The entire scene has the audience on edge that any one of the restaurant patrons could be a killer out for Tony. But it makes no sense that the screen goes dark from the audiences point of view if Tony was killed.Tony is being looked at from Meadows point of view as she walked in, and it was Meadow that was snuffed out.
>>218932017The fact this scene is still debated really speaks to the IQ of the average Sopranos fan.
The entire scene doth hold the audience in suspense, as though any soul within the tavern might prove a murderer seeking Tony’s life. Yet it accordeth not with reason that the vision should fade to black from the audience’s sight, were Tony himself the one struck down.Nay - Tony is beheld through Meadow’s own gaze as she entereth; and thus it was Meadow whose light was suddenly extinguish’d.
It was a dream sequence. The POV shots give it away since they're in every other dream sequence. Plus when Tony teleports to his seat and loses his jacket with the jukebox music still playing.
>>218932017what the fuck are you even talking about retard
>>218932069Its been tested
>>218932017Even game of thrones had a better finale than sopranos
>>218932949The jacket!!!
3 o'clock
>>218932949The song that plays as he enters is “All That You Dream” by Little Feat. Let’s face the music, folks…
>>218933568*teshted
>>218934261anybody have a decent theory about 3 oclock? Never read one. Could it just have been "random" and not really mean anything.
>>218934320>tfw its their only good song
>>218934416They having a late dinner. 9 pm is 3am in Italy
>>218934416Tony’s killer is at his 3 o’clock. Guy who walks into the bathroom to his right. Tony’s favorite scene from the godfather is where someone enters a bathroom at a restaurant, then returns and starts shooting
>>218932017I think the meaning of the scene is rather that when you live a life of violence you're never gonna be at peace and will always look back to see if violence hasn't caught up with you.
>>218934862Too much of a stretch, but good effort. >>218934642heh
>>218932017guys in the mafia have a sense of pride about only killing each other and not the familywhen Phil was whacked, they didn't kill his wife as well, they left her crying over Phil's corpse
>>218932017from a point of view standpoint, I like his interpretation. Well done
>>218934940>when you live a life of violence you're never gonna be at peace and will always look back to see if violence hasn't caught up with you.You'd have to be half-retarded NOT to see that it's this. Doesn't even matter if Tony dies here. Carlo's gonna testify, so he's probably going to prison for years/decades even if he's not killed, and even if neither of those happen soon, he's likely to be killed or imprisoned at a later point. Notice how "moved" Tony was when Carmine High IQ Lupertazzi Jr. told him how he quite trying to be boss because it was more important to be happy. Tony should've figure out a way to max out his money and then get out of the gangster life. But that's nearly impossible.
>>218935006thank you mafia expert
>>218934382Have a sheat
>>218932017>you the viewer should kill yourselfCertainly a running theme of modern media.
>>218932017Why would anyone kill Meadow? She's a spoilt airhead of no importance. Killing Carmela or even A.J. would've made more sense.
>>218932017Tony had a massive heart attack while eating the onion rings his doctor specifically told him not to eat after the coma. Fun fact: When Tony visit Sal, who was in a coma (just like Tony) an onion ring maker infomercial is playing on the TV as a foreshadow. Another foreshadowing is Chrissy telling Tony exactly how he will die and what hell is like.
>>218932017David Chase really shouldn't have said anything about what the ending meant
>>218932949This and Chase has confirmed this. It’s Tony observing that he’ll never be able to relax and enjoy calm moments with his family again.
>>218935675again, there's no single moment in the sopranos where a made man attacks/kills the family of another made man. Ade was the only example and that was because she was a rat. If New York kills Carmella and/or AJ, New Jersey would start targeting the wives and children of New York members.
>>218932017This is a mafia tv show.. she wasn’t murdered she was moitad
