Gandolfini ? I doubt.
Agreed!! It's not absurd at all... I think it hits harder because Gandolfini has passed.
Reminds me of Tupac lyrics: "There will never be another me an' no matter what they do
There will never be another you"
