The Sopranos: Made in America
I just finished watching my favorite t.v. show. Its the last episode of the 6th season, there’s alotta people out there asking questions about what really happened in the diner where the Soprano family ate to have dinner. Recap of the whole restaurant scene:
- tony walks into in to the diner
- looks for any sign of his wife Carmella, played by Eddie Falco (who happens to be Nurse Jackie)
- but no sign of her, so he looked for a table and sat down…kept on looking at the door every time it opens (at this part, i think he’s either anticipating for any of his family members, his paranoid because he knows he will be indicted, or worst - case scenario; he’ll be killed by one of the hit men from another crime family)
- he sees this mini jukebox on his table, looks for a song and finally chose “don’t stop believing” by journey ( which is symbolizing Tony Soprano’s hopes and dreams of not being indicted or killed).
- so Carmella finally came and sits down with Tony and told him that A.J. will be late and Meadow will be coming separately because she had to go to the doctor to switch birth control pills.
- while talking with Carmella and A.J. Tony could not help noticing the guy in the bar who kept looking at him from time to time.
- the scene goes to meadow having problems with the parking in front of the diner. then switches again to the three sopranos in the restaurant.
- A.J. ordered onion rings and they all ate.
- remember that guy in the bar? he went to the rest room and tony looks at him but made no effort to do something because he wasn’t a threat.
- the scene goes back to meadow again when she finally fixed her parking problems, and runs to the restaurant.
- when she’s there, the camera moves to focus at the whole building and the next thing you hear are gun shots (no one sees who gets shot and no one knows who was the shooter).
Everybody was frustrated because no one knows what really happened and why did David Chase just immediately put the scene to credits. So here’s what really happened; after my extensive research I found out that the person who got shot was Tony but his family did not get hurt. He got killed by another hit man from another crime family who he had an altercation with before. The whole restaurant, the picking of the songs, the waiting for all his family members, the gunshots that was heard, the sirens, and finally the fading to black scenes were all from Tony’s point of view. Since the last sensory perception that is the last to go when you die is your hearing, this explains the sirens he heard from the police cars that was on their way and the fading out to black was him dying.
So there you go! I love this t.v. show, its the best one out of all the so called pop culture hits they put on t.v. now! But there are some talks from David Chase that a feature film might be on the way…. I’d be the first one to watch that in the theater!!!!
