I’ve done some thinking about that damn Sopranos ending.
After thinking about it and my reaction to it. I think I can NOT hate it now.
Honestly, during the whole diner scene, I was physically in a state of anxiety. My heart was racing, I was fidgeting – edge o’ the couch and all.That’s what Chase wanted. He wanted us to feel what it was like to be Tony Soprano every day of his life.
And there’s no resolution. Tony will always feel that way. Even in a restaurant enjoying dinner with his family. The creepy trucker guy (who was supposedly the brother of someone Chris whacked), the guy who goes into the bathroom in the homage to The Godfather (in the credits as Phil’s nephew, Nikki Leotardo), and the three black guys who may or may not be the same ones who tried to kill Tony in season 2 – they all add to the uncertainty. Hell, they even had the same boyscouts from the train store where Bobby was killed in the restaurant scene. (Thank you, internets!)
So, in the end, there are people there who could possibly want to kill Tony. Tony eats onion rings.
And, in the end, you don’t know.
You’ll never know how or where it ends.
Oh the movie never ends, it goes on and on and on and on.
Don’t stop believin’.
Don’t stop. They didn’t put the “believin’” on the end.
I really don’t think that they’ll make a movie, though.I believe this was the end. And a fitting end.
Chase whacked the audience.
Also, Don & Mike telling stories all day to the Journey song & cutting them off aburptly was comedy gold.
